ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Normally, the sim will automatically fill in a Tail Number when selecting a livery that has one assigned to it. This works with 2024 native and 2020 native aircraft, for the most part.

However, if I modify the Tail Number to something custom of my choosing and then clear that, the automatic assignment will no longer work – the Tail Number field will simply remain blank. I must I quit and relaunch the sim to have the automatic assignment function return.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Launch sim
  2. Select the C185
  3. Click Configure > Identification and note the automatic entry of the Tail Number field
  4. Modify the tail number
  5. Clear that modified number
  6. Note the blank field (and subsequently the flight number clears itself…)
  7. Switch liveries
  8. Go back to Identification
  9. Note the field is blank
  10. Switch aircraft to one with liveries that have pre-assigned tail numbers (I used the C414, however you can just switch away from the C185 and then switch back to it)
  11. Select a livery
  12. Go to Identification and note it continues to be blank
  13. Quit and relaunch sim
  14. Go to Identification
  15. Note the Tail Number is now filled with the pre-assigned number
