😳 That really is a magnificent shot. Yes you do see the "jaggies" on the starboard wing but overall it's super looking.
Probably one of the best overall (detailed) looking shots I've seen.

I have equally as good screenshots, but mine rarely get posted for whatever reason.

I must be missing something. I don't think it is anything special.. The detail in the addon scenery is superb for sure, but the airplane is pretty average.

The scenery looks like a satellite image. The airplane does not look like
it took off from the airport that is visible. Is is possible that the plane image has been superimposed on a satellite image to make a nice photo?

I did an analysis of the picture. It is definitely FS9. Probably MegaScenery SoCal. Here is why:

1. The sun angle on the plane and ground objects agree.

2. From that angle, it appears to be mid-morning in summer.

3. There is no traffic on the roads or airport.

Anyone who knows LAX, knows #3 is impossible. 😉
