Found a couple of typo's in the pf3_callsigns.dat which are mapped incorrectly. Royal New Zealand Airforce marked down as Air New Zealand . Hence the 2 ANZ entries in the PF3 airline list in the PF3 options 1.

So if you select one of the two ANZ's, you will get the RNZAF call sign which is KIWI, instead of New Zealand.

I have fixed mine, but maybe this could be tidied up in the next maintenance release.

This appears to be a hang over from PFE, as QANTAS is still spelt QUANTAS, which was in PFE also.

Not a complaint, just an rather boring info sharing post :)

Not boring at all! All these little points are valid and go to making PF3 more robust, more flexible and thus a more attractive ATC programme.

Thanks for the heads-up. This has now been addressed in our next maintenance release which is due later this month
