Removing "Experimental" from the Otter's callsign.
Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2019 10:55 pm
How do I remove "Experimental" from the Otter's radio callsigns?
With other aircraft, I have been able to edit the atc_id= entry in the aircraft.cfg (also the atc_airline and atc_flight_number entries), in order to make the radio calls match the aircraft's livery.
I attempted to modify the entries for the various Otters (Base, Amphib, Ski, Floats), but with the exception of a couple, the radio continues to say "Experimental".
For instance, I set the RCAF Otter variants to:
atc_airline=Air Force
atc_flight_number=685 (number on the plane)
atc_id=SAR (unchanged from original)
The resulting radios calls for the RCAF Amphibian and Ski versions are the desired "Air Force Six Eight Five".
Unfortunately, the Base version still gets called "Experimental Sierra Alpha Romeo".
The "Air Force" also works for the RNoAF Ski and Float versions, but its Base version won't change from "Experimental".
All of the other Otter liveries and variants are referred to as "Experimental" plus the atc_id number, regardless of atc_airline or flight number entries.
