FSX: Steam Edition - Meigs Field (KCGX) Add-On

Updated: Mar 19, 2020





















































About This Content Merrill C. Meigs stands out in flight simulation as one of the most well-known and frequently visited destinations for virtual pilots. Before its tragic demise, the airport served as the default starting location, and for many years the only location, for the Microsoft Flight Simulator series up until Flight Simulator X.Meigs Field has a single asphalt runway measuring 3,899ft by 150ft. Traffic at the time of closure was an average of 132 aircraft per day. The traffic was 90% transient general aviation, five percent air taxi, five percent local general aviation, and less than one percent military traffic. Meigs Field also saw commuter air service between the 1960s and 1980s, typically with small twin engine aircraft.Using every resource available from on-site visits to archived information, Meigs Field from Orbx has been recreated with the utmost degree of historical accuracy - from the terminal’s historic architecture and glass curtain walls to the challenging approaches, every effort has been made to capture the look and feel of Meigs Field as it stood on its final day.Additionally, the surrounding parks district has been updated to its current, modern look and heavily enhanced. Surrounding points of interest include the Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum of Natural History, Soldier Field, Navy Pier and the Art Institute of Chicago.Meigs Field for FSX: Steam Edition includes a separate control panel enabling you to customise ground textures and adjust the density of ground assets. The control panel downloads automatically with Meigs Field, and can be installed and accessed by clicking ‘Tools’ on the ‘Library’ menu in the Steam client.FeaturesHistorically accurate recreation of Meigs FieldUpdated surrounding parks districtLandmarks including Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum of Natural History, Soldier Field, Navy Pier and the Art Institute of ChicagoControl panel for adjusting density of static aircraft and character models, and switching on/off Orbx tree and ground detail textures 1075eedd30 Title: FSX: Steam Edition - Meigs Field (KCGX) Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:OrbxPublisher:Dovetail Games - FlightRelease Date: 22 Oct, 2015 FSX: Steam Edition - Meigs Field (KCGX) Add-On Very nice add-on. Works well, good graphics, does not cause frame rate to drop too much. Reminds me of playing Flight Sim in 1990's, but with WAY better graphics!. Adds ILS 36, Tower and ATIS for KCGX along with some nice graphics for runway and surrounding Grant Park. Unfortunately, there is a bugged tile North of Navy Pier and Just East of the Oak Street Beach. Instead of beach and water, it is industrial tile. Hope this can be fixed. Otherwise it works with Chicago X and Ohare X. Chicago X already adds back KCGX but does not have ILS and ATIS.. is this program good at NIGHT FLIGHT??????. This is a pretty good add-on. With all my settings turned up for the most part it still runs smoothly even with payware aircraft.. Now it feels like MFS. Finally.. I am so happy to be "back at Meigs". It's where I flew my first circuits back in FS3. The experience is so much better now. Great quality add-on. I expected nothing less from Orbx, but am still impressed with the quality and how smoothly it runs. Highly recommended!. love this add on. love meigs field at night and the Chicago skyline. Definitly recommend. Just crank up your settings to get the full effect. Frame rate not affected.
