Logos are based on flight number. Some crews do not enter the correct flight number (ICAO code) on the transponder/FMS so the application will not properly decode the airline name/logo.

Steve - You'll see in the logos folder that almost all files have a three-letter name.

However, Air France so often use AFnnn instead of the AFRnnn that they should be using, that there are AF2.bmp, AF3.bmp files etc to get round the problem. You could do the same thing with BA... where it should be BAW... .

The only exception is AF1, which is used by the US president. So unless you do anything about it, AF1nn flights also give the Air Force One logo.

That's quite a scary concept when you think about it isn't it?

I mean if the dyslexic(?) crew can't get a simple flight number correct it makes you wonder what else could get screwed doesn't it?
