connolly44 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Hello When using the radio and asking for Class D airspace transition, how does one get the aircraft type "B787 Dreamliner" included in the transmission. All I get is aircraft type "Boeing" ? I am guessing the I have to place some sort of line/reference in the aircraft.cfg file ?

mrzippy Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 In your aircraft.cfg what do you have under [General]? That will be the first thing to look at. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmhariano Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Yes: look at the [GENERAL] section, there should be a line for atc_model=. It should say B787. Now; when FS9 was released, the 787 wasn't even an idea (the project was called 7E7 back then). Maybe you have to add this model via EditVoicepack.

mrzippy Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I just did a quick download of a FS2004 787-9 and the [General] section looks like this [General] atc_type=BOEING atc_model=B787 I'm fairly sure that ATC, even with EditVoicepack installed, will give you just Boeing. I would try something like: [General] atc_type=BOEING atc_model=B789 or 7E7 Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connolly44 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Hello folks I have the following under [General] [General] atc_type=BOEING atc_model=B787 editable=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connolly44 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Have just treid both B789 and B7E7 to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Have just treid both B789 and B7E7 to no avail. What 787 are you using? Is it freeware? link or file name? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 This one b7e7ling.zip I'll give it a try tomorrow morning. I'm starting to think that a 787 is new enough that FS2004 and even FSX may fail to recognize it. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

tiger1962 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 There's an EditVoicePack callsign for the 787 by Lars Moellebjerg over at AVSIM, but I'm not sure that it will recognise the "atc_model=B787" entry in the aircraft.cfg.

mrzippy Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 No go so far! You may be stuck with just BOEING as the identifier. Will try a couple of other things later today, but I am not hopeful using stock ATC with freeware Editvoicepack. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!
