Article/Review: Ultimate City X: Chicago

Those of you that started using flight simulator before FS2004 came along, are no strangers to virtual Chicago. Indeed, until FS2004, the default flight started at Meigs airfield, just off the shore of the city of Chicago – “the windy city”. I still remember increasing the throttle on that little default Cessna, taking off and looking at the “detailed” buildings that were the Chicago skyline. This is FS98 I’m talking about. Now, after over 10 years, I return to Chicago.
