    That is weird indeed... would you mind trying with WinRAR ? I'll investigate that

    Is this still required after AT Simulations updated it? What does it do now? Thanks!

    They still didn't adress all the ICAO's , ATC type and unified thumbnails issue. it is up to you, I changed it so it doesn't interfere with the multiplayer now, so there is no drawback having it :)

    Oh, that's good! I guess I didn't understand those issues, I'll install it again! Thanks again!

    I noticed the following. You have the following entries in the aircraft.cfg file:
    atc_type ="TT:ATCCOM.ATC_NAME_FOCKE-WULF.0.text"
    atc_model ="TT:ATCCOM.AC_MODEL_P149.0.text"

    If I take a look e.g. into the msfs original de-DE.locPak, there are no variables like this present.

    IMO it should be:
    atc_type ="TT:ATCCOM.ATC_NAME FOCKE WULF.0.text"
    atc_model ="P1 49"

    MAKE THE ATC PRONOUNCE THE MODEL:
    An entry for "P149" is not present in the language-packs, so we have to put one to it.
    The following example is for german language:
    1. Add an empty file called "de-DE.locPak" to the main folder of your mod and don't forget to call it in your layout.json file.

    2. Add the following entries to the empty de-DE.locPak (this will add the two lines to the original MSFS "de-DE.locPak" file):

    {
    "LocalisationPackage": {
    "Language": "de-DE",
    "Strings": {
    "ATCCOM.AC_MODEL P149.0.text": "P.149",
    "ATCCOM.AC_MODEL P149.0.tts": "P149"
    }
    }
    }

    3. Now you can call up this variable in the aircraft.cfg with the following entry:
    atc_model = "TT:ATCCOM.AC_MODEL P149.0.text"

    DONE:
    Now the model P149 is pronounced and written in radio communication (if MSFS allows it).

    If this is to work for all languages in MSFS, then you have to create points 1 and 2 for all language files. en-US.locPak, fr-FR.locPak, it-IT.locPak etc. etc.

    I have not tested this method as I modified the "de-DE.locPak" directly, but it should work.

    Best wishes from Germany

    thank you very much for this !

    about 5 years ago

    Yeah, I had tried this myself independently and it didn't work. The only way I got it to work was to put them in the main localization files in OneStore\fs-base

    about 5 years ago

    I have now also tested it and it seems that only a direct edit of the corresponding xxx.locPak file works.
    But you have to remember that after each MSFS update the entry must be repeated.

    For whatever reason, I can't get this to work. I followed the instructions, but the data is still missing.

    Hi, when unzipping the folder, do you see the SimObjects folder and the layout.json file ?

    over 5 years ago

    Yeah. Copied both of them to the aircraft folder, replaced the old files with the new and nothing happened. Finally got it to work after copying the cfg files to all 3 folders in the aircraft folder that had a cfg of the correct type.

    Well that's weird, I tried again on a clean install and it worked for me. I'm glad it finally worked out for you !

    thank you very much for this, like many commented, it's really awkward that such small and simple to fix details are simply oversighted by payware developers.
    again, thank you.
