ATC Callsigns - Speedbird

Featured Replies

Hi,I am flying British Airways but ATC refuses to designate the aircraftin the usual `speedbird` callsign although it exists in the airlineslist. It totally ignores `speedbird`.Any ideas how I can get ATC to do this. `Speedbird` is called forin the aircraft cfg by the way.Would appreciate any assistance - ThanksJohn

Try "SPEED BIRD" (not sure if it needs to be caps).Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

Hi Martin,Already tried that but it ignores either in lower or upper caseJohn

You must have the space, "SPEEDBIRD" will not work, "SPEED BIRD" should, if it still doesn't work then you may have to reinstall it into the voicepack, although I thought it was one included by default... not quite sure though.

This is the correct line in the aircraft.cfg, at least it works on my system. atc_airline=Speed Bird

Many thanks to all respondees. The problem was that the defaultwas given without the space between Speed Bird. All is now okayand I am most grateful.Jumbo
