December 28, 20214 yr I would never consider purchasing Drzewiecki's Midway until their Chicago Landmarks release is updated to get decent performance. I've had no performance issues with Drzewiecki's Washington DC Landmarks, but Chicago's Landmarks is a different story. The detail in all their releases is absolutely unsurpassed. But performance is hit or miss.

I do hope he will make a performance pass on that addon. This rendition of KMDW looks really good. Just need a decent plane to fly in and out of there.

Chicago Landmarks at night really drags. Oddly enough, I can get decent performance during the day when I fly directly over the city skyscrapers. But when I get perhaps half a mile south of downtown, performance really sinks even though that area is less detailed. I suspect this performance oddity has more to do with SU7 than with Drzewiecki.

I also think color wise it is way overdone. Downtown is not that colorful from the distance. Did you by any chance report any of this on their forums? Jacek G.

December 29, 20214 yr Author I own FSDT KORD and purchased the KMDW add-on from DD. No performance issues for me, but I'll admit that I don't own Chicago Landmarks.

December 29, 20214 yr I finally purchased KMDW (couldn't resist). Very detailed and well done, with a lot of static aircraft, of course, mainly Southwest. The static aircraft are optional during installation. I also have Chicago Landmarks installed, and have to say that in general performance is not bad, only a bit affected when flying close to the downtown, but this last one is due to the Landmarks, not the airport itself. It's certainly a very nice addition to the Chicago area, but if you have a medium to low-end system is better to avoid having the two add-ons working together.

I have both add ons plus KPWK and FSDT KORD and I seemed to be able to maintain a locked 30 FPS-ish...a nice scenery.
