Hi,

 

I've been flying the S550 lately in the Airhauler2 addon and have noticed that ATC does not give it the ICAO designator in transmissions. Instead of getting "...is type Cessna Citation..." I just get "aero..". or something similar garbled response. I realise that Carenado used to omit this in the aircraft.cfg file in the early days but it is in the s550 as

 

[General]
atc_type=C550
atc_model=C25A

 

Here's the aircraft concerned...

 

[fltsim.9]
title=Carenado S550 Citation II VH-MRG
sim=S550
model=
panel= gtn
sound=
texture=VH-MRG
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=VHMRG
ui_manufacturer="Carenado"
ui_type=S550 Citation II
ui_typerole="Twin Engine Jet"
ui_createdby="Carenado"
ui_variation=VH-MRG
description=
atc_heavy=0
atc_airline=
atc_flight_number=
atc_id_color=0000000000
visual_damage=1

 

Google says that these are correct but I am hoping someone might be able to tell me why the correct response isn't given.

 

I'm using Prepar3D v3.4(latest release)

 

thanks for any suggestions

Hi Steve,

 

I changed it to:

 

atc_type=Citation

atc_model=Cessna

 

And ATC calls it now.  I did the same to Carenado's C525A CJ2 as well.
