November 20, 20187 yr While waiting to put the funds together to purchase an ATC add on, I have been using the dreaded default ATC. My question is this: When ATC issues a traffic advisory for other traffic about my PMDG 777-200 aircraft the message refers to my aircraft as "Boeing". Is there a way to change something in aircraft.cfg or elsewhere so that ATC refers to mine as 777? I appreciate any insight (and a free ATC add-on gift for the holiday) Rob Robert Marton

November 20, 20187 yr Editvoicepack will do that. But it‘s become payware too with P3D. For FSX it might still be freeware, but I‘m not sure. ,
November 20, 20187 yr Tried changing the Boeing to 777 in A/C config,didn't work.

November 20, 20187 yr You'll have to edit this line in your config: atc_model=B77L into: atc_model=B772 The reason is simple, default ATC has no idea what that ICAO code is same as with the 7W. A perfect example for lack of decency of the default ATC btw. Cheers Henrik K.

November 20, 20187 yr Under the section in the aircraft.cfg [General] atc_type=BOEING atc_model=B772 This works for me. Regards Matt Williams Matt Williams
November 20, 20187 yr Author Thank you everyone, I will try that. I have been using EditVoicepack for years, that did not cure my problem. I will try the B772 change. Have a Happy Thanksgiving Robert Marton

However, changing the UI and ATC part in the aircraft.cfg won‘t harm anyone. ,
