How to change Tankers and AWACS callsigns?

[strikers_blade]

Been looking around for an answer but beside DCS setcallsign function (https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_command_setCallsign) , I did not find anything else in DCS, MIST or MOOSE.

 

So straight to the point. I have several tankers in the air or on the ground and I would like them to have their own callsign instead of sharing the same "Texaco", "Arco" and "shell" several times each. I tried the Setcallsign in the perform command script of the ME but it doesn't seem to work.

 

Code available;

 

SetCallsign = {

id = 'SetCallsign',

params = {

callname = number,

number = number,

}

}

 

If I use that, only Texaco, Arco and Shell are available (according to Hoggit).

 

Question: How can the tanker callsign get more options?

Great question … I too would love to see a solution for that problem.

For some reason or another it was changed so that its just "Arco" instead of "Arco 1" for example. I'll investigate it.

Having numeric designation would be extremely helpful indeed considering how many tankers there are these days. :thumbup:
