Trolls with annoying callsigns

It seems this can be done with complete impunity.

Are there any rules to deter this?

Eg someone just had the call sign PP-PPP, obviously a deliberate attempt to irritate anyone else sharing the frequency, yet I didn’t hear any reprimand from ATC. This was the expert server.

Hey! I understand your frustration, but as long as a Callsign isn’t inappropriate, I don’t think anything can be done. If they have an IFC account, feel free to politely reach out :slight_smile:

I agree. I’ve been thinking for a long time that IF should only allow the proper callsign automatically. For example, if you select a British Airways aircraft, it should automatically assign the SPEEDBIRD callsign, etc. I’d only allow custom callsigns for small GA aircraft. All those crazy/random callsigns occasionally just drive me crazy! :sweat_smile:

Ouch. That must be irritating to hear on th freq lol. Better to however reach out to the pilot who was with the callsign and attempt to resolve the issue.

I use GA callsign because I hate the situation that I forget to change an airline callsign and back to home menu!

I don’t like it when someone uses GA callsigns on planes that aren’t general aviation and I don’t really like it when someone uses letters in a callsign for example Cedar Jet 772JI or Anatolian 001GR

You mean letters… or?

Fun fact: PP-PPP is a real registration on a GA aircraft. In short: If it flies in real life I’m sure it’s allowed to fly on the expert server :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

It looks like it’s gonna collide with an A330 even tho the A330 is holding short I think but it still looks like they’re taking off at the same time

The worst I’ve encountered are those that put 67 I know it already exists but when it’s to put it on speedbird A380s I understand directly that it’s false and it’s quite rented…

It was on an A350 :face_holding_back_tears:

Yet ive seen a real plane with reg number N111GA​:heart_eyes::innocent:

I saw a G500 last week with the registration N1111P

I saw ur callsign on waypoint the other day

Annoying callsigns… Idk about PPP-PP but I am annoyed by Jetblue 1524 ‘Super’ A320s or Southwest 737 “Super” on “Expert:laughing: or the opposite: “Heavy” A380s…

Letters in a CS, like Speedbird 31AL are absolutely common irl but I agree, sometimes these callsigns Sound awful :see_no_evil_monkey:
