Can you describe the problem in more detail please and show what is happening on the screens? Was everything ok in P3D v4? Do you have the same files config / compatibility with Meigs as before?

All of the downtown builds are not there. There are some generic high rise buildings that's all. Also how do I get the forum in English?

Right now after another reinstall the buildings are there. The compatibility box for Meigs is checked. It did happen sometimes in P3D v4.5.

mbell, these are too little information to go with but in this case it might be more practical to contact ORBX team, as it is their airport.

I have uninstalled Meigs and the 3D downtown buildings still at times disappear.

As Stanislaw said - it's really hard to say something based on the available information. Can you show it via screenshot somehow, please?

Runway lights do not work under SODE 1.7. Rolling back to SODE 1.6.7 or selecting runway lights always ON fixes the lights. Seems similar to the issue here:

We probably need to make a modification of sdx file - we should get back with this soon.

It seems that in the last version of SODE there has been changed one parameter, which removed the backward compatibility. In the result there may be a problem with an automatic activation of runway / taxi lights.

Please unzip the attached file and depending on the installed version (with statics or without statics) copy the sdx files to the following location (replace the old ones): C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\sdx\DrzewieckiDesign

There is now a new error with that file:
[15:12:51.587] DEBUG SODE.XML : SDX Decompilation of 'KMDW_X.sdx' successful.

Thanks for the info, but you can skip this error - it should have no negative effect on the scenery.

Hello, I am having an issue with the Chicago airports vs my Seattle and Washington DC airports.

For some reason, I have no runway or taxiway lights during night at any of the Chicago airports, when all of the Seattle and DC area airports are working fine. SODE is updated and working fine but I haven't found any other posts so far about troubleshooting this.

Thanks

Interesting. I have reinstalled a few times now, but installing with 'lights always on' has "fixed it." But now of course the lights are on during the day too.
