Review: Kai Tak 1998 The Last Days Are Back

[Nuno Pinto 1,415]

This is an awesome airport. Whenever i fly to Hong Kong i never even bother to use VHHH, i always land in VHHX, much nicer and, on top of that, challenging.

Hey Nuno, already 100% in MFS ? Waiting Fénix ?

No, there's no proper aircraft yet. I will move on once there's a good long hauler and maybe two good short-haulers one of them being the 737 from PMDG most surely. Fenix is vaporware as of now, but if it delivers what it claims, might well be "the" Airbus in MSFS.

Is it possible to get some traffic?

After further review, I have to admit that without AI & static models, I prefer freeware with the samscene fix. I hope the dev can add the AI. I sent @mrueedi a PM.

I second that: for previous versions (FS9 to P3D) I could reroute AI traffic and recompile the required BGLs. Has someone managed to do so in AIG AIM for MSFS?

Yes that would be great to get AI traffic to use the airport as well!

Thanks for your interest in my scenery and your ideas for improvements!

Static aircraft in a scenery is a bit of a doubled edged sword, because you cant use the blocked parking spots anymore for yourself (and you need to know, which parking spots are free when creating a flight) and tend to run into issues when doing VATSIM flights. So my question is what do you guys prefer?

As I assume that you guys prefer choice, let me elaborate a bit about options:

• There is a package for static aircraft from the AIG package on flightsim.to. I have checked it with my scenery and it is better than nothing, but the aircraft placement is not 100% matching the layout of my scenery. And you need to have installed AIG to use it.
• If you wish, I can create a likewise package for Kai Tak 1998. You would still be required to install AIG to use it (and within AIG the airlines I would pick the aircraft from!)
• For moving AI traffic, I am at the moment checking the options I have:
  1. Maybe an AIG based setup works. I am pretty sure, no IGS13 approaches could be done that way in MSFS.
  2. The second option would be an own tool, that spawns ATC controlled ai aircraft the same like AIG way via SimConnect. Also here, IGS13 is not expected to work. 
  3. The third option would be a super duper tool, that controls the aircraft similar to the way a replay tool would. This is the only option, for which I could implement the IGS13 approach.

What do you think?

I have AS Simple Traffic and with the freeware version there are static airliners and AI at the gates.

I would prefer something that would work with default which would mean AS ST compatibility.

An AIG version is also a good idea. AIG models are much better but a pain to update. AIG is still in beta but many users are enjoying it. I need to try AIG again to test AIG TC and with win 7 compatibility as another member suggested.

Thanks!

I'm already a customer. 😀

I bought it at simmarket a few days ago.

For me-----please no AIG,for the moment i use AS SimpleTraffic.

A stand alone Tool would be nice.

AS SimpleTraffic seems difficult, because that tool seems to just modify the default AI aircraft to "wear" real life liveries. It does not extend the network of the ai airlines to airports which are unavailable in default (like Kai Tak).

But here is my fresh-from-the-press static aircraft addon, which brings great realism (aircraft types and airlines from 1998) and which will be deployed to flightsim.to shortly. The aircraft are from AIG though:

Thanks! I want this ASAP.

I'm hoping that you can also include the option for default since that's what the freeware has and ST works fine.

Nice work!

Addon for static AIG aircraft is released:
