Aircraft type not recognized when trying to Connect

I just purchased the X-Crafts E145LR/XR airplanes. When I have one of them chosen to fly and I go to connect, Swift doesn't recognized the plane, the type etc. So I go through the process of filling out all the info and click the swift button to upload this for future uses and for I believe others to have their SWIFT client download so they can use the profile, but it never is saved. I am therefore always needing to fill in the Aircraft type, Airline etc. Any help on the process to create a profile for these planes?

 

Thank you,

Hi David,

 

I think the source of the issue is the fact that manufacturer of the addon product has used a non-standard abbreviation/code for this type, causing swift trouble reading it out correctly. But I may be wrong and it is something completely different.

 

Can you take a screenshot of the connect dialogue before you connect? This way we can see how swift recognizes (or not) your Embraer 145.

The system must have properly saved my information pertaining to the x-crafts 145. When i go and connect using it, it recognizes all of the needed info I did save and upload. So i am all set with this problem. Thank you.
