Problem with a company name change livery

[Sagittarius2018 4]

Hi Nico, the old Alitalia company has been renamed ITA Airways. The livery has also changed but only one or two planes in the entire fleet have the new one. But that's not the problem.

In fact, the company code has also changed: from AZA to ITY.

For this reason, when PSX (which I use together with RealTraffic) searches the livery folders for ITY textures, it finds nothing, because there are only AZA textures, so it only displays the default textures of the various airplanes.

Is there a way, as long as the entire fleet does not "wear" the new livery (it will take a very long time), to display the AZA liveries when the flight code is ITY?

Thank you.

Well the "entire" fleet is not that big, 55  planes only : https://www.planespotters.net/airline/ITA-Italia-Trasporto-Aereo

So it cannot be much work for you to change the atc_parking_codes=AZA line in your liveries to atc_parking_codes=ITY  is it not?

Airlines come and go all over the world, it is not the task of PSXT to keep record of it, sorry.

Of course not Nico. Where do I find the atc_parking_codes = AZA lines?

In the aircraft.cfg files. Such a file consists of a number of [fltsim.x] sections, one for each livery.

see for instance this on in FAIB_A319_CFM:

[fltsim.16]
title=A319 Alitalia EI-IMD
sim=FAIB_A319
model=CFM
texture=alitalia imd
atc_id=EI-IMD
atc_airline=ALITALIA
ui_manufacturer=FAIB
ui_type=A319
ui_variation=ALITALIA
ui_createdby=FAIB
description=For AI use only, :: Repaint by Philippe Tabatchnik.
atc_parking_types=GATE
atc_parking_codes=ITY

Thanks Nico, now I finally see correctly aircraft with Alitalia (ITY) livery.

In addition to the Aircraft.cfg files, I had to change the atc_parking_codes=AZA to atc_parking_codes=ITY the Aircraft.cfgaig files as well

I did well?
