Can you share more details, please? We will look at it as soon as we find some time.

We are already prepared to provide the updated version, however, it will not be released until it is officially introduced at the airport and on charts.

Hello, has MDW been updated to its new runway numbers?

Thank you.

We released KMDW Midway with its new 2025 airport layout. Is it something wrong?

Version 1.2:

RWY 31R-13L changed to TWY H, including signs and lighting
Optimized transparent materials for fog shimmering
LOD optimized for MSFS2024
Roughness adjusted for most materials
Vegetation excluded from airport surfaces
MSFS 2024 compatibility

When 13L/31R was initially decommissioned and made into Taxiway H, 13C/31C remained as a 'C'. That recently changed to properly designate the formerly-known-as 13C/31C to 13L/31R.

If you can verify the pair of 13/31 runway are marked as L/R as appropriate and no 'C', then I will make my purchase forthwith.

Fantastic! Thank you!

I don't mean to rain on the parade and with all due respect, but that screenshot is the default MSFS scenery. It isn't Drzewiecki's. Look at the tower. The Drzeiecki tower is octagonal.

I purchased the scenery from the MSFS marketplace yesterday based on your screenshot and statements, believing that Drzewiecki Design had runway designations accurate to today's runway layout. When I started a flight in MSFS with your scenery shortly ago, the runway labels are still inaccurate (see attached image). The longest runway still shows as 31C when it is now 31R.

I was explicitly waiting to purchase custom scenery for KMDW until I knew there was one with correct runway designations.

So I guess I'm back to our discussion that started back in February, given the changes that I and others knew were coming to Midway. Will you be updating the runway numbers to reflect the changes discussed?

I provided the screenshot based on the scenery newly installed in my MSFS 2024 via our installer. So something is probably wrong with the Marketplace, which we probably need to check with Asobo. Do you use your version in PC or Xbox?

Hello again, thank you for the positive communication.

I am on PC, Microsoft Store, MSFS 2020, updated to latest version.

Thank you for your help.

I can verify on both MSFS2020 and 2024 with the latest version installed from ORBX (1.2.0) that both 13 and 31 are still "C" vs. R/L.
Any idea when a new update will be released for this?
Thanks,

Carl

Thanks for all your reports. As I mentioned, my screenshot was done in MSFS 2024 using the latest version that should be available to everyone. It seems that there is some kind of mess, which we need to clean up. Thanks in advance for your patience.
