Hekla Aurora (Special Iceland Air livery) on the Boeing 757-200

Probably copyright… 🤷🏼‍♂️

They decided before the announcement, and it was before this got a ton of votes

Well I think we’re all aware this didn’t make the update. However, let’s set the example on the forum :) We might be slightly disappointed but take some items in perspective:

First, Infinite Flight used the 757 to include liveries from multiple countries that didn’t have any representation in the sim beforehand. Of course those combined with the necessary livery inclusions from major operators (Delta, United, American) would mean that two Icelandair liveries would be too much given the livery limits.

Second, we still have a fantastic common Icelandair livery that I’ll certainly enjoy flying :) The 757 really looks great in the blue and yellow of Icelandair!

Third, we’ve gotten some great support on this and I’m sure the developers haven’t missed it! Who knows, but there’s always the possibility of a future livery update.

Thanks everyone for your support over the last couple months! Enjoy this awesome update!

Please refer to @Rock77’s post :)

Each livery costs money to host, that only one reason. Having another Icelandair livery would be cool but also costs extra money.

The livery is also more difficult to create. The developers were on a limited time restriction to get it out before the Christmas holidays. There of course is still a chance it may come in a future update. Back in 2018 and ealy this 2020 we had a few A320 / 737 liveries added.

In this topic there was a explanation on why some livery’s couldn’t be added :)

I know, they dont represent much special airlines or liveyrs. Very sad, and makes my frustrated but maybe someday we will have a big change and Disney and star wars livery will all come in, who knows.

Probably not since copyright but you got other special liveries too yk

Disney have stricts copyrights, so Disney’s liveries won’t be add into the sim.
Anyway, I’m hopping for the addition of the beautiful Hekla Aurora in a 757’s liveries update. 😍

@Alex_Kraz and @nativetoalaska, I know, but someday when I.F. gets really really big, there could be a chance that they let IF use their liverys. But as of now, it would be copyright, I.F. is to small to get Disney to sponsor.

+1 Vote! I definitely would love to see this livery in the future for the B757. An absolutely stunning livery for an iconic plane.

This livery could be added since IF is adding new liveries now. Hopefully they do add it because this is easily the nicest looking special livery.

Thingvellir was the place for Iceland’s parliament, that’s what the livery was for btw

WOW!! This is a very BEAUTIFUL livery!!

Spotted this bird just now at ORD! Beautiful plane.

I am giving this a bump since this needs to be a livery that IF adds.
