Oh yes! Thanks for sharing!
Does it have all of the required navaids?

The reason I ask about the navaids is because the checkerboard approach uses three different beacons at the same time. Primary is the IGS (localizer/GS) that guides you into the hillside. Meanwhile, you set the ADF to 377 and Nav 2 to 115.5, then set the two direction indicators on your PFD to those beacons. The NDB is at the near end of the runway, while the VOR is on an island in the bay lined up of the other end of the runway. The basic procedure is to follow the IGS down toward the hill while watching the two directional indicators. As you come closer to lining up with the runway, both indicators will begin to converge. Just before they do, you disengage the AP and crank a HARD right turn. If you do it right, the two indicators will line up, both pointing straight ahead, just as you level out. If you get that right, you're lined up with the runway. Needless to say, it takes practice!
Edit: Those freq's might have changed...
Edit 2: It looks like everything is there on the map. The Nav 2 VOR is 116.10, but the NDB is still 377. I wish I had time to load up a flight, but that will have to wait.

Already updated to v1.2.
Notes for v1.1
Update 1.1
Small update
Cleaned up signs and taxiways that were incorrect
Redesignated gates as ramps so that airstairs works
Adjusted glideslope on both 13 and 31.
Added an exclusion rectangle over where cruise terminal would be to see if that will help those with 3rd party scenery problems (not sure what it does if anything)
Removed building from threshold of rwy13 in standard scenery.
Landing the 747-8i at Kai Tak with ground taxing views.
Not the latest v1.2 update.
Gotta crank that last right turn a little harder!
And just ignore those pesky cars - you can just run 'em flat!

Another, more recent 747-8i landing at Kai Tak.
An update for Kai Tak.

Update 1.3
Another small update
Corrected taxiway sign errors
Adjusted runway 13 glideslope
Added Approach for runway 13 from Cheung Chau VOR over the current HK intl toward the Checkerboard
Unfortunately the ILS frequency still has to be added manually in the FMC NAV/RAD
Freq: 111.9 course 88
Added delete existing airport element to XML
One last bump as I unstick...
