ACE Airport Pack

[ShadeSlayer 15]

All of those aircraft are awesome, Voltaire! Now I suppose your back to working on the RMIP series now? But, dayyam, those are awesome.

Hey, I'm back from vacation and I even have some pics for ya:

the CRJ lots are just about ready and there's a new terminal design for smaller airports:

the concourses are still those from last week, but I will fix the seams soon...

*faints*

Now THAT is AMAZING. Looks like Westjet is going to get some serious competition at my airports

Seriously, keep up the good work. It is unbelievable.

PS:  Now, how much would it take to convince Maxis/EA to launch an airport simulator based on the SC4 engine?

AMAZING! Except we have been waiting for a while now for these lots... oh well.... All I have to say is that your work is continuing to improve greatly, and the current airport style i really like. The seams... I dunno about them... they have already existed way back from the old terminal pack... it might be useless to fix them up... perfection isn't always required... there's always an error or mistake in something.

Can you improve your ATCs? i need some of them to connect with the terminal and some of them to be standalone with entrances...

May I suggest making an underground parking area, or something to lead to it.

Also, where are the awesome terminal you showed us a couple pages back?

Awesome job ace!

[gt6282 3]

hwoooowed! That's awesome ace! When will you release it? damn I'm excited.

[feliwi 4]

hi, great pics again. Well, how far is the pack, it seems that nearly everything is finished (747, new terminals and gates)?

[pilotdaryl 25]

WOW--I can't believe I missed this stuff during my wedding and honeymoon but this is GREAT now I'm eagerly waiting for the final release.

[ShadeSlayer 15]

Congrats on getting married!

[Yoman3 5]

I actually like the seam, makes it appear pre fabricated.

[webmaster76 1]

really great work... i like to build a new airport with this great stuff :-)

[ShadeSlayer 15]

Hey ace, could you possibly make a piece with a small door for more realism for the ground walkways to the jet?

Thanks!

[allan_kuan1992 6]

waiting for some updates =)

pre-release fine-tuning in progress -- this shot is from LOD interface testing, which went smoothly the first time

More changes are coming to the Lots; this is not the final markings layout but it's pretty close. There will be a full set of taxiway lots with this new pavement on the edges, plus fillers, staging lines and lead-in lines. The Lots with curved centerlines (above) are being lengthened, to provide proper clearances behind the parked aircraft.

At this point (probably for sure) the standard 747 gate is 7 tiles deep, and 5 tiles wide, excluding the taxiway. The minimum space between terminal arms is therefore 16 tiles. These are jumbo jets, they take a lot of space to park and maneuver! But the real estate is well worth it, once you see the cash they bring in.

OMG TAHT IS AWESOME BRING THEM OUT !!!!!!!! AH!!

[E.J.C 9]

this must be one of the best large-scale-project that have been made for SC4!!

as I said to ACE; you 2 should get payed by Maxis!!!

[Filasimo 1]

well ive been lurking and in hiding for a while and ill come out and comment and say my airport is ready to rock and load on your planes

Sensou Kinenhi International Airport

ACE you probably could have taken a picture of 747s lined up like that at heathrow or anywhere else in the world for that matter and I don't think it would look anymore real than what you have created! Simply stunning very impressed.

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

oh my god. that is amazing. it doesn't look like sc4, it's so realistic!

[sEAhAwk fAn121 0]

WOAH!!! i love it! those loook ammaazzingg!!! i cant wait till release!

[tommiej 0]

is this really sc4?? this can't be.. it's so realistic!!

[hamsterTK 93]

yes!

its almost done!

[thomil 4]

*Drops dead*

OH MY GOD!! That has got to be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Your work is absolutely FANTASTIC. There's only one problem, I'll have to remodel some of my airports to make room for these babies...

On a side note. How is the progress on the regional jets?

*blehahem!* Will there be "footprints" for the paved taxiways so that we don't have to use trial-and-error to get them right? Including them will make it more time-efficient to complete the paved areas around the terminals, and may make it far less confusing.
