• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

ATC vocalizations saying KBDU instead of Boulder

I'm hitting my head against the wall here.

Any calls to CTAF/UNICOM phonetically say "KBDU" in the beginning instead of simply "Boulder" or "Boulder Traffic."

The only place I've seen to adjust frequencies (which I had assumed was the correct place to change this) was in the objects.xml file. Here's what I've got:

<Com frequency="122.725000" type="CTAF" name="Boulder"/>
<Com frequency="118.825000" type="AWOS" name="KBDU"/>

Does anyone know what I'm missing here?
 
<Com frequency="122.725000" type="CTAF" name="KBDU"/>

and if that doesn't work, I'd try

<Com frequency="122.725000" type="CTAF" name="Kaybeedeeoux"/>
 
<Com frequency="122.725000" type="CTAF" name="KBDU"/>

and if that doesn't work, I'd try

<Com frequency="122.725000" type="CTAF" name="Kaybeedeeoux"/>

Thanks RK - I'm trying to have CTAF actually say "Boulder" at the moment (which I have the 'name' field as above), but they're saying KBDU instead.

Are you saying that if I put the actual ICAO in there that it'll know to say Boulder? (I may have had it setup like that originally, but cannot remember now).
 
Here's what I'm trying at the moment while troubleshooting:

<Com frequency="122.725000" type="CTAF" name="Boulder"/>
<Com frequency="118.825000" type="AWOS" name="Boulder AWOS"/>

Com is still saying "KBDU" instead of "Boulder" or "Boulder Traffic". I tried putting KBDU into the CTAF field and same thing. Not sure how else to troubleshoot this one.

Any ideas?
 
Have you disabled Frequencies under the deleteCommand in Airport-"Properties?
 
Have you disabled Frequencies under the deleteCommand in Airport-"Properties?

I did - my understanding was that cleared all hard-baked default frequencies, and the section below it is where you enter your custom ones (is that incorrect?).

Here's my current setup that still spells out "KBDU" when talking to CTAF instead of saying "Boulder" or "Boulder Traffic":

One last bump for this one as, with further research, I've yet to find a solution :(

I don't know if there is a way to modify what ATC says using the SDK. With FSX, I used a program called EditVoicePack but it does not work with MSFS. Sadly, there may not be a way to modify these parameters anymore.

IF there is a way to modify what ATC says using the SDK or any other program I certainly would like to know!
