CLICK HERE FOR PROFILE ONLY WITH NO TEXTURES
SINCE SU12, GAYA HAS ADDED A HITBOX TO THE TERMINAL WHICH CAUSES CONFLICT WITH PAX AND APIS MODELS. THIS IS OUTSIDE MY CONTROL AND I HAVE NO ESTIMATE FOR A FIX
BEFORE POSTING ABOUT ISSUES WITH STOP POSITION, ENSURE YOU HAVE THE RECOMMENDED VHHX ENHACEMENT ADDON HERE
IF INTENDING TO USE CUSTOM COMPANY Hong Kong Air Terminal Services Limited (HATS), READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
If GSX is updated, reinstallation of the HATS files will be required. Running vhhx-ccsxwc.ini without HATS installed correctly will result in all park spot locations and vehicle placement data wiped, requiring a .ini reinstall
Installation:
Refer to folder structure/readme in download
(Note that running the FSDT Live Updater will leave textures untouched, but will overwrite all configs, restoring GSX in case it is bricked.)
Usage Guide:
Use gates with sizes appropriate to your aircraft.
Bays 15-20 are taxi out bays configured to face NW, opposite to default orientation (based on photo, video references for usual configuration). Pushback tug and definitions provided for these bays if flying modern wide wingspan aircraft (i.e. B77W, B748, B78X etc.), recommend to skip pushback if not flying such aircraft.
Bays 21, 26, 27, 32 are in taxi out configuration for ease of taxi in entry from taxiway corners.
Description:
Asobo Studios/Gaya Simulations VHHX Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport SU11 configuration. Includes all gates and bays.
Includes:
-Custom stop positions
-APIS in place of BOLDS (subjectively, most approximate docking system)
-Passengers in terminal
-All objects handplaced and blend into scenery static equipment
-Hand made smoothed out pushback paths
Custom GSX handling company Hong Kong Air Terminal Services Limited (HATS)
-Adaptation of paint scheme and markings of HATS vehicles as seen in the 90s
-Blends well with existing static objects
-Includes new textures for all GSE equipment except for GPUs (Neoplan bus is included but not included in roster due GSX design)
-Adds new carts/wagons to roster of other handling companies (side effect)
Installation of HATS does not overwrite models or textures and only overwrites .cfgs and layout.json. Unfortunately the current GSX Pro version does not read any SimObjects outside of its original core folders. Creating a separate Community folder mod, whilst allowing it to be loaded into MSFS correctly as objects, will not prompt GSX to recognise these new assets to be used as a handling company. Therefore the current installation method is an inelegant solution, but the only way to import a custom company at time of writing.
This also means that if you intend to use multiple custom companies at once, you need to manually edit sim.cfg entries for each vehicle to include each company variation, and then rebuild the layout.json. At the time of release, this mod is the only one that adds a custom company. Prior releases replace textures and use existing companies. Should more custom companies/textures be released, this note will be moved higher up in this description.

I love your GSX Kai Tak Profile and I was wondering if you are studying the new GSX change in where the addon can be made permanent by adding it to the Community Folder, so that a re-install is not required everytime there is a GSX update?

This is great, I love the approach lighting now, along with the other enhancements, looks fantastic! I am not getting any indications from the APIS, even though I can see they are positioned correctly against the terminal building. Is this because of the hitbox problem or should they still be giving me guidance? Thank you.

Hey cheers, I trust you are using my other Kai Tak enhancement for the approach lights?
Do the APIS have L support brackets on them attached to the square grommets on the side of the terminal building? I'll attempt to do some troubleshooting on my side as well when I have the time.

Great stuff!. Love flying to Kai Tak and reminiscing the old days at the airport. Never flew to Kai Tak but I would have loved to have been in one of those IGS13 landings!.
Thank you.

Please start the installation process from the beginning and ensure you follow each and every step carefully.

Awesome stuff dude. Wish there was a way to make it stick permanently without reinstalling every time GSX updates. But good stuff! <3
