OH MY GOD!

This looks frigging awesome, can't wait till this is out despite the relatively good freeware scenery that's out already

You folks always impress no matter what you make

EDIT: also after reading this comment from martin about a year ago gave me a very faint hope that they were making it, but i never expected it

. That would have to be a Flytampa Style Kai tak airport, but as this airport no longer exists, i believe that it's no use in even hoping it will be made.

This is not to say I am or will work on Kai Tak, but the fact that the airport doesn't exist anymore is certainly not an issue for me.

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.

LOL! You've got quite the imagination. Yes, some people are expressing their disappointment, but from what I remember, pretty much everybody agreed the shots looked amazing. And they do. Nobody is 'hating'. It's just that some people are into Kai Tak, some are into Buffalo!

What I found odd is that everybody (or so it seems) who has ever worked on a Kai Tak is in there 'loving' or as you put it 'shutting people down', like they all get a percentage... But that's probably my imagination.

Personally, I only fly in Europe and North America, so I won't be getting it. It'll be the second FT scenery together with Dubai that I don't own.

Now tell me, are those Delta jetways part of KSLC?!

[EC-TLG]

OMGGGGGGGGGGG!!!

[Marc_H]

One question, will the new scenery be compatible with "Project Visual Hong Kong" (pvhk11.zip flightsim.com)?

[Manny]

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.

You remember THAT?



Manny

[Manny]

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

Well George ..Since you find Five two Foxtrot exciting just like I do, I am sure you guys would be doing that airport soon. And for the record, I would not be offended at all if you do 52F.. Really!



BTW, I didn't know you guys seriously considered KBUF earlier. I can't blame ATAvPilot for that now. My apologize to ATAvPilot.

[mackintosh]

Looks beautiful, great job so far guys. Pity though, this will be the second FT scenery in a row that I won't buy (TCNM was in an area I never fly to and this is a closed airport and it just doesn't "feel" right for me to fly there, now how retarded is that?)

Will there be a way to decouple the city scenery from the airport and install it separately? At least that way I'd still get to throw some money your way?

I guess you've never read the avsim forums in general, not just the Kai Tak thread, that's ok, inside jokes aren't meant for everybody.
I just think it's funny that people are all but hurt because the airport they wanted didn't get made, let me sum up the posts.

"Why make a closed airport, I wated KXXX or SXXX, whaaaaaa, they didn't make the aiport that I wanted whaaaaaa"

I'm the first to admit that I was never a fan of closed airports, had no interest in them, but VHHX really grew on me, now I love it. Somebody at another forum made a great point, people are flying planes no longer in service like the Concorde all the time

What I found odd is that everybody (or so it seems) who has ever worked on a Kai Tak is in there 'loving' or as you put it 'shutting people down', like they all get a percentage... But that's probably my imagination.

LMAO, percentage ? pass me the bong because I want some of what you are smoking.
I think it shows that Clutch is a good dude and knows what a masterpiece this scenery is.

Then it's your loss, if this will be the second FT that you don't get, does that mean you have TNCM ?
Why limit yourself to just Europe and NA ?

Now tell me, are those Delta jetways part of KSLC?!

Now we know what airport you wanted made instead of VHHX

[bkircher]

WOW, looking good there

My apologies for my topic, that I posted a while ago Martin and George.

Why would it be my loss? I'm not losing anything. Arguably, those that get the scenery, gain something... Although they do 'lose' some money. Yes, I smoke only the best.

I have TNCM. I wasn't going to get that at first either, but together with FT's Miami and Tampa and ImagineSim's Nassau and San Juan, I still make it there every now and then. I do mostly short to medium haul. I am 'European' and am passionate about North America, so that's why I fly there. I've invested a lot of money in sceneries and by focussing on those two regions I feel it's worth it. I don't believe in buying a scenery If I only fly there once or twice. If I don't limit myself, then that's exactly what's gonna happen. I spend more time perfecting my AI and Afcads than I do flying as it is.

I guess you've never read the avsim forums in general

Well, I read and post there regularly, but I can't say there's that much whining going on or perhaps I read the wrong threads. I am getting tired of the CS threads though... And I steer clear of the FSX forum, there's a limit to the amount of Phil brown-nosing a man can take.

Anyhoo, what was this all about again?

[paavo]

Yes, I smoke only the best.

Anyhoo, what was this all about again?

I forgot

Manny

Manny, no apology required, but will accept it...just that i come to simming and its related forums for a de-stress so to speak so lets all be friends

[B777ER]

I admit that when I heard about this project I was not very excited about it as it is closed airport and I had VHHH from TK with AES. BUT, now that I have seen the screens, I am going to just have to buy it now. Martin has recreated a whole damn city and that is just way too much to pass up. So I suppose in my little virtual world, VHHH is now closed and Kai Tak is now open again.

Couple questions nag at me. Framerates with all that scenery and will it come with a local mesh?

Another point, anyone know where we can get the terminal procedures for Kai Tak for the LVL-D and the PSS 777 aircraft? The only one I could find was for PMDG?

[Dimon]

Martin,

I'm just curious if you tried to contact Jim Ville to implement IGS13 approach for AI.

Thanks.
