#T39 FLIGHTCHECK CALLSIGN WAXY CODE#
With the twinkle of a thought, I called up the communications menu, selected the digital transponder, and ordered transmission of the preselected code I had received. Looks like the folks I was supposed to meet are just as edgy as I am. Someone was painting Angelfire with radar, causing the copter’s sensor warning receiver to scream its head off. The damage wasn’t serious by any stretch, but it made turning and maneuvers a little balky.Īll of a sudden warning klaxons blazed in my ear as a spray of crimson washed over my sight. While I was leaving the Tacoma docks on this trip, a Yakuza gang hit the people I was picking up from, and Angelfire took a hit in the tail rotor. Angelfire’s vehicle rig was warning that the tail rotor was acting improperly, but I already knew that. The tailings in the quarry contained a lot of iron that messed up radar, which combined with the rolling hills in the surroundings, made for a perfect hiding place for t-bird smugglers running from Athabaska to Denver.Īs I turned to swing around a rock outcropping, I felt a simsense-induced stiffness in my lower leg.
Smuggler’s Valley used to be a quarry back when this was still part of the old United States, but it closed shop before the area became tribal land. I was flying there to deliver a package to some t-bird smugglers en route to Denver. My flight destination was Smuggler’s Valley, a valley nestled in these hills, seated just beyond the Seattle Metroplex in Salish lands, near the town of Tenino. My flight path was just skirting the border between Fort Lewis and the Salish council lands, so it would be a good idea for me to keep my head down. The Hughes WK-2 Stallion helicopter dipped gracefully in descent, hugging the crest line closely to minimize the radar signature. It’s hard to do that if you can read profane or offensive stuff on other peoples’ planes.The fiery orange rays of the setting sun seared through the horizon’s ash-gray clouds as I guided Angelfire over the last set of hills. Now when it comes to tail numbers, I suspect they blank them out for that very reason though - to keep the game G-rated. I’ve put some pretty messed up, profane ■■■■ as my call sign just for laughs back when the sim first launched, and if it was an actual word, every single time ATC has said it while communicating with me, no matter how profane it was." When a plane uses one of the generic models without an actual airline name and flight number, which make up a large number of the models we see for AI traffic, the plane gets called “Generic” + last 3 characters of the tail number.Īnd secondly, the author of that article is wrong.
When referring to a plane without a proper call sign, It would normally say the model of the plane + the last 3 characters of the tail number, like “TBM 1 Tango Bravo” or “Cessna 1 Mike Charlie” for traffic that uses an actual “known” plane model. You hear “generic” when AI traffic doesn’t have an actual airline call sign + flight number (like American 345, United 452, Lufthansa 649) and said traffic is using a generic plane model.
Other real life players “don’t exist” in your instance of the game other than visually. 100% of the ATC chatter you hear is either directed at you, or other AI / RTO planes. You don’t hear ANY ATC comms from other live players. First, you don’t hear “generic” because of other peoples’ profane call signs.You may have misinterpreted what that article is saying, and the author of that article is 100% wrong. This should be known to players on here and I found a good thread on this on the Official Forum.
