Please bring back Random dynamic registrations

[NightRage121]

We used to have random dynamic registrations be auto generated onto planes that would also changed based on the country you fly in. Apparently it was removed in a certain update if im not mistaken.

Can it please be brough back?

If I am not mistaken, the current registration scheme is the outcome of user asks. Perhaps search out for previous threads which discussed this, as users had voted for what we have now?

I can’t figure out what we have now.

The C185, for example, seems to use a fixed USA N-reg for all liveries (at least it does here in the USA, I’ve not tried to use it elsewhere.)

However, the PMDG 772, used to auto-fill the tail number to match whatever was assigned to one of their liveries. This seems to have been broken at some phase of SU3 Beta, because it no longer works.

Then, the C210 isn’t filling in a reg number, at all, and is using the worse-than-useless ASXGS tail number.

The JF PA-28 auto fills in the correct tail number to match whatever is on the livery.

The whole thing seems wildly inconsistent and all over the road.

Worse, is this bug I’ve found when entering a custom number, but wanting to revert to an auto-filled number later in the session:

Clearing a Custom Tail Number Results in the Sim Unable to Auto-Fill Livery-Assigned Tail Numbers without Relaunching the Sim

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 cho…

FYI, the other Dynamic Registration wish is here:

[MSFS2024] Option to disable random aircraft registrations

Please let us disable the randomly generated aircraft registrations introduced in MSFS 2024 and use the ones preset with the liveries in the atc_id parameter instead. The random ones are making the in-game ATC use wrong registrations for liveries without dynamic regs. The popular flight trackers are creating the aircraft based on this so they’ll create a random aircraft each time you use them.

I see it as just reverting back to something simpler because they couldn’t (at the time) implement the random reg without breaking aircraft that needed specific ones/preset ones. With the right UI, we can have our cake and eat it too - just needs to be developed properly.
