Chicago Ohare Taxiway Problem
« on: January 14, 2015, 01:21:46 pm »
At Ohare airport, these taxiways are supposed to be above the highway, like they are at KJFK (elevated taxiways). But instead, traffic crosses the taxiway. Planes are supposed to cross above the road and the cars at this point, not go right in their path.

How do I fix it?

You can't fix it, unless you just turn turn road traffic in the FSX settings. O'Hare simply doesn't have elevated taxiways.

We might offer some kind of stopgap solution, such as having those cars disappearing on one side of the taxiway, and reappearing on the other one. It won't look very nice though, but at least the cars won't cross the taxiways.

But it would be just a stopgap solution, the real solution would be updating the scenery with proper elevated taxiways, which is something will likely happen when we'll do a major update, like the one from JFK to JFK V2. This is something we'll surely do in the future, considering the real airport is in a constant evolutionary state, which means we should find the right time to do it.

Seeing as this is an older airport when you guys created it, I hope you get those in soon as they make a huge difference, as well as the new runways and taxiways.

You guys do realize that they are elevated in real life right?

What difference does it make ? We have several sceneries right now on sale that never had elevated taxiways, while their real life counterpart have them.

When we DO have elevated taxiways in a scenery, like in KDFW, JFK V2, KLAX, CYVR, we clearly indicates it as a feature in the features list, so you can decide if the feature list satisfies you enough in order to purchase the scenery. Nowhere in the feature list for O'Hare we say the scenery is supposed to have elevated taxiways.

And of course, we offer full working Trial version of everything so, even if you don't check the feature list published on the website, you can install and check the scenery, and if the lack of such feature is so important to you, it would be very obvious to you when installing the Trial version, so you can always decide not to buy the scenery, and eventually wait for an updated version.
