Nach intensiven Überlegungen haben wir uns entschieden, die Entwicklung von Paris für MSFS einzustellen. Lest hier das Statement des Entwickler-Teams zu den Gründen.
Many of you have been waiting a long time for an update on the development of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Today, we do have news to share, but unfortunately, it isn’t positive.
With a heavy heart, we must inform you that development of the Paris project has been suspended indefinitely. This decision was not made lightly. We have already invested a significant amount of time and effort into this product, which makes this especially disappointing for us.
The reason for this decision is not a single issue, but rather a combination of factors that currently prevent us from achieving the level of quality we expect from our products. These include limitations in access, reference gathering, and the overall conditions required to accurately and sustainably develop an airport of this complexity.
As a smaller team, we also need to carefully balance our available resources and focus them where we can deliver the best possible results. Given the current situation, continuing development under these constraints would not meet the standards we set for ourselves.
As demonstrated in our most recent release, Stuttgart, we have significantly raised our standards in terms of detail and overall quality. Looking ahead, especially with the MSFS24 platform, we are committed to continuing to improve this level across all future releases. For an airport like Paris Charles de Gaulle, which is highly complex and continuously evolving in real life, meeting these standards requires the right conditions, reliable references, and, in some cases, direct access.
While it is sometimes possible to develop an airport without these elements, in this case, they are essential for us to deliver a product we can truly stand behind, both now and in the future.
Why was Paris announced in the first place?
At the time, we were in promising discussions and were confident that the necessary conditions would be met. Unfortunately, that did not materialize as expected. We believe in being transparent and honest with our community, which is why we are sharing this update openly.
Is there a chance development will resume?
Absolutely. We would love to continue working on Paris in the future. We will keep exploring opportunities to move the project forward, and if the situation changes, we will reassess. As always, you will be the first to know.
What happens now?
While we cannot deliver our version at this time, we would like to highlight the work of other talented developers currently working on Paris Charles de Gaulle:
Thank you all for your continued support and understanding.
