Virtual Gaming Environment
Meigs is the default airport for the Microsoft Flight Simulator series until Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, though the airport remains operational in Flight Simulator 2004. In Flight Simulator X, it was completely removed from the scenery. Third party add-ons are available to add Meigs back in, while others close or remove the airport for previous versions of the game.
In Midtown Madness released by Microsoft in 1999, the player is free to drive around a computer-generated version of the Meigs field, as well as in Driver 2, released in 2000 by Reflections. The airport was also featured in the 2007 racing game Need for Speed: ProStreet as a race track.

Famous quotes containing the words virtual, gaming and/or environment:
“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
“Sir, I do not call a gamester a dishonest man; but I call him an unsocial man, an unprofitable man. Gaming is a mode of transferring property without producing any intermediate good.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Modern man’s capacity for destruction is quixotic evidence of humanity’s capacity for reconstruction. The powerful technological agents we have unleashed against the environment include many of the agents we require for its reconstruction.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
