ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
All passive aircraft are currently configured in a way they don’t use the dedicated string of the default localization file for their actual aircraft type. Currently all
atc_typeentries seem to be set to"$$:Generic".
This leads to the following situation: whenever the player uses MSFS atc and an aircraft is closeby atc instructs the player to look for a “Generic” aircraft. This information is basically useless as it doesn’t provide any picture about the aircraft size, so also not about the wake turbulence category for separation.
The expected behavior would be to have at least a basic type information to be reported by ATC like mentioning the actual aircraft family without subtypes (e.g. ‘Boeing 737’, ‘Boeing 747’, ‘Embraer E-Jet’, ‘Cessna Skyhawk’, ‘Cessna 150’, ‘Super Hornet’) and on other special occasions just the aircraft category (e.g. ‘Helicopter’, ‘Glider’, ‘Ultralight’, ‘Balloon’, ‘Experimental Aircraft’, ‘Air Taxi’) as the specific subtype (like ‘Boeing 737-800’, ‘Bell 407’ or ‘Discus 2c’) usually doesn’t really matter.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
All passive aircraft.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
