Besides servicing all of Denmark and the southern regions of Sweden directly; it functions as one of Scandinavian Airlines System's (SAS) major international hubs making it a vital transit airport in the Northern European region. 21.5 million passengers passed through the airport in 2008 making it one of Europe's 20 busiest airports.

This package features the complete Airport built in Gmax with photorealistic ground textures (Summer, night and winter variation) in a sensational resolution up to 0.6m/pixel.

Not only do you get a great airport for the money, but you also get a very nice SAS Airbus 319 (two models - one standard and the other a retro). OK, they are not CDU flown aircraft, but planning in FSX the old fashioned way using the GPS/NAV function (a la stock aircraft) will get you there. The aircraft is of very good visual quality. It has a functioning VC with good wing views as well.
It has virtually no impact on FPS as well.
For the money spent, you cannot go wrong. I'd snatch this up in a hurry if I were you because it's worth a heck of a lot more in my opinion.
I thought about buying the "other" EKCH airport sold here, but went with this after reading all the positive reviews and seeing that a free Airbus 319 came with it, I just had to buy it - I'm very pleased with my decision.
At 9 euro its only just passable. poorly rendered but a 100 times better than default.
The scenery is overall very nice. No doubt about that. But we are not talking WOW!-effects or like the best airport sceneries out there. However the price (€20) still indicates top of the market - which it ain't.
People that have been to Copenhagen will surely recognize the airport and there are many nice details. But again nothing out of the ordinary.
As I have understood this scenery is aimed at a very low impact on framerates. However I have struggled with blurry textures on buildings. I have mostly flown to and out of CPH so I have not looked around every corner of the scenery. There might be some eye candy hidden here and there. But overall a decent payware scenery. I got it at a reduced price so that tips me to 4 stars.
This airport scenery was a bit of a surprise to me, because the presentation and screen shots of it is quite dull here at Simmarket, so i waited a long time untill i finaly bought it. During my first tour around the scenery i got quite excited with what i saw, it really change the pitty FSX scenery to something quite pleasent for a PC-pilot to visit. I Know EKCH very well in real life, and i can only say, this scenery create the feeling of being there, you reqognize the airport and its functions. It is easy to se that the creator, Claus Vendelboe Holmberg has gone the whole lenght making it very detailed, and deserve full credit for it. Further an update with improved texture resolution are underway. I am truely pleased using EKCH, and recommand it.
Claus has really done an excellent job. His upport has been superb in my case being a new user of Windows 8 64

I am very satisfied as this product represent EKCH very closely to the real airport. Furthermore is is running very smoothely on my system. It is avesome to take a flight from eg. Bornholm to EKCH in low winter sun, building storms weather setting and then approach EKCH from the east.
I normaly compare my addons to the Aerosoft Mega Airports and have to say that this product in in same category or even much better.
Download Denmark scenery etc. from FSonline.dk and install it together with this product and you will be in the aviators heaven.
If you are running Just Flight TrafficX products you will have to delete their EKCH.bgl from inside their product otherwise you will discover some strange jetways misplaced at EKCH.
