Atc_id from aircraft.cfg is not used any more

Version: 1.1.7.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Low

Bug description:

I don’t see a way for the aircraft to use the default atc_id value as defined in the livery FLTSIM section in aircraft.cfg. This was mainly used for real world liveries to display correct registration number without additional action from the user.

In the old simulator if the Tail Number field was left blank in the UI, the default id from aircraft.cfg
was used. So the user had a choice of using default number or his own customized one. But in the new sim this field cannot be left blank, it requires at least one letter input, which forces the custom reg numbers.

I’m posting it here in case it’s a simple UI bug and not a conscious design decision. Low priority, obviously.
