3.6/5 (63)


This scenery brings back the last days of Kai Tak. In these days more and more spectators crowded the famous parking house to witness the planes flying towards checker hill, at the landing light in Durham Road start banking into a tight turn, while just roaring over the cities rooftops. Approach by approach, in these days a spectacular air show was unfolding, and every captain rightfully could be proud like a display pilot flying tricky and difficult maneuvers in close proximity to the ground.The Hong Kong Kai Tak 1998 scenery is dedicated to the last days of Kai Tak. The scenery specifically shows many details, which were unique for that time.

The following highlights are included:

  • No AI cars on the apron, taxiways and runway!
  • Highly detailed terminal building
  • Final state of the airport
  • 3D airport shorelines
  • Four aircraft bridges - Totally four aircraft bridges carefully crafted as 3D models.
  • Sloped bridge - The longest bridge has modelled the shallow ramps from both sides. Taxiing over it you need to apply power on the first half and then brakes on the second half!
  • Hand drawn aerial image
  • Animated spectators - Exactly 1852 spectators are modelled in this scenery.
  • Aircraft carrier - On July the fourth 1998, the USN NIMITZ class aircraft carrier CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln arrived in Hong Kong to celebrate Independence Day.
  • Functional OLS (optical landing system) on the USS Abraham Lincoln in Victoria Harbour (limited visibility in VR)
