X-Plane aircraft's tailnumber

Hi

 

I'm wondering if XPilot could set the aircraft's tailnumber, once the flightplan is filed through the client. It seems that the tailnumber is a writeable field

 

sim/aircraft/view/acf_tailnum

 

This would allow other tools like Little Nav Map to match the simulator's plane to that of the whazzup list. Other tools as well would use the correct tailnumber as per filed flightplan, rather than what the aircraft's model is hardcoded to.

Would a dataref that holds the network login callsign suffice (similar to XSB)?

 

xpilot/login/callsign

Controller (C3), Los Angeles ARTCC

Yes! if there is a callsign that would allow plugins to manage it where needed.

 

If you think about it, all flight plan information could be usable by plugins - xpilot/fpln/callsign, route, etc.

 

Thanks for considering
