AI Traffic Call Incorrect Callsign

Featured Replies

Hi,Last night when an AI aircraft came too close I received the usual traffic call, then the controller contacted the AI aircraft to alert him to my presence. The controller addressed the AI aircraft as "Sierra 1793". It was only because I had Peter Dowson's Trafficlook open at the time that I realised the aircraft was actually "Speed Bird 1793" (British Airways).I assume that for some reason "Speed Bird" is not recognised by the traffic call code, and "Sierra" is used as a compromise. Other airlines' callsigns are OK (e.g. United) during traffic calls.RC does use "Speed Bird" correctly both as the callsign of the user's aircraft, and also in generated chatter.This was with RC 3.01, by the way.Ian
