HiWhen I'm running RC, the AI chatter works great! However, the controller never says the type aircraft for GA planes. When talking to the airliners I hear "United 745, Southwest 91, Skywest 4760 etc..." But when the controllers talk to GA aircraft they only say the call sign and not "Cessna N556TM, Learjet N95MT etc..."I know that the default ATC uses the General section in the aircraft.cfg file so I went throught all my aircraft.cfg files to make sure the aircraft ID's matched with your P4 file. In the sample below, ATC should say "Citation"[General]atc_type=Cessnaatc_model=CE500editable=1performance=Cruise Speed: 358 ktnCeiling: 35,000 ftnI'm I doing something wrong or does RC not say aircraft type when talking to GA aircraft?Thanks,Jeremiah

create a .log on your next flight, and write down some of the november numbers i should be calling the type aircraft as well.then send me the .log and let me see what is going on

Jeremiah,RC recieves the callsign information directly from FSUIPC. The FSUIPC traffic table contains all the AI that is around you and the table also lists the callsigns for those AI, which is then transfered to and used by RC. I think the information in the p4 file is used mainly for traffic calls, where the controllers will tell you about crossing traffic, and the aircraft type in that instance.jd can look at your log, but I think RC has not been programmed to voice the aircraft type for callsigns. After all, under the same principle, we would also have to hear BOEING UNITED 123 unfortunatly.I suspect to differenciate between GA and commercial AI traffic maybe some modification would also have to be done by Pete Dawson via the FSUIPC traffic table. That complicates things further, so a easy programing soloution may not be possible.But jd does take every reasonable question, comment, suggestion from these forums, and time permitting, it will be noted down for future versions.But lets see what the log shows and we can go from there.Subs

after doing some research, i've stumbled on to the reason this happens.controllers in australia, england and the usa all agree that the aircraft type is a valid callsign when making a callbuti can't tell what type of aircraft an ai, through the facilities that are available to me (fsuipc), so that i can call it by the aircraft type.so i fall back to the letters and numbers, which is also valid, just not preferred.if i find a way, i'll make it happen in the futurejd

In Australia it is rare to hear the aircraft type included in the callsign except at uncontrolled airfields where it is a requirement as part of your broadcast. It is far more realistic for the Australian ATC environment to not have aircraft type in the callsign.
