While searching the Orbx forums to fix a problem I've created with my scenery install..........(smile) I stumbled upon this post!!! I'm glad to see this.......will bring back a lot of great memories. In fact......my standard flight was from Champaign, Ill., KCMI.....to Meig's field. It was during this time, I first found The Old Hanger and Bill Lyons and Tom's scenery of the old mail routes around Moline, Ill. Hmmmm.......good memories.......it will be like coming home!! Cheers, www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/102402-oh-my-god-orbx-and-dtg-brings-back-meigs-field/ |

You have to log in to read that - but I had heard that Meigs had been essentially destroyed. It would be brilliant if it could come back.

Sorry Nige.....I didn't realize you had to log in before reading this. Basically.....Orbx is releasing Meigs Field on Steam first.....then eventually through their web-site for FSX and Prepare 3D. The photo's look very good and it will be nice to have Meigs Field back once again!! Cheers, |

I was messing around a while back and found that my old Kai Tak scenery made for FS9 works in FSX SP1. Unfortunately, the cock ups that Aces made in SP2 rendered it and many other sceneries made by other developers unusable because of transparency and seasonal texture issues (the reasons I stopped designing sceneries) so as I updated finally to Acceleration, it fell by the wayside. But I had fun with it for a little while. I'm sure that others have made new ones since, but I do have a (small) claim to fame because I was asked for and gave permission for my old scenery to be converted for X-Plane.

My sole claim to fame in scenery writing was that I made Pancho Barnes' Happy Bottom Riding Club for FS2002 and FS9. It fitted in beautifully with Dennis Waggoner's Edwards Air Force Base scenery and I am quite proud of it. Also, despite uploading it only to Avsim and Flightsim with the usual caveats, I have found it on flightsim sights all over the world. Not bothered by that, though. The more people who enjoy it the happier I am!

Was Chicago THUGGERY that Done Meigs in...Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, made infamous in March 2003 when he ordered huge trenches dug across Meigs Field in the middle of the night, announced Sept. 7 that he will not seek re-election. Although the airport was closed and turned into a park...Never to return...Except in FS9,as it was the start up..Can be had for FSX,in some TWILGHT GHOST YARD SETTING ...but THATS ALL FOLKS...GONE!!.....Great Pics In attached! galleries.apps.chicagotribune.com/chi-130329-meigs-field-northerly-island-pictures/ |
