Hong Kong International Airport (IATA: HKG, ICAO: VHHH) is the main airport in Hong Kong. It is located on the island of Chek Lap Kok, which largely comprises land reclaimed for the construction of the airport itself. The airport is also colloquially known as Chek Lap Kok Airport, to distinguish it from its predecessor, the closed Kai Tak Airport.
The airport has been commercially operational since 1998, replacing the former Kai Tak Airport, and is an important regional trans-shipment centre, passenger hub and gateway for destinations in Mainland China (with 44 destinations) and the rest of Asia. The airport is the world's busiest cargo gateway and one of the world's busiest passenger airports.

In this version 2.1 we improved some textures and add new buildings like new midfield terminal and airside bridge that conects terminal 1 to satellite, was made with the native sdk for p3d v4 & v5, add some bump textures to windows, we improved the phtoscenery textures, also add sode jetways and dynamic lights all around the airport.
I will not give a very good comment to VHHH v2 scenery. Jetway is not very well in detail. Not steel but glass. No PBR model, no realistic taxi line and parking line. I felt disappointed.
This airport looks great. Been waiting for this for a long time. Good performance and nice looking scenery overall. Looking forward to more updated sceneries from Taxi2Gate.
Once it come out bought it without thinking and is more realistic then the previous one, but there is one little issue, the dynamic light will only appear when you located your flight sim in VHHH but if you fly to VHHH at night the dynamic light will not work..... , hope this can be fix ASAP, but i'm enjoy then the v.1, I flew 4 time per day to VHHH in 1 day.
I agree with Dave, a few negative nit piks but I think T2G did a fine job on this airport. I think a lot of people have been waiting for this update for so long, I know I have. The improvements are well received and for me, VHHH will be a pivotal Asian hub. Well done T2G.
A few little unappreciative nit picks from some reviews. I just launched a flight from this new version and it was a pleasure to do so. Great work T2G!!! Buy and just enjoy!! Just keep things in perspective at least and amaze at the generation of flight sim you have!!!
I upgraded to V2 and I'm disappointed. Taxi2Gate did a really great job on VHHH years ago With this upgrade they've added the new Sky Bridge connection between Terminal 1 and the North Satellite Concourse. They've also added the new Midfield Concourse and outside the airport they've added the Hong Kong link road as part of the new bridge to Macau and other features, so it is up-to-date. However, its like they dusted off the original airport, added the new features and a P3D V4 & V5 installer. There is no PBR, no dynamic lighting and it looks outdated, compared to recent Flightbeam, Fly Tampa, or even Justsim airports.
Taxi2Gate rise from the dead?! One of my personal favourite airports in Asia (SOMEONE DO BANGKOK PLEASE!!??)
The new rendition is nice and is if anything as it suggests, its an expanded and updated version over the original.
I wouldn't say there are any major improvements to their work techniques. There are still slightly lazy areas that are typical to T2G style we know of for those shaper eyes out there and i doubt those habits can be ironed out.
It also looks like they decided against keeping the awful photobase of Lantau Island which is a good move i think as it looks better without it in this v2 version.
Disneyland Hong Kong isn't included in the scenery radius.
It is certainly good to have so many new gates with this one and it equally looks good at night and performs exceptionally well with high density AI too.
The new bridge looks like it needs more texture baking or something as it just looks alittle off texture colour wise to everything else.
Its good to have VHHH in P3Dv4 and v5 officially!
Role on OTHH, KMCO, KSEA, MMMX updates please!
