Default Meigs problem

Featured Replies

Anyone else have this problem? My friend in Australia doesn't. I uninstalled it from the library (it is default scenery) and reinstalled it. Same problem.

Hi Jack:

Coincidentally, I visited the RW Meigs Field of today…🙂…just earlier this week, to show around, a couple of guests from Florida.

And, no, I have not seen the anomaly in your screenshot, in my MSFS2024/Xbox (post SU4, at least). I will take a look there again.

Thanks for looking. My friend whom I helped in Australia doesn’t have this issue but I do. This is the default Asobo Meigs. 
 

The RW one today is now just a park? Didn’t they destroy it?

Yes, Jack, it’s a lakefront park today. Taking advantage of a rare 70 degree F temperature, I took my guests there earlier this week.

And, yes, it was destroyed in 2003, March, just a few years after I relocated to Chicago. I made a reference to it in my last (Chicago->Orlando) A321 post here…

Cheers…!

Destroying it was dumb.

Jack:

The airport (former KCGX) was destroyed in the stealth of the night of March 30-31, 2003. If you look on-line for post-destruction images, you will see six large X-shaped trenches carved into the main (18/36) runway, seen in its original form in my below image.

I took a quick screenshot of KCGX today, with default MSFS2024 scenery (PG Off). I don't see your anomaly at least from a bit of height. Could be what you've shown due to distorted vegetation and trees around the edges...not sure...?

Thanks, but it’s a deep hole and on both sides of the runway. It bugs the heck out of me. You’re now the second one without it.

I figured it out. It was Orbx’s downtown Chicago that caused it. Disabling it prevents that hideous look.

I’m glad you figured it out, Jack.

Due to some reason, I thought it was your (default) MSFS2024 scenery. There have been indeed reports of conflicts when add-on sceneries are in the mix.

My MSFS2024 scenery is mostly default, including some Gaya/Asobo ones, for which I’ve to enable streaming, in My Library.

I have well over one hundred airports I’ve bought as well as some SamScene ones. I like to fly to only airports I’ve bought. I do things differently than most simmers. And I have downloaded everything from Adobe, I don’t stream anything unless photogrammatry is considered streaming.
