Ewan Douglas 899831 Posted July 18, 2017 at 02:59 PM Posted July 18, 2017 at 02:59 PM So yeah, I had a spam of PMs while crusing along the network with a WOW ICAO code (i.e WOW Air Iceland), claiming that he has exclusive use of any WOW callsign for his random VA .. Correct me if I am wrong but nobody can claim a callsign can they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted July 18, 2017 at 03:18 PM Posted July 18, 2017 at 03:18 PM Correct, first come, first serve. Nobody can reserve callsigns. In case that this happens again, please ask a Supervisor for a [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance. In case that you do not know how to do it, just type ".wallop YOUR-TEXT" into your pilot client, e.g. ".wallop ABC1234 is asking me to surrender my callsign as he claims he is owning it, please [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist me". Do you still have the details of that pilot/callsign/date/time? And maybe a screenshot and/or chatlog? If yes, please send them to me as a private message here, NOT publicly.

Sadly I am on XP and the client for that is a bit clunky with text (i.e it doesn't come up with a window and username like the FS/P3D clients_ have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted July 18, 2017 at 03:35 PM Posted July 18, 2017 at 03:35 PM If you do not remember the callsign, date and time, there is nothing we can do about it now. If it happens again, call a SUP without delay to sort it out, thanks!

You can take chat screenshots in X-plane just fine. If you don't have it, that's another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite true. We're not using WOW as a commercial venture to make profit, or claiming ownership of it. For all intents it's a collection of 3 letters of the alphabet, or a pre-existing word in this case. wow waʊ informal exclamation 1.expressing astonishment or admiration. "‘Wow!’ he cried enthusiastically" noun 2.a sensational success. "your play's a wow" verb 3.impress and excite (someone) greatly. "they wowed audiences on their recent British tour" Trent Hopkinson YMML. www.youtube.com/musicalaviator WorldFlight 2002,2008,2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
