X-Plane 9 - Kai Tak HD

[iljailja333]

from where you have this scenery

[TheFairyParty]

Very good video!

[OpticQ]

@bernar97 LMAO NOOB! 

[jvandervalk]

@bernar97 Did you not read the comment I responded to less than a week ago? THIS IS FLYTAMPA KAI TAK.

[MultiKultiProduction]

What is the code for Kai Tak?

[Classified978]

How do you record in HD in X-Plane ?

[TheAirflyer]

FSX with Fly Tampa Kai Tak and Quality Wings 757 can beat that for 10000 - 0

[jvandervalk]

@TheAirflyer This IS Fly Tampa Kai Tak FYI...

[FlightSimNZ]

@TheAirflyer X-plane with REXplane can beat fsx with any addon 900,000-0. Go get a real simulator not some kids game.

[TheAirflyer]

@FlightSimNZ but in xplane you fly a 747 like a cessna, and fsx is realy good, and is what airlines use for training.

[FlightSimNZ]

@TheAirflyer You have x-plane and fsx confused XD

[wtfsincerlyjapan]

@TheAirflyer the captian sim 7575 is better

[TheAirflyer]

@wtfsincerlyjapan yes

[levygonz]

hi i want to know what application did you use to convert the scenery to the x-plane version. also does it work the inverse (from xplane to fs) ? and does it work with airplanes?

[ruyjo1]

Nice, you should make more x-plane video's… there are not so many people here on youtube that can make high quality x-plane videos.

[benspreen]

PARALLAX why you no make sim videos?!

-hubris

[redhen88]

dang, so realistic, I miss Kai Tak!!, thanks

[bradsterman413]

what freeware converter did you use to get this scenery? please comment back.

[redpiper1]

Hi there. Beautiful job on the video and conversion. I have one question, how the heck did you convert and edit this so well ? I bought the FSX version and converted it with fs2xplane but no matter what I do ( I converted both the sdk & non sdk version) I get 2 runways side by side and nav lights running through the middle of both runways...I even opened it up in WED 1.1 but I cant figure that program out to save my life. 5 stars on the video. added to my favs !

[Chrisss8585858585]

good video...is default x plane looks much worse than default fsx?

[bluelotus021]

nicely done. i still can't nail the turn.

[MrPedoShine]

how did you get the 757 bro amazing video :D !?

[guesswhat6789]

Excellent Work!

Flying was perfect, that visual landing with the 757 was stunning, and the scenery is amazing, awesome video!

[thewizardofrhythm]

Great song!

[budthestudajw]

awesome vid man OMG

[iandenker]

Nice landing(s)! Hey, how did you get the higher res out of xplane? I used the quicktime vids off my replay, but the quality is terrible. Any info would be appreciated! Clear skies and soft landings

[pilotlim]

is this flytampa kai tak?

[MegaMrkeks]

@pilotlim i think so



[mirtaet123]

@pilotlim Yes. See description tags.

[coldandfrostymorning]

would you say this is better than MSFS X and does it run better?

[minglianz]

awesome! what are the specs of ur computer? and ur graphic card? thanks :)

[izaty888]

could you give me kai tak scenery....?

[apache1234657]

*disclamimer I have both fsx and xplane and think they are great we need competition in our flight simulators otherwise there's no reason for them to keep developing

where do i get those planes from they have nice virtual cockpits unlike most planes on xplane

[airjokerr4455]

very good landing i give a : 9/10

[CelticReject]

Hi I was wondering if you could help. I am looking for a fairly simple to understand flight sim. Something that I could just have fun flying a plane or two with. I am not particularly interested (nor do I have the time) to get in to navigation and all the flight planning etc. I just want to fly over some nice scenery to relax and have fun.! Could you advise me regarding a good sim for such purposes. Many thanks. CR.

[Ataylor0]

Is KaiTak standard in Xplane or from MFS?

[Djahmes]

Wow...this game looks more realistic than Flight simulator

[peacerock94]

This Games SUCK so BAD and unrealistic

[deathmaster4035]

@peacerock94 "this game" is not a game at all.....i guess you are 9 year old kid who got FSX on christmas right??

[deathmaster4035]

@peacerock94 its a tool used by real pilots to refreshen their palne skills.....and yet it can be used for fun.....

[EvePlayer11]

When it comes to flight simulators, X-Plane is the mist realistic.

[jupp101]

y do u guys put in back ground music?? i wud like to hear the original sounds

[jupp101]

y do u guys put back ground music in???? i wud like to hear the original sounds

[racear8]

great video, does the aircraft come with the game?

