July 15, 2025Jul 15 Hello I been using WAMA to track and place my aircraft in P3Dv4.5 for quite a while and wouldn't fly without it! I have several planes of the same type, but with different liveries, at several airports. When I view the airport in Little Navmap it shows all of my planes by type but shows MyAc for the name. Is there a way to show the livery instead of MyAc? Is this a function of WAMA or LNM? Thank you for a great program Ed

Thank you for a great program Ed WAMA is setting "MyAc" as the "tail number" of the aircraft when it creates the simobject. At least that's what the field is called in SimConnect, but it could also show up as the call sign I guess. The app doesn't have much choice, the string must be supplied, but its length is limited to 12 characters. So it had to be a really short name. Edited July 15, 2025Jul 15 by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI

Ed Only with a massive program change. Currently the information is not even read from the aircraft.cfg, and it would have to be bolted on everywhere (potentially invalidating your current database, so you have to start from scratch. Not sure). Couldn't LNM display the "title" of the object instead of call sign or tail number? That's the unique identifier of a sim object. Edited July 15, 2025Jul 15 by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI
July 16, 2025Jul 16 Author It's a small thing and certainly not worth a major overhaul of WAMA. I have no idea how LNM handles that information but if I can't figure out a better way to track my planes without opening Google Earth I may look into that. Thank you for looking into my request. WAMA is a great product! Take care Ed

WAMA is a great product! Take care Ed Please send me an email with your proof of purchase to the support address (it is on the last page of the WAMA manual PDF). I tried to grab the ATC-ID from the sim and when the parked aircraft is created, this is used as the tail number field. They should be the same. But - this will only appear for newly saved position, not for the existing ones (those you could update in the database XML file manually if you really wanted to). But I am not prepared to release a new version of WAMA just yet, so it would be up to you to test it - if you want. LORBY-SI
