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 7aa9394dea 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 Directx 9 Download I like this addon its nice having the airport scenery back in fsx, Its frame rate frendly didnt take long to install & with an I 7 on medium settings expect 40-60 FPS with A2A Cessna 172. I love doing touch and goes with this airport no scenery glitch I could find. However one thing about it that I would change would be AI aircraft and just alittle bit more with the scenery. Wait for it to be one special because its worth more that way.. Having lived in the Chicago area and being into flying and flight sim I was very dissappointed by the removal of Meigs field both in real life and the flightsim versions. The good new is they have put it back atleast in the sim world and the result is really well done. They not only have done the airport but also the fountain and pavilions which have been missing from every other attempt at the field. makes for a very realistic experience thank you to all involved. Now if they would just put the real one back it would be nice.. 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.. 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.. Great Little Airfield
