How does ICAO_Airlines works?

[Wills Damasio 810202]

Hi all,

 

I was reviewing all my settings files and fixing them.

 

After editing ICAO_Airlines.txt I notice its information did not appears anywhere, so it cames a question... how does ICAO_Airlines.txt works?

Hi Wills,

 

I never did this myself, and also I am not at home right now to have a look on it, but as far as I remember you must not only edit the file, but also load it once again into Euroscope afterwards - like you would also do with the atistext and so on.

Hi Alex,

 

All setting files are loaded, but I can't see any change in any part of ES. Hope some one can give me some clue how it works.

 

Anyway tks.

You are sure the edited file is the one ES uses? I have edited the file many times, and it is working, but the file is loaded on ES start-up only or manually via the menu (SCT->Load Airlines file).

Hi Todor,

 

Yes it is the right file (double checked in my Profile Startup) and loaded at startup. This files contains information about ICAO CALLSING, Airliner Name, Country and Radio Call, for instance:

 

ICAO CALLSING: BAW

Airliner Name: British Airways

Country: United Kingdom

Radio Callsign: SPEEDBIRD

 

Where, Euroscope, the information about airliners appears to you?

Hi Folks,

 

After some time I was able to find where to find the information about ICAO Airliners.txt.

 

To know the Radio Callsign you must select the aircraft and look at the bottom line. The radio callsign appears between parenthesis such as:

 

VAT1167 (VATBRASIL) where:

 

Callsign: VAT1167

Radio Call: VATBRASIL

 

N.B.: VATBRASIL is Brazilian VA not included in the standard ICAO Airlines.txt.

 

Here is a screenshot where to find the ICAO Airlines.txt information:

 

 

ISSUE SOLVED!!

 

Thanks to all and I hope it can be used by others.

 

Regards.

I didn't understand you couldn't find where it was shown Yes the info about the airline name is in the status bar. The ICAO_Aircraft data is shown on the Electronic Flight Strip, on the bottom. Also the ICAO_Airport are used for displaying the Airport Name, next to the aircraft Information.

Todor,

 

That's it... I saw it but I didn't realise it was it!!! rsrsrs

 

All other settings files are ok... I am reviewing all them.. there are a lot of info, at least in Brazil, that are not updated or are too long to be shown in a small screen (flight strip last line).

 

As soon as these files are reviewes I will make them available at Euroscope Elite Squad site (http://www.euroscope-tropadeelite.com.br).

Ah, now I also understand. Thought you made some updates on the file and still received the old informations. Nethertheless, great that it now works for you.
