Change pilot name? - Drawyah - 10-11-2016

Hey guys,

I've been wondering for a little while now, is it possible to change the name of a pilot? Likewise, is there a tool that somebody has made to edit pilot info (similar to the Pilot Resurrect one). 

As some of you may know, I have an FSPassengers series on YouTube where I've named my pilot 'Drawyah' as opposed to using my real name. Once I do get to the end of the series, I don't really want to scrap this pilot, but I will probably want to change his name once behind closed doors.

It's something that people have asked for in the past but to no avail - Could a future update add this? Or does anybody know their way around the pilot file!

- Drawyah

Hello sir,

This will answer the question:

Why not create another company with a pilot name you prefer?

I've put plenty of hours into this one and will continue to do so. I'm also going to keep my private life away from the channel, meaning my name and a 'face reveal' is not gonna happen from me!

Company name is fine, I like Drawyah Airlines, its just the pilot and the hours I'd like to modify! :3

I would say go into the db file and edit it, except its encrypted and im not prepared to get the software to go in yet

From the read me file within FsP:

"This is the database folder containing your
company, pilot and flights data.

Usually you should NOT mess with these files!!
You can copy them in a safe place regularly,
should you want to backup all your flight data."

In short, mess with the database files and you may have unwanted results.
