KDFW is the second busiest airport in the United States with over 35 million flights per year. It is a shame that a quality developer like Inibuilds or one of the others hasn’t done a payware KDFW. It would be in high demand, and we wouldn’t be stuck with the sub-par Asobo version.

Agreed. Why no payware KDFW? seems like a no-brainer.

Just the sheer size of it eliminates most 3rd party devs. There’s only a handful capable of tackling DFW with its 7 runways and tram system that would need to be animated. I hope somebody takes it on one day. It’s easily #1 on my personal wishlist.
True, but FSDT has a payware version of the massive KORD with its 8 runways, so certainly they or Inibuilds could do justice to KDFW if they choose to do so. I guess they will have to determine if the potential sales would be worth the effort.

Of course they can. My point was that there’s only a handful of developers capable of a project of this scale. Those two you mentioned are certainly on that list.
I flew out of DFW yesterday. Nice airport but boring as all get out! At least Terminal E anyways…
I believe the existence of the Premium Deluxe version of KDFW that comes with MSFS has been an unintentional deterrent for other developers from stepping up to the plate. Hoping that changes soon. Moreover, I hope Gaya and Asobo prioritize the fix for this important airport.

They will get to it right after the CN Tower in Canada gets fixed.

I wanted to share this solution here from another similar thread. The information in this post fixed KDFW for me:

Hi.
it is impossible for me to take a taxi or use Denver airport because large level differences/bumps. see the attached pictures. Anyone else having the same problem?

I’ll say. I landed and taxied there last night so couldn’t see the bumps but could sure feel them.
I gave full throttle on the a320, but did not get up the hill. have never seen such big bumps at an airport before. Tried hard until the sim thought I crashed. A bit humiliating to crash on a taxiway

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
Yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
Terminal area sits on a plateau, making it impossible to taxi from the runway to the terminal buildings.

Yes, OMG thank you for reporting this, you can really mess up your plane if you happen to be taxing a bit too fast. See it in several places at KPHX too, and I fly back and forth between the two a lot. Really annoying, even though I know where to slow down to a crawl and pretend I’m doing a little off-roading adventure in my A320 Airbus. Really kills the realism factor for me
