Tail Numbers instead of callsings

[Guest Air Merlin]

Hi, after playing around with FSX for nearly two weeks and getting very angry about what microsoft promised and what they finally issued, I decided to return to FS9 and fly with all the addons which I posses and which worked very well.But what a great disaster: Radar Contact will not act properly. All flight long from EDDK to LBSF all controllers and chatter pilots read the tail numbers of the AI aircrafts instead of the callsigns. I did about 10 different flights to different destinations - always the same - tail numbers instead of callsigns. Only my own callsign (Air Merlin) was read corretly by everyone.I checked all the files in winwood - every file is okay and all the callsings are in it.So what happend? What mistake did I make? Is there some help, because I need a success to get rid of my frust.Hoping . . .EDDI - EDDT - EDDBMike

Mike,I'm pretty certain this is caused by an incorrect setting in FSUIPC. I don't have it open at present but I think you can make a change on one of the tabs which ensures RC enunciates the correct call sign.Cheers,

What RC version are you running?

I decided to return to FS9 and fly with all the addons which I posses Would one of your add-ons be FSHotFX by any chance? If so, there is a known incompatibility with Radar Contact caused (as Ray pointed out) by a change made to the FSUIPC.ini by FSHotFX.Have a look at this FAQ which explains both the cause and what change to make to the FSUIPC.ini file to solve the problem: http://www.jdtllc.com/faq.htm#51Pete

Wow,are you good men!3 answers in that short time and no.1 solved the problem.I can't tell you why I made any changes in the fsuipc/tab "miscellaneous", but that it was. Under "set TCAS id string from: "I had "tail" instead of "flight"many, many thanks to allEDDI - EDDT - EDDBmike

Glad to hear you're sorted Mike. That's the field that FSHotFX changes so Pete was on the right lines as well.Cheers,
