May 24, 20233 yr Meigs and Chicago of course! 🙂Why is Chicago called the “Windy City”? (history.com) Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space. Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

May 24, 20233 yr The name stuck after it was applied in a news story in the 19th century - it was referring to the politicians as being "windy" blow-hards. Though it can get quite windy at times (I lived there for several years), there are other cities that have higher average winds. Still, not a fun place to be on a Winter day with high winds coming off the Lake... Edited May 24, 20233 yr by RandallR Randall Rocke
