Airplanes\' name

EHM-1612 Paolo:
During last long fly-in I noticed that my 767 had the name Hawking on his right side, less then 5m behind the cabin's glass. I know that Hawking is a famous physic and I noticed also that other airplanes have other names.
For example the 747 has the name Einstein, the 737 Bolyai, the A340 Beethoven, the A320 Chopin....and all the other EHM ( excluded divisions and FA) have different names. It is very nice and I would like to know if it is possible to change it on my FS....
Another question... ;D
We say that we have 30 "747" in our fleet, why can't we give them different names?? I know it is a stupid thing respect to other big problems, but it is only a suggestion..
Hope you like this idea,

EHM-0654 Murray:
Paolo,

Great idea, but I think Robert will want to kill you slowly over a number of days for mentioning it out loud... ;D

The names on all our fleet are "static"; they are a part of the paint scheme of the airplane and not "external". If we were to have all 30 744's with individual names, there would have to be 30 different paint schemes to download, or 30 in a single "package" (Microsoft, probably a bit late, but Paolo has a point here...)

EHM-1612 Paolo:
eheh I know that managment want my head just like the letter "O" of Chopin's name on the new livery :)
I am a pilot of EHM so I can explain my suggestions that are a little interesting and can make the company develop ( I know that the aircraft's name is a bit stupid but it is always a suggestion...:>  ) because I think that 140 and more pilots can be a great help to produce new ideas and to see EHM growing. So everyone that has a stupid suggestion too with  some good ideas must tell it in the forum.... This is my opinion, because I think that this forum help a lot under this aspect too.
Hope to see your answers and new names for airplanes ;D ,

EHM-1343 Jonathan:
in the MT, we have decided to use modern names for our liverys now, like Madonna for instance.

However, each tail ID cant have its own name
imagine the size of a file with all the textures for 30 747's, each with a different name...

In lots of fleets, the flagship aircraft are the only ones with names, or only a select few!...

Sweet idea though, One I have personally enquired about!

EHM-1671 Ben:
I would most likely kill myself slowly before ever flying a plane named 'Madonna'.

But more to the point: I think there is a very real bond between pilots and their aircraft, especially if the aircraft were individually named.

But as already mentioned, the file size would be HUGE. Great idea though Paolo, don't be ashamed to post it on the forum!!
