FS2004 Hong Kong Kai Tak 1963 Scenery

Hong Kong’s legendary Kai Tak returns in its 1963 form for FS2004, with an 8,405‑foot runway, unfilled Kowloon Bay, and era-accurate navaids plus period charts. Curving approach lights and custom IGS-style procedures support authentic runway 13 arrivals, while included mesh and updated AI routing recreate the classic curved approach.

This is Kai Tak airport as it was in 1963. Kowloon Bay has yet to be filled in, and the runway is only 8405 ft long. Includes mesh files by Holger Sandmann and charts of the era scanned by Chic Eather. Navaids backdated to the early 60's, except the IGS for runway 13 is included although not actually installed until 1974. Curving approach lights will help you find the runway. Chek Lap Kok airport has been removed. The IGS and other approaches created by Jim Vile. The AI aircraft will follow the curved approach to runway 13 in good weather or bad. Please note that Jim Vile has produced a modern version of this airport (kaitak98.zip).

    Just installed this for my retro 1960s project for FS9 and holy crap is it satisfying seeing the AI traffic actually execute the Checkerboard approach! For once in MSFS I actually felt like I was watching the true intended approach. Just flew around the bay in a KC97 and watched some DC8's and 880's go through. Thanks so much!
