Update 1.3: Updated to match various improvements to the non-English localization files introduced with Sim Update 10. Additionally, support has been added for es-MX, pt-PT, and zh-CN language options, which were also introduced for the PC-6 in this update.
Update 1.2: Updated for Sim Update 9 (See changelog for details). Please note that, at this time, certain languages are not currently supported, as there are currently no official localization files for this aircraft in these languages. I will continue to monitor the localization files for changes and additions, and will update the addon as needed.
Update 1.1: This addon is now updated for Sim Update 8. The PC-6 was changed in that update to be sorted with unique names, similar to the original version of this addon. As such, this addon now simply updates that sorting to more closely match the naming conventions used by other default aircraft with variations, like the Cessna 172, updated to feature the full model name of the aircraft, along with keeping the other fixes I've implemented. Additionally, it appears that the default localization files for the PC-6 are not currently complete in languages other than English. This addon will give each variant of the PC-6 a unique name in all the selectable languages, but there may still be unlocalized text that I did not change. I will keep an eye on these files for official updates, and will update this addon accordingly.
This addon also fixes the text-to-speech ATC and pilots simply referring to the plane as a "Pilatus" with a missing model name. This addon enables the use of a pre-existing string in the localization files, allowing the plane to be referred to properly as a "Pilatus Turbo Porter".
Furthermore, this addon changes the aircraft's ICAO Type Designator from "PC6" to the correct "PC6T". If any real PC6T aircraft are detected by the game's live traffic system, they should now use the PC-6 as their model, instead of a generic plane.
This addon should support most of the selectable languages in the game. If you notice that any of the selectable languages are not working properly, or contain a mistake, please let me know, and I will do my best to fix it.

Thanks mate, my OCD hits the roof everytime I see the PC6 in my aircraft list.

Thanks, still can't believe this mod even needs to exist. Can you also fix the Volocopter identity in the aircraft list?
OboeShoes author
I was thinking about looking into the Volocopter, but for some reason, it appears that not all of the files for the Volocopter (and Pitts S1) are available to view/edit, even though the other three new Game of the Year Edition planes have everything available.
Hopefully it gets fixed officially soon, it seems like it has a number of mistakes in its config, unfortunately.
