October 28, 201015 yr Hi to everyone, I have a question regarding the 40 nm restriction and Hong Kong.In the real world all the traffic arriving at Kai Tak from the northwest (from Europe) would take the TAMOT STAR, which starts from TAMOT waypoint (to pass at FL150) then turn to the south to descend and then heading towards CH VOR, where the approach began.In FS TAMOT is close to the airfield, 10-15 miles west, and as Radar Contact requires me to be at FL 110-120 at 40 nm from the airport I cannot follow the SID as the real pilots would.Anyone know a way to get around this?Thanks in advance Specs: Windows 7 64bit / Intel Core i5-3550 @3.30 GHz / 8.00 Gb RAM / ATI Radeon HD 7800 2Gb

It is hard-coded into RC. If you want to fly this route then either terminate RC or ignore the warnings. Sorry I can't be more helpful but that's all I can think of. Clearly the old Kai Tak had a unique set of rules regarding altitudes on STARs. Ray (Cheshire, England).
