Call sign question

[cdn-flyer]

Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. I'll use simbrief to create a flightplan and in that plan use the airline code WJA for "WestJet". In MSFS under ATC Options, I will fill in the call sign as "westjet". This results in ATC using the call sign of "WestJet WJA xxx" where xxx is the flight number. If I don't specify a call sign in ATC Options, the result is ATC using the call sign of "FBWSIM WJA xxx". My guess is the WJA is being picked up from the flight plan created in simbrief, but no idea where the fbwsim comes from when the call sign is blank.

So, I'm not sure if this is a MSFS bug, or simbrief bug, or a FBWsim bug. Any ideas?

Thanks to the community for the awesome add-on. This game would be so dull without the great work you guys are all doing.

Found the answer in the MSFS forums. Searched earlier and didn't see this, but here's what fixed it.

In the community mod folder there is an aircraft.cfg file. Within that file, there is a field called "atc_airline" which can be set to some value or blank. If it is blank, it seems to use whatever value was specified in the atc options menu from the GUI. If there is something there, it seems to use that in combination with the flight plan. I found "fbwsim" as the atc_airline value in one aircraft.cfg file. Set it to blank and now it will use whatever is in the atc options menu.
