Greggy_D Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 One year ago tomorrow we were tossing around the idea of an Orbx version of Meigs! And now it is here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks Benny, nice to see the progression there, I remember drooling over the wirecage version a long time ago lol! @Greggy_D I'm pretty sure thats the thread that led me and Alex to consider creating it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be77solo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Curious, as it wasn't in the manual that I could find, what does the "Hard winter ground polygon" option do? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It's for Prepar3D 2+ to enable the hard winter ground polygon. The FSX version auto-switches but that functionality is no longer with native Prepar3D ground polys.

Penzoil3 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 So do we just leave that enabled, and it will kick in in winter ? Or do we only enable it in hard winter ? Thanks Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 For P3D 2+ enable it in hard winter and leave it set for any hard winter flying (November-February). Disable for other months, I would have liked to have done it automatic but so far I have not found a way. All other sims leave unchecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltalad Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Yep remember this and the one before played on my BBC computer, which was just a wire frame and a spitfire, if you got to far from the parallel lines which represented the runway, you would never find your way home.. Ah those were the day's shame we had to wait so long for the ORBX's team to be born? Just joking Good work guy's still waiting for Redhill?

lifendet Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Whats the difference between this one and the one offered on FSX Steam? I see both are made by ORBX but price is a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, this was actually a rendition of a plan put forth for what Northerly Island might one day become rather than what it currently looks like. Today, those little barrier islands on the right do not exist, nor do the trees. Right now there is a central lagoon on the bottom part of the picture, some trails and prairie grassland, in addition to the concert venue. This is very much still a work in progress. BTW, I normally wouldn't include an image in a quote, but did so this time as it was relevant to the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see both are made by ORBX but price is a big difference. The FSS release is a quad installer, has a much greater variety of people and aircraft, seasonal transitions like changing vegetation and a hard winter ground polygon, an option to use 2048px textures, a handful of new buildings around the park area, platforms in the tower and exterior balcony, AI traffic, and Vector compatibility and frozen lake options. Both are the same at the core, just adjusted for our target users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no worries - just thought folks might be interested to know where things stand in the continuing saga of Meigs/Northerly Island. It's a fascinating tale and very much a Chicago one, full of midnight bulldozers and political lies and paybacks. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
