Flight number without registration or aircraft type

[netshadoe 144]

Hi Nico,

Like I promised in my message to you, here is my next suggestion for an 'enhancement'.  🙂

Again, pouring over the log PSXT creates so I may add registrations to the 'registrations.xml' so that the right aircraft type comes up, I encountered a wall with one of them.

The log showed the following:

EJA610                     EJA  nul  =d= FTX Cessna 172 Skyhawk N863CP

As you can see, it was a Netjets flight (EJA610), but real traffic had no information on the registration number or an aircraft type, so PSXT substituted a 'default' C172.  Now, this C172 was cruising at FL400!!  😄

My suggestion, could PSXT upon seeing a flight number only (EJA in this instance) substitute an aircraft that matches the airline EJA instead of a generic default substitute?  So instead of some random C172, PSXT would toss in an EJA C56X instead (or any one of the EJA jets).

You are a machine Nico!  I was just about to hop on a flight...now I can test this version out too!  🙂
