Maybe we should use a fictitious name because
real names of companies etc. could be a trademark violation.
So to be on the safe side we shouldn't use real names at all.
This includes airline names on airplanes and company names on buildings in the fgfs scenery.
What is your opionion about this issue?
Did someone of you thought about that?
What is the legal status, what is allowed and what is not allowed?
I think this issue is way overblown. People have been modeling real liveries and buildings in flight sims from day one. If we go down this road, we will have copyright problems with Cessna for modeling a c172, problems with Boeing for modeling a 747, copyright problems with Norway for modeling Norway, copyright problems with God for modeling the world? Maybe we should have all fictitious aircraft, all ficticious terrain, ficticious planet radius, ficticious weather, fictitious cities, but then that's no fun. I don't think we should spend too much energy solving non-existant problems. If people want to create ficticioius designs, that can be fun too.
