How to remove obsolete airlines in FS Traffic
-
I now fly mostly up and down the east coast of the United States. Once in a while, I'll hear ATC and pilots call out Critter. That nickname was used for ValuJet, which has been defunct for a long time (after it was absorbed by AirTran and, subsequently, Southwest).
How do I get make sure that they won't appear again? I tried looking in the control center, but I don't see a way to delete flight plans by airlines. Thanks.

The easiest way to prevent certain airlines from generating will be to unassign an airline's liveries in the Traffic Control Centre. This can be done via the following method:
- Go to Traffic Control Centre > Aircraft > Liveries.
- Select an aircraft type
- Delete each entry in the "Livery" fields next to the airline's name you wish to remove
- Click "Save Changes"
The changes will take effect the next time the simulator is launched.
I've just had a quick search through a variety of airports on the US East Coast, and I'm not seeing any airlines with the callsign "Critter". If you could let us know if you are hearing the callsign at a specific airport, then we can take a look to see which aircraft/airline may be causing that.

Thanks, @Mark. I looked and it's not there either under MD8x and DC9x. I've never heard them at specific airports, but I've heard them while flying. I'll try to pay attention the next time I fly.

@Mark So here's something interesting. I was at KMIA a little after 11:00 am Eastern Standard Time. I just landed waiting to taxi to parking and I heard callsign Critter 300.
What's interesting is that I looked in Traffic Control Centre around that time (local) and I don't see any ValuJet nor that flight number scheduled for departure at all within the next hour.
I wonder if it was generated by MSFS.
Thanks.

Yes, depending on the MSFS Traffic settings, MSFS could be generating online/offline traffic in addition to the traffic generated by the FS Traffic module.
To ensure that FS Traffic is the only source of traffic generation in the simulator, we would recommend double-checking that the MSFS Traffic settings match those in the Quick Start Guide on pages 8 and 9 of the FS Traffic manual: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003616/FSTraffic_MSFS_manual.pdf
