At the end of the session to Ronaldsway, Tom and I both appeared in post WWI single engined passenger biplanes. Well actually they were Antonov AN2 but the mistake is excuseable. We'd both selected aircraft codes thought to be related to what we were flying. After that I located the IVAO Text list of aircraft. That seems to invclude most of what has passed through between Orville and now. It certainly includes the code for the Lionceau that we both use for farmstrips, yet that aircraft doesn't show. Last night Tom and I had a session at Haverfordwest, where we tried a variety of codes, most of which didn't do anything. Some, like the C172, Citation and Dash 8 showed up OK.
Today I've spent a few hours trying to unravel the mystery. It appears that the mega long list of aircraft codes that the menu offers greatly outnumbers the total of 201 actually present in the IVAO_MTL folder. I've compiled a list of the codes that work, plus the aircraft they represent. It should be a help when filing a flightplan. You can at least pick a code that will show an aircraft that looks a bit like your own, on other folks' screens, if the one you're flying isn't in the list.
The full list of aircraft that should show up is: CODE AIRCRAFT ==== ========= A30B A300 A124 AN124 A306 A306 AIRBUS A748 NS748 = BAE748 AN2 ANTANOV AN2 AN24 Antonov An24 AN26 Antonov An-26 AS65 DAUPHIN HELICOPTER AT43 ATR42 AT72 ATR72 B06 BELL 206 B190 BEECH B1900 B212 BEL 212 B350 BEECH KINGAIR 350 B377 BOEING STRATOCRUISER B461 BAE146 100 B462 BAE146 200 B701 B707 B703 B707 B712 B717 B720 B707-720 B721 B727-100 B732 B737-200 B739 B737-900 B742 B747-200 B752 B757-200 B762 B767-200 B772 B777-200 BA11 BAC111-200 BA9L BEECH KINGAIR C90 BE20 BEECH KINGAIR B200 BE40 Beechjet 400A - Raytheon Hawker 400X BE58 BEECH BARON 58 BE99 Beech C99 BN2P Britten-Norman BN-2 C04T Cessna 404 Titan C46 C46 (DAKOTA) C101 CASA C-101 Aviojet C130 C130 HERCULES C141 C141 MILITARY 4 JET C160 C160 TWIN PROP TRANSPORT C172 C172 UNTEXTURED C208 Cessna C208 Grand Caravan C337 Cessna C337 Turbo Super Skymaster C402 CESSNA 402A TWIN C414 Cessna 414A TWIN C421 Cessna 421C C550 Cessna Citation II (C550) CL2P CL415 AMPHIBIAN TWIN CL60 Canadair CL604 BIZJET COMT DH COMET JET LINER CONC CONCORDE CONI CONSTELLATION CRJ2 Canadair CRJ-200 CRJ7 Canadair CRJ-700 CVLP CONVAIR CVLT Convair CV-580 (CVLT) D328 Dornier 328 DC3 Douglas DC3 DC4 Douglas DC4 DC6 Douglas DC6 DC7 Douglas DC7 DC10 Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 DC85 McDonnell-Douglas DC-8 DC91 DC9-10 DC93 DC9-30 DC94 DC9-40 DC95 DC9-50 DH8A DASH 8 DH8D DASH 8-400 DHC6 deHavilland DHC-6 DHC7 DeHavilland DHc7 Dash-7 DR40 Robin DR400-180 DV20 DIAMOND DA20-A1 Katana E3CF E3CF EARLY WARNING 707 E120 Embraer 120 E145 ERJ145 E170 Embraer E170 TWIN TP E300 Extra 300 EC30 EC130 ENSTROM HELICOPTER EC35 EC 135 ENSTROM HELICOPTER EC45 EC145 ENSTROM HELICOPTER EUFI EUROFIGHTER EXPL RED HELICOPTER FS Northrop F5 Tiger F16 Lockheed F16 F18 F18 F22 Lockheed F22 F27 FOKKER F27 F28 Fokker F28 Fellowship F70 Fokker F70 F100 Fokker F100 F117 Lockheed F117 GAZL Eurocopter Gazelle GLF2 Gulfstream G-II-TT GLF4 Gulfstream G-IV GLID_A13 GLIDER ASK 13 GLID_A25 GLIDER ASK 25 GLID_KA6 GLIDER Schleicher Ka-6 GLID_KA8 GLIDER Schleicher Ka-8 GLID_SH GLIDER Schempp-Hirth Duo Discus H25B BAe HS-125-700 H25C BAe HS-125-800 H64 Westland Apache H64 HAR Harrier II plus AV8B+ HUCO Bell AH-1S Huey Cobra IL14 ILIYUSIN IL-14 IL86 Iliyusin IL-86 J328 Fairchild Dornier 328 Jet JS1 Handley Page Jetstream 1 K35R KC135 REFUELING TANKER L39 L39C Albatross MIL JET L101 Lockheed L1011 TriStar L159 L159 ALCA MIL JET L188 LOCKHEED L188 4 ENG TP L200 L200 GA TWIN L410 LET 410 TWIN TP PAGGENGER LJ23 Gates Learjet 23 LJ24 Gates Learjet 24 LJ25 Gates Learjet 25 LJ31 Gates Learjet 31 LJ35 Gates Learjet 35 LJ45 Bombardier Learjet 45 M20T Mooney_Bravo M202 Martin M202 M404 M404 TWIN TP PASSENGER MD11 Boeing MD11 MD80 Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas MD-80 MD87 Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas MD-87 MD90 Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas MD-90 MG21 Mig 21 MI17 Milan LisneR Mi-17 HELICOPTER MI24 Milan LisneR MI-24 HELICOPTER P28A PIPER P28A PA30 Piper PA30 Twin Comanche PA31 Piper PA31 Navajo TWIN PA46 Piper meridian PA46T PAY2 Piper PA-31T Cheyenne II PC6T Pilatus Porter PC6 PC7 PILATUS Astra PC7 PC12 PILATUS PC7 TUCA R22 Robinson R22 RJ1H BAe Avro RJ100/BAe 146-300 RJ85 BAe Avro RJ85/BAe 146-200 S61 Sikorsky S61 Seaking S210 S210 CARAVELLE SB39 Jas39C MIL JET SH33 Shorts SD3-30 SH36 Shorts SD3-60 SR22 Cirrus SR22 SW4 Fairchild Metroliner III T104 TUPOLEV TU104 T114 TUPOLEV TU114 T134 TUPOLEV TU134 T144 TUPOLEV TU-144 SST T154B2 Tupolev Tu154B-2 T154M Tupolev Tu154M T204 Tupolev 204 T214 Tupolev 214 TOR Tornado TUCA TUCARNO FAB2 UH1 Bell Huey UH1D V10 OV10 US MIL TP VC10 VICKERS VC10 VISC VICKERS VISCOUNT W3 W3A Sokol HELICOPTER WACF WACO TAIL DRAGGER YK40 YAK 40 YS11 TWIN TP PASSENGER Z26 Zlin Z226 Z42 Zlin Z142C Z43 Zlin Z43The size of a printout of the list is a bit daunting!
