Hi, I just up dated my XCLS folder and converted the files with CSL2XSB.py.  Assuming that most of the users are also using this base I was wondering which B737 I should select in the flight plan to make sure that the others see me as B737 from Malaysian Airways.

Could you please let me know which type of B737 (B737,B734,B735,B736,B737;B738...) I should enter in the flight plan to make sure that the others see me as MAS B737.
Thanks so much!!

Hi, this is posted in the wrong category, I will move it as a support topic.

To answer your question, what others see you as is based on THEIR CSL, not yours. It's a combination of your aircraft type and your callsign. But it's up to them, not you. 🙂

Keep in mind, "B737" is not a general way of saying a Boeing 737. "B737" is the ICAO identifier for a Boeing 737-700 aircraft. It takes the first two numbers in "737" (i.e. 73), and then the first digit in the variant type. That means that B737 actually means "Boeing 737-700". In the same manner, a B733 is a Boeing 737-300 aircraft. 🙂

Hope that cleared something up!
