There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Haha we just go for the same liveries don't we? I love that livery! I think the tail number color could be edited I just can't recall how to do it.

Yeah, it has quickly become another favorite.
With the Cessna, I did a bit of experimenting - they say that with some of the aircraft you can change the color of the external registration through the Panel.cfg file, and that is the case with the Cessna 172 (the steam gauge version in this case).
After copying and pasting the Panel folder & panel.cfg file from the standard C172 into the Burgundy C172 repaint folder, I renamed it Panel.BURGUNDY and added it to the repaint's Aircraft.cfg file panel entry (Panel = "BURGUNDY").
In this new panel.cfg file, just for the Bugundy C172 repaint, I edited the last line of the .cfg file to read:
[VPainting02]
size_mm = 1024, 256
texture = $RegistrationNumber
location = exterior
painting00=Registration/Registration.html?font_color=black, 0, 0, 1024, 256
I then added the Panel.BURGUNDY/panel.cfg to the Layout.json (using the Layout.json generator, just to make sure it was done right)
Looks a bit better, I think. Not sure how far you can take it/other color options.

That is also the way to make the outside registration disappear (useful for repaints where you want the registration in another location), by setting the sizes to zero.
for instance:
[VPainting02]
size_mm = 0, 0
texture = $RegistrationNumber
location = exterior
painting00=Registration/Registration.html?font_color=black, 0, 0, 0, 0
for instance:
[VPainting02]
size_mm = 0, 0
texture = $RegistrationNumber
location = exterior
painting00=Registration/Registration.html?font_color=black, 0, 0, 0, 0
, just idea for MSFS
