Oh I see, but it seems difficult to be seen, will it affect the performance of the pilot?

now now, i shouldnt take that personally right? i do see multiple requests on this forum daily. Boring? (whatever that means, all airports have runways and terminals last i checked) and never do i see a response such as that their choice in what they would like to see made as not up to the standards that you would maybe like to see, but none the less mean something to the person requesting them. Lets refrain from picking out one persons (or maybe a couple here) wants and focus more on the gem that has been presented to us

Manny got lucky and the airport he really wanted ( Kai tak ) gets made, I think he was just busting your chops is all. I'm sure he's wanted airports that are sparse, like KASE. :twisted:

Looks great! Did you guys even flinch when 9Dragons released theirs? I never bothered to get it because there were like 7 different downloads or some crap.

thought that was the case, just sitting here patiently now waiting...KASE would be cool though, no good one for FS9 and nice terrain.

Give the guy lots of credit, he spent a lot time making 9D and could easily have a much different attitude about Flytampa's version. The thread at avsim was full of haters ( it is avsim after all ) and he jumped in the thread and shut them down, giving lots pf praise to Martin and his upcoming version.

Actually, as I am one of the citizens living in Hong Kong, I think the bus and ferries are very realistic, so I think this is a very well prepared and very great work in deed.

I would imagine that was George, and it was a great easter egg.

Yeah, it was me. I forgot about them & Martin prob didn't notice it.
The Jetway was originally for the doomed KBUF (World's most boring airport) Five Two Foxtrot is so exciting, eh Manny ;)

now your just making it hurt, please.. maybe boring is that far off the mark but damn i was sure hoping, reading that it was possibly going to be done kept me coming back here for the last 2 years. I mean Buffalo, who thinks of us (aside from all the nonsense sports stuff) so to think there was a glimmer of hope..wow, well the excitement was fun i must say while it lasted.

That was only because of AVSIM's limited upload size, it can be downloaded from www.fsfiles.org in one download

I never got it because I loved the simplicity of TK's VHHH but that all got shot to s#!t upon seeing these screenshots. I'm already planning to reroute some of my AI VHHH inbound/outbound flights to Kai Tak as it was always overcrowded there anyway. I can't wait to fly an A340-500/600 on that checker board approach (coming from Dubai of course).
