Aircraft Operator Livery Selection

I can't seem to figure out (or maybe it's just not an option right now) how to select what livery my plane is showing.

Two examples I can think of at the moment:

SKW - Skywest - operates flights using American, Alaska, United, Delta - I would like to be able to select what E175 operator livery is showing to other pilots

FIN - currently operating DH8D from Wideroe but the callsigns are FIN so this does not show up properly to other pilots.

Ideally, I would think you would have two options (the old way to connect to VATSIM using xsquawkbox for example) - (1) enter callsign, and (2) select livery. The livery selection would be what is matched up with the CSL model matching.

At the moment, what you appear as to others is based purely on the callsign - so, as you mention, wet leases/franchising etc don't really work properly. As far as I'm aware, for X-Pilot when multiple liveries exist for an airline, a random applicable livery is chosen, which is done client side, so won't match between all users.

What you suggest has been raised for V Pilot - see below, so could eventually happen.
