online and VA tailnumbers

[catskinroyale]

hi,

anyone know of a central repository for tail numbers for online/VA flying?

to add an extra level of realism I'd like to virtually register each
aircraft i fly. if there's a requirement i'll start a project up. anyone
have any ideas?

Most VAs use either their flight number or their pilot IDs as callsign.
TCA recommends the latter, to prevent two pilots flying the same route from
trying to claim the same callsign.

As in (for example) G-BMGT (this may not exist, random, apart from the G)?

er yeah. e.g. i want to register my mooney bravo and yak52 with unique G
reg for the UK or N for the US or whatever. just like in the real world.
or something like that anyway, but basically a database where u can
register urself or an alias and the a/c u 'own' and pick a real unused
number (i have sucessfully managed to hook into the CAA G-INFO database
and run arbitrary searches, so for instance my yak52 carries the
unregistered G-IMBO).

would be easy to do and maybe fun to run.
maybe...
