Generic, Generic, Generic! Can we please get a generic mod?

Featured Replies

I am only flying about 35-40% of my hours in MSFS for various reasons discussed by many ad nauseum in other topics.  But when I fly in MSFS I am getting greatly tired of hearing ATC refer to most traffic as Generic this and Generic that.  Here a Generic, there a Generic, everywhere a Generic Generic. It is causing me to avoid tuning active ATC frequencies until I need ATIS.  Oh my! Don't go there either...

Can anyone write a mod that takes a handful of other name labels and apply them randomly within the MSFS ATC to replace use of "generic"?

Pilot2atc is recommended for a good solution.

I forgot to mention Frank by name, so everyone would know I'm bantering with a buddy!  Not a good buddy, just a generic buddy.

I've honestly never had this issue...and I fly with real online traffic set.

It's because the AI is using generic aircraft models. Only way to fix that would to have non-generic models.

Though theoretically If you open the aircraft.cfg file of all the generic aircraft and delete the "$$:Generic" from the atc_type line that might stop the ATC from saying the word.

If you install AI aircrafts or download the mega liveries then you would get many real liveries for AI rather than Generics. 

 

Here is a tool. Install this and install as many liveries for your aircrafts A320, 747, 787
