Is KDFW scenery still broke?

Featured Replies

I quit flying into KDFW several months ago due to the runway centerlines and such being blurry. Thought I'd try it again and am seeing that it's still there. Anyone else noticing this? Thanks

KDFW is still a bloody mess and the worst part is that no reputable developer has been willing to take on the project.  There are some files available on Flightsim.to to enhance it a little bit, but it is still messy.  I don't think there's even a GSX profile for it.  Shame as it is the second largest airport in the world and one of the top 3 in traffic.  Hopefully MSFS2024 will enhance it.

Sincerely,

KDFW is the 2nd largest airport in the world? What's the 1st?

King Khalid International Airport (RUH); second is Dallas and third is Denver.

Hotlanta isn't it?

Busiest yes but I think they're talking physical size.

I think LTFM probably ranks in there somewhere now too if you're counting square feet of pavement or miles of taxiway.

Just uninstall WU  X in content manager,  and that will fix KDFW.

Unfortunately the only developer working on KDFW is ImagineSim. They took a lot of heat for the incomplete Atlanta. They didn’t even add the new Taxiways or the update the Delta maintenance area. I’ve seen user get blocked off their Facebook page if they bring up Atlanta. I will definitely be avoiding any scenery made by Imagesim.

In size / territory?  King Fahd.....not King Kahlid.  KDFW is actually 3rd to KDEN

Ehhhh.  Sorry.  KDEN is twice the landmass of KDFW.  KDEN is almost 34,000 acres vs KDFW which is 17,000 roughly.

You are correct, it is Denver is number 2 followed by Dallas at number 3.

Yeah...yeah. But, when are we getting a KDFW? 😉

Srsly, MSFS has been out for years and we have riches in aircraft and other airfields and can't get a single KDFW. Silliness.

Infuriating.  Want some more fun?  Take a look at these default GA/regional airports:

KESN
KTNU     These are just some examples. At one time I had compiled a list of over 20 like these.
KCTJ

There are others and they have been brought to the attention of Asobo's deaf ears.  Praise heaven for freeware scenery developers! These three have been done and are available on TO.

Asobo?  Shameful after four years.

Where are the big boys for KDFW?  I believe I have (3) different payware KDAL airports (Dallas Love Field) as well as a payware Ft Worth Alliance (KAFW).  Houston Hobby and Bush Intl have both been done!

I’d rather have a high end Atlanta. But yes dfw needs a high quality replacement. I won’t consider purchasing imaginesim. So holding out on this one.

You don't need to uninstall all the WU X.

Only the “WU 10 USA - 3D Photogrammetry Cities”

Solved by Jummivana in post #177
Writing this for those that missed it: While we further investigate and fix this issue, as a workaround, you could uninstall “WU 10
USA - 3D Photogrammetry Cities” in order to fix the KDFW Ground texture issue temporarily.

 

That solve the problem to me.
