MSFS Product Updates & News / The University of Illinois Wil...
Last post by Gary Summons - Jan 30, 2025, 11:32 AMThe University of Illinois Willard Airport(KCMI) 2025 30th January 2025 **Released**
Youtube Video here:
The University of Illinois Willard Airport (ICAO: KCMI) s located south of Savoy in Tolono Township. The airport was dedicated on October 26, 1945, and named after Arthur Cutts Willard, who served as the university's president from 1934 to 1946. Scheduled airline service commenced in 1954. The original terminal, constructed in 1960, was replaced by the current facility in 1987.
In 1946, the university established the Institute of Aviation at Willard Airport, offering flight training and conducting research into aviation-related human factors. In 2014, Parkland College assumed responsibility for the flight training program. By 1969, Willard Airport had become the second-busiest airport in Illinois. However, following the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, many airlines reduced services to smaller airports, leading to a decline in passenger numbers at Willard. Despite these challenges, the airport continues to operate, currently offering non-stop flights to Chicago O'Hare and Dallas-Fort Worth through American Airlines.
For general aviation passengers, Flightstar provides amenities including crew cars, lounges, conference rooms, and an exercise room with shower facilities.
University of Illinois Willard Airport is also famous as one of the few airports that were included in the early versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator, when all we had were a few of lines drawn on a blue and green background!

Instead when you click the login link, it will be asked for your email, a list of your product links will then be sent to that email. Once you have this list, keep it safe or better still once you have downloaded the product files, keep them safe.
If your account email is different from your current active email, then you need to enter both.

Last post by Nic Green - Jan 14, 2025, 11:29 AMGary I'm on Xbox MSFS 2024 and while the Guernsey scenery has come across from MSFS2020, the core library has not (so no cars, aircraft, etc). This may not be anything you have any control over, or I may need to wait until the MSFS 2024 Marketplace is activated. In MSFS 2024, it seems to add its own random fuel bowsers and other items in addition to yours.

Had to make the airport lower as the MSFS Photogrammetry was messing up the terrain around the dock

Last post by Christopher Low - Dec 13, 2024, 05:14 PMThe delivery of updates on the MS Marketplace has been appalling recently. I got so fed up of waiting for a runway alignment upgrade to be uploaded for another developer's product (no sign of it after THREE MONTHS), that I (successfully) sent an order transfer request to move my purchase to the developer's site so that I could get the latest version. Absolutely ridiculous. The arrival of MSFS 2024 is no excuse.

MSFS Product Support / MS Marketplace issues
Last post by Gary Summons - Dec 13, 2024, 11:35 AMI'm aware that MS still don't make available some of your MSFS2020 purchases of UK2000 Airports in MSFS2024, I think Newquay is an example. I dont know why, MS have not responded to me on this matter, The airport certainly does works fine in 2024.
I'm sure at some point this will be sorted, but if your desperate to use it, then providing you can give me some proof of purchase I can send a ZIP, this will just be a short term gesture, The whole point of using sellers like the Marketplace and Simmarket is that they take on the responsibility of content delivery not me. Please use our support form to request a ZIP version along with proof of purchase form the MS Marketplace.

Last post by mikced 76 - Dec 10, 2024, 07:03 AMClearly you dont have the AIG latest venture into the world of GA then Chris with DynFP. Its GA traffic packages (Cessnas, Pipers etc) that install like any commercial airline package from AIG but it adds flying schoos and clubs etc in various regions of the world. UK especially is well represented. Its rapidly growing as well and Holland so far is above and beyond amazing.
Eighteen years with this hobby and I dislike static aircraft as much now as ever 😂

Last post by Christopher Low - Dec 09, 2024, 10:44 PMI think that static GA aircraft is a good compromise. The massive AIG AI database that I have installed works well as far as seeing realistic airliners and executive jets are concerned. In addition, the impact on performance is not as great as I had expected. I have my AI set to 100%, and I have a 2015 specification PC (i5 7600K @ 4.5Ghz/32BG DDR4-4200 RAM @ 3.6Ghz/6GB Nvidia GTX 980Ti).
The only problem I have concerns the animation and behaviour of the AI planes. Take offs and landings are very basic when compared to the smooth animations of AI planes in P3D, and runway control is all over the place (I have seen all four runways in use at the same time at London Heathrow)!
