July 9, 20214 yr Also, the checkerboard for the IGS 13 approach to Kai Tak has been repainted and restored: . Another win for aviation fans! i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM
July 9, 20214 yr I would love to have flown that for real. There's another version on there that's a fair bit better than mine, but the developer is long gone and it looks like it's slowly dying as every update breaks something new. I should return to mine and spruce it up really but there were some annoying quirks I couldn't cure. I will class it as being from my early 'a bit clueless' phase.

July 20, 20214 yr So how do you use the checkerboard exactly? When do you make the 47 degree right turn? ASUS Prime Z490-A / i7-10700K / RTX 4080 / G.SKILL Ripjaws 32GB / Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic case

July 21, 20214 yr Author With the checkerboard on the left, you fly straight, over the buildings until you are just going to pass them and reach the hill (checkerboard hill). That's when you roll right. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

A sim instructor in HKG told me that be at 1200' , correct speed and at the outer marker start the turn. Also another trick used by a certain airline there was to fly with about 1 dot left deviation on the PFD. This puts you closer to Lion Rock but gives a much smoother turn. I am not a pilot but did many cockpit landings in to Kai Tak in 707's 747's L1011's, A330's & A320. Always a good view. Edited July 22, 20214 yr by trainnut