[TheAssasin342]

nice approach and the landing need a little work very nice vid

[martinethson]

i am flying MS Flight Simulator since 1984.

You have any idea what this means?

allmost 27 years flying Crap. I reallised this once i saw that video, thanks for posting.

There were some nice sims like A320 and Flight Unlimited that were better by far but did not make it any further.

I am all for it, will dumb FS for Xplane

happy landings all.....

[renesuzi97]

high quality

[jvandervalk]

@skyglider14 First of all there is no A321 featured in this clip (It is a 757-200). Secondly I stated in the description that it was not realistic and that I just liked the aircraft.

[SlashTruck]

@skyglider14 

[dks11000]

This plane is free i have it for x plane 8...haha x plane rules(payware quality)

[TeenAviator]

Where did you get the 757?!

[XDeveloperX1]

This proves that FSX is ugly!!!

[IVgrandtheftauto]

@XDeveloperX1 flagged

[coolsuh]

hey is that scenery payware?

[jvandervalk]

@coolsuh Yes, it is made for FS2004 and FSX, I converted it using a freeware application to work with X-Plane.

[JWgameplays]

looks awesome! maybe I'll buy this game, because fsx sucks with it's graphics.

btw, will I get some good performance with this specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-860 (clocked at 3.2Ghz)

GPU: ATI HD5850 Black Edition

Mobo: ASUS P7P55D LE

memory: 4GB DDR3-1333 Kingston Hyper-X

HDD: 1TB 7200Rpm

thanks in advance!

[xplanefanatic8]

where did u get this aircraft?

[version147]

wow I live below that plane!

[BranmasterG]

hey man im gonna try x plane demo.

you know where I could buy it and how much?

also do you have to add scenery or does it come like that?

[davisbrettvain]

@BranmasterG buy it at x-plane.com for latest one

$30

you need to add scenery

[TsugaruPilot]

Austin Meyer ought to pay you for this video. It was what made me finally decide to buy X-Plane!

Excellent work! Bravo!

[jvandervalk]

@TsugaruPilot Thanks!

[Digger843ASXM]

@jvandervalk Is flight sim X the same as this?

[MCAS9077]

@Digger843ASXM A bit better in some aspects, because X-Plane is falling behind in others

[davisbrettvain]

@Digger843ASXM no not like fsx at all, but runs better

[Jordache22222]

@jvandervalk Indeed, this is an awesome clip!

[s1201]

Great video! I've been trying to convert this scenery but i'm getting an "error during conversion". Would you explain to me how did you convert this scenery please?

[UnityBringer]

Very nice video.

[LaughsWontHurt]

That approach is wrong. You have to come in from the left. :-)

[jvandervalk]

@LaughsWontHurt You are wrong, this is how it was flown in real life.

[kevinwearspradadood]

@jvandervalk correct you flew it exactly as would be in real life.

[HMSDaring1]

@jvandervalk this is brilliant, well done, brilliant approach and landing, graphics are superb, nice and steady well done!

[muntoniG60]

@LaughsWontHurt u are talking shit :-)

[FlightMissions]

i dont know why but in flight simulator, the cockpit looks better and realistic but x-plane has really good graphics

[joeprice010]

....what is this?

[chris5812341234]

wow wow wow awesome graphics man.....Will my mac os x perform this well?

[jvandervalk]

@chris5812341234 I have no clue, post some specs and I will try and respond.

[djomercohen]

i hope that this is as realistic as FSX in all that related to overall simulation

[Dantemayi]

Good landing :)

[299btb]

sweet graphs

[RocketBird120]

Nice video. Might I ask how exactly you went at converting this scenery into x-plane? I have the FS9 version of FlyTampa's Hong Kong, and yet when I try using FS2XPlane, I get this strange cloud-like thing above all my buildings in X-Plane 9. Have you ever encountered this?

[MrStrikerable]

How do you get buildings at your airport? Do you have to download them or what?

[davisbrettvain]

@MrStrikerable yup you need to download them

[0oCrimsono0]

holy crap ! u must have a kickass NASA computer !!!!!!!

[jvandervalk]

@0oCrimsono0 nope, this was filmed on my iMac from 2008. I have since upgraded to a core i5 @ 3.8GHz and a newer GPU, X-Plane runs even better on this :)

[dks11000]

if you want to be a pilot... learn to fly ... and stop dreaming... fsx, x-plane just computer games...

[jvandervalk]

@dks11000 Actually I got my student pilot permit in the summer.

