You must update to the current version. Run the FSDT Live Update, or just install the KORD V2 Trial.

Im a dummy lol should have done that first lol Great Job on it. It is worth the wait
-
Just purchased it. Thank you for this discount. My question is do I need to remove version 2011 before running the new v.2 installer? or will the installer remove the previous version automatically?
-
Just purchased it. Thank you for this discount. My question is do I need to remove version 2011 before running the new v.2 installer? or will the installer remove the previous version automatically?
Yes, you must uninstall the 2011 version, and the new installer will tell you that, and won't proceed until you remove the old version.

Drzewiecki Design Chicago City X, works just fine with our KORD.
-
Wow okay. Looks like it’ll be a buy for me. Internet’s down for the second day in a row but hopefully soon. Thanks.
-
Yes, you must uninstall the 2011 version, and the new installer will tell you that, and won't proceed until you remove the old version.
I have uninstalled the 2011 version with Windows 10 but the installer does not recognize this, perhaps I have a registry error? What is the registry key that is being checked to verify that the product is removed?
I found HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FSDreamTeam\Chicago Ohare and also HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FSDreamTeam\Chicago Ohare each with two REG_SZ values not set or null.
I reinstalled the 2011 version of O'Hare and again removed it with Windows but the KORDv2 installer still stops where it says I need to uninstall the 2011 version. I'm stuck.
-
Is this strictly for P3d or can it also be for FSX

I'm having the same issue. Rebooted pc just in case, and still asking for the uninstallation of 2011.
-
Thank you very much for your hard work and the discount!

No registry key is checked. See this post here to know how to manually remove the old version:

Great! Thank you Umberto.

As usual, when you see double jetways or double anything, it means you have a conflicting scenery for the same airport. The most common cause of conflicts are those AFCAD supplied with AI traffic products, which are supposed to be used only if you use the default scenery, but must be removed if you have an addon.
You can use the free Simple Airport Scanner utility to search for duplicates AFCAD:
http://www.scruffyduck.org/simple-airport-scanner/4584282795
Or check the name of the AFCAD used by GSX in the parking customization page.

It doesnt support V4.5

Great. Thanks Umberto!

I have the same problem, uninstalled 2011 via Control Panel as asked by Roberto but still can't run the setup of the new product. Seems the old installer did not uninstall all necessary files.

-

Just look at it, the difference it's obvious. It's a scenery that works in FSX too and looks like an FSX scenery, against a scenery that was made right from the start for P3D4 only, in full PBR quality.

discount doesnt seem to apply. its 34$ still if I go to the store page from the site and 34$ if I go from addon manager. yes 2011 is activated in addon manager

Sorry, but I can only repeat and confirm that, if the previous O'Hare version reads "Active" in the Addon Manager, and you press the "Buy on Web" button in the Addon Manager, a message should first say a discount will be applied, and a web page will open with the discount applied. Lots of people are buying with the discount, so you can be sure it's working.

the scenery is active. I select buy on web in addon manager for v2 and get no such notification. just takes me to the MC page with no discount applied. all I can do is repeat and confirm that I am not getting a promised discount and a simple message saying others are doing it so its fine doesnt actually help me fix the problem and get the discount promised to me. there should be a code I can enter manually for when the automated discount doesnt work like now
-
My KORD is installed and active but the "Buy on Web" is grayed out and it says the scenery is not installed in the scenery library. It of course is installed using the XML method. Any help for me? Wan't to buy this tonight if possible.
-
My KORD is installed and active but the "Buy on Web" is grayed out
With "my KORD" you mean the old version ? if yes, it's normal you won't see the "Buy on the Web", it surely won't let you buy it again, when it's already active. The "Buy on the Web" you need to click, is the one for the NEW KORD V2, and *that* one will activate a discount, if your old KORD is Active, which you said it is.

