Gregory Coates 1123044 Posted November 3, 2009 at 12:24 PM Posted November 3, 2009 at 12:24 PM I am new to VATSIM and am using Vista FSX and FSInn and Copilot My callsign is displayed on the FSINN control panel but is greyed out so I cannot alter it. When I transmit on Unicom (no ATC online today) I come up as 'Local'. Why am I showing as a local flight when I have filed an IFR flight plan and why does my callsign not display? I have tried searching the forums etc to no avail. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted November 3, 2009 at 03:40 PM Posted November 3, 2009 at 03:40 PM local as it implies = you. thats so you dont get confused. the callsign, click on it, itll let you change it. itll also store previous used ones so once you click it itll show the list of previous ones. make sure to read that manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also consider it almost imperative that you look at the list of questions in the FSInn/VATSIM FAQ (you can find it VIA the please read sticky in the FSInn Help forum). It has a specific section that describes how to best use the Callsign Feature that initially confuses a lot of people. While you can enter your callsign in three places, it'd be better if you only enter it in one place. The greyed out component you see is that way because you can't change it while you're connected to VATSIM. You'd have to disconnect momentarily, change it, then reconnect with the new callsign. -- L.
