Copenhagen Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator Still Coming Despite Alleged Attempted Buyout
Today Simnord posted about its Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup (EKCH), serving the capital city of Denmark. While we get to see a new screenshot, the developer reported something fairly interesting.
Apparently, there might be another rendition incoming. Simnord received an email from someone claiming to be the CEO of a bigger company with 20 developers, attempting to purchase the work done on the airport to use it in their own rendition of EKCH in a rather obvious attempt to remove “unnecessary” competition from the picture.
Luckily, Simnord declined the offer, so its version airport is still coming. It’s worth mentioning that a payware version of EKCH already exists by FlyTampa.
Competition is good, folks!
