When we share a route between users of SD, the aircraft taken in the route is the one of the one who created it.
If you do not pay attention, the flight plan is filled with this aircraft data and not with the device that was defined by default in its own SkyDemon.

When the pilot asks by radio to the controller to activate his flight plan, the controleler announces that there is none ... but another with another registration.

I have already experienced this case several times with different pilots. Proof that the fault of annatention is very quickly committed.

Suggestion: would it not be possible to define a default airplane in our own library? Could SD display a warning message when opening a route or completing a flight plan with an aircraft other than the default one?

Thank you in advance.

High Tim,

thanks for the answer.
I don't really understand what you mean. Probably my poor english.

Sharing routes is verry nice and helpful for the users of SD. With a group of pilots flying with the same type of aircraft (and also other types) we do it verry regularly.

We are aware that when loading a route sahred by another pilot, the route also takes over the aircraft informations comming from the aircraft library of the person who created the route.
Despite this, it has already happened several times that a pilot forgot to change the aircraft type choosing his own aircraft from his own aircraft library.

At this time, if he sends his flightplan by SD, the aircraft ID filled in the FP is those used by the person who created first the route...and not the "default" one (or those I asked SD to give us the possibility to define as default in our own library).
In such a case, when you are flying and you ask at the first contact to the airspace controler to activate the flightplan, he answer that there is nos flightplan for this aircraft.....At this moment, you remember the mistake you made in SD by not changing the aircraft, but it is to late.

That's why I asked if SD could define a default aircraft in the library and show us a warning when we load a route and/or when we fill a flightplan with an other aircraft than this defined per default.

Many thanks for you rhelp.
