  • Version 1.6 February 09, 2021

    Version 1.6

    - Complete remake of the Bay Area, with custom night lighting.
    - Improved compatibility with DD Chicago Landmarks addon (third party).

  • Version 1.5 December 20, 2020

    - Solved a problem affecting some users where the airport needs to be reinstalled after each FS update.
    - Added new light poles to improve night lighting.
    - Improved runway, painted lines and apron textures.

  • Version 1.4 September 28, 2020

    - 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.

    The new MSFS update has affected your airport. Grass in now growing inside the terminal on the first floor and the boats seem like they are sitting in a swamp. Its like the lake levels dropped significantly. Everything else seems to be working OK so far.! I love this Airport.!!

    I lost Meigs Pro after MS update #3.
    It 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!!

      Hi there, try the following:

      - 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!

      Hi, if you re-read my lastest post, you'll discover I had already succeeded with the "a" solution 😀
      Thnaks anyway, bets regards!

      Hi again. You won't believe this: the "a" solution had initially worked nicely for me (Meigs Pro plus DD Chicago Landmarks), but then I've had to reset the content.xml file because of scenery conflicts in another area.

      After 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... 😀

    Hello, I have lost Meigs Field. I have seen it today, so I suppose it will be due to sim 3.
    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

      Hi Natalia, try renaming the Meigs folder starting with an “a” instead of a “z”. This forces the game to reload cache and has solved the issue for all the users I’m aware of having the same problem.

      Let me know you still have any problem

      Cheers!

    Now that we have working helicopters in MSFS it would be great if the helicopter pads at Meigs were available as a parking position selection.

      Indeed! It’s planned for next update!

    Strange problem -- I cannot get the runway to show up. Everything else is there (buildings, planes) but no runway. I have tried everything, including running MSFS with no other add-ons. Also made certain that "draw on terrain" is turned on in dev mode. Any ideas? This is not a problem in any other location except St. Helena.

    Hi, I purchased the pro version..worked absolutely fine.

    Today 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.

      I can't replicate your problem because I bought DD Chicago Landmarks from the in-game Marketplace, so it's not in the Community folder, but the Official folder instead. For me it worked perfectly along with Meigs Pro since minute zero. Anyhow, glad you seem to have found a solution.
    • GuillermoZS

      Thanks for telling. Indeed, renaming the Meigs folder starting with an “a” (wherever you have it installed) forces the game to give priority to Meigs and solves the compatibility issue. Cheers

    Hi, just istalled the pro version and definitely there's no ghost hill next to the stadium. Works like a charm along with DD Chicago Landmarks. An immediate favorite!!
    Only 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.

      Hi Flyfly,

      1) 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!

      How did you get it to work with the DD Chicago Landmarks?

    Thank you for your hard work. I lived in Chicago when Meigs was active. It's good to see it back, at least digitally.

    Hi GuillermoZS,
    I 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!
    • GuillermoZS

      Sure! You will receive an email with the update. Also check the official thread forum for news on the updates. Cheers!

    Very awesome indeed! Got the pro version and love the hangar.
    I wish we could add our own hangers to other airports as a "home" base or something.
    Great work.
