I heard that they are going rebuild meigs along with a city park, because it was an illegal closure, and GA traffic to midway went through the roof

Anyone know how said 16 aircraft managed to get out.....bit by bit in the back of owners cars, or where a couple of holes filled in for the day??

...I liked Meigs in my early sim days because it was to me the perfect place to practice my flying skills .......for one thing it was easy to find being on the coast near a big city. You could always look around and see it there when you were all but lost.......... and also being aligned North South made it simple to line up for landing practice..........the other large airports dotted around gave ample scope to practice more skills such as ILS approaches etc.........

Trying to get some of the bigger crates off there was fun too..........my incredible FS flying ability (cough cough) owes a lot to that little field and I'd be sorry to see it go..........commoner Cry Cry Cry

I liked Meigs, but what would be nice to have would be an option to have a random flight generator for the default. Make firing up FS a nice surprise...

It doesn't have to be a Cessna or even at an airport. Set the flight up exactly as you wish, then save it under an appropriate name & check the "Make this the default flight" box. You can save it from any view (like Spot or Virtual Cockpit View) you wish. For example; if I want to practice landing my favourite Tiger Moth at my local airport of Shoreham I save the flight when I'm on the approach & make it the default flight. I also use this method when testing/setting up new aircraft, panels & scenery as it makes it so much easier & more convenient.

i usually have the previous flight as default, that way it starts up where i left it.

They were given a brief window to take off using the taxiway one day.

Microsoft (not M$! word from one guy's mouth is they absolutely hate being called M$) is definately sympathetic to Meigs, that is why it was left in FS2004. I think they will go the same way with FSX. KSEA will be the default start, but Meigs will still exist in-game, and you will be able to select it.

I've driven past what was once Meigs last summer.  The tower was still there, it still looked like an airport.......an abandoned airport.

I think when you install FSX you should be able to select everything like default start airport, mabye load real world weather on startup, system settings. Make life alot easier 'cause when i fire up FS X  for the first time i dont want to take 20+ mns to adjust settings, I want to just hit "fly now" and go!

I think the general FS community would prefer keeping Meigs field rather than updating it to Meigs park (sic).

I know I would.  Daley was way out of line for sending in those non-union guys to Meigs to carve up the runway in the middle of the night.  I say, we keep Meigs in FSX.
