Download Editvoicepack:
http://www.editvoicepack.com/

Contains virtually every callsign ever made, allows for speed up of ATC, and you can create your own as well.

Yep, without the edit voicepack addon, the only callsigns that ATC will use are the default once. Otherwise it will just use the flight number. Speaking of which, I need to see if they have updated the FSX version and fixed the bugs...

I do fly online only, but since FSX still lets you use the AI ATC when flying online, I use that when there isn't a real controller available. It works fairly well, except that I need to ignore the heading instructions if I am approaching an airport along a STAR. It would be nice if I could get it to assign metric altitudes in China, though. Ah, well. Probably too much to ask for.

It's because FS only recognizes the 'official' spelling of the British Airways callsign and I never remember which one it is!
Either Speedbird or Speed Bird works. (I think it's Speed Bird but not entirely sure, it's been a while since I flew BA)

The best way if you're unsure, is to open Edit Voicepack and find the British Airways callsign file.
It should be under Standard Modifications > Callsigns > Registration Country > Europe > United Kingdom > SPEEDBIRD.
What you need to have in the CFG is whatever is in the Identifier field. In this case, it's SPEEDBIRD.
That way, FS links the CFG to that voice-mod file.
