Un-Bork the BORT!!

[Captain Orso]

In every other aircraft I've flown in DCS, and there have been a few... okay, very few, but still, on all other aircraft AFAIK, what you enter into TAIL# is what the BORT is, or at least the first 3 characters, IN THAT ORDER and not transposed backwards.

 

I know that the TAIL# characters are put to the end of the airframe# to make each 'possibly' unique, and that's fine. Nobody cares which airframe numbers are displayed, but they DO CARE about the BORT numbers and will very often try to put them into a logical order, like 010, 020, 030, 040 etc., so that you can look at an aircraft and know which on that is, which is the whole point of the BORT numbers.

 

Please, do NOT transpose the TAIL# for the BORT, but let them display as they are entered. You can transpose them for the airframe numbers, or mix them up with an algorithm, or set randomly generated digits in - no one will care, because no one pays attention to them. But they DO pay attention to the BORT numbers.

 

Thank you.

+1 would be really appreciated, especially as BORT No. is used to sort MP flights.
