P3Dv4.5 ATC using flight number not tail number

Featured Replies

OK, I am pretty sure there is a way to change this but I cant find it.  ATC is referring to my C210 by flight number  (Keeps calling me zero)  ( kind of hurts my feelings being called a zero. 😞    )Anyway I have looked at the Aircraft.cfg file which is where I thought you put the tail number in and did install it there under ATC ID.  But still I am called Zero not by my tail number.  I am not sure if this is common to other AC in my fleet or not.  Anyone got any ideas on how to have ATC call me by my tail number not zero?

 

Here is the section out of my aircraft config file if it help at all

Thanks

Yes, delete the default 0 on your scenario screen when you select your plane, and the remaining info that will be used by ATC will be your registration.

Thanks, is there a permanent fix?  I would like to not have to remember to do that each time?

Thanks again for the help.

Make the atc_airline blank, deleting the Maryland Air Haulers will last until you re-install that aircraft.
