Kai Tak and Meigs

Featured Replies

I ran the new update and I went to check out the new SU11 airports. I am having some serious issues with Meigs and Kai Tak. Meigs is a mess, no runway and my plane was in the water at start up. At Kai Tak, there is a building on the runway. I happen to have DD Chicago City and Sam Scene Hong Kong, and I’m wondering if these are causing the issues. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Cheers, Pete

I haven’t been to Meigs yet, but my Kai Tak is fine, I don’t have the Samscene addon installed.

Sam Scene Hong Kong

Any version buyers (Marketplace and our store and simmarket) If you need to remove the kai tak cruise terminal, please DOWNLOAD this exclusion package, put it into your MSFS community folder.

Thanks! I will give this a shot.

Meigs is a mess

Meigs works just fine here. If your Community folder shows empty, just reboot the sim again and report back.

Because OP has installed DD Chicago Landmarks reported as not compatible in current state.

Thanks, that is what I suspected. Hopefully they’ll release a patch soon. The Kai Tak fix worked, thanks much!

Cheers, Pete

The ORBX Dubai landmarks will also interfere with one of the Helipads added in Dubai.

DD Chicago is the only add-on that I regret buying. It not only messes up the Meigs Field in the SU11 release, it messed up the Meigs Field that was previously sold in the in-sim marketplace (with airport trees floating in the sky). DD Chicago also has horrendous FPS and stutters over the city. I suffered issues with DD Chicago that never occurred for me with any other add-on. I didn't ask for my money back because I thought a fix would be offered. It never was.

I quickly deleted Meigs because it is not how I remember Chicago when I was last there with the old tower being the only remnant of Meigs Field remaining.  But I agree DD Chicago is framerate hog - glad it is not just me.

I moved the new Meigs scenery out of the Official folder and run it in the Community folder with a Z in front of the name to give it higher priority.  Now, it works just fine with DD Chicago.  🙂

This worked for me with the previous addon Meigs.  I have not looked at the new default Meigs.  Is it better than the previous addon?

Instead of doing that, perhaps you might want to try the "Package Reorder Tool" that was added with SU10. If my understanding is correct, you would not have to move or rename anything.

Navigraph is using this to override the sim's nav data with their own data.

Try this. As said by @JimBrown, there's a new way to set priorities after SU10:
