Hello FSDT,

Just a quick question, has the update for KORD been released yet?

No, not yet. They've promised to do it once the source data is out.
I want the not-so-new runway too.  ;)

Agreed. It would be cool if I didn't take a 20-30% frame hit too. The loss has been the reason I don't own more FSDT stuff. Absolutely great work but the loss of frames is a killer. And I have 12g of ram, a 3.2ghz chip and two 1g video cards. Anywhere else in the world and I get triple digit frames.

The grass texture from REX (Freebe) is much better.

I am beginning to question the sincerity of the lack of information about KORD for the update.  It has been in operation for a long time and years in the planning.  I have JFK, Zurich, ORD.  I am not buying any others until ORD is updated.

If you read what virtuali said you'd know the source data needed is aerial photos, which are not updated very often. Virtual Earth and Google Earth, for example, haven't published imagery with the new runway yet. So before you start making false accusations can you kindly show everyone that updated imagery even exists...to my knowledge it does not. I'd love to be proven wrong, though, so we can all enjoy an up-to-date KORD in fsx/fs9.

You're missing out on their best sceneries, but that is your choice. No skin off my back.  ::)

So as I understand this. Their will not be an update for ORD, for a long time. Even as the real operation exit for a while now, using new rwy, etc. ???

Somehow their has to be a better solution to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there is a simple solution: hire some company to shoot high resolution aerial imagery of the area and have it processed so fsdt can work it into an update. unless you have the funds to do so, just sit back and wait until the imagery shows up on the internet mapping services like we all do, hm?

Not unless you, or someone you know have access to the airport to take pictures.

http://www.bing.com/maps/   Zoom in on chicago, find the airport. Do bird's eye view on the area for the new runway rotate the camera so its facing south and theres the new runway in close up to get every little detail.  I dont know if anyone has found any thing on it but iam just trying to help. :)

We obviously know very well the MS Virtual Earth web site...

However, The top view is still not updated, which is the most needed one, to take precise measurement and georeferencing, and to blend it correctly the the rest of the ground scenery.
