DD Chicago Airports X Free @ simmarket

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a comparison to FSDT original ORD and Flytampa MDW?  Both are pretty old so I wonder if they're worth replacing.

I think DD ORD would be better than FSDT ORD 1.  But not FSDT ORD 2.  I really like the FlyTampa MDW.  I personally run FSDT ORD 2, FlyTampa MDW, and DD Chicago city

The installer lets you install the airports individually. Give it a shot for $0. I use MDW and PWK, but have FSDT ORDv2. Installer uses xml method, so easy to disable and remove.

Already downloaded DD Chicago Airports and will install tomorrow. Will have to remove FSDT's KORDv2 (trial mode) and temporarily disable FlyTampa's KMDW (will test which is better, FT or DD).

Has anyone tried those three DD airports?. How good they're regarding FPS?.

Thanks to DD and SimMarket for the kind freebie.

Cheers, Ed

I can't see FSDT's holding anything to the DD version, they are about 10 years apart in age.

I purchased both their Chicago City and Airports X a few months ago. They're nicely done.

Thanks Burnett for the heads up, this deal is a banger. Acquired x-plane and p3d versions. Good work DD, will buy more from you in the future.

And here I was away taking a break after the 1g1d campaign ended, and boom goes the wall-o-fire we were hoping for... That's it, I'm setting the gratis section as my new home page....:P

Only a year since it was listed, this is going to be a HUGE improvement over what I still have in my sim.

Not sure this is a Simmarket initiative as I did not see them notifying about it
