Custom Tail Numbers for your Liveries

Featured Replies

The Tail Number can be edited in the aircraft.cfg file for the aircraft/livery in the Community folder.  Click on "Reveal Hidden Content" tab below to open up the window to see the specific lines (in blue) in the .cfg file to edit.  As always, make a backup of your .cfg file first.  And if anyone can figure out what color codes to use in that line (in purple) please advise.  Photoshop is the tool I use to match colors and the hex codes in Photoshop are six digits, not eight as seen in the example embedded in that line.  Changing the font may also be possible.

Still trying to find control of the tail number color.  Have not figured it out yet.
