resolved Tanker DL16 Callsign discrepancy/omission

[Tusky]

Hi all!

While creating a mission, I noticed that there's a discrepancy or omission between the tanker's callsign assigned in the Mission Editor and the one displayed in the SA page when EPLRS is activated in the tankers.

When a KC-135 is involved:
- Arco X-X      >>> Texaco 1-1 (TX11)
- Shell X-X      >>> Texaco 1-1 (TX11)
- Texaco X-X  >>> Enfield 1-1 (ED11)

When a KC-135MPRS is involved, no callsign is displayed.

In the missions run from the attached files I used for testing, all tankers are shown as "donors" in the SA page.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thank you!

Ok, I figured it out: in the AIRCRAFT ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES tab, the "Voice Callsign Label" and "Voice Callsign Number" should be manually set to match the flight's callsign.

What I've noticed though is that sometimes the two Voice Callsign fields do match the callsign correctly (e.g. -2 and on) whereas sometimes they don't (most of the time, the leader). In the mission I am working on, the E-2D had it wrong (a default TO11) but the E-3A had it correct (Magic 1-1 > MC11).

Shouldn't there be a consistency thoughout the units?

Have you changed the callsign for those units?  Currently the info in that tab defaults to whatever the Callsign is when you place the unit and don't update when you change it.  Would that make sense to what you're seeing?  Definitely a pain.

Yes, I changed the callsign after placing the unit...

Thank you for the heads-up!
