To be honest: Yes, according to international laws a lot of the content is indeed an infringement. It depends on each company how they react. Most companies won't say anything, but in the past there have been some. Red Bull is known here that they don't like to see their logo on things they aren't affiliated with. This means as I translated: Without their permission you are not allowed to use it- even it is just for your own pleasure. But the whole flightsim with MSFS, X-Plane, Fly! and FlightGear has grown so much, that the most companies won't say anything anymore. As I described already here on the list, some companies even likes this and see it as free advertisement; some just don't want to see no Virtual Airline using their name, but are o.k. with using the logo for a repaint.... If Red Bull wasn't known here for his strict view Oliver never had say anything. It is our own risk how we act.
