I want to use specific call signs in my FS9 flights. How can I get ATC and my radio calls to use the call sign CZAR 01 during flight operations. I know I can get ATC to address me as Air Force or Navy and then the flight number. How do I customize it?
Okay, lets take it from the top.
First, there are the entries for each aircraft. Here are mine from the AlphaSim Blackshark:
atc_airline=ISRAELI
atc_flight_number=923
The ATC recognizes me as Israeli 923. The atc_airline entry has to be created with EditVoicePack as a callsign. There are standard callsigns with FS9 you can use such as 'Air Force', 'Navy', etc. (without the quote marks).
FengZ is correct on answering your specific need. You can set the atc_flight_number=CZAR01, but the ATC will read it back phonetically as
Charlie-Zulu-Alpha-Romeo-Zero-One or something like that. If you want it to say "
CZAR" as one callsign, then you have to use EditVoicePack.
Second, you can also use EditVoicePack to create custom aircraft manufacturers and models. These are changed under the [general] section as follows:
[General]
atc_type=Kamov
atc_model=Ka50
Where this comes in handy is if you don't use an ATC_Airline= entry, then the ATC will read the atc_type instead. In other words you will be recognized as
Kamov 923.
