change atc aircraft name

[grayfox72 0]

Got a question and can not correct the problem.....I downloaded the southwest boeing 737-800 aircraft, installed it into my test computer ( I always test things in this computer before installing them into my flight sim computer). Now here is the problem both machines have fsx, test machine uses windows xp and flight sim computer uses windows 7. In test machine atc will announce name of aircraft as "Southwest" in flight sim computer atc will announce "Boeing".... I copied over entire file from test machine to flight sim machine. I doubled checked content of air config folder, both the same. why is flight sim computer not reading "Southwest" instead of "Boeing" ??? Thanks for help

Add "Southwest" to your airlines.cfg file (it's in the FSX root folder).

 

It looks like this:

 

Airwave

World Travel

Gaia

Orbit

Soar

Landmark

Pacifica

Global Freightways

American Pacific

Emerald Harbor Air

Air Canada

DC-3 Airways

McDonnell Douglas

Southwest  <<<<<<<<<<  Add this line.

 

There is no "air config" folder. only aircraft.cfg and the airfile, usually something like "Boeing747.air"

In the aircraft.cfg, check these lines:

 

atc_airline=Southwest
atc_flight_number=409