So KORD V1 never worked. I was sold on GSX because SODE gateways were supposed to be a feature when used at KORD. Using GSX SODE at KORD broke all the gates so that AI aircraft had no gates. I've been waiting for the fix and now you offer only a 21% discount to upgrade a broken airport that never worked as advertised?
GSX level 2 is useless. KORD V1 is useless, as are three other FSDT airports I have are not functioning properly as yet. I have after too many good faith payments learned my lesson to NEVER give FSDT another penny. I'm sure if I were stupid enough to buy KORD V2 I would feel even more the fool. I already felt really stupid when I bought GSX Level 2 thinking it would fix the utterly useless GSX Level 1, which I only saw work twice during two months of trying. See my many previous posts on these issues.
I will not PAY to fix KORD. Nor do I intend to ever again spend my $$$ on FSDT products.
As the old saying goes, fool me once - shame on you, fool me twice - shame on me. I will not shoot for three.
P.S. Oh I am sure there will be some non-factual response to this post blaming me the user or my dedicated P3D PC for the issues. Well if high level IBM computer engineer with a 40-year career under his belt with knowledge of PC's that could shame most 'experts', and is also a flight simmer since 1983 can't get your crap to work then I'd bet good money the issues run deep in the products.
A warning to future potential FSDT customers -- You've been warned. All products here are highly overstated as to what they are and some are just bold-faced lies. For instance, no one here will tell you up front that while you "might" be able to replace a jetway with a SODE Jetway (even in FSDT products) that you have to do this for ALL jetways individually. Then if you do the jetways will no longer function with any AI aircraft. Combine this with the fact there is no way to instruct ATC to park you at a gate that has been modified for GSX functionality and you have utter uselessness. Then consider that MOST of the other GSX "features" work sporadically at best and completely screw your flight before you get off the ground at worst, and you then have a good picture of what you are buying.
And the biggest laugh of all is that "Umberto/Vitualli, or whoever runs this one man company has never in my experience accepted responsibility for any of the issues. He/she is much better at placing blame then programming quality software. And BTW don't bother running the FSDT updater. it will run for a LONG time replacing every god damn thing you already have and still not fix any issues. U/V does not even bother to determine what versions of his products you already have and just downloads and replaces everything every time you run it. This is laziness of the highest level. Compare this to the brilliance of Flightbeam, LatinVFR, Drzewiecki Design, or ORBX, where for the same money you get professionally designed everything that works. GO spend your money there.
I actually gave up months ago on FSDT and accepted I was a complete fool for spending all the $$$ I did here. I'd not used the products for a long time. The only reason I came here today was to scoff at the pitiful 21% discount offered to those of us that suffered through this shit. At first I read the discount as only costing 21% of the full price and I still thought it was too much for those of us that recently got KORD, but I was curious enough to come and see. Of course one of the first posts I see is clarification that the upgrade discount is THE worst upgrade discount I've ever seen in my 27 years of flight simming.
ETA
I did not want an upgrade to KORD. I just wanted it to work as advertised. You know . . . FIXED!
-
I'm in the exact same situation. Old KORD is activated and actually even installed. I also tried deactivating/activating it just in case. Ran the FSDT Live Update several time...
When I click the purchase button I never get the discout message or the discount itself. Screenshots attached

