The AIP doesn't have specific callsigns unfortunately for UKP. Put NATO on there as they're used for QRA stuff, a prompt to the ATCO that they're a higher priority flight. Happy to remove though. |

Thinking more about it, would the generic UKP (and maybe HLE?) be better as a label than C/S? I went with C/S to reflect what I know to be reality but might be an occasion where deviating may be a better course of action? |

I think if someone is using a special squawk code for a specific air ambulance, etc, as specified in the AIP, then it's worth it to keep it with the callsign. WRT ADP flights, on VATSIM, no flight can declare itself to have priority, but that doesn't stop the use of callsigns/squawks appropriate to the 'mission' that may be being flown. I have some thoughts in regard to that, but moreso I don't think that 'NATO' would be the best label for them, as that implies generic NATO stuff, whereas something else may be better matched to the squawk. |
|
All makes sense, I'll leave UKP as it is for now then. For NATO, perhaps AIRPOL or similar (Air Police) is better? I believe this is the primary use for the squawks. |

For realism, I'd prefer if this was done in a duplicate folder for NOVA, so that NODE displays remain unchanged. |
Seconded. This is... not good. These code-callsign conversions are overly vague and not helpful. |
|
2000 for I is not realistic on NODE and considering the vatsim environment not helpful to correlate |
most of these new changes are not realistic on NODE - and in fact most of them are more of a hindrance than a help. |
Any way I could make this better? I'm just using what I've got experience with, but it's only a small radar unit. |
