New: Plane Spotter on Runway 31
Watch the easterly traffic from the spectator spots and the new Lei Yue Mun view.
Plane Spotter now works on Runway 31 too. Watch the easterly traffic from the airport's spectator spots, or from the new Lei Yue Mun view.
Pick Spotter · Runway 31
On the setup screen, choose Spotter · Runway 31 next to Plane Spotter. There is no flying: arrivals come in over Lei Yue Mun and land from the east, and departures roll toward Kowloon City and climb out. You can follow a jet, jump between the spectator spots or speed up time.
The Lei Yue Mun view
Choose Plane Spotter: Lei Yue Mun (Runway 31) from the view menu, or press C to cycle to it. In this view the camera favours the jet nearest you, so it follows the arrivals as they come through the gap.
Try this
Watch an arrival at night from the Lei Yue Mun view, then fly the same approach yourself with Runway 31 approach.
觀機模式而家都有 31 號跑道。你可以喺機場嘅觀機位置，或者新增嘅鯉魚門視角，睇東面進場嘅飛機。
揀「觀機 · 31 號跑道」
喺設定畫面，喺觀機隔離揀 觀機 · 31 號跑道。唔使飛：抵港航班經鯉魚門由東面降落，離港航班向九龍城滑行起飛爬升。你可以跟住一架飛機、轉換觀機位置，或者加快時間。
鯉魚門視角
喺視角選單揀 觀機：鯉魚門（31 號跑道），或者按 C 切換。呢個視角嘅鏡頭會優先跟最近你嗰架飛機，所以抵港航班穿過缺口時，鏡頭會跟住佢哋。
試吓
夜晚喺鯉魚門視角睇一班抵港航班，然後自己揀 31 號跑道進場飛一次。