Not sure what is going on with you...they all work here.
-
Not sure what is going on with you...they all work here.
Of COURSE they all work, and everybody knows that. That post from ArJuna is so wrong, on each and every single sentence, that I wouldn't even know how to begin to reply to is. With so much factually wrong information spread around, I would simply have to spend too much time, since there isn't a SINGLE sentence that doesn't contain wrong facts.
But of course, since this is FSDT, and we have a Trial, doing such unfunded allegations is already embarrassing on itself for the OP because, of course, everybody, even those that haven't bought anything yet, can easily see how wrong they are.
So much for the "warning". That's the beauty of the Trial: thanks to it:
- Users that don't know how to maintain their system and have it messed up, can save their money, don't buy our products, and be happy in their own fantasy they "don't work"
- All other users, which fortunately are the vast majority ( we wouldn't be around for so many years, selling "NOT WORKING" products WITH A TRIAL...), can happily see how good all our products works, with no need for such useless "warnings".
So, he said he doesn't want to buy anything else from FSDT ? That's ok, that's why we have a Trial for.
-
So is there anything to do when the old scenery is activated and that the discount is not applied when pressing the buy on the web button in the Addon Manager ?
-
Oh dear...unnecessary complicated installation procedure along with poor and insufficient instructions - a mixture bound to go wrong!
And so it did!
-
Well somehow it finally works for me. I have no idea of what's changed, I've not changed anything to what I was doing yesterday and now it is okay.
-
Oh dear...unnecessary complicated installation procedure along with poor and insufficient instructions - a mixture bound to go wrong! And so it did!
The reality is, instead, an extremely easy installation, which is so easy, that doesn't really require any instruction. What's so complex just installing, starting the sim and looking at the working scenery ?
Or, do you really mean the ACTIVATION procedure ? Or, do you really mean the Activation of the old KORD in order to get a discount, the one we posted a week in advance on our forum and on Facebook and on our mailing list, to give users time to look for they old O'Hare orders and prepare for it ?

So my P3D v4.5/Hotfix that works FLAWLESSLY with more than $3k in P3Dv4 ONLY addons is not qualified to run FSDT products? As I predicted, you attack the messenger and their PC for all the issues with your software. Explain to me how a GSX Level 2 bus can show up at my PMDG 737-700, sit for a few minutes, and not a soul ever walks onto or off of the plane? Explain how when using GSX pushback that when I end pushback and the ground crew disengage that my aircraft (any aircraft) will often get locked into an infinite backwards roll. Only brakes can stop it, but not even giving Full throttle will move your aircraft forward? I am forced to quit P3D and start over and NOT use GSX pushback. AFAIC the only feature of GSX level 1/2 that works is the follow me car, marshalling, catering, and the fuel truck, though the latter is poorly done and sometimes the marshaller is hovering 50 feet above the tarmac in mid-air.
Of course this previously Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer who has build more than a hundred PC's has no clue how to build a PC according to you. My P3D PC is dedicated to P3D ONLY and has nothing else installed on it that is not P3D v4.x related.
You're a loser and a fraud!

THANK YOU SIR!!! Couldn't agree more. Glad someone is standing up to him. I just uninstalled the new KORD V2. Give me a break on the 4k texture BS. Its not even HD. Floating buildings he blames on LM and says there is nothing he could do. Then he releases an update all of a sudden that fixes it. Soooooo why did he release KORD like that in the first place if he could have fixed it before release?

I also have this issue and I did download the utility from the url, but it does not work see printscreen, where can I find the GSX in the parking customization page? and which files do I need to removed? thank you.

So my P3D v4.5/Hotfix that works FLAWLESSLY with more than $3k in P3Dv4 ONLY addons is not qualified to run FSDT products?
Not if they were made by following 100% the standard SDK. As proven by our fix, we FIXED this bug by creating the terminal as a Simobject handled by our own software, since the bug in the sim affected only PBR sceneries made with BGL.
As I predicted, you attack the messenger and their PC for all the issues with your software.
I don't know what you are trying to say here, but the only one "attacked" here was me, when I tried to explain why this bug in the sim happens.
Explain to me how a GSX Level 2 bus can show up at my PMDG 737-700, sit for a few minutes, and not a soul ever walks onto or off of the plane?
I cannot explain it, because it doesn't happen. Since this is not obviously relevant here, why you don't do a proper report on the GSX forum and we'll see why is happening and if it's really a GSX bug ?
Explain how when using GSX pushback that when I end pushback and the ground crew disengage that my aircraft (any aircraft) will often get locked into an infinite backwards roll.
I cannot explain it, because it's the first time ever somebody reported it. See about about reporting issues totally unrelated to KORD
fuel truck, though the latter is poorly done and sometimes the marshaller is hovering 50 feet above the tarmac in mid-air.
Again, make a proper description on GSX forum to indicate why you think something is done "poorly". And no, the marshaller never hovers back anywhere. As explained so many times on the forum, those are usually a result of scenery elevation conflicts, with the most common cause being OrbX Vector. Of course, GSX has a fix for that, the Airport Elevation field in the editor.
You're a loser and a fraud!
And you gained a ban from this forum. Congrats.

