PMDG Boeing 747-400 Cathay Pacific Rolls Royce RB211 engines.

Sounds: Default PMDG sounds

Scenery: Fly Tampa Kai Tak Hong Kong VHHX

Environment: Active Sky 6.5, Real Environment Pro, Ground Environment Pro, Zinertek Ultimate Water FX

Traffic: SkAI Traffic 2.3

Airport code and time: VHHX at 9:30 AM local time.

Kai Tak's International Airport (old Hong Kong Intl) was one of most dangerous airports to land at for heavy jets. Aircraft came dangerously close to the buildings beneath and it was closed down in 1998. The new airport, on the island of Chek Lap Kok is the new Hong Kong Intl.

The approach is challenging, but if you follow the real world approach charts, you'll be ahead of the aircraft, and you'll make a nice landing. Fly Tampa really worked themselves out on this scenery. It's THE BEST airport & city scenery I have every seen for FS. It's perfect, period. All of the buildings that are in the city of Kowloon are accurately modeled. The AI traffic had to be manually installed. I had to decompile SkAI and add in the airport code myself.
