January 21, 20233 yr Warning - not much flying here, really just sightseeing around the DD Chicago cityscape, and even then mostly just the Navy Pier. Won't appeal to everybody but this is why I have the sim and spend the time and money I do on it. For those that like this stuff - enjoy! I haven't bothered with Meigs Field. Not part of my history with the sim and I'm happy with the current representation Nice day for it! The level of detail here is pretty amazing I've decided to call these odd lumps of bad PG "uglifacts". Seems appropriate. Reason I grabbed this shot is all the gulls. Can't remember the name of the various birds packages I got, but they do add atmosphere, for sure This is why I love MSFS.

I've got most of their stuff for most of the sims over the years and always been well pleased with it. Having a PC where I can use their stuff to the max now is a bonus.

I really don't anticipate any further travel at all in real life, but this sim brings out my inner Pete Townshend (Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere I choose!)

Not a comparison I care to think much about! 22 hours ago, Phantom88 said: Gorgeous!!! I Miss Seeing Meig's Field in Sims.....and in Real Life. Thanks Phantom, because I don't go back as far as most folks here in sim terms, I don't feel particulalry sentimental about Meig's. I can imagine it must feel like a loss in RL though. 6 hours ago, ikbenik said: Together with your previous 2 postings on Chicago City(and the amazing detailled Sears Tower) a grand set of lifelike screenshots reflecting the fantastic made addon by Drzewiecki Dev(DD) as also they did on other worldwide cities sofar. Cheers Ikbenik. It all kicked off because I was trying out KORD with AIG on the new PC to see how it handled it. It handled it well and I just sort of got involved with Chicago for a bit. There's a huge amount of exploring to be done in MSFS, even in places you might feel familiar with, but folks like DD add a whole extra dimension on top, for sure Ryzen 9 7900X, Corsair H150 AIO cooler, 64 Gb DDR5, Asus X670E Hero m/b, 3090ti, 13Tb NVMe, 8Tb SSD, 16Tb HD, 55" Philips 4k HDR monitor, EVGA 1600w ps, all in Corsair 7000D airflow case.