[Dexter11929]

@jvandervalk Snap you told him lol good video though : D

[mrlixalot]

@jvandervalk Well said! HA! HA! Here's an advice dks11000, if you want to be wise... learn life, get out ... and stop trashing free video share sites... anger, stupidity just empty...

[tjamro2]

@dks11000 some of us are not old enough to get a pilots license so what are we supposed to do?!?!

[davisbrettvain]

@tjamro2 wait

[Captainbritishair]

@dks11000 Actually, FSX/X-Plane are great ways to start. A lot is explained and it can be a helping hand for when you start to study for real.

[anjin77]

@dks11000 BURNED!

[davisbrettvain]

@dks11000 but they are fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you don't know what you are talking about

[MrStrikerable]

im thinking about getting X Plane 9. What I want to know is, is the game an online game or does the computer fly the other planes. Or are there no other planes flying is the air except the one your flying. just want to know, never had a game like this before. thanks to who ever replies.

[davisbrettvain]

@MrStrikerable Vatsim is the online part, ive gotten kicked off 6 times already,

The computer can make some planes fly randomly in the air

or you can be the only one

lastly, you can download xtraffic files from places that other people made

[connecttokan]

what's the name of the song,anyone?

[abulmagd3]

If PMDG ported its planes , x-plane would be the best in the world

[iJakeTV]

I saw this on the X-palne 9 forum BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!

[Diff4us]

@SunnySahotaBA Ya I agree. They both have their pros and cons. The fanboy shit is getting old. I must say though the flight dynamics are freeking impressive in X-plane but then again so are some models in F.S.X.

[Pansalife]

lol is better than fligh simulator x ?

[aolambros]

That is so cool:D I have FSX but I am thinking I should try Xplane9, would you recommend it?

[hi1pie]

@aolambros yes i have both X-Plane is more Realistic

[luimp3]

where u get that plane.

[highonfsx]

can you send me a link for this 757? The xpfw 757 in xplane 9 has the thrust reversers showing as always deployed on the model.....HELP.

[thepiarno]

the music is a catastrophy, but the flight and the scenery is high great!! :-)

What is this scenery, bro? Just Kai Tak? Is this the code? Thanks

[fsofnorway]

i cant convert flytampa hong kong it komes a error like this (found duplicate difinition of airport vhhx in file afx_vhhx_nonsdk_aerostart.bgl)

[fsofnorway]

x-plane 9 have flytampa kai tak i have flytampa kai tak in x-plane 9

[imthentertainer]

FSX pwns x-plane and PC's own 90% of the market! Sorry but I gotta state the facts other than that good old fashioned Kai Tak landing :D

[corvetteguy1980]

FSX is better.

[jvandervalk]

@corvetteguy1980 I don't care?

[KLMAirSwan]

@corvetteguy1980 FSX it made for kids. X-plane has been made for real pilots.

[gun101010]

@corvetteguy1980 I dont think you realize this but yoru wrong. fxs comes with like 12 planes this comes with over 25 and downloading them is easy if want to

[gun101010]

@corvetteguy1980 also that game is made for 7-8 uear olds this is made for real pilot or adults

[lalune1999]

i always have to think about the poor ppl who live right beneath the flight path, every 5 min a plane roaring by

[airbusandmustang]

@lalune1999 I would LOVE that!

[RCFlyingBoy2009]

Amazing. i keep watching this video over and over. What compuetr do you use? what video cards? it seems so smooth. my iMac is nothing close for some reason.

[jvandervalk]

@RCFlyingBoy2009 I used a 2008 20" iMac with an Ati 2600 PRO. Thanks.

[RCFlyingBoy2009]

@jvandervalk

i Have a 21.5" Intel iMac that i got in 2009 during the Black Friday sales.

I run the scenery on very high most of the time and everything else as default.

When i make a fast flyby the scenery behind the aircraft lags. i find it very annoying. any sugestions?

[JSAirways]

@jvandervalk dose x-plane actually run smoother than fsx? Or is it just as much an fps killer?

[adamwyn777]

Are those default planes, if not were did you get them?

[6666rock]

He's using the FlyTampa VHHX ported over from FSX or FS9....

[scottyking27]

who's scenery did you use?

nice vid!!

[RCFlyingBoy2009]

amazing. wish i could make videos like that. which screen recorder do you use? subscribed

[Lvieru96]

okay, i have amd athhlong 64 x2 2.1 ghz processor, around what fps would i get? i heard that it runs just as well as fs2004 on fps, i get 60 fps on default on fs9 , about how many would xplane give me? i wana get this game, i dont care if theres any ai, x traffic is always there, but i want to experience realism :)

[tiemji]

You can download the demo, it's full version limited in time. You can add addon scenery planes etc... just like in the full version.

