Same problem here. City Update 10 decided to reinstall the default Asobo KDEN & KSFO (Premium Deluxe version). I uninstalled those, but still have lack of detail outside of the main terminals. I am using MSFS 20, DX12, PG on, MS store version

Glad I was able to find this topic, I see the same thing and am being driven nuts by it!

Any plans for flightbeam to update kden to align with the new data? Ita ridiculous we pay money for these airports and they dont get updated with the sim.

Ground textures are screwed with or without Flightbeam’s KDEN. It’s on Asobo to fix it.

Devs have to align their airports to bing imagery updates since they can shift in some places. I’ve got about 30 or so airports that I’ve done myself that I’m about to start updating due to the new world data in sim update 16.

I’m just discovering this today. Everything looked fine around terminals but as soon as I head towards the runway the ground lose all details.

Question. Are the ground textures streamed or are they stored locally?
And the does the Enhanced Airport Graphics addon have any effect one it?

Hey apparently it’s now fixed in latest beta build (both 2020 and 2024). Phoenix PG is also back. Don’t forget to install both CU 10 and 11. Enjoy!

Just discovered this myself. I haven’t been to KDEN in a while, so thought I’d take a flight in. Landing on 34L was a blurry mess! I just purchased the X-CODR version on sale, too, and I thought that was it. Glad to know it wasn’t, and that this will be addressed in SU16. I don’t do beta, so I’ll have to wait a bit I guess.

Hello Folks. Thought I’d add my experience with this issue. I have the exact same issue. At first Ik thought it was X Codr, but after extensive testing, realized it was more basic. I tried the Asobo version of DIA, no change. Emptied out the community folder and tried again. Same issue. Uninstalled the city 10 update, nothing. At any rate, after realizing this was an Asobo issue I found the threads here. So while the problem persists, I found that the textures are actually there. They are clearly seen in the synthetic vision of the G3000. Incidentally, I’m on the beta and the problem persists. Hope this gets fixed soon.
