Changing Tail Numbers

Hi,

I missed payment on one of my planes, got it repossessed, got it back, but the problem is, there's now a gap in my fleet's tail numbers. For example, the plane repossessed was N003CAE, then was re-obtained but given the tail number N004CAE, meaning that now N003CAE belongs to no aircraft, and it's kinda bugging me a bit. Is there any way to remedy this?

No.

The registration of the tail is automatically assigned and you cannot change it.

In Airlinesim, some countries "re-use" the tail numbers, and some do not. USA is one of the countries that does not reuse tail numbers in AS.

I asked Martin once about it and it was some technical reason. I do not remember it now nor understood the explanation at that time, but let's just leave it at that - for some countries, the reason tail numbers are not reused, is a technical one. I have seen tail numbers being re-used in countries that use letters designation instead of numbers (e.g. XX-ABC instead of N000XX).

Why can’t you change it

Why are they given and can’t make them or can you in the nickname part?

tail numbers are based on national regulations.

and you can give aircraft nicknames

OCD anyone?
