I always buy directly from the vendor unless I have to use market place

I was in the boat of buying from the marketplace so that the percentage Microsoft takes keeps supporting development and the infrastructure MSFS requires.
With all the problems in the Marketplace on releasing items, and not having simple things like an itemized receipt, I will be buying directly from the developers moving forward.
I really don’t get what the hold up is in the pipeline at Microsoft.

I have the Flightbeam’s KDEN airport and after the last MSFS hotfix I cant fly from or to KDEN because I have a CTD the 100% of the times!!!
I cant even fly close to KDEN because then I have a CTD!!.. and its like this ALWAYS 100% the times!!!
Sorry to say if you bought it from the Market place then your KDEN is 2 versions behind, Just like mine was. I just bought it again, Its a major airport, I fly in that area a lot, Now we have the AWESOME NGX from WT/ASOBO flying to some of the more remote airports in Colorado and the surrounding states under IMC is possible. So I bought it again, from Contrail…

I would try to uninstall and reinstall KDEN. I can’t figure this out. When a new sim update is coming I thought documentation was shared with vendors on what is being change so they can work on a update when the Sim Update is released. Maybe not. I see a lot of CTD in a lot of post

Yes, I bought it from the market place 
its not fair that asobo doesnt update the products that were bought through the market store in the sim.
Now I understand why I always have a CTD in KDEN, its one of my favorite airports but Im not going to buy the scenary again. I will wait for the proper update.
I will try, thanks for the advice 
Hi all,
I’m sorry to hear about the CTD issues at KDEN. We have indeed sent an update to Microsoft in MID-JULY to resolve the upcoming SU5 issues (we had early access). It’s now mid-August and still no word on the update being published. Same thing with our other airports.
The product is updated and fully functional with SU5. I highly recommend purchasing directly from the developer as you get updates the same day they are released. Expect around a 2 month wait if you purchased from the Marketplace. Other developers along side have complained about this and it doesn’t seem like it’s getting better. On top of that, we get a significant slice of royalties taken off each marketplace purchase.
If you want to see the full list of benefits of purchasing directly, see our blog post about this mess here: https://www.flightbeam.net/post/msfs-marketplace-update-big-delays
This situation really frustrates me as it makes it look like the third party developers are lazy and not updating their products, but it’s the complete opposite. We’re getting 1-star reviews in the Marketplace and it’s simply not fair.
Thanks for your support

Thanks for posting this. I totally understand, and I am just as frustrated as you are in regards to this. The Scenery is amazing and priced nicely. I am annoyed I have had to buy it twice now, but I am happy to support such good devs!
MS Really need to stop this! I have been saying this for a long time, that all this does is hurt dev’s, the platform and the community. I expect I will be able to fly my $50 or $60 worth of carendo planes in a few months for about a week and then another update will break them, and so the cycle begins again!

I have the latest update from Contrail app and the Sim will not load at KDEN and landing there does go to CTD so I need to try uninstall and reinstall and make sure the KDEN default is not loaded.
I see one problem that the default asobo KDEN is in the official folder. I deleted the folder asobo KDEN and installed FB Kden from Contrail. When I started the sim, the update installed the asobo KDEN so after the update I deleted the folder again. When selected the Plane and FB KDEN and it loaded fine and did not crash when I took off. So the updater installs it when when that folder is missing. In the past we could remove the asobo KDEN in Content Manager but that is gone.
What I was trying to do is trick the updater thinking it was there but I could not find a way so I guess we need to wait for a fix hopefully in the next update.
Update: I delete the asobo -DEN, Installed FB KDEN. When I ran the sim the updater installed the asobo KDEN. I am able to land and take off at KDEN, but I cannot Set the start airport at KDEN when setting up a flight (I just enter the departure airport) because after I click to load the flight the sim hangs. So I have to crash out. (as a side note the default asobo KDEN has the same issue) So my work around is not start from KDEN.
Try not to just delete the folder for asobo KDEN, delete it through content manger while in game! Then close the game and delete the content.xml in Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache folder. Launch the game then let it load then exit the game. Install KDEN through contrail. Reboot PC then launch the sim, try FlightBeam KDEN then. I haven’t had any CTDs with the current 1.0.7 version of FlightBeam KDEN.
Yes, for me as well when SU5 came out it installed KDEN again and I had to uninstall it again.
Also if you have the Colorado springs from flightsim.to if it is not the latest version, and it also relies on libraries that need updating.
So I would remove everything and just try with Flightbeam KDEN

Thanks I will try that. Do not have KCOS so that is ok What I liked before SU 5 was going in and removing anything that was not needed. Maybe this was a xbox reason, I don’t know. There are aircraft that show up I do not fly, like the C152 but that is ok.

Glad to hear that; are you all aware of the bug affecting KPDX where the ILS for RWYs 10/28 are not working?

I am really happy to hear it works. But just be careful. even 10 or 15 miles away from the Airport you can get a CTD. the With version from the in sim store. Like really fly a 25nm wide circle around it first just to check.
that is what it did so trying your solution now
that is what it did so trying your solution now, the problem I get is the asobo KDEN is not listed in the Content Manager as installed or uninstalled.
Is this something @Jummivana or @SeedyL3205 could help us address with Asobo? Seems like this is a continuous issue.

I just need to change the status to inactive (set to false) in the content.xml. I can start from KDEN but not sure I can get too far or land without CTD. There is no uninstall for asobo KDEN. I have the exact same problem with FSDream KORD. So whatever they did in the last update, they prevent some users of removing conflict airports. In my case I cannot start at KDEN or KORD because the asobo default airport for these 2 are in conflict with 3rd party, at lease these 2. I am going to see if FlightBeam or FSDreams has any suggestions and test fly with the defaults from asobo disabled
Update: so this seems to fix the issue for me. I flew in and out of both KDEN and KORD quite a ways and no CDT
Not sure if I misunderstand you but Adobo KDEN is listed in the Content Manager and can be uninstalled. It’s part of a package bundle, so you have to change the filtering at the top right (to the left of the words “Sort By”) from packages to list view and then you’ll see Asobo’s KDEN and/or KORD and uninstall them individually.
