What happened to AI Livery?

MSFS2024
When at an airport (UK) I’m seeing (British Airways - BAW) aircraft with Easyjet liveries, also seeing other nations liveries that you’d not expect as they are local to the country, like Sprint.

Nothing matches or comes even close.

Why not bring on a 3rd party to do this correctly. FSLTL etc

Seem to remember Jorg stating how proud they were at people and animals being located in the correct parts of the world and people looking and wearing the correct cloths again for the part of the world you see them in, great…

It’s a shame the same can not be said for aircraft & liveries :frowning:

Just started at Heathrow to find AI aircraft types and liveries all messed up, couple of examples.
Light Aircraft parked on Heavy Gate
B737 with Sprint livery
BA aircraft with easyjet livery.
etc etc

MSFS Is good, but what makes it great is 3rd party support. If MS/Asobo can’t get AI aircraft correct, let third parties in to cover, free up more time for core issues.

Either way, hope this is covered in next live discussion and fixed soon. Really kills immersion.

Animals are not correct either, I have seen a screenshot with Alpakas between the runways at EDDF and I had deer in Van Nuys airport when I did my PPL.

Have yet to see an animal. I would be happy with migrating birds…. But nope.

You have livery’s? All i see is airbus logo’s, and the old 2020 angled aircraft….

… and in a “Flight Simulator” none the less. Makes zero sense to me.

Thinking about this more…
in 2024 I get good liveries of players in Vatsim, when I use vPilot and a VRM file (with FSLTL or FS Traffic)

Why not have a setting where “in game” we can use a VRM file to show the correct liveries for both players and AI traffic ?

Haven’t seen any either. Just went back to 2020 with all my ‘birds’ add ons and was like hey-wildlife!

Any livery they add to the sim they’ll need to get permission from company that owns the airline. They can’t just add them willy nilly. Using community made ones would be out of the question.

Jorg talked about it in a past Q&A that it’s a long process to get it done.
