The real airport is. But I know it can be hard to tell lately but this isn't
a flight sim newsgroup.

Just a little bit.

Seriously, in the default scenery for FS2004, it is definitely
gone. I don't own FSX (yet), but it's safe to say that it isn't in the
default scenery there either.

Incorrect. Not only is Meigs present in FS2004, but there is still a built-in
flight that starts at the field.

Umm.. WRONG.

Meigs looks like an island without a field in FS2004,
especially with the 9.1 patch for it. Meigs is gone in it.

My fault, guys.

I just checked mine, and I forgot I installed scenery to take
it out. I rarely fly out of it when I use it, so I never gave it a
second glance. My bad.

Is Meigs gone?

FSX has some good points. Flying the new Maule out of some of the
back-country strips in Idaho is quite stunning, for example. (And the
new Maule itself is wonderfully done...)

Unfortunately, even with the fastest computer, the frame rates on FSX
are not acceptable. In certain, high-graphics-intense situations, the
simulation becomes more of a slide show unless you turn realism
settings to unacceptably low levels.

Supposedly Microsoft is going to be issuing a patch to make it run
better. FS2004 is just a better product, until they do.
