At the beginning of this month, Flightbeam teased that a major update would be soon made available for Denver (KDEN) airport on FSX/Prepar3D. As of a few moments ago, that update was made available to the community. The new update from Flightbeam for Denver sees “[…] almost everything at its core has been updated for better performance and compatibility.”
One of the biggest changes is the inclusion of SODE jetways and also re-compiling the 3D assets of the product for P3Dv4 for the best possible performance. The overhaul also sees all the ground textures completely upgraded and also the inclusion of new optional wet puddles. A few other changes include changes to the ground markings to reflect a better representation of the actual airport, along with other fixes to some of the floodlights.
To install the new update, you first must uninstall the previous version of Denver KDEN by using the Flightbeam Manager. You will also have to re-download the FTX Global texture pack for Denver if that is installed (not the whole package of FTX Global).
This update is free of charge for existing users. If you haven’t yet purchased KDEN-HD Denver from Flightbeam, you can do so by heading to their store. It will cost you $29.99.
