Even in your PS5 trailer one can see the bug

Hi all
My H125 always sets SP-MDB as its registration if I leave the field empty and I found at least one video on youtube where the helicopter has the same registration. Does anyone of you have the same problem and does maybe one of you guys know the problem plus a solution? I wasn’t able to find any other thread regarding this problem. Might be even a bug not listed yet.

Not sure about the registration, it may be SP-MDB, I’ll check next time, but oil rig cargo hook missions very often give me the green Ciudad de Merida livery, no matter if I’m in China, Alaska, or Norway.

Yet another easy, trivial thing Asobo can’t master.

I can confirm that at the oil rig cargo missions the H125 always has the SP-MDB registration (and almost always the green Ciudad de Merida livery).

Interestingly, at the mission briefing screen in the hangar, the registration seems to be according to the country I am in, like G-xxxx, but by the time we got to the oil rig, it changes to SP-MDB :slight_smile:

No others experiencing that bug?

Go to the in-game-options to personalize the registration, delete what is in there, load a free flight, registration will be blank, go back again and load a next flight and tadaaa: SP-MDB…

The good news is it may still be available if you want it:

Haha yes I saw that one too while googling for the problem. Looks pretty much like the exact version we have in the sim. Pure coincidence? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Haha even on the PS5-trailer the H125‘s registration reads SP-MDB in all the appearances :flushed_face:
