It bothers me that half the sponsors are in danish, I understand some of them if translated properly would be existing companies (e.g. Scandinavian Airlines) but wouldn't there be a way around that like e.g. calling it Scandinavian Airways.

Just seems to ruin the immersion a tad imo.

Scandinavian Airlines is a company, companies are NEVER translated.

Well. Wrong. That happens all the time. For example, a company like Dansk Beton wouldn’t exist anywhere outside Denmark cause no one would have a flying clue what they do.

If you don’t believe me I’ve attached a link with 28 brands that use different names in different regions.

Plus Scandinavian airlines isn’t even a sponsor in VMAN? My point was that Skandinaviske Luftlinjer couldn’t be translated to Scandinavian Airlines but instead could be translated to Scandinavian Airways or Airfares to stay out of copyright trouble.

It makes no difference at all whether the sponsors are Danish or not. It makes no difference to the gameplay whatsoever.
