Callsign not recognized on controller change

Featured Replies

Hi,

I am running 2.7 beta 6C. I am having the copilot auto respond to ATC.

whenever a call starts with the controller name, like "tower..." or "center..." , the program tells me that I did not use a valid callsign. All other calls work fine.

This happened when I requested take off via the menus and on every other call the copilot initiated after a hand off.

For takeoff, I then tried the midfield request, which didn't start with tower, and it worked.

Surprisingly, the log doesn't seem to show this. I didn't take a screenshot because I figured the log would show this happening.

I am guessing this is related to the handoff problem that was happening on 6B, which is fixed.

Hi Dave 

Not sure if this is the same thing but on initial connection my call sign is wrong as in it says something like EZY28342 rather than Easy 28342, to correct this I just re save the callsign in the config menu and it changes to the correct EASY callsign. I only noticed it when the clearance controller called EZY 28342 rather than EASY. Its not a major problem , just thought I`d mention it in regards to original post . Sorry I cant remember which beta it started with.
