X-PLANE 11 & 12 : Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Freeware (HKJK) 3D Scenery
As requested the much awaited release of the virtual Freeware HKJK Airport for East Africa's premier aviation hub! The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport scenery package, is now available for download from our official website Eagle-Tech Design. https://eagle-techdesign.netlify.app The scenery is for both X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12 respectively.
This download includes our best efforts in recreating HKJK's unique exterior environment and its complex ground routes structure for the best experience and performance. We believe it significantly enhances the realism and enjoyment of flying to this important gateway between Europe and East Africa or exploring other major Airport hubs like HKMO which we are developing and updating some minor things for a release as well.
README INSTALLATION GUIDE:
Step-by-Step Guide
Download Scenery: First, download the HKJK scenery and select either one for X-Plane 11 or 12 depending with your Flight Simulator. The archive zip is available from our website Eagle-Tech Design page https://eagle-techdesign.netlify.app
X-Plane Version Check: Ensure you are using either X-Plane 11 or X-Plane 12 (this scenery is built for these specific versions). If migrating between platforms, reinstall the package on that platform.
Verify Library Prerequisites: This is crucial! Before proceeding with installation, please confirm you have downloaded and correctly installed the following essential libraries from their respective sources using the link provided for each library at your convenient below here:

These libraries are fundamental for our scenery to function properly and display key elements ensure that you download each of them.
Locate Installation Folder:
Install the main Scenery Files:
Unzip the downloaded HKJK scenery archive onto your X-Plane 11/12 custom scenery folder for example (D:\X Plane 12\Custom Scenery\HKJK_Jomo Kenyatta International Airport XP12
Place the downloaded libraries as well, from the list above in the appropriate X-Plane 11/12 custom scenery folder. They usually contain installation instructions themselves, telling you exactly where to place them.
Open SAM Animation Manager: Our scenery relies on certain animated elements (like possibly moving ground vehicles or jetway gate doors). Ensure you have downloaded and the latest version of OPENSAM Animation Manager compatible with your X-Plane version from its official source.
Understanding Liveries & Changing Terminal Appearance
One unique feature included in this download is the ability to completely change the visual appearance of Jomo Kenyatta's iconic Main Terminal building. This is achieved through our custom livery system, stored within the HKJK scenery main folder Liveries folder
Our goal with these liveries was to offer users flexibility and depth, beyond just viewing the default look.
How it Works
The standard scenery package includes an HKJK_Liveries_Default file containing the base textures for our original main terminal design. This is not directly accessible via SAM or animation triggers. Instead, we provide five additional custom livery folders:
Default Livery Backup: This folder exists to replicate your initial X-Plane experience but with slightly modified colors (pistachio green) and textures for clarity during development testing.
Note: While the 'default' experience is crucial, these backups might not be identical to what you saw on our download page unless explicitly replaced by one of the other liveries. We recommend checking the five variants liveries located inside the main HKJK scenery folder named as below:
HKJK_Vol. 1 (3 variety combined): This livery offers a specific combination theme – likely a vibrant mix with perhaps blue and white elements.
HKJK_Vol. 2 (Navy blue glass): As the name suggests, focus here is on cool navy blues contrasted against sleek, modern glass textures for windows and facades.
HKJK_Vol. 3 (Sky blue and gold lit glass panels): This livery emphasizes elegant sky-blue exteriors combined with rich, metallic gold tones reflecting off high-tech glass surfaces.
HKJK_Vol. 4 (Light green glass panels): A fresh, nature-inspired look incorporating light lime or sage green elements against textured glass panes.
HKJK_Vol. 5 Dark blue: This livery presents a sophisticated dark navy palette for the building, creating a dramatic and mature appearance.
Applying Liveries
To change your terminal's look:
Select one of these five custom scenery liveries (each containing its own Liveries folder).
Unpack it into your X-Plane 11/12 folder e.g D:\X Plane 12\Custom Scenery\HKJK_Jomo Kenyatta International Airport XP11.55\Custom_Objects\Terminal
Paste the livery of your choice inside the Terminal folder located in the HKJK scenery, custom Object folder and overwrite the existing livery in the Terminal folder.
Important Notes
Each Livery is Separate: You only need to use each livery at a time, reload the scenery for the effect to take place.
We included also a 'Default Livery Backup' package which will allow you to reinstall back the original look without relying solely on what was originally downloaded directly from our page.
Performance: These custom liveries, especially with highly detailed 4K glass textures and possibly new animation dependencies or higher-poly models, can be performance-intensive but do not worry as we have fully optimized the LODS for higher FPS perfomance. But one thing to note, if you use the third party addons particularly the Live Traffic plugin addon or any other weather addon at first during the scenery load, you will notice the FPS drop which is normal first time but the FPS will increase gradually once the Live Traffic plugin finishes buffering or if you use the NEXTATC addon with live traffic but if not the scenery will perform perfect does not get affected by either once loading is done. Ensure your system GPU is currently using updated drivers in-order to use all features extensively.
Compatibility: While designed carefully for current X-Plane versions (11/12), we cannot guarantee seamless compatibility with future updates.
