Kai Tak
Two weeks ago a group called 9Dragons released a FS9 version of the old Hong Kong Kai Tek airport and Hong Kong surrounds that they'd been working on for three years. They've done a amazing job. And with FS9 with all the details at max on my PC it all looks great, particularly at night. I'm finally seeing the attraction of Flight Simulator.
There is a great video of the addon on Youtube. And other videos and screenshots at the 9Dragons website.

Same scene at night.
The 9Dragons Kai Tak download is available as several individual file downloads at Avsim.com or as a single file from fsfiles.org (direct link). There is traffic for it at World of Traffic, though I'm not using that traffic. The only downside is that Chek Lap Kok airport (VHHH) is shown in the scenery as being under construction so you don't have the opportunity to use it. You can however install Thomas Kwong's VHHH from the AVSIM file library. There is also a boat traffic file for 9Dragons on AVSIM (ai_kt_hb.zip). Charts for VHHX are available on the Flying Tigers website.
