January 4, 20188 yr Now ORD is an airport I’d love to see FlyTampa or Flightbeam take on. I have the fsdt version installed but really I don’t know why...it’s so out of date I never fly there...too difficult with runway changes etc. Dave Current System (Running at 4k): ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F, Ryzen 7800X3D, RTX 5090, 55" Samsung Q80T, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, EVGA CLC 280mm AIO Cooler, Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS & Stick, Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant & Add-on, VirtualFly Ruddo+, TQ6+ and Yoko+, GoFlight MCP-PRO and EFIS, Skalarki FCU and MCDU
January 4, 20188 yr There's a very good AFCAD of KORD made by John Manley & Clay Brock. It is up to date with all current charts for the airport. Check it out, it's free! https://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=202380 Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
January 5, 20188 yr Thanks, I'm going to uninstall the FSDT version for now and try that.

January 5, 20188 yr Commercial Member The good news is that Shez Asari (of SunSkyJet) has about to finish a freeware KORD. Obviously not payware quality, and not the same quality as the SSJ KPHL or KDTW (the latter still in the works but getting closer), but it's far better than anything else out there for this must have airport! Visit the SunSkyJet website for additional information. If you love his scenery as most everyone does, please consider making a donation to offset his costs. We all think about doing it, but few actually ever do. Your support is so important to one of the only Freeware Airport Makers left in the FSX/P3D community! Best wishes!

January 5, 20188 yr What, you mean pilots haven't enjoyed using the old FSDT O'Hare X and playing the wonderful game of which ILS freq works with which runway. lol Jason Weaver - WestWind Airlines; FlyUK Airlines; VirtualUnited.org

Well we all have different research skill levels. LOL! Anyway, that's how I found out about it, and I've provided you with the info you need to as well! Best wishes.

I did the same thing with the same results. The only thing a forum search turned up for me was Shez saying he would NOT be doing KORD (along with a few other airports). Lots on the impending KDTW, but... Scott

January 5, 20188 yr Commercial Member Dave is a beta tester for them so he might have some insider information that we don't.

January 5, 20188 yr Noticed today at Fly Tampa's KMDW that there was snow blowing across the tarmac... pretty cool effect that I've never seen before. Midway is one of my favourite airports. Love taking a The PMDG 738 in SOuthwest livery out of there. You can probably count on the layout of Midway not changing too much (pretty boxed in there) i7 6700K @ 4.6GHz, ASUS Z170-PRO GAMING, 32GB DDR4 2666MHz, 750W EVGA SuperNOVA, 512GB Samsung 960 PRO, 1TB Western Digital - Black Edition RTX 2080Ti (MSI trio), Corsair H115i - 280mm Liquid CPU Cooler

Well this was initially an AFCAD update with a photoreal background (borne out of frustration of my VATSIM Chicago Center controlling where half the pilots had old scenery). I then decided to align all the taxiways to the photoreal so it looks a lot better now. I also put in all the gates and updated the layout to the current with the new cargo to NE. Here is the link if anyone wants the Beta. I am still working on the cargo buildings. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ap6BzLcFirPslsRhTyNZ73ln2mosCw Will be at AVSIM soon.
