Is there a way to automatically assign a tail number and call sign that will apply to ALL aircraft?

Hi @Patirish2,

In free flight:

So far, this seems to have worked for me.

To me it seems that whatever i fill out here, the sim will give me a random tail number.

It gives me a random tail number also, based on the country where I start my flight.

Same issue here, always random tail numbers nomather what I enter in the Aircraft identification tab. Seems strange why it would have such a feautre at all, and the fact that it seems to be bugged is not great…

I also cannot get the custom tail number to stick. When the aircraft loads, it’s some random number.

The first day I was able to load the sim (Nov. 20) I put my tail number in and it worked fine. Since then it defaults to a random number every time I load a flight. Re enter my own tail number and it doesn’t work. So, it went from working, to not working.

Does not work, I’ve tried multiple times and I just get a random tail number.

Yet ANOTHER basic function that we are forced to find as BETA TESTERS. This is not something hard to discover as a DEV working for MS or Asobo. Just poor QA and reliance on the PUBLIC to report it because they DO NOT test aircraft they just PRAY they work. Case in point is the reversed TRIM AXIS controls in several aircraft which would have been discovered on just ONE flight in each one. ONE. Shameful.

Hello,
I’m having the issue that ths sim thakes my defined c/s but adds 2022.
I’m flying with the FBW A32N ca/s CFG002 the sim calls CFG002 2022.

Thx

It has been almost a month since you posted this issue, and it still exists! I would have thought one of the patches would have fixed it, but I suppose they have more serious issues to deal with. I’ll just try to be patient and wait for the fix…whenever it happens.

jan 12th 2025 - I’m getting a random tail number on every load-in, sim has a ‘Identification’ UI on the plane select screen but ignores what you put in there. this seriously messes up the liveries that have the tail number automatically applied to the tail fin.

I.e. same issue that’s been reported since the start of this thread. Maybe it needs tp be posted as a ‘Bug Report’ though.

what about career mode ?

I have no idea, as I have only flown in Career-Mode a couple of times shortly after the game was released.

On my flight this past weekend I my callsign and tail number were working correctly. ATC recognized and used my callsign. Now, if they would just give me correct callouts on an ILS instead of continual orders to climb to cruise altitude.
