FlyTampa-Midway in v4!

[Nyxx 6,993]

I am thinking of buying this airport as for me it links CYYZ-Midway- KMSP

I see it's got a patch for v4, I don't expect it to be as amazing as there new work, but what's it like?

Looks and FPS wise?

I have and it works well in 4.2 and looks nice as well.  My specs look similar to yours, so you should be OK.

I like it, looks good (let’s be honest - even FlyTampa’s older stuff generally looks really good) and it’s a fun airport to fly into with short runways and little margin for error.

Thanks guys sounds good.

Does it have moving jetways?

Good airport to use the soon to be updated CRJ into.

SWA hub... great airport, great scenery... Good airport to use PMDG 737.

i do typically get 2-3 five second pauses on approach there... just figure it’s due to FT-KMDW, FSDT-KORD, and Orbx Meigs being in such close proximity.

FlyTampa Midway works well. Drzewicki Designs (spelling) has a Chicago and area airports in the works that I expect will be a cleaner/newer version (as well as a lot of other surrounding airports). May not be a lot better thanm FlyTampa, but it’s something out there.

MDW is my home airport, so naturally, this was the first scenery I purchased back in 2016.  It works well in 4.2 as long as you apply the patch. 

Welcome to Chicago.

Works well for me. Busiest square mile on earth.

Amazes me the traffic density at that little airport, short runways surrounded by residential areas. Pray not but any accident-incident there would be catastrophic. Just no room for error.

It installs and works great in P3d V4.2 but as other have said, one needs to download the patch and install that also. Performance is on the low side, maybe one of the bottom two or three airports that I have installed. But that makes sense. The airport has a lot of AI traffic and it's located in the densely populated urban area with tons of urban autogen and AI freeway traffic. I have DD NYC Airports and although they are nice, the Fly Tampa products in general are a bit better IMO. Of the "biggies" I'd go:

Flightbeam>FSDT>FlyTampa>LatinVFR>DD>Aerosoft

but the differences in both quality and performance are not all that great within that complete spectrum. All those developers have the same tools and techniques at their disposal and each sticks to a pretty high standard, unlike the add-on aircraft side of things where there is a wide range in quality,with airports the differences lie in the quality of support and how often the developer updates the airport to keep things synced with the real world. With that as a yardstick, one might drop FlyTampa a bit down the list.

FlyTampa KBOS moved them up in the hierarchy in my opinion.  Extremely well done.
