Let's get rid of those ugly registration boxes for the AI/multiplayer aircrafts once and for all!! ...

 

This mod makes invisible the registration number box of AI aircraft and other players aircraft.

---

Aircraft surroundings while, taxiing, fliyng in formation, completing the checklist... It's a very important feature for those who love simulators. And a very ugly and unimmersive detail, are the empty registration number boxes from the surrounding aircrafts (and now much worst with the new aircrafts and liveries without white fuselage). All the beauty created by the 3D artists vanishes with those white stickers, looks like the kitchen fridge xD

I readed about it on other threads and I can't undestand why Asobo haven't fixed it yet. 2 years of updates and this still hasn't been solved. Tired of waiting and wasting hope every update to see this solved, I decided to investigate why happen this. Found a really simple trick to hide the white box on AI/multiplayer airplanes. Editing the visibility of the registration number inside the .gltf files. Only the LODs higher than 00, because the 00 is for your own aircraft.

-Mod completion time: 60' (30' loading sim for tests, 5' presentation pics) I only spent 25' to complete this mod, Imagine what could do an experimented Asobo programmer if they dedicate to this bug the priority it deserves. I opened a thread at the official forums with the hope we are listen. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/finally-a-fix-for-registration-white-boxes-for-ai-mp/565426

Hope you like it. Best regards.
