Sick of FS ATC referring to you as type 'experimental' ?
Here's a simple workaround:
Open aircraft.cfg and look for the lines
[General]
atc_type=Experimental
atc_model=
and adjust them to read
atc_type=A10
atc_model=A10
FS ATC will now refer to you as type 'Thunderbolt' and call you by your tail number

I take it a few steps further.
For each aircraft I modify the atc_id, atc_airlines and atc_flight_number entries. For example,
atc_id=225742
atc_airline=ARMY
atc_flight_number=5742
as well as modifying the atc_type and atc_model in the [general] section as follows:
atc_type=REPUBLIC
atc_model=P47
The atc_id is the full tail number if there is one, and the atc_airline is the military branch of the aircraft,. For the flgiht number I use either the four or three last characters of the atc_id, or even the plane number.
When I communicate with the ATC I'm recognized as "Army 5742" flying a "Republic P-47."
It takes a while to set these up for each texture for each aircraft, but its worth it if you use the ATC a lot as I do.
