City Update 15: Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin

Featured Replies

There are a half dozen or so hours long direct streams of FSExpo on Youtube. And videos on the new Piper M600 plane (60 simverse coins to buy). Expo streams are a stage where developers walk out and present a slide show of their new apps, controllers, and whatnot. Most of the better stuff is after about 3 hours in.

5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB  PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

  • I feel like Europe gets more love than the USA. But I’d love to see Caribbean and South America

  • It all depends on what data is available. I would love to see more African updates.

  • Because of FSExpo, the fact Jorg moved to the USA and that it's the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence.

Doing a flight out from XWind Chicago Rockford KRFD right now-Chicago looks terrific thanks to City Update 15!

I wonder if it will conflict with Samscene3d Minneapolis. I take it we can ditch drzewiecki design chicago landmarks.

I heard from another users that it messes up drzewiecki design midway.

This is super cool! I already bought SamScene Vol 4 (which includes some MSP buildings) but having more MSP areas in Vexcel is awesome! Now I need a new RTX 5090 to fly out of FB's KMSP LOL

I thought you might also be excited about having Duluth in PG for the first time. 🙂

Yes I have to check that out as well... flew around my local area for a little while today.

I also got to meet Jorg and Raul (FSReborn) today at the Expo! And picked up the M600 for less than 20 USD - seems like a great day!

They finally updated the 15-year-old satellite data in Chicago... Maggie Daley Park is no longer an ugly construction zone, but the sim overdid the trees as usual. Would have been nice to see a bespoke KPWK, but I'll take the updated imagery (even prior to the update, the PG in Chicago was pretty high res).

Last I checked, it wasn't compatible with 2024 (duplicate taxiway markings and other weird stuff). It was a great airport in 2020 tho!

Nice shots. I like the fact that the new Chicago PG now extends about 40 miles to the west past O'Hare. All the way to the prairie, with fields, farms, silo's. Great for low and slow flying.

Yes. Excellent I'll have to check that out. DLH is pretty good near the city, KDYT and KSUW but the line harshly cuts off just north of KDLH and it's a kinda an eyesore from a distance since the vexcel is very melty from from far away..

You're probably right. I flew out of there a month or so ago and didn't notice it but I also didn't look that hard hehe.