It's there x-plane(.)com

You could also test your fps too

[Lvieru96]

thanks :) so xplane is about a gigabyte then?

[tiemji]

Yes around 1 or 2 Go

[edgar5001]

so is xplane 9 a realistic sim, does it have approaches and atc talking and glideslopes and navigation and all that?..would u recommend it or fsx?

[oliverman22]

@edgar5001 I have FSX sitting on my desk next to me and hate it. Yeah its an artshow but the flight dynamics suck. I've flown real Cessna 172s, 172SPs, 152 and in X-Plane they have incredibly realistic flight dynmacis. For FSX il put it this way. Its like your flying a train in the air and that your stuck on tracks. Planes are starting to get very beautiful on X-Plane. Yes X-Plane has glideslope, navigation, approaches etc. Atc isnt the best but use vatsim and it will be incredible.

Oliver

[Sfinks366]

X Plane Very Very Good Flight

X Plane best rthe Flight!!!!

Thanksssss

[jackjoker2]

Great video! and about the approach ,you are right this is the way it was flown before it was closed ... you'll understand if you watch the extreme engineering episode about the construction of the new HK airport ...

[jasmine2501]

Why do you come in at such an angle?

[jvandervalk]

This is the way the approach was flown into Kai Tak before it closed.

[jasmine2501]

Yeah I've seen the videos, but it seems dangerous and unnecessary. Like, you could come in the other side, but I guess you wouldn't want to fly over the mountain. I've been flying around this area in X-plane, but in a Cessna 172, so it's easy :)

[jvandervalk]

They used the other side when winds favored it, I would say it is safer to come in this way than to have a wicked drop over the mountains.

[jasmine2501]

Yeah I think if I had a proper controller I might be able to do it. I'm using a model airplane radio right now :)

[flightsimflyer]

Did you placed the FSX FlyTampa scenery in Xplane?

[eminem0413]

Yes, you can easily convert any FSX/FS9 scenery to x-plane quickly. sometimes it doesn't work great but other times it's fantastic.

[dukee155]

does that plane have fmc

[Johnny800s]

yes, all or most x plane planes come with an fmc, but it's not like the real one, they dont allow you to do what a PMDG or Level D fmc does

[tiemji]

UFMC allows you. Check it it for X-Plane

[flightTime123]

xplane has better scenary, but FSX still has better planes

[AbDuFrEeStYlE]

where can i buy this game?

[tiemji]

on x-plane(.)com or at WallMart

[TheKawasakiNinjaZX6R]

you can order it in an online shop^^

[JohnMr95]

Nice video!! good job!

[vinc082]

Where can I get these planes?

Ah, and great video by the way :-)

[tiemji]

xplanefreeware(.)net

[omgitsPRiiMe]

heyy guys i have FSX and i get 2 fps with the setting on ultra high but if i get this game about how many FPS will i get with the settings really high

[tiemji]

you'll get good ones, for pretty good graphics, xplane is less demanding than fsx

[TheKawasakiNinjaZX6R]

actually it`s even the same graphic engine so i think you`ll get the same FPS as in FSX. greetz

[NobleEagle1]

im about to reinstall this game right now

[FSX404]

Beautiful video, nice approach.

[tiemji]

Yes!

[LotsOfGreatStuff]

u get good frames

[Stereophile11]

do you need a graphix card to play this game?

[ThePiper235]

lol yes

[LotsOfGreatStuff]

uh ya

[PuffMac]

You need a graphics card to start your computer, therefore it is safe to assume you require one for any computer operation, a graphics card is required, including games :).

Smart arse answer, but i couldn't resist :P.

[Stereophile11]

I was just wondering because I have flight simulator 2004, and it runs smooth but the graphics shown in the video are superb.

[FS2004ACoF]

I'm an FS user and I'm surprised for these graphics, they are so beautiful.

[scottwhr]

awesome scenery. guess now it shuts those FSX fans up. the only thing they were so proud of (graphic) has been beaten:P

[ExtraordinaryComedy]

not true.

[jvandervalk]

your right, this scenery was made for fsx.

[1mp4c7]

@scottwhr lol sorry but these graphics don´t beat a good machine running fsx with rex and a addon scenery (like this one). there are great examples on YT

[MetaView7]

this vid sold me on X-Plane

[Jack1997LAN]

where u got the scenery??

what is the 4 digit code of the kai tak airport?
