Hello, I’m flying the Delta repaint, I have delta selected as my callsign and a flight number entered at the select aircraft screen, and ATC is referring to me as MDDG4.  doesn’t appear anywhere in the aircraft.cfg file.

thanks for any help.

I found this too. I'm actually in the process of submitting a bug report about it on the website. I think it may have something to do with the "Reload CFG" option in the menu.

Can't you just edit the aircraft.cfg to make sure that atc_airline=Delta?

Ok,glad it’s not just me.

Yes that is in the aircraft.cfg file.

It doesn't have anything to do with the aircraft.cfg, at least not the one in the main aircraft folder. I'm positive of that.

I've double and triple checked it to make sure there's not a bad atc_airline or atc_flight_number entry. I even checked the SimObjects folder under AppData\Roaming to see if something was getting changed. I'm pretty certain it has to do with the "Reload from CFG" option.

I had the same issue on the maiden voyage.  Make sure you set your airline in the vehicle selection as "Delta" - mine was set to "Delta Airlines" which my editvoicepak did not have a file for and thus it said MDDG4. 

Hmm, just reloaded the sim now ATC is correctly calling me by the delta callsign...go figure

I think I've figured out what triggers the issue. When you load an IFR flight plan into the flight planner, it reverts to MDDG4.

Lol, ok but the aircraft.cfg is where the sim gets your Aircraft callsign info from, and has nothing to do with anywhere in the AppData roaming folder. If anything maybe the "reload from CFG" option is changing the entry back to an incorrect one.

I know that. But when you change the atc_id, atc_airline, or atc_flight_number in the sim, it's stored in the state.cfg in AppData\Roaming. That's what I was referring to.

And I know it's not the aircraft.cfg, because I'm looking at it right now and Ctrl-F doesn't find MDDG4 anywhere in the file.

Edit 2: I just loaded the aircraft again and the callsign was just MDDG4 again. So, I'm really not sure what's wrong. I've submitted a bug report about it anyway.

I can confirm when I loaded the plane and the callsign was correct I hadn’t entered a flightplan.

I contacted support and got this response:

"the call sign is what you enter in the Route Planner page of Load Manager."

Sure enough there it is, I've never really spent time on that page so I didn't realize it was there.
