Airline tag item

[Michael Zazula]

Hello,

 

How does the "airline" tag item works exactly?

In the Wiki, I've found:

Airline name - This item displays the airline name according to the ICAO_Aircraft datafile.

(BTW, I think it's a typo, should be ICAO_Airlines)

 

I've expected that it will show the airline full airline name in plain text, decoded from the ICAO_Airlines.txt, but all I see is 3-letter code (the same as 3 first letters of the callsign, so not really usefull). Is something wrong, or should it work that way?

 

I have the ICAO_Airlines.txt loaded and the callsign is decoded on the bottom bar.

 

 

Best regards,

Zulus

It does look like a small error in the wiki. My understanding is that the item shows the first 3 letters of the call sign if they are in the ICAO_airlines file, otherwise "???".

OK, that's what I've supposed.

However it would be nice to have it decoded. It's already decoded in the bottom bar, so should be not a big problem for ES. Just a suggestion for the future development...

Didn't you just say you wanted it decoded, and that it is already decoded? I'm confused now

It's dedoded on the bottom bar.

It's not decoded (presented as 3 letter code) as an airline tag item (which could be used on a list).

I would love to have it decoded in both places

As for now the Airline item is showing only the 3 letter ICAO code. I'll add it in the list, but you should know, that may make your tag very big as some ICAO Airline's call-signs are long.
