User aircraft I.D. on in-flight map view

[Ken Hall]

Happy New Year, Alex.

Running: W10, P3Dv5.3+, LNM 32-bit v3.0.12, AIRAC 24/13.

On start-up and loading LNM flight plan I can see my aircraft I.D. as Skyways/1142 + Actual Alt + Alt above ground.

However, the underlined detail, for some unknown reason, will change quite randomly to some other ID as in today's flight chganging to 'Hansaline/9999'.

I have tried all sorts of alterations within various settings wihout removing this 'annoying' random change!

As an experiment toiday I went to Tools/Options/User A/c and ticked all available boxes - applied the changes and was able to see on the map, my aircraft with every 'ticked' box visible but with the incorrect ID 'Hansaline/9999'.

I have no idea where this incorrecrt detail is coming from. The aircraft.cfg is shown below with items I really want to see in bold text:

[fltsim.0]
title=Fly UK A321-231 IAE Crystal G-FLIB
sim=AirbusA321-IAE-ProjectAirbus
model=IAE
panel=
sound=IAE
texture=flyuk_Crystal_v1.0
kb_checklists=AirbusA321_check
kb_reference=AirbusA321_ref
atc_id=G-FLIB
atc_airline=SKYWAYS
//atc_heavy=0
atc_flight_number=1142
atc_parking_types=GATE,RAMP
atc_parking_codes=UKV
ui_manufacturer=Fly UK
ui_type=A321 Crystal
ui_variation=Fly UK VA
ui_typerole=Commercial Airliner
ui_createdby=Fly UK
visual_damage=1

The only possibility I can think of is that within my Sim I also run UT2 which I have used since its inception and there is possibly a 'Hansaline' entry although I have not checked. That said, I have also had incorrect airlines shown as Emirates; BA, KLM and others.

The same/similar issue arises irrespective of which aircraft is being flown so is not only the one detialed above.

Can you offer any solution(s) to correct this anomaly?

Very strange indeed!

No idea what's going on there.

Does this happen also with UT2 disabled?
Do you have any other flight network connection open like IVAO or VATSIM while this happens?

Good morning, Alex...

Disabled UT2 and the 'problem' appeared to be rectified.

However, the skies were like a desert and looked a very lonely place 😪

I have reinstated UT2 and will run LNM with the user a/c displaying the type and xpdr number - that works every time.

Thanks for your input.

Fully understand this is boring and lonely 🙂 but it helps me to narrow down the issue. Looks more that UT is the problem.

The aircraft display is quite stable for P3D and FSX for ages already where I even don't have to dig into aircraft files to find the information unlike MSFS 2020 and X-Plane.

Anyway, glad you found a workaround.
