## About This Content
Merrill C. Meigs stands out in flight simulation as one of the most well-known
and frequently visited destinations for virtual pilots. Before its tragic
demise, the airport served as the default starting location, and for many
years the only location, for the Microsoft Flight Simulator series up until
Flight Simulator X.

Meigs Field has a single asphalt runway measuring 3,899ft by 150ft. Traffic at
the time of closure was an average of 132 aircraft per day. The traffic was
90% transient general aviation, five percent air taxi, five percent local
general aviation, and less than one percent military traffic. Meigs Field also
saw commuter air service between the 1960s and 1980s, typically with small
twin engine aircraft.

Using every resource available from on-site visits to archived information,
Meigs Field from Orbx has been recreated with the utmost degree of historical
accuracy – from the terminal’s historic architecture and glass curtain walls
to the challenging approaches, every effort has been made to capture the look
and feel of Meigs Field as it stood on its final day.

Additionally, the surrounding parks district has been updated to its current,
modern look and heavily enhanced. Surrounding points of interest include the
Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum of Natural History, Soldier
Field, Navy Pier and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Meigs Field for FSX: Steam Edition includes a separate control panel enabling
you to customise ground textures and adjust the density of ground assets. The
control panel downloads automatically with Meigs Field, and can be installed
and accessed by clicking ‘Tools’ on the ‘Library’ menu in the Steam client.
