"Bornholm Island 2011 is fully compatible with popular payware add-ons like FS Global or Ultimate Terrain.
If you have Scandinavian Airports 1 from Aerosoft installed, there are some Bornholm-bgls of course and it's easy to grab them out (with the names Bornholm and EKRN) however there are also some exclude files left with the names exc*.bgl and they lead to flickerings on our Roenne airport.
Danish Photorealistic VFR Scenery could impact our product too – there are some windmills on Bornholm included."
