A few days ago I posted a few pictures on twitter and quoted Iberia, the spanish airline, because I was using their livery. I did not hide the pictures were from MSFS and they asked me to use one of them in the ir social networks, to which I agreed, it was a great honor that they liked it.
Turns out that apparently they thought the picture was real life and not MSFS xD Says a lot about how good this platform looks! Now I don’t have the courage to tell them xd
@Hugothester - How did you capture those images? They are very nice. Congratulations on being asked to share them by the real airline. That must feel good.
Many years ago, a friend created an FSX airport for a Middle Eastern country and released it as freeware. He discovered a couple of months later that on the official website of the real airport, they used screenshots from the FSX scenery… I would imagine if the airport / scenery is created for MSFS today, the airport’s website admins or Marketing team would simply save money and stop sending photographers to grab real photos from the airport
