ATC flight number issue

Featured Replies

Hi. I just recently installed RC on a client PC for use with wide fs. Everything is working fine, except that my flight numbers are being spoken digit by digit "one zero one seven", instead of "ten seventeen", etc. Any ideas?

Nobody?

Seems right to me. And anyway, why specifically "ten seventeen", why not "one thousand and seventeen" or "one zero seventeen". I always thought calls signs were properly ennumerated. Seems usually that way when you listed to real ATC, at least here in Europe. Maybe you've been listening to some controllers taking shortcuts?RegardsPete

I think it depends on how you type it in the Radar Contact flight number window. Try typing "10 17" instead of "1017".-Al

depends on where you are, and what the proper way to phrase the flight number. there are rules, depending on the country you're in, and rc follows those rules.that being said, you may be able to over ride it. if you put "1 2 3 4" that may be pronounced one, two, three, four. if you enter "12 34" it may be prononuced twelve thirty four. but i doubt that "1234" will be pronounced one thousand two hundred thirty four.jd

Ahh, ok. I have tried to split the numbers like that, but I have been flying in Europe since I did the separate install, so maybe the rules are in place. Thanks, JD!@Pete, yes, here in the US the flight numbers are pronounced like that. Give Liveatc.net a try at US airports sometime ;)
