NEW: Chicago/O'Hare (KORD) 1960

[Okami]

Hi all,

Just saw a new entry in the Flightsim listings, which came as a bit of a surprise...

Apparently not only the airfield has been backdated, but the city as well...

Excellent! Now Chicago's main airport (O'Hare in honnor of WWII ace CPT O'Hare) will match up with the retro Midway Airport. I'm off to get it now.

I'd heard that someone was doing O'Hare a while back. Downloading it now.

Nice, the older I can make the sim's scenery the better. I tested it in GW3 but it just makes a mess. Speaking of GW3, does anyone know what the giant ball on the ground at Meigs is supposed to be?

Hi all,

I will be offering an addon to this scenery that will increase the accuracy of the airline parking, cargo area, roads, etc. Also, note that it is really circa 1962 (new terminal in use) rather than 1960 (new terminal starting construction).

Pics of addon, etc. here:

Thanks Tom. Looking forward to it.

I sure enjoy stopping off at O'Hare much better in FS 9 than in real life!
