Kai Tak

EHM-1617 Iain:
This is a place where you can discuss anything about the old airport of Hong Kong, Kai Tak.

Watch this video. Click videos then the top one.

If you don't know what all the hype is about, then look at the IGS Instrument Guidance System approach to runway 13.

EHM-1539 Pierre:
My only regret if i can become an airliner pilot someday... Kai Tak is closed :/
But I still can land in FS, with the good old checkerboard ^^

I would recommend this DVD http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=ITV-74C-001

It's very instructive for people who didn't have the guts or time to go through the 747-400 Aircraft Operating Manual by Boeing, or master 744 PS1 simulator from Aerowinx.
Several good things explained, and nice landing at Kai Tak.

It can be useful too to prepare for the PMDG 744 ;D

EHM-1617 Iain:
I have a commercial scenery for the area called Hong Kong 2004, I like very much, reopens Kai Tak, ads IGS signal and associated NDBs etc, all buildings with photographic textures, the checkerboard, the stadium, all the landmarks, the IGS transmitter...

EHM-1539 Pierre:
Have it too, but not using it anymore, it's nice but a real framerate killer, and not looking that smooth :/

EHM-1617 Iain:
The only disappointment for me are the mountains, otherwise my PC is up to the FRs and I get about 20FPS.
