ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: In SU4 Beta v1.6.7.0, if any of the three (3) text fields on the “Aircraft identification” page of the configuration menu are changed and saved, all the other aircraft will inherit those same changes.

MODERATORS: Apologies if this is a duplicate report or not a regression in SU4 - I no longer have any older versions to check and it is the first time I modified these fields (changed the F-18 callsign to “AIR FORCE”, and then on next flight, my Cessna was involuntarily enlisted as a military aircraft :wink:

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Everytime

  4. Click “Save and Back”

  5. Select any other aircraft in the Free Flight aircraft selection menu

  6. Click “Configure”, then “Identification”

Personal comments:
As per my understanding and as explained here Tail number is not saved per aircraft - #3, this is not a bug neither a SU4 regression but the actual design.
Looking at the Official Microsoft Flight Simulator > Wishlist , this one could match the request: Save aircraft configuration (tail number) from flight to flight
