Thanks to Apollomaker's post in the A36 forum, ATC calls my A36 a "Bonanza" now i.e. "Bonanza N9092 Tango, clear to taxi".http://forum.avsim.n...36-enthusiasts/I made the same change on my PA46T so now ATC calls me a "Malibu" using Apollomaker's tip. Thanks, AP!Bill

Is it the same with advanced things like "737-700" instead of just saying "737"?

Thanks Bill will try atonce I am home!

Superpilotv2- I don't think it will do what you want. I tried changing the ATC type of the default 737. I replaced "BOEING" with "737-700". For any of the airline versions I have, ATC called out the airline name and flight number. I tried the same thing with the white 737 and all atc would call it by was it's tail number.

In Real Life, does ATC call you "Bonanza N9092T" or "Beech N9092T" like in fsx ?

As has been discussed before (so those who know may skip) the purpose of giving a type gives the ATC a heads up on what kind of perfomance to expect from you. Technically a King Air is a Beechcraft as the Bonanza, but the speeds, climb rates, and service ceilings are much higher on the King Air. You can file a flight plan as just a Beechcraft, but you can expect a lot of calls about what type of aircraft you are.

but you can expect a lot of calls about what type of aircraft you are.

 

And if they ask what you are wearing... you got other problems...
