Unidentified Aircraft

[David Hinson]

I am attempting to reduce the number of default aircraft I see at airports. I know there are several reasons for this:

1) Crazy callsigns

2) Unknown Type Code or Airline Code in aircraft.cfg.

 

Is there anything else that could cause this problem ?

 

Can I get a copy of "allowed" Type Codes and Airline Codes that vPilot will recognize ? I have seen examples of (particularly) OK Airline Codes (3 letters) that seem to cause a problem:

Example : WoA_FM_Bae146-100 has OK Type code (BA46) and Airline Code of "CNO" and is unidentified, while -200 and -300 models have same Type Code as -100 and Airline Codes of "DAT", and are identified.

 

Is it OK to simply change the Airline Code in aircraft.cfg to an allowed one ?

 

Thanks for this great program. I love it.

Those airline codes are in the database, but BA46 is not in the database as a type code. It is supposed to be B461, B462, etc.

Thanks, Ross. I changed the BAE146-100 Aircraft Code to B461 and it worked.

 

As to my second question, if I have a problem with the codes being something funny or , can I change them to a (legimate) code that works ?

Didn't you just answer your own question?

 

Yes, you can edit the aircraft.cfg files to put in accurate values for type code or airline code.
