Because we simply think that our static planes are way better 8) You can always remove our statics via our installer.

Correct 8)

Negative - but you can remove static aircraft during the install (except for the Marketplace version).

We simply like them. I like them. :P

Such a version is available from the very beginning of the product's existence. But again - not in the Marketplace version since there are no config options possible.

I understand your motivation. I did however make the mistake before and bought a marketplace version of your scenery. May I make the suggestion to offer a separate exclusion file and afcad with all stands open, that PC users could download from your website and place into their community folder?
Pretty much like this community fix for another third party developer:

I haven't purchased it yet, and was contemplating getting it, but I can not see any mention of the option to install with, or without static aircraft on the ORBX Central app or their website.

There is such an option at ORBX (for all our products).

Didn't know that, may be worth advertising that fact in the description, just purchased. :wink:

Greetings
Just purchased this airport two days ago through ORBX. Looks good overall but I have one issue: While I like nice shiny floors in the hangars and terminals, the floors are reflecting the sky conditions including the clouds. I would not expect to see that image inside a building. I assume you are aware of this so I am wondering if a fix might be coming or, perhaps, I need to check my graphics settings?

Thanks

I'm afraid it might be a bug of MSFS, which we were not able to "work around". As far as I know, some new feature have been improved for developers, so it's noted and will be solved as soon as the new updated version is ready.

OK. Thanks for the quick response. I'll wait until a fix comes out sometime. :)

This scenery looks awesome. One bug I noticed is when landing on 22L and then taxiing off of runway 22L onto taxiway V then crossing 22R to join W on the west side of the airport my plane hit a huge invisible bump on the taxiway that flipped my plane over. It appeared to be on the 4L threshold where V / W taxiways cross the runway.

To be absolutely sure, which location we are talking about, can you post the screenshot of this place?

Dear friends,

I have purchased the KMDW Chicago Midway airport on XBOX through Marketplace, but it doesn't work. To be more specific, it crashes to the desktop during the Loading of the airport. I am playing the game on Xbox Series X!
Does anyone else, has a similar issue? I tried to uninstall/install the airport through the Content Manager, but the problem persists.

I would apreciate your help.

Thanks

Kostas

Hello Kostas.
The issue was reported yesterday to the Marketplace team. According to them:
"Looking at the test results - it shows all tests passed on our tracking. I will ask our team to look again, but if you have any more information you can share, please send it over."

Please let us know at what % of loading the sim crashes and if only at that particular location or in any location after installing KMDW.

Here are 2 screen shots. The one with the blue box shows where the invisible bump on the runway is, and the other shows the terminal building and hangars protruding through the IMC weather / fog, while buildings close in the foreground (Atlantic aviation building to the south) are correctly shrouded in fog. The terminal and hangars look like their floating and are unobscured by the weather.
