Ahh darn. SamScene 3D's Hong Kong City Times was released to the MSFS marketplace today and I got it off the marketplace.  Unfortunately, it's not compatible with this new Kai Tak airport:

I was worried about this.  Oh well, maybe Asobo needs to add a way for us to prioritize or order the scenery in a future patch. I'm sure this problem will come up with other sceneries.

 

 

 

What is that garage doing in either of the scenery in that location?

Can you disable each one to determine which one has that garage in that location Samscene City HK or the new freeware Kai Tak?

That's the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. It's from the city scenery.

It's a cruise ship terminal.  It's from the Samscene scenery.  But Samscene is technically correct in that today in Hong Kong, a cruise terminal has been built on the old Kai Tak runway.  The problem is how to remove this cruise ship terminal so that the freeware Kai Tak scenery works properly.

Don't you see the cruise ship terminal too? I thought you purchased the Samscene scenery and also installed the Kai Tak freeware add on.

I have not bought the samscene as yet. I was considering it. Now I cannot unless that is rectified. Hmmm Or Learn to live with that "short runway". Ha Ha!

You might be able to get a version from their website without the cruise ship terminal.  Contact Sam Scene 3D and ask them.  They have a Facebook page where you can contact them as well.

There's an update for Kai Tak - read the author's comments!

Abrams, there is a new update for the Kai tak freeware.. can you please test this one and let us know please. 🙂

You may want to rename the freeware Kaitak to be first in the alphabet listing before the Samscene folder. This may not be necessary for you since you got the samscene HK from MSFS shop, the freeware in folder Community would be higher than the MSFS I am told.

Nice.  I was just about to report back that after some experimentation I determined that a "minimod" with just an exclusion rectangle over the area in question would block underlying (non-airport) scenery, which would have been an option here.  But that's not necessary if the dev did it themselves. 🙂

 

I'd really like a confirmation from Abrams/Tank on this.

Unfortunately, the new version of the freeware Kai Tak, version 1.1, with the new exclusion zone, does not fix this problem.  The cruise ship terminal is still there.  Having said that, Sam Scene 3D noted at simMarket.com that you can get a version of their scenery without the Kai Tak city area: https://secure.simmarket.com/samscene-hong-kong-city-times-for-msfs.phtml.  In the description of the product at simarket.com, look for point 11: "11. Compatible with other Kai Tak airport addon because the Kai Tak city area is an option to install !"

So I guess if you want a version of the Sam Scene 3D scenery without the cruise ship terminal, just avoid buying it from the MSFS marketplace.

As I mentioned in the post above, the cruise ship terminal is still there with version 1.1 of Kai Tak, after the developer, ali501, added the exclusion area.  But as you mentioned in the other thread, it seems that the exclusion area does not work on custom objects created by the developer.  Because I believe that cruise ship terminal is a custom object created by Sam Scene 3D.

I am going to check this Kai Tak and then buy Samscene HK

 

Not sure if these two would merge well. This freeware is pretty good. It has the checkboard and the rabbit approach lights and the soccer stadium as well. But not sure the scope and size of this addon to make sure how it sits with Samscene Hongkong city scene.

 

I believe that the ferry terminal can be removed by deleting the folder.

Hi.  Did you figure out which folder or files to delete for the ferry terminal?  I am referring tot he MSFS marketplace version of this scenery.

I am sorry that I do not have the marketplace version.

I can find these three  folders under the community folder:

samscene3D - hkvhhh

samscene3D - hkkaitak-city

samscene3D - hkcitytimes

So i think deleting the samscene-hkkaitak-city should do the tricks.

Can someone answer a question for me please?

I am only using Ali's Kai Tak, but sometimes when I enter in MSFS to use VHHX it is there and sometimes it is not to select.

When it is there, I get all the runway markings and lights, static items, etc. However, when it is not there to select, I only get a limited amount of items and none of the other items,

Any ideas on why? It is in the Content Manager.
