Are you aware that you can customize the size and color of the default reg numbers?

The parameters for the aircraft.cfg are explained in the "Aircraft Container SDK". You can get a download link here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555857

Another handy guide for changing the color is available here - http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=43809

It will show you how to have 16 million color choices for your reg numbers for the default planes.

Hope this helps.

cheers,
Joe

P.S. Nice pics BTW. And the default FS9 Baron feathers it's props every time you shut it done. Pretty sure the real ones don't do that.


No Joe, I was not aware. But I am now, thanks to you. Much appreciated.  Smiley

The colour change also works when using your own ATC Registration letters/numbers on the Default Aircraft.... Smiley...!

(It would be nice if it was as easy to change the size of the text in the same aircraft.cfg file as well).

Many thanks...Wink...!

You can, a little.

It is explained in the SDK, which is just a text document.

cheers,
Joe
