Hi,

Can anyone tell me why the aircraft type comes up as experimental on the atc and how if possible to get round this.

Thanks

Try opening the aircraft cfg. file of the offending aircraft,look under the section [Flight Sim] and find the lines; ui_manufacturer and; ui_type
they should look like this example of a boeing 737,

ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_type=737-300-FFX

if they are blank or incorrect ATC will refer to the aircraft as experimental. Hope this helps. arthurplum

No, it really has nothing to do with the ui_ stuff. The UI stands for User Interface and controls where the aircraft shows up in the list.

What you want to change is a small line under the heading [General] usually located just under the [fltsim.x] entries. Look for atc_type= and change it to whatever you want. Now be sure to note that not just any assignment there will be understood by the program. There is a specific list of types that you can enter here. For more on this, and a list of all the entries you can make, go here:

must have been asleep when I drafted my reply.Ender Baron is spot on with his solution.
   Have included the correct example for the 737 which is found under the [General] section of the aircraft cfg.
      atc_type=Boeing
      atc_model=737
Sorry if I confused you, Arthurplum.

Hi again,

Thanks for the replies, I tried it with my Air France Concorde and it's sorted. Now for the rest...
