Chudoba Design has announced the shutdown of its Antileak distribution system after nearly four years of operation, marking the end of an era for the Czech developer. Chudoba Design founder Filip stated that the platform had developed technical issues and was no longer viable for distributing its products.
For scenery activation (watermark) and secured download, Chudoba Design developed a tool called Antileak over the past four years. The system required customers to use an authorisation key and then be directed to the Antileak website, where they would enter the authorisation code to access purchased content. Filip explained that the platform had developed operational difficulties, sabotaging their work, which led to the decision to discontinue its use. Chudoba Design had originally considered offering Antileak to other developers and stores, but noted there was insufficient interest, further supporting the decision to discontinue the platform.
With its purpose-made distribution system unavailable, all future releases will be available through the X-Plane Store, SimMarket, and Payhip without additional protection or watermarks. Filip from Chudoba Design expressed confidence in the community that it will respect the developer’s work and won’t share files illegally, noting that a continued revenue stream was essential to ensure future development.
Chudoba Design was founded by Filip Chudoba in 2018, developing airport sceneries for X-Plane 11 and 12, with a portfolio spanning multiple continents. The developer has released Middle Eastern airports such as Taba International Airport (HETB) and Hurghada International Airport (HEGN). They also remade Prague Airport (LKPR) for X-Plane and released Bratislava International Airport (LZIB) and Jeju Airport (RKPC), which is the second-largest airport in South Korea.
