Chicago O’Hare International Airport (KORD) gets a chart-aligned layout refresh for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, with updated approaches, adjusted navaids, cleaner taxiway signage, smarter parking and service routes, and added ramp objects. An optional crosswind variant improves AI traffic flow by enabling fuller multi-runway departure and arrival use.
Enhance the realism of O’Hare International Airport (KORD) within Microsoft Flight Simulator X with this specialized scenery package created by Ray Smith. This freeware mod refreshes the airport layout, activates optional crosswind operations, and refines many core elements such as taxiway signage, aircraft parking assignments, and ground service routes.
Chicago O’Hare International Airport is known for its intricate runway system and high-traffic demands. In this add-on, both parallel and crosswind runways receive updated approaches, extended pavement where necessary, and adjusted navaids. The package introduces:
Included within the files is a variant that unlocks additional crosswind runway usage. Through crosswind activation, more runways are utilized for concurrent departures and arrivals, improving AI traffic flow. The technique behind this functionality builds on an approach pioneered by Jim Vile, seamlessly integrated here by Ray Smith using the ADE tool (Airport Design Editor by Jon Masterson).
This scenery mod comes with four BGL files:
Important Note: Only keep one RS.BGL variant active at any given time. Using both simultaneously may cause unintended parking assignments. Meanwhile, KORD_ADE_CVX.bgl should always accompany the active RS.BGL file.
If ATIS announcements refer to additional “fake” runways, these entries come from activating crosswind parameters. To exclude them, switch to the default KORD_ADE_RS.BGL.
Simply remove or delete the four BGL files from your setup folders. The default KORD setup will immediately be restored.
For those who enjoy exploring the airfield from the tower view, consider assigning a keypress or controller button to the “View track/pan Toggle.” Once configured, you can pivot a full 360 degrees from the tower perspective for a broader look at the new airport environment.
This freeware project is brought to you by Ray Smith. Special acknowledgement goes to Jon Masterson for the ADE utility and to Jim Vile for pioneering the crosswind runway methodology. Ray’s thanks also extend to his supportive spouse for enduring long development hours.
Fly with confidence in this fully modernized rendition of Chicago O’Hare, and experience a refined environment that reflects one of the world’s busiest airports. Safe flights!
