December 19, 200718 yr Really great! 1C2 is in the far southwest Chicago Suburbs about 35 nm from downtown Chicago. I live only about 2 miles to the east in Frankfort, IL.The more the merrier! Bring your planes, bring yourselves and bring a healthy appetite!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182134.jpgCheck your PM.Regards,Mike T
December 19, 200718 yr Holy cow! It seems that quite a few of us are practically neighbors! Probably just as easy for you to drive straight down I-80 though :-lolPretty great to know that I am in some great company.Warm regards,Mike T.
December 19, 200718 yr Crap. Looks like New Lenox recently went the way of Frankfort Muni. Seems that both sold out to the rampant home builders down here.When I moved here in Sept 2006 I was tickled pink that there were 2 airports within 2 miles. Frankfort Muni went private and then shut down and New Lenox was still open. I flew out of New Lenox back in the spring with my neighbor down the street. I just tried calling the FBO and the number is disconnected (sigh).Well there is still hope that they build Abraham Lincon Regional (aka South Suburban Airport) in the next 10 years :-(Looks like GYY is the place to be.Regards,Mike T.
December 19, 200718 yr That is sad to hear-but seems to be the way of the world. I am not adverse to a nice long runway and an ils though!With the way the winter is going-it might be best to wait till spring to do something like this...http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/1b5baf...b9f427f694g.jpgMy blog:http://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/ Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
December 19, 200718 yr Good deal then. Let's revisit in the spring. Besides my bbq grill is under 8" of snow so I will assume that standing on my patio in shin deep snow is going to put a dampner on the festivities! :-lolRegards,Mike T.
December 19, 200718 yr I'd be happy to see limited reverse-compatibility in FS11, provided that it can run on average PCs without the issues that many FSX users have experienced. Quote from MS Flight Team Lead: "We’ve made some guesses"

December 19, 200718 yr >PS: Its interesting to note that what is not being mentioned.>The FSX only features like Multiplayer and Missions. Maybe>there is a different group out there are having a good time>with those.The thing I'm wondering about is the save settings ability. By now I would have expected a forum full of user exchanging the latest best fps for setup X profiles. Instead we get a deafening silence about this feature. Almost like it never took off.My guess is that the non discussed features never realy took off.
