1 month(s) agoIt was in the Content Manager but didn't show in-game.
Tried renaming the folder starting with an "a" and bingo! it worked perfectly.
Thanks for the tip!!

1 month(s) ago- uninstall the Meigs folder (quit from the community folder) and run the game. Fly into Chicago. Quit and reinstall.
- if that does not work, try renaming the Meigs folder starting with an “a” instead of a “z”. This has solved the problem for all the users I’m aware of.
If you have further problems drop an email to [email protected]
Let me know if it works!

1 month(s) agoAfter such a reset, once again I couldn't properly see Meigs Pro. In fact I could see the runway, but the airport buildings were simple generic. The solution this time has been renaming the folder back to "z"!!
All is finally well, then. One does never stop learning... 😀

1 month(s) agoI 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
GuillermoZS
1 month(s) agoLet me know you still have any problem

2 month(s) agoToday I purchased the DD Chicago Landmarks and unfortunately there appears some issues with integration. I can only see the runway, most of the buildings are gone, water appear on the side of the runways.
can you help please
Think I found a solution.
As I normally use the MSFS Addons Linker for my addons including Meigs and while DD Chicago Landmarks is automatically installed into the Community folder, this appears to create a problem with the way Layers work in MSFS scenery.
My solution was to put the Meigs folder directly into the Community folder along with DD Chicago Landmarks. Meigs has to be above Chicago therefore simply renamed Meigs with an a_ prefix. This allows Meigs priority over Chicago.

2 month(s) agoOnly a couple of questions, please:
1) I see I can download either v2.1 or v2.2 from Simmarket. No reason to download v2.1 anymore, right?
2) How will I know if/when you release further updates?
Thanks in advance, best regards.
GuillermoZS
2 month(s) ago1) indeed there is no need to download 2.1. Go with 2.2
2) you will receive an email once an update is launched!
Hope this clarifies and thanks a lot for your comments.
Enjoy!

2 month(s) agoI also downloaded the Pro-Version from your website and can't wait to check it out.
Question: is there a way to get updates for the Pro-Version, in case you intend to further improve or change details?
Thanks again!

3 month(s) agoI wish we could add our own hangers to other airports as a "home" base or something.
Great work.
