What are the Aircraft Identity Settings and How Should They Be Set?

From SayIntentions Client Identity Tab you can fill in your callsign etc. which can be used on both GA and Commercial flights.

    -On the main SI Client window, click on the Settings Icon (cog wheel -  upper right) 

    -The Settings window will open. Choose the Identity Tab. Here you can choose a callsign & tell the AI how to

        pronounce it

    -Important things to fill in here are:

            a) Aircraft ICAO Enter the 4 character ICAO designation for your Aircraft (ie. B738 or BE58)

                NOTE: For MSFS users, it is best to leave this field as <AUTO> as ICAO is detected automatically from

                the sim. X-Plane users should manually set their ICAO especially if they are VFR and want to run

                CheckLists. Also if you have created a custom Checklist, you will want to set this field to the custom ICAO

                you created.

            b) Aircraft Callsign (typically the manufacturer or the model of the airplane, ie. Cessna or Vision Jet)

            c) Tail Number (should follow the naming conventions for your country)

            d) Color Future use for group flights

            e) Long Callsign - spell out phonetic alphabet and numbers for your entire callsign (how ATC addresses you

                on first contact)

            f) Short Callsign - spell out phonetic alphabet and numbers for your shorten callsign (how ATC addresses

                you on subsequent contacts)

               (NOTE: Clicking on Auto here will automatically fill in the Long and Short Callsign fields phonetically based

                on the Tail number entered above)

-The bottom section is for commercial flights:

           a) Airline ICAO - enter the 3 letter ICAO code for your chosen airline (ie. EWG or UAL)

           b) Airline Flight Number - enter your chosen flight number

           c) SimBrief Callsign Overrides These Settings - check this box to allow SayIntentions to use Airline info

                from SimBrief instead.

-If you want SayIntentions to use airline info from your SimBrief flightplan rather than what is entered here:

           a) Make sure to check the SimBrief checkbox mentioned above

               NOTE: This pulls Aircraft ICAO & Flight Number from Simbrief ONLY AFTER RECEIVING CLEARANCE FROM

                ATC and it overwrites Aircraft ICAO in the SI Identity tab unless it is set to <AUTO>

           b) In SimBrief, it is essential that the following fields be filled in:

                   - Airline ICAO (used by CabinCrew) - 3 letter ICAO code for your chosen airline (ie. EWG or UAL) 

                   -  Flight Number (used by CabinCrew) - enter your chosen flight number 

                   - ATC Callsign (used by ATC) - the callsign that will be used by ATC, typically a combination of

                        the Airline and Flight Number (ie. EWG899)
