    Does anyone know how to reduce the size of the super jumbo bill board size tail number on the custom livery?
    I tried editing the panel.cfg but that didn't work, plus I really have no idea what I am doing.

    Thanks

      I looked at a few real life pics online and the letter scale seems to match...

        It's possible to control the size of a custom tail number using a 'font_scale' value in the panel.cfg (1.0 being full size):

        [VPainting03]
        size_mm = 2048,512
        texture = $RegistrationNumberExt
        location = exterior

        painting00=Registration/Registration.html?font_color=black&font_scale=0.2, 0, 0, 2048, 512

          Thanks Martyn,
          Your instructions worked fantastic.

          My screenshots no longer look comical to me with those huge numbers.
          Why experimental aircraft can have 3 inch numbers but certified ones need 12 inch numbers is beyond me .

          Anyways, thanks again.......:thumbs_up:
