Martin,

I'm a native of the South Side of Chicago and grew up roaming the concourses of MDW as a kid. I'm speechless. You have my vote for "lifetime acheivement award in the field of flight simulation scenery design." Thank you. thank you. THANK YOU! Someone has finally done my beloved "Busiest Square Mile in Aviation" justice! I'm speechless over here!

Top notch stuff, lives up to FlyTampa's name most definitely!

Except I'm confused now...

1. When?
Fly-Midway will be released soon, next week the latest I hope.
.
.
.
6. What will the next scenery release be?
Fly-Seattle will be our next release.

Does this mean that Midway is going to be released before Seattle? Or will Seattle come out sometime before now and next week, with Midway coming out just a few days after? Personally I'm more excited for Seattle but that's only because KSEA is my home airport

Martin thank you so much for deciding to do KMDW. I am just south of Chicago and have been to Midway several times. It is definetly a unique airport and and definetly needed to be done. I was waiting for Oss to do theirs, but obviously they will never get around to it.

Thanks Andrew

Cool, what a pleasent surprise. And how u kept it away from us this whole time. Maybe this will eliminate those really annoying threads of "Whats next" or "when can we expect another scenery"

Thanks!

Thank you for all comments.

It just won't be the same landing at Midway w/o staring down at the customers looking up at you from the windows while downing those deliciously grease-filled, tiny hamburgers.

I don't think this is there anymore, at least I couldn't find it on www.whitecastle.com restaurant locator. If someone shows me its still there I'll be happy to put it in

Yes, Midway will be released first.

Those shots leave me speechless: another AIA heaven, near my favourite US destination, Chicago !

Looks like an awesome job Martin, thank you soo much...and thank you also for previewing your scenery with those nice AI stuff which give even more to the scenery. Thanks again. Cant wait to have a cheeseeburger menu at this restaurant right down the threshold after my flight.

Hello Martin. As a Southwest pilot based at KMDW. Just have to say. You have done a fantastic rendition of the airport. Especially all the little nuances that surround the field.

I agree re; White Castle. Have had many a midnight snack, eating those "sliders". Usually after a visit to my friend Andy's Mr C's Tavern.

We are always getting comments from pax, after our appch. and landing on 31C. They can't believe how close the houses and buildings look.

At anyrate, keep up the great work. Hopefully we'll see KDAL or KHOU someday. Maybe even a rendition of KLAX with the FlyTampa touch.

Thanks again, for all your hard work; and these "framerate friendly" fantastic airport renditions.

I'll certainly be looking forward to KMDW.

Best,
David
