Okay...since I have gotten quite a few requests for this, I am posting the
uuencoded Denver scenery file.  A few notes before you test drive it:

   1) It is a scenery file for the Aircraft and Scenery Designer.  If you
      don't have A&SD, you can't load or otherwise use the scenery.

   2) File size is right around 37900 bytes, so it's pretty large.  I
      wanted to keep it under 40000, so it may still grow some before
      the final Denver Sectional scenery is all released in a couple of
      months (hopefully...it depends on how quickly I can create these
      things).

   3) It does *not* require a scenery disk.  It runs on the default scenery.
      It *does* have quite a bit of detail in it, too.  Alsmost as much as
      you would see in a scenery disk.

   4) This scenery file covers a 30 NM radius around Denver/Stapleton
      International.  Four airports are done in detail, and a total of
      10 are represented.  Airports were placed according to NOS Terminal
      Procedure Charts, May 1991.  All ILS approaches for the airports
      are supported.  A listing of airports with ILS approaches and the
      respective frequencies and airport locations is given below.

   5) All data was created from the Denver VFR sectional, July 1992.  A
      little help from the Cheyenne sectional was used, too.  All interstates
      and most major highways are included, along with cities and larger towns.

   6) Accuracy is pretty good, though some fudging had to be done on
      mountains.  Don't expect perfect placement, but if something is
      grossly inaccurate, let me know.  The buildings are mostly my
      interpretations, since I have never been to Denver personally.  :)

   7) A bunch of VOR's are included...most of them that are in range of
      the Denver area.  If a VOR or ADF should be included, let me know.
      Some of the nav-aids (listed below) will be out of range.

   8) I colored the ground brown so you don't have to look at the default
      "filler" scenery (not a whole lot of farmland in Colorado).  I chose
      to set the ground elevation to 5333 feet, that altitude at Stapleton.

   I am looking for as input on the look and feel of the scenery.  I know there
are going to be many inaccuracies, so try not to be too picky, but point out
any obvious blunders so I can fix them.  But for the most part, I just want
to know if there is enough detail to keep people happy.
