I've whined, complained and posted about my perceived lack of X-Plane's support...but there's a very good chance I was wrong. The jury for me is still out. I've removed those posts, so I won't look any dumber, than I already look. I did say in my last post that I hope I was wrong and today it appears I probably am. I could have just deleted the comments and pretended I never said anything, but instead I admit I was most likely wrong.
The problem in a nutshell is that when my daughter moved near Denver, Colorado so I wanted naturally wanted to fly in that area. Somehow I became convinced I flew out of there a time or two and really had no thoughts about it. In later flights I was convinced something changed. In contrast to the other airports I've been at, even small ones , the area looked very sparse. I live in relatively flat South Florida, so I obviously fly around there often, and the much smaller than KDEN airports look nice.
Anywho, today I started googling KDEN photos and looking at YouTube videos about the airport. And guess what? The area is very sparse! Duh...why didn't I do that before? However I still find the statement there will not be a lot of buildings or roads automatically generated a little odd. Because I would think, as the US's 5th largest airport there would have to be a lot of cars driving around there. Why isn't there more vegetation around the airport? It opened in 1995 so it's 25 years old. Hey KDEN hire a landscaper and plant some trees. At the very least it would be good for the environment.
There are a few more things I want to do before I put this issue to bed. Over the last few days I've already downloaded 40+GB out of 55+GB of X-Plane 11 on my new Manjaro install. So I still want to do a few visual comparisons between the two. I still find those two large squares you can see way above the earth, odd. Denver is, from what I've read, about 23 miles east of the airport, so I want to go there to look at the city.
So I've more than likely stopped myself from further learning and enjoyment with this sim for maybe 9+ months because I was convinced I was right. And bonus I've forgotten many of the things I've previously learned. So as Emily Litella would say... Never mind !
