Is there any way of removing these 'nicknames' ?

[secretcode]

Hello guys. I just wanted to know if there is a way of removing the callsigns when entering a server?

 

Is there any file I need to modify ?

I know this is a really old thread but lately it has become an issue for me.  My nickname list if full of typos and the nicknames.lua file, although still there, has none of the typos stored in it so DCS must store these nicknames somewhere else now.  Any ideas where? I am on Open Beta.

Same Folder, Logbook.lua, I'd have to Doublecheck

Thank for the reply but as I said above, that file is still in the same place it just doesn't contain the full list of nicknames that appear in the dropdown list in the MP selection screen so I think stuff must have moved on in 3 years, I just don't know where to.

Edit, I deleted the nicknames.lua file but the list of nicknames with the typos still appears in game so that file has nothing to do with it now.

This thread is old, but for future reference:

\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\MissionEditor\nicknames

and

\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\nicknames

I don't have this issue, but could it be encoding related?

Do those nicknames contain non-english characters?

this helped me. thank you!

for those who want to remove the old nicknames, simply edit the nickname.lua file under \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config.
