I have a quick question that’s related to the ATC callsign change. Is there a dataref for the airline selected in the flightplan box? I am trying to assign airlines to ai traffic and I noticed the relevant fields in the Plane Editor. Is there an easier way of doing it rather than using the dataref? How does X-plane know what airline you have selected when filing a flight plan? Where is this information stored in memory? Is it accessible and assignable to an ai aircraft? I would like ATC to refer to an ai aircraft by it’s airline name rather than random Alphanumerics or the aircraft type (which I have already figured out how to do). But I can’t find any info on how to do it in the dev docs.

Thanks!

Dazzy.

Just what i thought flying the c172 over southern Florida when i spotted an aircraft carrier in the water below. Nothing unusual about that … except

Said aircraft carrier was steaming across Lake Ocheechobee which surprised me when i noticed 2 things
1. it’s landlocked being approximately 33 miles from the ocean
2. It’s only 12 feet deep

I am forced to conclude that at least one LR developer is a jedi master who is using to force the move massive loads cross country and levitating them so they do not run aground .

Is Yoda a LR employee working from Dagobah?

Student makes a small crater in a hillside.

Obi-Wan: “…or you forget the feelings and trust your instruments.”
