I'm torn on whether I should buy this... having the new runway in the scenery without it being on real charts or in nav databases is going to be awkward. It would've been cool if there were two versions you could switch between--current configuration and what the airport will look like next year.

I can understand that but I don't think it's that big of a deal.  You can always just use the 10/28's.  I just did a flight departing on 9R and the scenery has the runway extended so yeah,  it didn't show up correctly on my Navigraph charts but it really was no big deal.  It's a great scenery and well worth it.  Performance was much better than I expected to encounter as well.  Happy to be able to fly into KORD once again as it has been a long time!

i'll wait till i hear how it also affects ATC options ........ one could conjure up an airac update which would reference the "pseudo" ILS's. or just close appropriate runways.

I'm happy the soon to be runway is already in the scenery. It will avoid th scenery be outdated in 6 months once it is finished.

It is easier to ignore a runway beeing built than having it missing for the next 4 years, just like what previously happened on ORD sceneries.
