Looking through my log file, I noticed something about the matching when it comes to cargo flights where the registration is not showing. Here is part of the log file:

                UPS5481               BWI->PHL UPS     A306     =4= FSLTL_A306_IRB_Iran-Airtour-STUB

                FDX92                         IND->LGG FDX     B77L     =4= FSLTL_B77L_CEL_Ceiba-Intercontinental-STUB
                FDX92    N882FD       IND->LGG respawns because of regcode change
                FDX92    N882FD       IND->LGG FDX     B77L.(C) =1= AIGAIM_FedEx Express Boeing 777-200F

                UPS204                SDF->DFW UPS     B748     =4= FSLTL_B748_BOE_Boeing-Commercial-STUB

                CAO3156               CTU->ARN CAO     A332     =4= FSLTL_A332_RWD_RwandAir-STUB

I have liveries for these cargo aircraft. Here is a part of the LiveriesScanned.xml (sorted in the same way as the log file):

What seems to be happening, is that when the registration is missing, PSXT looks for a non-cargo livery, but can't find one (because these are cargo airilines) and therefore picks a non-cargo ZZZ livery. Is there anything I can do to make it pick a cargo livery?

Where were you when you captured these? I can go have a look on my end. Very weird to not have reg's associated to them.

Yes that's normal because that's they only thing PSXT can do if the registration code is not known.

However, if a little while later the registration becomes available, see for instance FDX92, PSXT replaces it with the correct cargo livery (respawns)

Perfect, thanks!

And now that I think of it, I can improve my chances of getting an actual generic livery by creating a text file in "my regcodes" and putting a lot of the stub liveries in there without a registration code.

That will not work. You need a regcode in a file in the my regcodes folder ....

Sorry, I wasn't clear: I'm putting them in a text file for them not to be used (and I compared the LiveriesScanned.xml before and after I put the liveries that I didn't want to be used in the text file, and that worked). Now I only have generic liveries for airline ZZZ.
