About This File

The Shuttle-To-The-Plane pack experiments with buses going to the planes to avoid the need for a concourse.This pack adds 8 lots to your airport menu, namely: 

Terminal Piece Large 

Terminal Piece Small 

707 Gate 

RJ85 Gate 

MidProp Gate 

Rockwell Sabreliner 40 Gate 

Vehicle Excursion Line Break (Use with Terminal Piece Small) 

Vehicle and Equipment Storage 

The Terminal Piece Large is suited for larger airports where service is frequent. 

The Terminal Piece Small is suited for smaller airports where usually International flights are a little problem. 

There are 4 types of gates to choose from, each assigned to their own plane. 

The vehicle excursion line break is used with the Terminal Piece Small.This is included in the Terminal Piece Large lot. 

The Vehicle and Equipment Storage Lot is for storage of equipment, buses, maintenance vehicles and airport police vehicles. 

None of these lots are mass-transit enabled.None of them are airport enabled either (Otherwise the game will crash, as with the earlier Version 1 Terminal set).This pack is for eye candy. 

The lots may also be used as a shuttle to Satellite concourses which are separate from the main terminal. 

This pack has an auto-installer.For manual installation, visit The Airport Team General Discussion Thread for a manual installation link. 

This pack has two dependencies:

RMIP-2 SAE Vol. 1 for the equipment props
RMIP-2 SAE Vol. 2 for the textures 

This pack requires the Rush Hour expansion pack.
I
 give credit to Voltaire for the props and textures needed for this pack.

I will be fixing this in the future, as well as removing the "Staging area line break." As well, I will be releasing a new set called the "Roads on the apron" pack.

Ah, those buses... Finally, my sims can feel my experiences from Frankfurt Airport (SAS land their planes at the western end of the airport, before travelling to the easternmost "gates" before you are bussed to the end of the terminal - then, for switching to domestic routes, you have to walk a mile east before you are allowed to enter the domestic areas - in the westernmost terminal).

The idea is quite nice, and it's cool to be able to make a custom airport; my only complaint is that it doesn't function as an airport. Oh well, can't win 'em all I guess. 8/10.

Why not without the buses, so the smaller airports would have looked more realistic? (I live in Norway, and there are few airports with concourses - onlye the 5-6 largest i think,out of 60-70 airports with regular traffic).

Good for an airport in a developing country who can't afford a real one

This can help make the ramp gates usually away from the terminal which are found at smaller International and Regional airports, or where building a new concourse is too expensive (or your cheap, like me) and you don't want to subtract realism. 9/10.
