Having an issue with the runway at Meigs Field

Featured Replies

Absolutely second that 36 final view - one of the best.

On 9/11 I was also in the air, but commercial. We were half-way over the pond returning from work in Italy when US airspace was closed and we were sent back to Europe (Schipol) where we spent the next four days stranded with thousands of other travelers. The world was never the same.

what's the latest with meigs in fs2024? I haven't installed anything yet, but very much would like to fly there again

Ok, so I did not know there was a Chicago update this past week and so I just fired up default Meigs (KCGX) and guess what guys?
They fixed the runway!!!! Yay!!! We should do a fly-in to celebrate, lol.

I'm having big issues with terraforming and the water near meigs. I'm guessing it has to be a conflict with Drzewiecki city scenery. Which creates a tough choice. Keep the better DD city scenery and exclude meigs, or downgrade the city scenery to the CU package but have meigs.

It has never been fixed, as far as I know. There's a huge misalignment or something in the 2024 default KCGX that can flip your aircraft during rollout after landing.

City update 15 fixed it for me.
