Well I finally finished downloading X-Plane 11 from Steam. I was able to compare this freshly downloaded version on Manjaro, with the one I’d been using on Linux Mint and learned a lesson. Based on other airports I used, I wrongly assumed that something was wrong with KDEN (Denver International Airport). If I had to give a new X-Plane simmer any advise, as not much more than a beginner myself…it would be. Start your flying at KDEN , because it only gets visually better from there. I had previously flown from a few (maybe 10-20) other airports so when I flew from KDEN I assumed something was wrong…because it was so sparse. Where are all the trees? Why does the airport and very large surrounding area look like it was the testing ground for Roundup weed & grass killer? By comparison all the other airports I had flown from were visually much nicer. How could the 5th busiest US airport, KDEN surrounded by mountains in Colorado look worse than the 18th busiest US airport and the surrounding area in my flat home state of Florida, KFLL (Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International)? Well it does, and that’s just the way it is!
