• This an insane way to explain a simple flaw that has multiple Cessna 172s in my company with identical tail numbers. It is difficult to determine which is the one in Europe and which one is in the US.

EVERY plane should have unique tail numbers displayed at all times to make identifying them easy, so they don’t get confused when setting crew on or crew off

Same issue. You set your N number in free flight, and all the planes/helis in career mode will get that N number…

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Not all, but many different types of aircraft in different regions have the same tail number (e.g. a C408 bought in Hungary and a DHC2 bought in Chile both have Spanish tail numbers)

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

The point is those tail numbers do not appear on the yellow markers on the world map. They should so I can track the 21 737s in my fleet and not have to take 5 to ten minutes to find one. Tail numbers should appear anywhere an image or marker for my planes are.

It isn’t that hard

It would be enough if the tail number and location was displayed on the aircraft thumbnail in the given company’s fleet page - there is enough space for that, and then you can manage them from there easily.

On the world map, you’re still screwed if you have more than one aircraft at one airport, or if there is a mission available at the given airport, because then the yellow marker is just a small circle in the top right corner, and it might not be even the right aircraft.
