HK - VHHH(ex) KAI TAK AIRPORT online

I had announced that I would create the legendary KAI TAK airfield in Hong Kong for FS4.

On March 6th, 2021 brunnobellic released a version for FS2 (https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index…ta-for-testing/). This was quickly adapted (but I haven't published it yet).

Since I wanted it to be closer to the former reality, I started to recreate KAI TAK based on old plans. Since there are no IMAGES as a base, I unfortunately have to redesign it, which takes more time than originally estimated.

I have found my system of using the available lines, buildings and starting positions as tools to build as realistically as possible. And so I'm now getting better and better at making rapid progress. The structure of the western part is already finished, the eastern part is in the process of being built.

But I don't know yet whether I'll be able to achieve my goal of having the eastern part structurally completed by tomorrow evening (Christmas Eve).

It's so stormy over Germany at the moment that Santa Claus just dropped the BETA version of KAI TAK INTL AIRPORT from his sleigh. I will post the airfield in Flight-Sim.org when it is sufficiently developed. But maybe some people might enjoy testing something over the holidays.

Have fun and Merry Christmas. 🎄

I'll try to simulate IGS approach too — let's see if it works.

There is a new BETA version that now includes all surfaces and lines, and the lighting is also ready. All that's missing now are the static objects that make an airport endearing.Over the next few days I'll try to get the terminal building even better.

When approaching the RW13, the really annoying high-rise buildings are hidden. The CHECKER BOARD is indicated, but unfortunately almost impossible to see, I still have to get to it here too.

Have fun trying out this beta version. I think that I will be able to upload the final version to Flight-sim.org in a few days.

Thanks for the tip about the tower view, I still have to adjust the height, direction and position by hand.

I just noticed that in VHHX the tower view doesn't work, but corresponds to the flyby view.

I'll have to see if this has something to do with VHHX or if there's a general error here. Until recently I was able to add the tower view manually in a TAP file.

So, before KAI TAK INTL with landing and taking off animated planes will be coming soon, today there is an add-on that concerns the city and the port:

Have fun with it.

Dear fans of KAI TAK INTL AIRPORT, which grass color should I choose?

I placed the 7 possible grass areas on the water surface of the KAI TAK APROACH CHANNEL:

This is what it looks like when enlarged (numbering from left to right: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7):

Now KAI TAK INTL AIRPORT looks like this:

I think tomorrow I'll finish KAI TAK INTL AIRPORT with animated air traffic, checkerboard and passenger terminal (all from @brunnobellic's FS2 project).

VHHH(ex) KAI TAK INTL AIRPORT is online:

• VHHH(ex) KAI TAK INTL AIRPORT - (Edition: 2024-01-10)

More airfields and helipads will soon follow in Hong Kong, a start has already been made:

Moin Pascal,

thank you for liking it. 😁

Let's see if I can control the speed on the streets with the helicopter 🚗🚓🚁. The sailboats are also traveling a little too fast for me.

I will later publish the setting options with which both the circulation frequencies and the circulation speeds can be adjusted.

Tschüss, Michael

The animations in Hong Kong are now better adjusted:

• Carousel:
  - The carousel rotates at 6 rpm - no one gets sick.
• Sailboats:
  - The four sailboats sail at ~8 or ~10 kt -- depending on the local wind.
• Hong Kong Ferries:
  - The well-known ferries now run at ~10 kt - enough time to relax..
• Container Ship:
  - The container ship is also only allowed to travel at 10 kt when traveling in the area.
• Cars:
  - In the city the speed is now ~55 km/h (kph) / ~35 mph.
  - The speed on the highway is now 93 km/h (kph) / ~58 mph.

The animated air traffic is also adapted:

• The flight speed is now only 150 kt, the minimum for the five aircrafts.
• This roughly results in these time windows for takeoffs and landings:
  - 00:00 - 00:30
  - 00:30 - 00:50 landing Concorde
  - 00:50 - 01:30
  - 01:30 - 01:50 landing aircraft
  - 01:50 - 03:30
  - 03:30 - 03:50 landing aircraft
  - 03:50 - 09:10
  - 09:10 - 09:30 landing B747
  - 09:30 - 10:30
  - 10:30 - 10:50 landing aircraft

I'm attaching the two corrected files for those of us who are more experienced to test.

If it fits, I will adjust the overall packages tomorrow.