the new KORD V2. Give me a break on the 4k texture BS. Its not even HD
I don't know what you are talking about. Most of the scenery textures are 2K, and the underlying background is 8K divided 4K textures arranged in a 2x2 format. This is not really open to debate, and everybody can see how good it looks like.
. Floating buildings he blames on LM and says there is nothing he could do. Then he releases an update all of a sudden that fixes it.
Are you trying to say we should't have released a fix which SIDESTEPS a bug in the sim, and forced you to wait for LM fix, just to prove the point we were right it was their bug to fix ? Do you even understand HOW the fix works ? I'll repeat it again, you won't probably want to listen, but one never lose hope...
- The bug in the sim can only affect sceneries made in PBR, using the .BGL format. Not all of them, of course and obviously not in all situations.
- The bug in the sim can be fixed by converting the object as a Simobject, which is how we always used to do all our sceneries before. Simobjects can cause a pause when their are loaded, that's why we wanted to use .BGL for the big part of the scenery for this one, so users could stop saying "FSDT sceneries stutters". If we made the scenery like KMEM, for example, nobody would have noticed this bug, ever.
- We converted the T5 object from .BGL to a Simobject, and sidestepped the bug, which is still there.
- The bug will be fixed by LM. When they'll release the fix, we'll update the T5 again back to the .BGL format, because the less Simobjects there are, the smoother the scenery loads, since .BGL files are pre-loaded before startup and loaded in the background, without causing a pause
Soooooo why did he release KORD like that in the first place if he could have fixed it before release?
For the obvious reason we couldn't replicate the bug in ANY way.
We could only replicate it on the detailed part of the T5, which was already released a Simobject in the initial release. We couldn't see anything wrong in the low-detail object, so we left it as a .BGL and after user reported problems with it, we just convert it to a Simobject, like the detailed part.

I don't understand why but not once you have suggested anything to people having problems with discounts not applied, only replied once and said "it works for other so problem is you"...

Because it's true, of course, since the Coupon works, and we can see it, since we obviously have daily sales stats that tell us how many people are using the Coupon (which is the vast majority).
A few people that contacted us by email, which of course is the only place to discuss things related to orders (since we might have to discuss personal details), have been explained of their mistake.
There wast just a single case in which the coupon really didn't work for some reason, and for this single case, we create a special order manually, so the user got his discount anyway, because he understood these issues cannot be discussed in public and contacted us by email, which of course has been explained so many times on the forum, and it's indicated in all our manuals too.

Its not only KORD that does this guys. I think hes right that it has to be something from LM side.
But: LatinVFR had these kind problems with PBR too, as well as Aerosofts EHBK and also SImwings GCLP, where objects spiked out of ground and others floating in air. LatinVFR also seem to have found the issue and could fix it.
See the last changelog
Change log:
1- Ground polygons sinking with PBR materials.
2- Spikes on the airport after arriving from a flight, with PBR materials which happened to some
systems. Now it won’t occur on ALL systems.

We temporarily fixed it too, 2 days after release. And yes, it will be fixed by LM, but in the meantime our fix works.

The procedure to apply the discount requires a very strict adherence. I did initially have a problem but I went back and reread it and reapplied and it worked. The only thing I found challenging was digging up the original FSDT V1 activation email etc. because it was purchased from another website.
