Invite me to a coffee!!
If you would like to support this project (or just to invite to a cup of coffee to remember those good old flight days) it would be much appreciated!
Thanks by your scenery, that I have used by several times. Now, with 40th Anniversary Edition I will not use it anymore. Anyway, really thanks.

Just downloaded this and it doesn't clear all the tress away; some taxiways are blocked by groves of trees, as well as the north end of the runway, in the displaced threshold.
I had an earlier version of this installed some time ago and it was perfect. Has something changed with MSFS to create this tree issue? And would the Pro version fix it? Happy to buy if it does, but don't wanna spend the money if it doesn't.
EDIT: Based on some other recent comments below, it appears the dev has abandoned this addon, so I definitely would caution against giving him any money for the Pro version, as it doesn't appear to work properly anymore.

That's a problem with your Rolling Cache. Delete it, restart the sim and try again bro. It could happen anywhere

Sadly you cannot enter the hanger or the terminal building to see the interior modelling on the pro version because changes were made to the collision materials in the camera mode in FS in April by Asobo. A shame as it was very good.

The history in Flight simulator of the recreation of this small quant business airport on the shoreline of CHicago is of EPIC proportions to the flightsimmers of "back then" .. This was where you would start a flight in your early Flightsim carreer... Now guillermo has recreated this awsome little field in all it's brilliance. Ofcourse i jumped for the Pro-edition, but it needs a little TLC. On the approach, the terrain is sticking out above the runway, well, at least on my version. Love yer work, hope you come back to look at this stunning job you did to make it future/update ready again! 😉 Thanks for recreating this piece of FS history.

I have the professional version and none of the buildings are showing up. The tower is nothing like the picture as well. Send a picture in an email to the developer.

Bought the pro version of this scenery, well made and certainly brought back memories. My own personal issue with this scenery is the colour of the control tower which is completely wrong, it's a dark brown colour, not white

Nice work, works well, just some trees on the field where they shouldn't be, I wouldn't pay money for that, not a good advertising. But... the tower was black and the hangars were more dark. There's a more accurate freeware on this site as your payware. Your payware isn't worth to buy with a white tower, do some reserch.

Beautiful work on both free and pro version. Pro version works great with SU5 of course. And as navaids are still the same today near the airport (CGT VOR), it is still possible to perform the shore visual approach runway 36, as in the video below starring your scenery !

I downloaded the free ver.1.6, but in MSMF-1.18.15.0, if you press the "FLY!" Button after specifying the departure airport Meigs, the pc will stop reading halfway. Do you have any plans for this versionup?

I have also tried the mod of Ichankal. With none it appears, neither as an airport, but neither as a scenery (buildings, etc), there is the default setting of the fs with the actual park
I have several airports installed (especially of Spain) and they work ok.
I don't have any other scenery in the Chicago area
