January 19, 201115 yr Author Hi,editvoicepack only updates what ATC calls your aircraft, United, American or whatever. If you want to see your aircraft in the airlines livery, you have to download the required livery repaint for the aircraft you are flying. As for starting at a gate or parking spot other than the runway, you can select which gate or parking spot from the free flight menu. When you select which airport you want to fly from, go down to the box marked "choose runway/starting position" and click on the little arrow next to where it says active runway and you will be given a choice of starting positions (assuming the airport you're starting at has gates etc, most have, especially the major airports.)Hope this helps.SteveThanks it really does help a lot. Also just wanted to ask how do I fly the real routes the actual airlines do? Like Ive seen on YouTube . ( eg southwest KSFO to KLAX) And also I already have My Traffic 5.2 installed which should help with the airline call signs etc but they are not shown.

If you want more realism or more options you can use a third party planner such as FSBuild (http://www.fsbuild.com/) or use a web based planner such as routefinder ( http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/) amongst others.If you want ATC to call you by a correct call sign, Southwest for example, and you want the aircraft to be displayed in a Southwest livery then as I said previously, you have to download a Southwest (or whatever airline you want to fly) repaint for the aircraft you're using. This will give mean your aircraft is painted in the right colours and ATC should call it by the right callsign.If you just want ATC to call you by the right callsign and your not bothered about the paint scheme then you just have to select the aircraft you want to fly from the free flight screen, then pick the callsign you want from the airline callsign box.(this assumes you have installed and run the editvoicepack program mentioned earlier)Steve

Just would like to ask - as mentioned above if id like to get a call sign with the paint job etc i'll need to download these call signs myself online because I was thinking that My Traffic 5.2 not only gives Traffic AI but as well as Airline call signs with its real life routes etc. Ive tried using World-Of-Ai but once I installed these airlines I cant seem to get the airline with the call sign at all. Where would I be able to find it in FSX? Will I go to Free flight and just choose the Call sign there(Including the paint job) or what? May seem a bit obvious but I kinda suck at this :oThanks a million!

Once you install it, it will show up in the free flight aircraft selection screen where by you just select it as normal and you should find it will be set up with the correct call sign for that livery.(you have to make sure you have ticked the "show all variations" box too on the aircraft selection screen.Steve

Ive tried to use World-Of-AI to get my livery for the aircraft tail signs. I used the installer they asked me to download to add the airlines I want onto the game but when I load FSX just as its loading up it says : There are multiple objects with the same title. They must have unique title names (folder name)--> WoA_AIA_B763_GE_DAL-delta airlines_NC simobjects/airplanes/WoA_AIA_B763_GE(every single airline I loaded with the installer has this error but with its different name in the error etc).There are about just as many errors like this equal to the airlines I downloaded - not to sure if they are in the wrong folder or what. But according to my world of AI installer they are all going to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes automatically. Thanks again.
