Changing "Call Signs"

Is there a way to change FSX call signs?  For example on the C 130 ATC refers to you as SAF.  I would like to change it to something a little more realistic.

My B 727 is Ok with Pan AM 001 though I would like to change that also.

This question was just recently answered in one of the CS forums. Why don't you try a seach?

Hi ottoramsaig,

I think you must try to change the call sign at:

C:\Program Files (x86) > Microsoft Games > Microsoft Flight Simulator X > SimObjects > Airplanes > CS_C130 > aircraft.cfg

.................................

[fltsim.5]
title=CS C130X 5
sim=C130
model=g
panel=g
sound=
texture=swe
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=SAF
atc_airline=Flygvapnet or Air Force (It was SAF)
atc_flight_number=
ui_manufacturer=Lockheed
ui_type="C-130E"
ui_variation="Swedish AF"
ui_typerole="Multi-Engine TurboProp"
ui_createdby="Captain Sim"
description="'C-130 X-perience' Pro Pack v.1.3\n(c) 2008 Captain Sim www.captainsim.com"
flg="Sweden AF"


................................

Check if the new call sign exists at airlines.cfg. If not, add it.

Thanks for for the help, I did do the search and found nothing pertaiing to this subject.  One other question: If I change the call sign will it show up in the ATC (Voice) with the change?

Got as far as "AIRCRAFT.CFG" I do not have a program to open it. I am running Win 7.

I also noticed that my Root Folder was in the Program Files not the Program Files (86X)

Open it with notepad. I have also set notepad as the default program for opening CFG files.

Did that. Copied the C130 cfg file to desktop folder were I modified it to reflect the ATC Call sign from C130, USAF, SAF to C130, Air force, 775. However after I open the game the original atc call signs were still there.

Model Lauren Bush is planning her wedding to Ralph Lauren's son David Lauren. The granddaughter of former President George H. Bush, says after the wedding her married name will likely be Lauren Bush-Lauren.
"Out of all the people I could've met and fallen in love with," Bush, tells Harper's Bazaar. "It's just ironic that David would end up with someone named Lauren. I think it will be Lauren Bush-Lauren. That's not final, but I think it's nice to have the same name as your husband. I am sort of old-fashioned in that way."
Bush will wear a wedding dress by her future father-in-law for the nuptials, which she would like to be intimate.
"Small, we know small," she says. "We're just kind of figuring out all the other
