YT video showing IGS approach including ATC by Air New Zealand in 1990 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cSKetr3SE8

Note:  IF you see two runways overlapping, it means you still have another version of Kai Tak installed. This will need to be deleed by going into content manager in the main msfs menu..

Update 4.2

This version includes several fixes, along with updated v.2 AI traffic files and period-correct AI models (thanks to AIG).

its not perfect but AI traffic in this sim is a challenge

Please note that the additional AI traffic may cause a drop in frame rates, depending on your system.

Important:
If you do not want to install AI traffic, only install the base package file: ali501-kaitak.

Installation Instructions:

1. Unzip file.
 
1.Copy and paste all 4 files into your MSFS Community folder.

Thank you, and enjoy!

(It has had some testing. but comprehensive testing is for payware :)). if you do notice any serious issues message me or leave a comment. Thanks

Patch to fix the issue of planes falling through Kai Tak bridge

This is a rebuild of the entire airport, the main terminal has been redesigned to try and reflect more accurately to how the terminal was when the airport closed, including adding the interior, a New main Hangar with aircraft parking, a new Cargo terminal, other buildings have been redesigned and retextured.

 

 

 

Update 3.2.1

 code in the ILS for both approaches (13/31) correctly. 

Sim Update 10 compiled 3.2.0

Rebuilt runway to try and solve the issue of missing runway lights that some people were having

Adjusted lead in lights to be brighter when on turn to final

Added custom markings to the runway to be more accurate to  Kai Tak original.

Fixed jetway that was separated from linkspan.

Improved ground textures in a lot of areas

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a fix on the cars crossing the runway yet

 

3.2

Fixed a number of issues

Multiple new building models and retexturing, including fuel storage tanks and baggage building

Modified jetways

Adjustment of lead in lights

Added new ground vehicles and improved ground textures

Version 3.1

Update to IGS approach lights to be more realistic 

Removed and replaced problematic Taxi model from the airport entrance

Texture Changes and small fixes

 

Version 3.0

Basic AI aircraft file added. Ai Aircraft(if turned on) will now populate the airport, however be warned that MSFS AI is not the best and issues such as AI aircraft taxing the entire length of the runway or flying through city buildings I cannot fix. Hopefully these issues will change in a future game update.
AI will also only use runway 31 for takeoff's and landing's  🤷‍♂️

Sea wall model added
Lighting changes to runway 13 approach
Many other small changes

 

Version 2.1.1

Update Includes

Various lighting modifications
Custom Shuttle Bus now added to gates replacing stock Asobo bus.
modified IGS for a slightly lower approach for the right turn.
various texture changes
numerous small tweaks

 

Version 2.1

Nav Data added

The long-promised SID and STARS have now been added natively as well as correctly programing the IGS and ILS for runways 13 and 31 respectively. you no longer have to manually add the ILG/IGS frequency in the FMC.
I will try to add the SC NDB approach at a later date.

Modified lead-in lights.
removed items left missed in the last update

Version 2.0

After many months of work version, 2.0 is here!

This was a near-complete rebuild of the entire airport (still a lot more to do)

New leadin approach light system.

90% of the buildings have been re-modelled and textured; this Includes the cargo building, maintenance hangers, fire stations and partial passenger terminal interior.

Well known Kai Tak advertising billboards included at the threshold of rwy13

New checkerboard.

Custom Apron lights.

Airfield height was raised to the correct height.

Road traffic driving across the runway and apron has been stopped.

the majority of random lights have now been removed. (a couple do remain, unknown why)

Signage and markings improved

I have not had time to add all SIDs and stars yet, (current file causes CTD so I have not included it)

If you use the ingame ATC for some reason it will always direct you to use rwy 31 for landings, I don't know why.

Don't forget to remove the previous version from the community folder.

Hong Kong Kai Tak with the famous runway 13 approach that closed in 1998,  little remains today of the original Airport with much of the site being redeveloped into housing and a cruise terminal. This scenery brings back that challenging approach passing low over the Kowloon district of Hong Kong the making a 47 degree right hand turn to line up with runway 13.
