I like to have different, personalised, registrations for each aircraft in my hangar. I also like to use add-on liveries but unfortunately most 3rd-part devs don’t provide that feature in their products, which frustrates me. I know you can “change” the aircraft registration in the aircraft.cfg file but if the dev has “baked it in” that doesn’t work and I’m not going to learn how to make liveries so that I can change it myself - not THAT keen!
All the “stock” stuff works okay though, including editing the aircraft.cfg file.

Unless I am using a livery that has a baked registration I change it somewhat often however all of them are valid and assigned to the make and model I am flying. It bugs me personally if it’s not. I’m not one that sticks to just one personal registration for everything and I don’t think I ever have been. I have ran across a number that do though.
