Whenever I spawn in at an airport I'm under an invisible ground half-sunk in the water.
My OS is Windows 10, I am running FlightGear 2020.3.11 on a GTX 1650.

FG comes only with Hawaii and Island. All other terain must be downloaded. Best way is to turn on TerraSync to download on the fly.

You can enable automatic download of TerraSync scenery through either the FlightGear launcher (Settings page > Download > enable Download scenery automatically) or within FlightGear (Main Menu > File > Scenery Download > [X] Enable Automatic scenery download).

You might want to go for the previous stable release (2020.3.10) instead and see if that works, if it does, that would indicate a bug with the 2020.3.11 build, which preferably should be reported.

I've had this bug since 2020.3.6, so I doubt it will be fixed in that release.

that depends on the version... the latest version starts you in Iceland at BIKF, IIRC...

this is true
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

Can you verify that your downloading data? You can check for files at the location reported in the QT launcher Settings/Download section.
Kansas and Ohio/Midwest scenery development.

The Terrasync download may take some time. Leave the aircraft swimming in the water while you have a coffee, and try later.

Normally it downloads most basic things, e.g, the ground, taxiways, runways, etc while on the loading screen.
