Almost 10 years after the actual airport was closed, FlyTampa reanimated the Kai Tak International Airport of Hong Kong for the Flight Simulator. It took fourteen months to create a scenery which not only brings a closed airport to life again but also provides the possibility to take a look at one of the most pulsating cities of our planet.

All of this is combined with a high frame rate, typical for FlyTampa. Approaching the airport is an exceptional adventure.

Features:

• Hong Kong city scenery consisting of mesh, landclass, photoground and Thousands of custom buildings.
• Kai-Tak International (VHHX, closed 1998) airport scenery.
• Highly detailed curved Checkerboard approach.
• 2 Heliports (Peninsula Hotel rooftop, Shun-Tak Ferry heliport).
• Animated AI-Ships including Hong Kong's Starferry, junkers, barges etc.
• Custom animated car traffic & FSX-traffic throughout the city.
• Unique night effects like animated Lightbeams, haze-glow and Fireworks display.
• Includes both FS2004 and FSX-SP2 versions. FSX version is fully FSX-SP2 compliant.

Conclusion by Avsim.com:
"Thanks to Fly Tampa, Kai Tak is now re-opened, and I cannot say how glad I am that it is! After seeing hundreds of videos of 747s and A340s turning final at the checkerboard hill, I was finally able to do it at the controls of my very own virtual airliner. Despite the two issues with this scenery (Fences, and Possible Frame Rate issues at higher settings) it is definitely a winner in my book. Unlike most scenery packages, you get most of a densely packed city as well as the airport in the package, and it is all extremely well executed. I found myself being blown away by the detail every time I took off, and found myself wanting to come back for more, as I was afraid that I was going to miss something. I truly enjoyed my time at Kai Tak, and it will be an overseas destination of mine for years to come!"

Conclusion by FlightSim.com:
"All in all, FlyTampa's Hong Kong Kai-Tak is a magnificent add-on, so if you love Hong Kong, or love flying that world-famous checkerboard runway 13 approach, even if you're just a guy looking to get some decent city scenery, this add-on is a must-have."

Conclusion by Simaviation.com:
"...The final flaw that will really get to people is performance. With so much custom scenery, there’s no way performance can be better than default, and this Hong Kong is no exception. Frame-rates will drop by quite a bit with this scenery, using the intensive options or not, however if you had default Hong Kong running well before, there’s a good chance that given a little configuration time, you’ll find a good balance between performance and detail to still find it enjoyable to fly over. All in all, FlyTampa’s Hong Kong Kai-Tak is a magnificent addon, so if you love Hong Kong, or love flying that world-famous checkerboard runway 13 approach, even if you’re just a guy looking to get some decent city scenery, this addon is a must-have."

Conclusion by Flugsimulation.com:
"Erneut ist es Martin Brunken mit Fly Kai Tak gelungen seinen bequemen Sessel im Szenerie- Olymp zu bestätigen. Sowohl die Umsetzung des geschlossenen Flughafens als auch jene der Metropole ist von oberster Güte. Wenige Szenerien kommen mit solch einem Umfang und der gebotenen Qualität daher und lassen die Redaktion zu einer einstimmigen Kaufempfehlung kommen. Zu einem angemessenen Preis von 27€ erhalten dabei sowohl Airlinerpuristen als auch Sichtflieger eine wunderbare Umsetzung einer faszinierenden Stadt und eines berühmt berüchtigten Flughafens, der bis zu seiner Schliessung für viel Spektakel sorgte. Der Flughafen wirkt absolut authentisch, und es gibt nur wenige Szenerien, die von uns diese Bezeichnung erhalten. Aufgrund der Top- Qualität und dem gewaltigen Lieferumfang zeichnen wir die Szenerie Fly Kai Tak mit dem Award for Excellence aus."
