Registration of aircrafts #109

Open yannik-b opened 2 years ago

yannik-b commented 2 years ago

Is it in any way possible to provide the aircraft registration to XPMP (as "livery" string), so that one can make CSL liveries specific of a given registration? This would become very handy, especially if you are flying an aircraft with a special livery. Then the other simmers could see this special liv too. Or, the other way round: If someone is flying a SunExpress normal livery, you don't see them in the special Eintracht Frankfurt soccer team livery, because it is randomly taken from SXS/B738 combination.

If Vatsim doesn't provide the REG in the aircraft position packages, is there a chance to extract this from data.vatsim.net/ out of the remarks?

This is a feature that the pilot client developers want to implement, but it will require significant work to implement, so it won't happen any time soon. The developer of vPilot posted a proposal of the idea here: https://forums.vatsim.net/topic/32314-feedback-requested-on-proposed-model-matching-changes/
