I only wanted to  express that we should not provoke the law when it is not 
necessary. Like it is the case when texturing airplanes.
Take a look at Microsofts FS2004 they don't use real airline names
on their airplanes either.


In other words, when we want to simulate a Boeing 747 we have no other
chance to model such one, but when we want to
make the Boeing 747  look good and realistiv we don't need to call that one 
Lufthansa.
