Dutch airports
cuevision:
Please Hnia
Speak for yourself! You do not know how many Dutch people realy want to buy it!
Perhaps a poll would give more results than screaming around.

Well, I never said that. In fact, I've said that Cloud9 EHAM, in its time, HAS been a very good seller. I don't think any other Dutch airport would probably work for us, other than EHAM, though. So, if we'll ever do a Dutch airport, it will EHAM for sure, but this doesn't mean we have anything planned right now.
We have a large, unannounced, US airport in the works, but it's going to be a surprise...

Do you have a ballpark estimate when you will announce the airport?

When it's finished and ready to be released, and (hopefully) in 2014. There's no more precise date right now.

Thanks for your comments on this, Umberto.
In my opinion, it would be a good strategy to follow along with the real-world developments that are in progess at the airport right now (like you did with KLAX). It is scheduled to be completed next year, somewhere in 2015 if everything goes according to plan. By that time, the current Mega Airport Amsterdam addon will be pretty much outdated: in terms of graphics, performance and representation. Access to the airport would be no problem at all, the authorities are not very strict and a lot of people from the community either have access to the airside or have connections with those who do.
I also see a market for an FSDT version for professional flight simulators. They are quite a lot of training facilities here is Holland that are currently using FSX/ESP/P3D with the dreaded Mega Airport Amsterdam addon. I think they would be interested as well.
EHAM is a very popular destination among the community: for locals, other Europeans, but also as a long haul destination from the states. The fact that EHAM has a very steady representation in the IVAO Top 5 active airports supports this further.
I really hope EHAM will make it on the FSDT roadmap ;)
