That's pretty hard actually. Where those pics downsized to make them look real? Or more real? The grass on the last pic looks very flat. However the MD-11 looks pretty good. Hmmmm difficult.......

It' from FS.
How do I know?
Well take a look at the runway lights on tha last pic. In real life, those side lights are NOT located on the actual grass, but on small pylons on the concrete curb.

I'm sorry, but even if you didn't include that last pic, I'd still say it's from FS.
The first pic is from the default b737-400. And as an avid 737 fan, it's easy to see differences between the FS panel and the real one.

1) The FS panel lacks the autopilot/Autothrottle indicator lights

2) The MCP panel is not really accurate

3) night lightning will give the cockpit a warm yellowish color, not grayish

4) The gauges lay out is not correct in FS

5) Ligh test switch is missing in FS

And this is just the differences between FS and newer 737-400 panels. The first 737-400 panel layout differs much more from FS
;D

what would you say when you didnt know where the lights next to a runway or gauges in a 737 were?
I got more but on those you cant tell it from a real one because the bad resolution. I will post those later when i feel like imailing them to my computer ;)

Then I'd probably say that the cockpit pics were real. Taken by a jump seat passenger with a laptop and webcam  ;D

Yep. If I hadn't read the replies I'd have voted "real".
Bad pictures, but real.
As they are I think they are great shots because obviously it's the little details that give it away, not the overall appearance. Quite a leap from FS5......

Well done donnieboy

I would have said real too if I had not read the replies  ;D

I can tell that you were approaching schiphol runway 6 in the fist picture!
