Klaus Schmitzer Posted August 16, 2020 at 07:47 PM Posted August 16, 2020 at 07:47 PM (edited) Hello! As PMDG released the Cargo expansion for the NGXu I wondered if we will be able to select the 737-800 BCF (Boeing converted freighter) in the VPilot client so that others see us as 737 freighter? Thank you! Edited August 16, 2020 at 07:47 PM by Klaus Schmitzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted August 16, 2020 at 09:33 PM Posted August 16, 2020 at 09:33 PM Does it have a new type code or is it still B738? Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Hannant Posted August 16, 2020 at 10:12 PM Posted August 16, 2020 at 10:12 PM I believe they use the normal ICAO code (B737, B738). Trevor Hannant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted August 16, 2020 at 10:56 PM Posted August 16, 2020 at 10:56 PM Then there's no way to convey the freighter variant to other users on VATSIM. There unfortunately is no standardized/official way of conveying variant information over the network.

Robert Shearman Jr Posted August 17, 2020 at 11:10 PM Posted August 17, 2020 at 11:10 PM If you combine that with the callsign of a known freight carrier, there's an improved chance that other players' model matching will show you as that.
