Callsign Change Mid Flight

Happy 1st April, no this is not an aprils fool topic:

So I’ve been doing a world tour in the B747 lately and on Sunday, I was flying on the casual server. For that, I changed my callsign from Lufthansa 003VA to D-BAHN. One hour ago, I had to disconnect from the server for a minute and it changed my callsign in the Expert Server to the one that I used on the casual server. I will attach a picture of it. I went back on my main phone, switched the callsign back to Lufthansa 003VA, disconnected from the expert server (remaining in the session), spawned into the casual server (it detected my Lufthansa callsign) and ended the flight session on the casual server. I went back and reconnected my other phone back to the expert server, however it didn’t change back to my Lufthansa callsign.

Any suggestions on how to get it back to my VA callsign?

Best wishes,
Richard

Hello!

All of your flights from today, are showing “Lufthansa 003VA” as your callsign, which is weird given what you’re showing in the screenshot.

Did you have an active Flight Resume session going on Expert or what’s going on precisely with that session?

No I didnt. On Sunday we did some stuff on the casual server and I didn’t want to use my virtual airline callsign. Everything went alright until I had to move my device which is connected via cable connection. When I reconnected to the multiplayer server, it changed my Expert Server callsign to the one I used on Sunday’s casual server flight.

Indeed, it is very weird and I tried to run everything backwards, as I said. I’ve never left the expert server session. In fact, I’m currently on the ground in SBGR trying to resolve this issue, yet I havent found any fix to that problem.

Thanks for the quick response.

Do you have any active sessions right now? Flight resume or regular.

I have one active session on the Expert Server and I saw that I still have one open on Solo mode? From a long time ago I think.

The one main session is my world tour and if there’s a way to continue it with my VA callsign, it would be amazing. I don’t know what happened here :sweat_smile:

I can see that you spawned in next to me. Should I do anything?

I just kicked you out.
Restart the app and try again..

Did you restart after I kicked you there?

Oh no I didn’t. I try to do it in one session, since it shows all the flights on Infinite View. Is there any way to get it back in this session or I have to restart the app?

Changing callsign mid-session isn’t possible at any point.
So if that’s what you’re asking - no.

It’s just really weird how it changed mid session and now it doesn’t change back to LH003VA

I mean, it did it on it’s own after I was disconnected from the ES for a minute. Something happened on the server’s side.

I reset your callsign now.
Restart the app and spawn in again please.

Okay thanks. But why did it change mid session though?

That’s the million dollar question.
Never seen this before and hopefully never will again..

Something must have got stuck somehow.

Then let’s hope it will never be the question at ‘Who wants to be a millionaire’

If you find out the answer though, I would be curious what the cause was.

I mainly wanted to stay in this session, because of the cool trace in Infinite View, but now it came to an aprubt stop :smiley:

April’s fools day, huh?

Thank you for your time :slight_smile:

Most likely scenario;

Really rare corner case with access tokens, long session on one server and then interrupted by another new session on different server with a different callsign

A rare corner case, but it was fun to see the old “Callsign change in mid-flight” make a brief return, Brings back memories.
