There are no issues or problems with KORD but, quite simply, the very fact that, when we said we would release KORD before the end of 2018, it was very early in the year, and there was no way to know P3D4 would have a PBR update so soon (we assumed it would came with V5).
Since we want for the new KORD to be the final word on that airport, and for the next real-world runway update, we don't want to do it again from scratch, we intend to make it as future proof as possible, so it will be a true ( the only one ) 100% PBR product, made for the ground up for a PBR sim, which means it won't work with anything less than P3D 4.4, and this is clearly causing a delay.
In addition to that, we are also working on a major update for GSX, which will update lots of the GSX objects to PBR (100% of the Jetways are being remade), which will also increase the visual quality of many stock objects in GSX which were starting to show their age, and this is causing an additional delay to KORD but, as explained so many times when replying to delays of new products, we ALWAYS give priority to updating products that are already out, in respect to users that paid for them, before releasing new products.
