Klaus Schmitzer 0 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (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 by Klaus Schmitzer Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Carlson 171 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 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 post Share on other sites
Trevor Hannant 35 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I believe they use the normal ICAO code (B737, B738). Trevor Hannant Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Carlson 171 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 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 167 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 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. Cheers, -R. Link to post Share on other sites
