FSDreamTeam have updated their Chicago O’Hare airport for Flight Simulator X to version 1.1.

These are the fixes:

• De-Icing added in the Pad 28 Aerea, there are 4 vehicles, operating only in Winter with Snow
• Corrected some textures problems in the airport signs
• Corrected names for stands M1 to M6
• Night textures resolution doubled to fix the grid effect at night in FS9
• AFCAD - Fixed taxiways width
• AFCAD - Diamond technique used at runway intersections
• AFCAD - Added instrumental approaches in FS9

The default AFCAD file for FS9 use the latest parking definitions from Harpsi, but doesn’t use any kind of star method or other tweaks. We prefer to leave those for addons AFCAD.

We added instrumental Approaches in FS9 (we already had it in FSX), so you should see correct Approaches on the GPS and the ATC will know about those procedures as well. Previously, we didn’t have approaches for runways that changed names from default (for example, 10/28).

In FS9, since Approaches are in the AFCAD file, but are not recognized by AFCAD program, we made a separate file named APPR_KORD.BGL, that ONLY includes approaches so, it will be possible to tweak or replace the main AFCAD without losing the approach procedures, since they reside in a separate file.

To apply the update, simply download again the installer. You can either Uninstall 1.0 or not, it shouldn’t make any difference, but it will not hurt either if you choose to Uninstall 1.0 first. In any case, no registration info is ever lost, as long as you don’t reinstall Windows.
