XCLTM3 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 When viewing in FTX tower with the "Session Info" box open, you see the 3 letter prefix of the airline followed by the actual flight number. My question is this: Where is the session info box sourcing the 3 letter airline prefix from? Is it somehwere in the aircraft cfg file or somewhere else? Appreciate some assistance on this. PS: What I am trying to do, is to alter the prefixes displayed in the session info box to proper identifiers eg QAN to QFA, VIR to VOZ, etc etc. Rgds, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Eccleston Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 That Tower Info panel is the FSX default one using the radar panel from the FSX Default Control Tower. The 3 letter prefix before the flight number is the first 3 letters from the 'Airline' field in the aircraft config file. If you change this, ATC will not be able to recognise the airline name for communications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
