"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!

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

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.
