I started with the first version on an ibm pc-at in B&W, but I remember Meigs in all it's incarnations. I actually had a commercial flight to Chicago in the late 80's and I remember looking at the window on the approach to Ohare and seeing Meigs. I wanted to tell someone, but nobody but me cared.

As a reminder there's a free Meigs on Flightsim.to.ย  https://flightsim.to/file/834/merril-c-meigs-field-kcgx

There is also a more detailed commercial version somewhere, but I think the free one is detailed enough.

FYI, You can also play several of the very early versions of FS atย  https://s-macke.github.io/FSHistory/.

Really cool to see that it still works but flying with the number pad is tough.

Ha. I too would fly into O'Hare periodically for work in the 90's and was always happy to have a seat on the side facing Meigs while on approach or takeoff to get a look at it. ๐Ÿ™‚

Interesting links btw.
