If you follow, I mean the livery of one a/c type of one airline. In the case of Airlines, they typically have a production run of one livery per type (sometimes with tail variations) but generally, all of the registrations will be marked in the same location. I was thinking more about callsigns; if each AI aircraft is given a callsign, they could then take a registration from a pool (simple list) of correct registrations for their 'type' (ie: SqueezyJet 737) If a registration is taken by an AI traffic, the aircraft is given another from the same list. For airline fanatics, they could even help by providing 'flag-name' details for real-world registrations which would mean that: callsign: Speedbird 6 Recieves: Reg: G-CIVW and flag-name: City of Lichfield. Of course, this is both extreme and probably pointless when it comes to flag-names but it is the sort of thing that you could apply to textures using Imagemagick if the flag-names were pre-made.
