Merril C. Meigs Field (KCGX) for Flight Simulator 2020
by Guillermo Zulueta (C)
Version 1.5

No need to explain the nostalgic importance of this airfield... Just enjoy it and remember those good old days! ;)

Important Note: Since the release of Meigs Field Pro-Version, freeware version will no longer be improved, but will provide functional support for next updates of Flight Simulator 2020.

Version 1.5

- Solved a problem afecting some users where the airport needs to be reinstalled after each FS update.
- Added new lightpoles to imporve night lighting.
- Improved runway, painted lines and apron textures.


Known issues:

- The water lake can still be seen in the G1000 GPS screen. This is due to actual limtations of the SDK when creating airports over wild land (land where ther was no previous airport coded in the game). I´m working on it but probably will have to wait until there is an SDK update.
