I couldn't register earlier but I'm having this issue with the helipads that Dano7711 mentions.

If I choose 10LL, Chicago Police Marine Heliport, as the Departure, it shows me there when it loads, but when I click Ready to Fly, I'm suddenly on a runway at Chicago Midway instead. This happened with at least one other helipad. In both cases I end up on a runway at Midway instead of being able to take off from the helipad.

Also if I choose a helipad as the arrival, the program just crashes.

Thanks, the scenery looks great by the way, I went to college in Chicago and go back at least once a year.

Thanks for reporting us this issue -let me try to perform a few tests in the coming days. At the moment we have no idea what could be the cause of such a problem - probably it would be necessary for me to discuss this with the MSFS support for developers, which might take some time. As soon as we know something new, I will get back to you.

I am glad others are reporting this, because it's been driving me insane.

On Sim Update 10, performance has been nothing but extraordinary, until I fly anywhere near Chicago/O'Hare/Downtown. As others have mentioned, FPS drops around 15fps. Massive stutters.

Any more news on this please?

I have had no answer to your problem yet. Can you share with me your context.xml file? (It can be attached as a zip file here)

Do you mean contents.xml? If it's really context.xml, where do I find this file?
Thanks

Guys, quick question. Is there any chance you can revisit the color saturation of this addon at night? Chicago is vibrant at night, but not that vibrant. I feel like it's way overpowering and somewhat blinding when flying around downtown.

Thanks a lot - let me take a look at your file after my return on Tuesday.

I'm afraid it's not such a straightforward matter as it seems looking from your perspective. Different users use different settings, different displays settings, GPUs, etc. And finally different tastes, which we are not able to satisfy fully.

Are you able to show how does it look like in your case? Screenshots or video would be appreciated. Some time ago we got the message suggesting that night lighting is too bright. On the other hand our night lighting has been viewed positively by many.

Let me revisit this again in October when I complete my new build with the 4080 card and I'll report back.

Hi,

I just purchased Chicago Landmarks from SimMarket. I downloaded the exe file (Chicago_Landmarks_MSFS_v1.2) to my desktop because MSFS is on my D drive. When I click on it, it acts like it's going to install but nothing happens. I've disabled my firewall and have been able to install other sceneries. I don't know what to do now. :oops:

Ok, I did that. Now I have a chicagoPLC.bgl file on my desktop. Do I put it somewhere in MSFS? Thanks!

Negative, it should be installed to the correct directory inside MSFS. It is weird that you have it on your desktop...
Please attach a screenshot of the installer right before clicking the "Install" button - there are paths visible.
