Why do they incorrectly say "Indeo" instead of "India" for letter "I" when docking

[gitman]

Does this bother anyone else? I don't know why it bothers me so much hehe. I am not military but I do have a pilot's license. Does anyone know if there is a reason they say this incorrectly?

[Nenne.]

I am not familiar with this but maybe it is Indeo in some language..
Or the devs just didnt bother about background check it.

I could've sworn they are saying indigo

[Rhomphaia]

Indigo is used by British police

Just checked the station I am at now and Alliance starcon says India

Maybe different superpowers have there own, flying into an imperial station by any chance?

[Agony_Aunt]

I think you are mishearing indigo.

Thats not the only fail. When approaching a planetary base for landing, flight control always confuses "flight level" with "altitude". Hilarious. As a pilot you know the difference, i assume.

For example i'm already at ALT 400m, and ATC says "descent (to) flightlevel three zero zero"... makes no sense at this point. :-)

lol quality control was never a strong skill at Frontier studios.

Different Stations use different dialects. Because that.

is this a case of "friendship drive"?

Ahhh, the old india vs indigo debate. May you never die.

PS: There's times where you use replacement words, especially in aviation. I wonder if Air India still uses India. I highly doubt it...

ESPECIALLY in aviation you NEVER EVER use some kind of "replacement" words. There a phrases you HAVE to use, to avoid misunderstandings and possible accidents. Saying something unexpected has lead into several aviation crashes in the past. Such things only happen in hollywood movies, because they may believe this is cool or something...

And, @kraul59, that's also not a question of "dialects", because phrases in radio communication are international valid in almost every type of radio communication.

It's exactly regulated, which phrases one has to use where, when and why. This is very helpful in difficult radio situations, like statics or atmospherics for example. And i know that not only because i am an radio amateur.

I suggest you guys to read yourself, what exactly "altitude" and "flightlevel" mean in aviation, and what is to use when (and why). Both are complete different things, and not just 2 different words for the same thing. No offense. :-)

So the American Airports that see High levels of Delta airlines flight and switched to "Dixie" for D, Or the Indonesian ones that use "London" because Lima means five, don't exist now?
I don't know if they use India in India, but I do know that they don't in Pakistan, there are plenty of real world examples where the NATO standard does not fit, even in aviation

It's definitely "Indio" or "Indeo" however you want to spell it. They are not saying "indigo"
Thanks for all your replies. Only thing I know of that's indeo is the old intel video driver :) not something you would expect in universal communication.

But could you expect Intel to use that word to name their video driver? I know, it doesn't really "fly", but still... :)

I hear India.

[Rhomphaia]

Since I changed my callsign, I've only heard Indeo once from a male federation controller.
If I hadn't been listening for indeo I would probably have heard that as indigo since that is what I grew up hearing (I never heard "friendship drive" until someone told me, now I can't un-hear it)
Romeo-Indeo makes for a very weird sounding callsign

the other Fed male I have heard says India, as do all of the Alliance voices and the 3 imperial, one independant and engineer I have heard so far.
