Here's more description of the Chicago suburbs.. know to the locals as
Chicagoland.. as seen from FS8. Not sure what FS9 presents, however
the city should be more like in the JPG below only to the EXTREME with
an orange gridwork of streetlights. Not easy to depict, but here
goes.. (dashed street layer added as an exhibit);

The following is a GPS view of the inbound track with 'arrow' object
marking approximately where the screencap was taken:

Also indicated with vector object is runway heading out of 22L.
Well you might say "cruddy old FS8.." but am having enormous
fun and enjoyment with it. This is what can be done with 512MB
RAM, 500MHz Xeons, FS8, an imagination for flying, PSP7, and
other addon stuff.
