Meigs Field...
No need to explain the nostalgic importance of this airfield… Remember those good old days again with this full recreation of Meigs Field!
Take off again from runway 36 and see the Chicago buildings landscape in the background, just like 20 years ago.
Or simply enjoy this magnificent field to plan your trips around Chicago.
- Historically accurate runway and, taxiways and parking areas.
- Full night lighting.
- Full ATC functionality.
- VASI22 (historically accurate).
- Ground services such as push-backs and fuel refueling.
- Complete remake of the bay and docks by the side of the airport.
- And much more!

Version 1.4
- Finally solved the ground pump issue. Now runway, taxiways and aprons are "smooth" concrete, as they should be ;)
- Added ATC functionality: Ground, Tower and Ground services (including pushback and fuel).
- Complete rework of taxiways and parking areas (three different parking areas: "Parking (center)", "North parking" and "South parking".
- Corrected the missing lights problem in some areas of the taxiways. Now all lights are perfectly aligned with taxiway edges.
- Added new textures for parking slots.
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!

Thank you! Finally I can go back to the place I would immediately crash my Sopwith Camel endlessly on takeoff back in Microsoft Flight 4.0 back in 1989. I recall being so blown away by the (then state of the art) skyline graphics and being able to pick out the Sears Tower. Brings me back to my childhood, love it! If only I could post pics of how silly it all looks today, the Sears Tower was a black cylinder and the other POI I got excited about was taking off from San Francisco you could see the island of Alcatraz. That consisted of a circle with a rectangle on top below a horrible stick figure recreation of the Golden Gate Bridge. These are the stories I tell my kids about how easy they have it. Back in my day we had video games sure, but they still required imagination. ;)

Hello. This scenery is really good, BUT, since the latest update, it now has vanished. I've even re-downloaded it and installed it again just to be sure but it's no longer on the world map.

I downloaded the file after extracting it copied it to the community folder and KCGX doesn't pop up in the world map airport search
