This 25 minute radio broadcast is being presented to you by the generosity of radio producer John MacCalman as part of the 9Dragons Pre-Release. Originally broadcast in 1998 before the closure of Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong, it gives an interesting and in-depth view from real-world pilots who used to fly into this infamous airport and it's challenging IGS 'Checkerboard' Approach. So sit back, grab a cup of Joe and listen to Tales From Kai Tak. 9Dragons - Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong - A MilesHigh Production.

Shamir - Glad to see you are step ahead of the game preparing your AI traffic file.  I have seen it take that long in the past if you have a huge traffic file.  Mine is like 80MB.  But not to worry.  If you feel it got "stuck".  Just try again with the file.  Can't hurt anything.  :lol:

If you are using WOAI you could have aircraft sitting there if the AFCAD is in this file. I just checked WOAI web site airport tool and they have LOTS of companies at that AP... That is if I am correct that this AP is code VHHH, http://www.world-of-...om/airports.php . Now I guess landing and take off could be another problem.

EDIT... Opps this is VHHX sorry, no WOAI there.

:lol: Finally some awesome freeware for Kai Tak with excellent representation of Hong Kong City comparible to Aerosoft. I have been waiting a long time for this. I will keep my eyes open for parts 2-5. Installation is a lot easier than it looks; trust me I have been simming as of now, 8 years.

"its actually possible to get the AI to work there as well?  Do they follow the IGS approach?"

Yes, not only does the AI aircraft work there, they follow the curved IGS approach as well!  We have a section in the manual called 'Plane Spotting', specifically for watching your AI attempt the landing.  :lol:

Oh Yes, AI will work; The manual [Part 1 of 5] explains this piece of the puzzle. Basically, all AI Traffic will be transfered from Chek Lap Kok Airport (VHHH) to Kai Tak Airport (VHHX) which will leave VHHH completely deserted; but you can change that back again. Just read the Pilot's Manual and it will explain everything.
