FLIGHT NUMBERS/CALLSIGNS/AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION
After you have selected your aircraft you need to select your ATC Name. Click on the ATC Name button. Make sure that the "airline call sign' box reads "-None' and the 'flight number' box reads '0' or is blank. Then enter your ATC Name in the tail number box (Up to 8 Charcters). You can either use your air craft registration eg 'TJL' or your airline/military abbreviation followed by your flight number. eg NEW323. Which will be announced as 'New Zealand 323'

So can we not do what we used to do i.e using the callsign box?
. Many people are struggling to get that correct, so we have simplified it somewhat. This method has been used with some success in some overseas servers such as FS-MP.
