"Radio Call" text on the main panel is it based on your registration set in the aircraft cfg or is it a texture file?

It is displayed by whatever is entered in the aircraft.cfg file.

It is not changing from N350K for all my paints
is it grabbing the atc_id line? I have the right registration set

It is reading the atc_id= line but they are all set the same. So you need to edit the aircraft.cfg to get it right or wait for the upcoming update. Do not use "-" as this will be spoken as dash.

My other paints have the right registration and still N350K shows up as "radio call" on each repaint's cockpit texture!

Read my note carefully and edit the aircraft.cfg with notepad.

I have read your note Carefully ... this still does not change the Radio call Registration

Maybe it's time to have a another look at this? or maybe you can share a screenshot of this working?

If the Radio Call is not being displayed, then you have an older version of the internal model. This is what it should look like:

I have a clean install of the hotfix installer linked viewtopic.php?f=105&t=11394

I would like the newest version if that can be made available!

Thanks Bill,

It indeed looks like a lot of us are not on the most update model / Install of the King Air as I was also missing the fix for the Hobbs.

I look forward to seeing if we're all a version or 2 behind :)

Same here. I could fix ATC ID in the radio unit but not in the placard above it.
The only official HF I can find is from Dec. 23.

We have a few more things to fix before we release a new installer.
