WRONG TAIL CODES - A320NEO
Hello Francis, what's up!? Hope you're doing great mate
I'm texting you as many people have noticed a quite "annoying" (excuse me for the term, it's to give the idea) thing involving some of your liveries. It may be seem as a banal aspect, but it's actually a really important one in terms of realism. And this simulator must be based on real features and fidelity, am I right? Especially your liveries, which have always been amazing!
What I'm taking about is the WRONG TAIL CODES applied to some of your liveries. I'm talking about the A320neo, both V1 & V2, but especially the V2.
I've selected all the ones that have codes which refer to aircrafts who have been grounded, not used for months and months.
Having the right tail codes is EXTREMELY important for many simmers, as we refer to the tail codes to choose which flight we will do, So, please, keep an eye on it & apply changes if possible !!
I'll post all the aircraft's, liveries and codes that l've noticed to be wrong / old / not used anymore, after a precise research made via FlightRadar24 & RadarBox.
Now, the question is: will you make changes about this and improve these kind of stuff!?
I don't know if you have the chance to do it, but l'd like to receive an answer (whether is YES or NO, it's just to know what to expect).
Here’s the list:
- Aegean Airlines (SX-NEO)
- Lufthansa (D-AIJE)
- TAP Air Portugal (CS-TVK)
- Vueling (EC-NIY)
- Wizz Air (HA-LJA)
- Vueling "Eurovision 2022" (EC-NDC) - the code is right, but the painting now is the classic one of Vueling, although the Eurovision one is very cool, but unfortunately is not used anymore 😫
Thanks a lot & excuse me !!
Francis @LeadDeveloper2024-06-19 21:22:33.884ZWe spoke on Facebook about this.
So, when these planes were painted they were part of the fleet and actively flying. Knowing what aircraft is grounded is time consuming for us to be changing registration. Today D-AIJE is sitting in her living room watching TV and tomorrow, unexpectively she's summoned to the tarmac.FYI,
There's an update for hangar 5 which has D-AIJA (active registration).
To be on top of active liveries and registration and constantly changing them is something that perhaps YOU can be in charge of for BravoAirspace?
This way we can possibly add and change registrations but it's not guaranteed we can start that.I think just having the right aircraft is more important than anything else but I think we all play MSFS differently. Yet, your passion is admirable. And so I understand you.
Let's go down your list,
SX-NEO?
What if we update the registration and the same day its released the plane starts flying? So it will be like a constant update?
D-AIJE
What if D-AIJA is ground in two week (both planes now in Hangar 5?)
Do you get me?
We can update these registrations, but the future is unknown.
We will do it but I can't say when they will be updated.Also, doesn't hangar 5 have a second Vueling?

Dear Francis,
Thank you so much for your response. It proves once again (even if it’s not needed) that u guys are the best. My gosh how much I wish you could work with LVFR for the paintings 😍😍 ahaha
That being said, I completely understand your point of view.
I know we spoke about this on facebook, but I wanted to write things down in a clearer way and referring to all the codes I noticed.I’m so happy and excited about the coming updates!!
About the Vueling, yes exactly, there are two; what I was referring too is the “Eurovision” one, which had a super cool livery but right know it’s painted with the classic colors. Anyway, that livery is too nice, so it’s good if u keep it as it is 🤣
Francis @LeadDeveloper2024-06-24 14:45:44.612ZYes, let's keep the Vueling and update the other aircraft. No problem. Please keep us up-to-date with active registrations.

Dear Francis,
Yes, thank you so much!
I was just noticing that the Wizz Air livery (HA-LJA) shows with a grey symbol on FR24. I’m pretty sure it’s been put out of fleet. Because, for example, when it comes to the ones we talked about, they still have a picture on the app, so it probably means they’re under maintenance atm. But the Wizz Air one is probably gone forever 😂- Francis @LeadDeveloper2024-06-25 18:17:28.025Z
roger that.

Mate, just a question. Are some of ur hangars gonna update tonight? I heard from a guy from a Facebook group that there are some updates including yours, but I cannot see them right now. For example he has already downloaded the hangar 5 A320 v2
- Francis @LeadDeveloper2024-06-26 23:38:59.727Z
yes, there should be some updates, not sure when MS will apply them.
New liveries, refined fixes.
If I had time, I would mod the aircraft.- MMowlly1000K @Mowlly
Hello Francis, thank you for the update of the pack 5 j would also like to point out that the easyjet G-UZHC livery has more of the Neo sticker if you can just modify the license plate with an aircraft that will actually be a touch of realism supoHello Francis, thank you for the update of the 5 pack j would also like to point out that the easyjet G-UZHC livery has more of the Neo sticker if you can just change the license plate with an aircraft that will actually be an extra touch of realism ☺️

Oops! Gotcha. It's fine. It's easy to fix them now that they are all uploaded. Thanks for the heads up.
