This add-on to me does not look much different than the version released years ago, and in some cases worse. Performance went from 26fps at FSDT's KLAS to 11 at KDEN when I was on approach which is not something I consider usable. Shame since I'm a Denver native and really wanted to like it.

Yeah I agree to some extent. If it was around $15 dollars I would probably go ahead and get it, but $30 seems a bit high for that quality. I never had the version for FS9, but I dont doubt that it doesn't look much different. In fact, I had their TJSJ for FS9 and now also for FSX and the FSX version looks about the same quality as the older FS9 version. It's almost like they just ran the FS9 models thru Arno's models converter program and repackaged it for FSX since the textures are fairly low resolution.
Hopefully this version doesn't keep FSDT from considering this airport at some point in the future after they finish their existing projects and updates to the older stuff. Frankly I wouldn't mind an FSDT version of KATL as well since the Imaginesim version is kind of old looking also.

well i got it and it looks really good for what it is, fps are the same for me so if you are losing fps at kden then it has to be on your end i would think. anything beats the default lol, and good luck with klax if you can't fly in to kden smooth, i have fsdt klas,kdfw,kord,kfll , and i think one more, i lose fps alot when at any of them, and yes i have a oretty good system 2600k 8gb of ram 480 gtx 320 vrap for fsx only win7 64bit. but anyway good luck.

I have all the airports you list and all perform way better than what I saw at KDEN. Some have suggested that their performance is ok with airport vehicles turned off, which may be the case, but as I don't need to do that with any other add-on airport I have, I'm not doing it there either. Moreover, it just looks bad. Bad texturing on the ground, bad texturing on the terminal buildings, and yes, very bad performance. Better than default could come in the form of an improved afcad downloaded for free, but for a paware add-on I expect more. We have FSDT in part to thank for that. ;)

They've always done their demo versions that way, and while the flashing buildings are annoying, the demo is flyable. Demos from one certain developer are not, due to crash boxes on the runways.

Well, you can fly it if you want to. I wouldn't pay $2 for it!
