Well, the scenery looks amazing! However, this is a huge disappointment, considering Kai Tak has been closed for years now.

Oh well, so much for the people who said FT would never release another scenery... :lol:

As good as 9Dragons is, this is of far higher detail.  The billboards are clearer, and there are far more buildings that look better.  The Island side has also has the dense buildings, to be expected of payware.  If it's decent on the frames, count me in!

(And it's not as if they would have ditched an 8 month ongoing project because of 9Dragons).

I thought 9D was good but omg this is just mindblowing. I need a lie down.

Kai Tak and HongKong is the holy holy grail of FS. Absolutely should be done by FlyTampa - spot on choice  :lol:

Looks amazing but I would have rather seen them put their skills into an airport thats actually in operation, I think its better to leave things like this to the freeware devs. Plus 9d did an awesome job on it.

RoniisH, why? good business decision too - I hope they do Maderia for FSX!

Anyone know what FT are like with releases etc? huge delays with endless promises not met? It looks pretty complete by the looks of it...

I can't help but imagine the performance will be abysmal though.. especially in FSX, worse enough flying the PMDG 747 in FSX into Kai tak with the freeware scenery for Kai tak on AVSIM..

They shut themselves in a closet for a year whilst they develop the project without a word or hint to the public. From what I've seen in the passed with the release of TNCM we won't be waiting more then a month for the release of this.

FlyTampa strives to not only bring very highly detailed, and quality scenery, but very performance friendly scenery as well. Their may be a slight hit, due to the complexity of the scenery however "abysmal", I think very far from that.
