NOTE: DOWNLOAD ONLY "HongKong Enhancement Project" WHEN UPDATING FROM PREVIUOS VERSION.
CHECK OUT THE DEPENDENCIES FOR THE NEW ADDON LIBRARY REQUIREMENTS.
THE LIGHT BEHAVIOUR STILL HAS SOME PROBLEM, AND IT MIGHT REQUIRE YOU TO ACTIVATE ON THE FIRST PASS. TRY USING THE DRONE CAM TO ACTIVATE EVERYTHING BEFORE TRYING TO EXPLORE THE CITY AT NIGHT. ITS AN SDK LIMITATION IN WHICH I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOR THE DEV OF THE LIGHT ASSETS AT THE MOMENT.
CHANGELOG V1.5:
-Night lighting-covers more areas(work in progress)
-Fix collision point on some helipads
-added lights on some helipads
-added some fictional helipads on some building and some static ships( make sure you have the "global-ai-ship-traffic-msfs-v2 " installed).
-added some static boats ( make sure you have the "static-boat-3d-model-library " installed).
IMPORTANT!!!: PLEASE DOWNLOAD ALL PARTS AND EXTRACT TO YOUR COMMUNITY FOLDER. YOU WILL END UP WITH NINE FOLDERS
This is a photogrametry representation of Hongkong using all available data in Google Maps. It is still a work in progress. More part of the city will be available soon. Have fun

Optimized by Thalixe's amazing Blender addon https://flightsim.to/file/26245/google-earth-decoder-optimization-tools-gedot-blender-addon
I also used Lily texture Packer to reduce the number of texture files, https://eliemichel.gumroad.com/l/DFExj

I installed what I have and can't seem to get the lights to work no matter how close or where I fly. I'm not sure if I am really seeing much change in the dark. Maybe better in daylight.

latest MSFS with their own kai tak, this scenery creates massive rocks on runway/airport

Very impressive. I hope it can be compatible with ali501 Kai Tak scenery.

I would like to have VER 1.3. Can I have a dl? I would be very happy if it is possible. Thanks for the great mod.

ooh sorry. I may need to make a separate patch for that. And I already used the allowable parts of file(6 files). Let me try next week. I forgot to make a backup when I deleted the area. It means the project file that I have don't have that area anymore. But if you can wait then maybe I can make a small patch later. ..

The night lights, at least on dx12, do this weird thing I've never seen before where they're switched off until you fly close enough to trigger a LoD transition, and then they stay on. One of the cooler bugs I've seen tbh; I tried to write my name in lights but my "handwriting" was terrible 😊
Aside from that bug though, even as a WIP they look really nice, can't wait to see them finished!

The light asset I'm using from EDHK has that behavior. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated in a while. There will be more update for the night light soon. Its a little bit time consuming but I'll get it done. Small progress but definitely possible with a bit amount of time.

Thank you very much.. I was thinking about trying to update this one in the future if I can because the whole project is taking so much of my storage, If I receive enough donation to help me out with my storage problem then I will continue keeping it updated.. 😁. Don't worry , I will be keep it updated as long as my storage permit.

I genuinely can't thank you enough for this scenery. I don't live there anymore, but Hong Kong is more of a home to me than anywhere I've ever lived before, and to have it recreated with such accuracy in flightsim is just simply incredible. This scenery is the only reason I go through the painfully low fps, stuttering, and troubleshooting to even play MSFS. The frequent updates are amazing as well.
I would hate to ask for more after all of your efforts, and the scenery is already great as it is. If you ever do come across it, maybe take a look at the rest of the Island from Sai Wan Ho to Siu Sai Wan, or across the harbor from Ngau Tau Kok to Tseung Kwan O area. So much of Hong Kong is already covered, and it's mainly just these parts left with the default buildings. The difference between your photogrammetry and the default structures is absolutely night and day - it just looks oh so much better.
Anyways, I just wanted to leave a word of thanks, and if I could give this 10 stars I would, but unfortunately that's not possible. I hope you have a great rest of your day!

Hey there, thank you very much for the kind words. Those are really what inspire us devs to do this stuff. I love doing it because I also fly here regularly even I'm not from Hong Kong.
With regards to the area you mentioned, unfortunately even the 3d data is available in google maps I cant seem to download any 3d data from that side including the opposite side of the bay. I don't know if its a limitation of the app I'm using or a problem from Google. I will try again next time or ask anybody from the forums. Have a nice day..
