    I'm sure it's probably on my end, but using the Custom livery, the registration number I input shows up on the instrument panel but not on the tail of the aircraft. It's just blank. I have "Show tail number" on.

    Any ideas..?

    Thanks in advance for any help, love the plane too =D

    By the way, forgot to mention it works fine on other aircraft, just not this one for some reason.

    @DxMarovitch Just to confirm, are you selecting the 'Custom' livery from the Aircraft Selection Menu prior to flight? That is the only livery that supports the custom tail number on the exterior. All of the other liveries will show the custom tail number in the cockpit, but it won't show on the exterior textures as the registrations are part of the liveries.

    @DxMarovitch Thanks for confirming. The logic behind the 'Custom' livery logic is fairly simple and it just looks for the custom 'Tail Number' that has been inputted into the MSFS Main Menu prior to the flight, so this sounds like there may be some conflict with another mod that could be causing the issue.

    Try renaming your Community folder to something like 'Community.old' and then create a new Community folder called 'Community in its place and install the Tomahawk into it. Then with only the Tomahawk in the new Community folder load a flight in the 'Custom' livery and see if the tail number displays correctly. If it does, then the issue must be a conflict with one of the mods in the 'Community.old' folder.

    Is it reliant on the "title" line in the aircraft.cfg not being changed to something else? I changed it for FSEconomy to recognize it. Wondering if changing the title is the problem.
