Tail number is not saved per aircraft


ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

The tail number is persistent and shared across all aircraft. I expect this to be saved individually, as this is tied to the airframe itself.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

No, as this is not related to mods. It occurs with all aircraft.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Always.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

Hi folks,

This is the intended design and is also how tail numbers were saved in MSFS (2020). If you’d like this to be changed so that tail numbers are saved on a per-airframe basis instead of globally for all aircraft, please create a new topic in Official Microsoft Flight Simulator > Wishlist requesting this.

Thanks,
MSFS Team
