The Peak Tram, the Peak Lookout and a view from the Peak
Ride the Peak Tram up from Garden Road, find the Peak Lookout beside the Peak Tower, and watch the approach from the top of the Peak.
Fly Kai Tak now has the Peak: the Peak Tram climbing from Garden Road, the Peak Lookout beside the Peak Tower, and a new spectator view from the top. Ocean Park's cable car, already running between the Waterfront and the Summit, is in the tour too.
The Peak Tram
The track climbs from the Garden Road terminus in Central to the Peak Tower, hugging the hillside. Two cars share one cable, so one goes up while the other comes down, and they pass at the loop half way. The four request stops are at Kennedy Road, MacDonnell Road, May Road and Barker Road. Each car is stepped so its floors stay level on the slope, and the windows light up at night.
The Peak Lookout
The Peak Lookout at 121 Peak Road is a Grade II historic stone building from 1888, now a restaurant. In the sim it sits beside the Peak Tower, with its hipped red roof and a warm light at night.
Watch from the Peak
Choose Spectator: The Peak in the view menu, or press C to cycle to it. You stand on the rim of the Peak Tower looking over the harbour to Kowloon, with the checkerboard on the far hill and the aircraft coming in beyond.
Ocean Park's cable car
The cable car runs between the Waterfront station and the Summit station over Brick Hill, with cabins moving in both directions on a line carried by pylons.
Fly Kai Tak 而家有山頂:由花園道爬升嘅山頂纜車、凌霄閣旁邊嘅山頂餐廳,仲有一個喺山頂嘅全新觀機視角。海洋公園嘅纜車一直喺海濱同山上之間行駛,今次都一併納入導覽。
山頂纜車
軌道由中環花園道總站爬升到凌霄閣,貼住山坡而行。兩卡車廂共用一條纜索,一卡上、一卡落,喺中途嘅避車處交叉。四個招手停站係堅尼地道、麥當勞道、梅道同白加道。每卡車廂都做成階梯形,令車廂地板喺斜坡上保持水平,夜晚車窗會亮燈。
山頂餐廳
位於山頂道 121 號嘅山頂餐廳(Peak Lookout),係一幢 1888 年建成嘅二級歷史石建築,而家係餐廳。模擬器入面,佢喺凌霄閣旁邊,有四坡紅屋頂,夜晚亮起暖光。
喺山頂觀機
喺視角選單揀 Plane Spotter: The Peak,或者按 C 輪流切換過去。你企喺凌霄閣邊緣,望過海港去九龍,遠處山上有棋盤,飛機喺後面進場。
海洋公園纜車
纜車行走於海濱站同山上站之間,越過磚頭山,車廂雙向行駛,纜線由支柱承托。

Other aircraft now bank the right way
Fly Kai Tak fix: other aircraft were drawn banking the wrong way in turns. Arrivals and departures now dip the inside wing, as real jets do.
