Brief description of the issue:

ATC type and model are missing on atc interaction, leading to nothing being spoken but the registration on VFR flights/traffic reporting to passive traffic.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

1. Start any VFR flight using the Beechcraft D17S Staggerwing, **DON’T use a custom callsign, just add some aircraft registration)
2. Call ATC to request flight following and notice that the “type” is missing entirely (blank space in transcript "type, " instead of “type Staggerwing 17”, )
3. Notice that in general just the registration of the aircraft is spoken without any model information (e.g. “N123MS” instead of “Staggerwing N123MS”).

Solution for Carenado to fix the issue:

The missing information is part of the default MSFS atc database. However it’s called differently on MSFS than on P3D or FSX.

The correct entry for atc_type is inside of ATCCOM.AC_MODEL BE17.0.tts, the correct model is either inside of ATCCOM.ATC_NAME STAGGERWING.0.tts.

The correct lines to be defined in aircraft.cfg will be:

atc_type=“TT:ATCCOM.ATC_NAME STAGGERWING.0.text”
atc_model=“TT:ATCCOM.AC_MODEL BE17.0.text”

NOTICE that .tts must be changed to .text and TT: has to be added in front of the actual called database entry!

This would lead to atc calling the aircraft “Staggerwing 17” and “Staggerwing N123MS” if no callsign was added.
