@Black-Square thanks. It's not that big a deal, I'm sure someone will publish hardcoded registration livery until they fix this. I just thought I was doing something wrong. MSFS 2024 is definitely still a WIP, but we're all in this for the long haul. As far as I'm concerned, this is the end game airplane, there is nothing else I'm nearly as interested in... unless you do a Velocity v2.
I mean I don't know what else there is to do, I hope you do some other Rutan one or something weird/fast/quirky.
PS. The textures on those cockpit instruments are so good. I'm looking at them in full sun with glare, at 4K HDR. Flawless. The aircraft is living and breathing.
