icao_generic = 1 allows you to use one single aircraft for all flights. You don’t need multiple models with different ICAO codes to cover the sky.
The downside is that the game tends to override correct ICAO matches with an icao_generic aircraft. If you have a correct match for a departing B77W the game could still spawn an icao_generic A320 instead of your B77W. That’s why i dropped the generic aircraft.

I deleted all the original Fltsim lines that were in the B738 folder except the example for now.
Is this how the lines should look?
I also just kept the CRJ model.cfg from the original Aerosoft CRJ in the IVAO model folder instead of all the bin, xml files etc.
I thank you for your detailed instructions but I think I am going to hold off doing all of that. I am going to take out the IVAO model package because those planes are just teasing me sitting at the gates and never moving.
I am going to settle with the megapacks and downloadable models but how can I get all of those models to show up as moving traffic. I can only seem to get A320’s moving and not the megapack 747’s, 787’s, ATR’s, DH8, and A321’s. Furthermore I have downloaded the A330 but only see the default livery and not the livery pack that I downloaded for it. It’s so frustrating using AI for me so I am leaving it to the experts and hope and pray we get AIG installer. Those people using P3D are so spoiled right now.
Remember, you have to do hard work to make it happen. Instuctions is easy… pretty easy to follow. Support from this point only in my discord server: https://discord.gg/QFC3mJRFCh
First, live traffic is a mess right now, which is part of the problem. Second, I use https://www.lekseecon.nl/ (PSXseeconTraffic ) + RealTraffic to get live traffic and model and livery matching. But more involved than C0rsten mod.
Hi Kevnich,
Your flightsim.1 is missing icao_airline=“CRJ7". And btw those CRJ700 American Eage planes use different icao code, they use like 7 different ones (SKW, etc).
For it to show correctly in PSX + Livetraffic. In your aircraft.cfg below flightsim.01 etc you need per [flightsim] the next
Add those 3;
Title: " American Airlines CRJ700"
icao_airline=“AAL”
icao_type_designator =“CRJ7”
Those 3 in every flightsim.01,02,03 etc for it to be reconised by PSXeecon
Tip: Download all free FSX planes you can find, convert to FS2020 with MFSF Legacy converter. I have 717 to 789 as working planes with all correct liveries. (I even converted my old PMDG 777, only the gear is not working with PMDG).
I once buyed some AI traffic programs for FSX, and converted those. Even got working gear and lights. Good luck. Its a hell of a job converting and adding the codes to .cfg.
Yes American Eagle has several icao codes. The ASH is one of them. I could try SKW or EGF..but it should show with ASH?
As for the lines in fltsim, the icao airline and the title are cut and paste directly from Aerosoft CRJ-700 aircraft.cfg. The mod file and textures have the same title. Not sure how changing them affects whether they show in sim?
The icao_designator usually only goes in the [general] tab? I have not seen that you need designator in each [fltsim]? I have Southwest showing in IVAO Southwest showing in sim and there is no designator in [fltsim]. Here is my IVAO Southwest:
I just did a test, adding icao_type_designator=“B738” to general only works aswell. I saw in your screenshot that its showing a Southwest at the parking spot, so thats working correctly right?
As for the CRJ, did you check the aircraft.cfg has the
Title: " American Airlines CRJ700"
icao_airline=“AAL”
icao_type_designator =“CRJ7” at [General]
Haven’t figured out yet if you can use more than 1 icao_aarline, i guess it should work correctly more as one.
Yes…Southwest is working correctly. It was not working correctly with PSX until I modified the IVAO as posted. I also modified IVAO for United and American and now can see 737 Southwest, United and American all at one airport.
The CRJ doesn’t have the title or AAL icao because the AAL is for the big birds Are you thinking they are not showing because I am using their correct icaos? If you check parking updates in PSX it shows the correct icaos (i.e. EGF, ASH, SKW etc) so I assume i have to use these icaos instead of AAL for them to assign to correct parking space and show in sim. Problem is I an not seeing them as live traffic either.
In the last KSEA screenshot I posted, it has Horizon Air (QXE) as a Cessna. Not sure why it is showing as a Cessna.
Just pulled one parking position. There is even an AAL for CR9 That’s odd the lines won’t show when I reply.
