Re: A new freeware kai Tak is here!!!
After much downloading - & having to search for part 1, the install (on my system) takes just under 2 minutes to extract from the zip ziles, the total extracted file size is 479Mb, of which the files are 457Mb. The remainder being the individual folder 'read me's' & the pdf format manual which you do need to read.airboatr wrote:wonder how many Megs it is after it's all rehydrated
I have installed it but have yet to run it & this took about 15 mins to do.
Will it work ? Will frame rates be OK ?? only time will tell

Re: A new freeware kai Tak is here!!!
On last download now and only 5 minutes to go then the fun really starts!! Oh well, it's either do or don't and having spent most of the day downloading the rest I'm not stopping now!!
Oh B*ll*ocks!! :brick: Just finished the very last download went to close the download box and then it disappeared along with the part 5 download :brick: :brick:
Have had to start it all over again :@ Really P*ssed Off I can tell you!!
Going to take another two hours :brick: :@ !!
Quick question if anyone can answer. In the instructions it says that it is important for you to move or rename certain original files to another location to avoid conflict....Which files are they as cannot find any information as to which ones or where they are. Or is it that STUPID ??

Its all in the pdf document. The install bit starts at page 24. I got it done first time & flying round is great. Plenty of tower blocks.
The manual recommends the altering of the (new) HK airport traffic to Kai Tak (& explains how to do it too), otherwise it looks a bit empty....just me a jumbo jet.
It tells you in there which to rename. Also there is a further prompt in the folders.
Have yet to make a proper landing. Attempt 1 was sideways, attempt 2 was a bit bouncy & nearly wet :doho:
When I downloaded part 2 - 5 took between 30 & 45 mins, using a download manager
