Thank you, this was a great video. I've been searching all over to find out if I could use a code that is out of business, SGO. I downloaded the Iron Maiden livery and wanted to be called "Maiden 22". It was Cardiff Airlines out of Malta and uses the call sign "maiden", perfect!! Thought about using TWA too, because I live in St Louis. Been watching your videos, learned a ton, thanks. I've only done 2 flights so far, learning more each time I fly.
Yep, there's no problem using a defunct or even a fictional one! As for Iron Maiden -- last I heard, they were being transported in a 747 operated by Air Atlanta Icelandic, ICAO callsign ABD ("Atlanta"), and would fly "Ed Force One" under the callsign ABD666 ("Atlanta Six Sixty-Six"). There are even some videos from around 8 years ago on the VASAviation channel where you can hear them talking with ATC. Search "ABD666" on RUclips and many of them will turn up. I'm not sure whether that is more recent or more historic than Cardiff's tenure.
@@SlantAlphaAdventures The first plane was an A320 for the Somewhere Back in Time Tour, and it was registered to Astreaus Airlines, which later became UAE, and was for the EU part of the tour. It worked so well they changed to a 757 for the rest and later tours. You have the call signs correct, but I wanted to match my livery, just for kicks. Even using A6EDY for my tail. Don't think Cardiff was part of the tour, they just had the right call sign.
Excellent job, Rob. I just started flying American Eagle, and that's called Eagle Flight # on the radio - luckily I figured that one out before I logged on :)
@0_venix_0 basically, the answer is -- how strictly you wish to adhere to realism in that regard is up to you. certainly you MAY replicate a real-world route, and if you do, you MAY choose to use the corresponding flight ID. or, if you want to be seen as a British Airways jet and be called "Speedbird" something, but you wanna fly from an origin and/or to a destination that BAW doesn't really do (or maybe it's a route they do fly but you just wanna use a different number), you can use BAW plus a made-up flight ID.
@@Andrewfriablelogic51 what appears on your tail in-sim doesn't matter at all. are you flying in the US? if so, neither "CSKY51" nor "NXGS51" are at all realistic GA tail numbers. I encourage you to look at that "N-Number" page from the FAA in more detail.

So I doesn’t matter what the numbers are in airline call signs they just have to have the correct airline

So my current callsign is csky51 as a cessna skyhawk 172 i should probably change it to nxgs51 if thats what my tail dails
