Can someone please tell where I can find the aircraft registration numbers, I need to add my aircraft to the fleet in SimtoolkitPro, many thanks
I don’t know exactly what you mean.
But for the default aircraft and maybe some payware planes you can change it in the aircraft setting.
For other payware planes like the Aerosoft CRJ, the registration is part of the livery and can’t be changed.
The registration is also known as the tail number, UK begins with G-, USA is N- etc etc, its the tail numbers of my current commercial jets I need in order to add them to SimtoolkitPro
You can change the registration, it just won’t be reflected in the livery, but ATC will refer to you by the new registration.
Look in the “aircraft.cfg” for these lines:
atc_id = “” ; tail number
atc_airline = “” ; airline name
atc_flight_number = “” ; flight number
You will have something hardcoded in there. Either change this to what you want, or leave them like this so that the settings in the sim itself determine your tail number. But this won’t change the livery if the registration is baked in.
Having looked at all the aircraft.cfg files it only states the following:-
atc_id = " " ; tail number
atc_id_enable = 1 ; enable tail number
atc_airline = “American” ; airline name
I am not looking to change anything, just want the number???
Well, only you can answer this question because you are the one selecting the liveries/registrations you fly.
I do it this way:
For example, i want to add the Lufthansa CRJ to STK, i download a livery from flightsim.to, look up the registration of that livery and put it in STK. Easy as that…

It was a little more complicated for Neofly.
When I wanted to add the Carenado 182T to Neofly, I had to use this for one of the liveries:
Carenado CT182T Skylane G-ANRW
Because the plane is encrypted, I couldn’t find the information I needed for this, but I was able to use SPAD to determine that for me.
For the JF Arrow, this was easier, as it can be seen in the “aircraft.cfg” file:
title = “Just Flight PA28 Arrow III G-BGKU” ; Variation name
I use a random aircraft registration generator I found on Google to choose my tail numbers. I then assign those numbers to my various aircraft in Simtoolkit Pro. I keep that registration number permanently for that aircraft.
If the tail number can be changed within MSFS, I do that before each flight. If the tail number is part of the livery, I ignore it and still use my assigned number. The placard will usually reflect my number, even if the livery won’t. I hope Asobo will allow us to assign our tail numbers for each aircraft eventually.
