Hi, we need to check. Have you noticed any problems with the scenery itself?

[Martin_Starski]

BTW: is it on Windows or Mac? Because we cannot replicate such an error message. Can you also share log.txt file here as zip?

Thank You for upgrading this airport from X-Plane. Looks great. I have an intimate knowledge of this airport as I was a student and private pilot at this facility many years ago.
I know how difficult it is to modify an existing airport to X-Plane 12.
I have your X-Plane 11 KORD and Chicago City as well as and they work reasonable well except for the old lighting and old 3D trees. I hope you will consider upgrading those in the future. I also have the new KDCA for X-Plane 12.

Having said that, I noticed after installing this airport, I noticed some very small issues and I hope you don't mind using this board to bring them up.
The approach end of Runway 31C is incorrectly marked 31R.
At the north end of the new taxiway "H" the small feeder taxiway to Runway 13C has been changed from taxiway "M" to "H1".
And finally, the tower view is a 0 feet AGL instead of cab level.
Please understand that these are very minor issues and only would be a problem for some one flying on an ATC network.
Thanks again, you guys do great work! I will be using this a lot.

I couldn't load the KMDW scenery either.
After checking the KMDW_Layer_WHR.obj,
I noticed that there was one extra point in line 7.
Instead of
WEATHER .../textures/dd_asphalt_weather.png
it should be
WEATHER ../textures/dd_asphalt_weather.png
After this change, everything worked as it should.
By the way, a very nice scenery.
Best regards
Paule

i run X-Pane under macOS

Thanks for your hint - we will take a look at it.

ouldn't load the KMDW

H! Can you please test this fix and let us know if it solves the issue?

[vonOlsen]

Hi Martin
I just tested KMDW with your fix.
Everything works fine!

[HeAniganist]

I use KMDW under Linux and it works with the correction of the KMDW_Layer_WHR.obj file.

But with the NavAids I can't get any further: The manual says that if I don't have a user_nav.dat I should copy it from the INSTALLER folder. But there is no such file in the INSTALLER folder.

I have the version from the OrbX Store.

Many thanks
Mike

[Martin_Starski]

Do you have a ZIP version of installer?

[HeAniganist]

I'm using Linux with no installer. I just installed the scenery using the orbx installer and reading the Linux/Mac manual. Works great, just missing the NavAids data part that adds to xplane 12.

[Martin_Starski]

Let me check it - maybe it's just an old sentence from the standard text of our manual. But generally everything works as it should, right?

[HeAniganist]

Yes, the scenery looks good. I just wanted to add the missing NavAids, which are written in the manual. I haven’t tested if they’re all there now.
