There is a HUGE misconception among flight simmers what licensing by an aircraft manufacturer means.

It usually just means the authorization to use the company name, logo and real aircraft name - nothing else.

There are different license types available.  What you describe is a trademark license, but Boeing does also offer licensing that shares technical data.  Not exactly sure what technical data is needed for a gaming chair though.

To be fair the 787 cup holders are quite good, but the same can’t be said for the ridiculous sun shades.

A 300 million Dollar jet and I end up having to buy myself a set electrostatic slap on shades for 8 Quid off Amazon 

You are doing it wrong. You are supposed to stick a sunstrip across the front windscreens with yours and your other half's names on them, like it was a Ford Capri. It is also worth noting that the Whiskey Compass and those eye leveler things on the central pillar of most airliners make ideal mounting points for some furry dice. Any of these modifications are guaranteed to increase your cred on the ramp:

You definitely must have the fuzzy dice.  Over here in the states, we call them "fuzzy dice", not "furry dice". 😁  Maybe put chrome plated headlight eyebrows on the taxi lights too.

Some members are bent on continuing with insulting, ridiculous comments. Everything to be milked from this goat is in the bucket.  I've gone back and removed the unnecessary jabs at Boeing.

Keep it nice please.
