Meigs with DD Chicago Landmarks after City Update Chicago..

Featured Replies

I had the Microsoft Meigs scenery working nicely with DD Chicago Landmarks until the latest City Update.. now I had buildings encroaching on the north end of the runway and ugly piles of rocks at the edges. Microsoft Meigs has higher priority than DD Landmarks, but that did not do the trick.

Until DD finds the time to update their scenery, here is a workaround (credit to Mike Mac):

  • Copy over the MSFS 2020 version of the Microsoft KCGX airfield, add zz in front of the name and drop it into the Community folder.

  • Disable the 2024 version of the Microsoft KCGX airfield in the Library settings.

This should give you a clean version of the original Meigs airfield along with the nice DD city scenery.

Sorry to ask Bert, but which version of the Meigs scenery are you refering to?
https://flightsim.to/search?q=KCGX

Or the default one in MSFS (since 40th Anniversary Edition) ?

The one that comes with the sim.

If you go to the MSFS 2020 Official/OneStore folder, you will find:

microsoft-airport-kcgx-meigs-field

that is the one 🙂

I appreciate this Bert. For some reason they don't seem to like doing much after they release a project. This was bothering me and I'm happy to find a solution.

I was totally unaware that MSFS released a 'custom' version of Meigs, so thanks Bert for the headsup and clarification. Happy with it!

This was the default airfield for Microsoft Flight Simulator for many years, and like many, I grew attached to it..

Having it back and working nicely puts a smile on my face. 🙂
