December 31, 2025Dec 31 Finishing our Minneapolis to Chicago flight as we descend on the FYTTE7 arrival and fly an ILS RY 27C Approaching Rockford (I think hehe) Chicago approach would have us now and they'll eventually give us vectors to final approach course for the ILS 27C Quite a lovely evening over Chicago Over the Sears Tower (I mean Willis lol) There's no ice on Lake Michigan yet.. but it's cold down there! We've got our approach clearance! The sim is quite impressive looking - at the intersection of I-94 and US14 Again with the stunning paintjob. I've done many paints but I'd never attempt this hehe My PC was starting to choke here LOL (never thought a 12700K and RTX 4080 along with 64GB ram would not be enough!) Likely because FSDT KORD is a 2020 scenery and the DDS textures are less efficient than the new KTX2 Sometimes the taxi in at O'hare is just as long as the flight LOL Ours wasn't too bad tonight 🙂 Hope you enjoyed... and I didn't have any emergencies this time haha! | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
December 31, 2025Dec 31 Nice part 2 and arrival into O'Hare, Ryan, with this striking livery... You have nailed the (RW) route in. I was looking, on FlightAware, for the last arrived airplane from MSP to ORD. A United A319 just flew in with the route as shown in below image. The route was "RST1 RST ZZIPR FYTTE7", with FYTTE7 arrival as in yours, and also landing westward in O'Hare. I see in your shots that you're first flying eastward into the Lake (over the skyscrapers), before turning around to land on Rwy 27C. Your Rockford guess is most likely correct. You've also identified I-94, which is the one, we take to drive between Chicago and Minneapolis. US 14 is mostly called Northwest Highway around here, passing through Chicago's historical suburbs. Lovely evening arrival into O'Hare. I see that (black) Hilton Hotel in your last shot, where I've stayed a couple of times... Thanks for sharing...!
