Rule 3.1 states “Marketing communications must not materially mislead or be likely to do so”. When considering whether business to consumer advertising is misleading, the ASA will take factors identified in the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPRs) into account, including how the average consumer will interpret the ad and whether it is likely to cause consumers to take a transactional decision that they otherwise wouldn’t have taken.
Marketing communications will be assessed on the overall impression they are likely to give consumers, as well as specific claims and images, so marketers should be mindful of the need to consider the likely interpretation of an ad as a whole, rather than individual elements alone.
An ad for a meal delivery service was upheld by the ASA because the image of the meals in the ad were not an accurate reflection of the meals which customers received (Parsley Box Ltd, 13 November 2019).
Only in the simming community, something like this is possible. Remember all those discussions about graphics downgrade in other games? The community went nuts and devs needed to explain themselves. Not in simming, there people still accept false advertising, graphic downgrading and incomplete and beta releases. I wonder, why?
But that answer doesn’t reflect the reality of the situation, because some of those watermasks were shown back in August and are still not in the sim now, in January, 5 months later. That’s a little more than “a few weeks or a month”. I wonder what the reasoning for making such false statements is that are easily disproved? I just don’t get it.
Not only is it still not in the game, but the few that did exist in the game have all been removed since the USA update. I don’t know if anyone noticed but all the locations I would fly around that had water masks like the the Bahamas and others are all gone. Sad really
I have installed the nvidea drivers from zero (remove all files using a program called DDU) i dont really know 100% if this was the reason, but now i see a nice tropical water in some zones of Bahamas and Dominican Republic, too nice , with differents blue colors mask (fly in clearly days )
@happygolucky32 thats crazy I was there recently and the ones I remember are completely gone. These are places I would fly around Bahamas that have been removed, atleast in my sim:
