Show us your airport!

Ace_bovenopdeberg, those terminals look excellent, great work  !  You should consider posting them on the STEX, we are always looking for some more realistic airport lots.

[ace_bovenopdeberg 24]

Thanks for the comments on my BAT's.

I still  figuring out how to mod these lots, and there are some things I would still like to add. 

Release would probably be mid June...something like that.

[EDIT: You can find the ACE airport pack thread here]

nice airport rayden

i like your cj banner too, nashville, is that where you are?

i live there too

[MiniMark 7]

Nice airports everyone. Just have a quick question if you place a default SC4 Airport in your city you will see an airport symbol appear on the region map. How do you make it show up with a custom built airport? Thanks.

PS I know I have heard of someone on ST explaining it before but I can't remember who it was or how long ago that was

[Voltaire 52]

You probably need Swamper77's Airport Support File. It is a modd which enables certain custom Lots to behave like airports.

There has been some discussion about what to name the folder containing the support  file. The name is important, because SC4 loads plugin folders alphabetically. I find that loading the support file before all other Lots (by prepending its folder name with "AA") works for me. You'll have to see which way works for you.

[Frankie_Grove 32]

If you want a good airport, i suggest you downloaded from STEX the airport packs by Voltaire, they are VERY realistic, and most even are under the airport menu in game, how conveinent.

Here's one I did before Voltaire's latest release,

...one more.

[rewright 804]

Nice clean looking airport. Looks like a typical small city facility. Good job.

[jacqulina 162]

Ok so I downloaded the support file and you said renaming it. I placed the folder at the top of the plugin menu and added the letters AA on the folder. So it now says AAZZZZ_ZSwamper Support Files. Is this what you mean? (Originally said ZZZZ_ZSwamper Support Files)

See this image for understanding

As you can see the "AA" that i added. (I assumed this is what you mean)

[Voltaire 52]

Yes, that's it. Do your terminals appear in the region view after loading and re-saving the city?

[allan_kuan1992 6]

ace_bovenopdeberg, your treminal pack looks great! Hope you can complete it soon. Make sure you use some of Voltaire's airport apron and airport gate textures to add in some realism to the airport gates. Please also try to make the gates so that it looks like if the plane has been connected to the jetway, because i can see a large gap between the jetway and the plane.

I guess when someone would make diagonal runways and terminals so it's possible to make more realistic airports in less space or on land across the seaside.

[SIMcityFoUr 0]

Hey guys, awesome airports. I just have a couple questions. Are you all making these airports out of packs or custom lotting them? Also, I need some good airport Mods/BATs/Lots. Thanks for the help.

[xiziz 11]

SIMcityFoUr:

Swap 2.3(it says 2.2 on stex) is the latest pack, it includes Joergs and Thalassicus packs.

ACE will release a pack to build nicer terminals soon(i can say that since the modular ones in swap are mine...)Volitare has made a lot of improvements on the tarmac and runways so download those too(RMIP).

That should be all you need to get started!

Here is Evarin's Airport, as of 1932, when it was first opned, more pictures are avalible in Pakkusena's Thread here.

Check out the thread linked to above now, for more pics and keep an eye on that thread, since i will update it as the airport expands

lol, nice job with the airport!

Yea, KPAX airport is still under construction (for almost a full RL year now hahahahha)   And the contractor responsible for this is BLP Heavy Industries (me) ofcourse haha (formerly known as BRAC, INC.).

There's actually funding plans to integrate professional terminal and facilities lots for KPAX, that's the reason why its taking long (yes i know, we have expensive hobbies).  It's probably going to open in Q4 this year.

Yeah, though i found the taxiways/tarmac to be hard to place, since we now have 3 different types, and it makes horrible transitons, since we have the place where jets park, aprons and taxiways now... and then the original concreete(i really should update swap with better textures, but i dont have time for it just now(working 40 hour weeks all summer).

Great new that it aleast has a duedate, though i would like to have the current city-file for my region if possible(i dont need all the costum lots, just for the region view, it would be nice.

Also, i think i read womewhere across the forums that you had been working on Kansai International ATCT, but hadnt finished it and abbandoned it? if so, id we willing to take on the task of completeing/texturing it, since it would save me from starting it from scratch(as im kinda planing to do so for Evarin Airport and the Stex)

Im sending you a PM with a link to read this post to you, incase you miss it Il put my Email there too, if you are able to send any of the two requested files ^^

[Yoman3 5]

Good work ACE like the new Pack

[Cody02 0]

Hello everyone, you all have some very nice airports, especially since these great packs have been released. I did have an old airport I had shown on this thread but it was deleted (so was the region), so now I have a new airport which is much more realistic.

It is of my current city Hawkinsburg. It's a large airport but not an international one because my city will probably never reach that size to need an international airport.

Here it is Hawkinsburg National Airport

Here is the terminal, which has 35 gates.

Here is the lodging and the ATCT. As you will notice each hotel has a nice park for their visitors.

This pic shows the freight hub and general aviation parking; KHNA handles a lot of cargo.

This is the base for the 160th Airlift Wing, for what airforce I don't know. As you can see it has C-130s, F-14s, and tanks.

This pic shows more amenities of the airport.

Here are the runways, I'm not sure how accurate my runway lengths are but I based them off how long a real boeing 707 is compared to the one in the game. The total length of each runway is from the end of each blast pad to the other.

Night time shot.

Thanks to all the people who made the lots, bats, props, etc. that made this airport possible, thankyou!

I hoped you enjoyed my airport!

Nice work!

[blahdy 21]

cody02: nice job dude.

It's an honor to see my signs used in one of the more realistic looking airports out there here in Simtrop.  Keep up the good work, and hope it will become international airport soon!

[Camaron 1]

I like the sign, KHNA, adds realism.

[Cody02 0]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

blahdy- Yep your signs come in handy, I guess I should have shown more pictures of them. I will certainly get the Boston Central Artery when it comes out too.

[Superchan 23]

i am working on a too scale version of indianapolis international, so far i only have part of 5L/23R done

[st8.swimmer 0]

DuskTrooper that airport in that region is great. An estimate, how much time was spent setting that place up. It really makes my old one look like crap. Congrats though, I hope I can build something like that.

[Yoman3 5]

WOW great use of all the airport packs Cody02, I love it. Where did you get the letters to write Khna though?

[Cody02 0]

Yoman3, I don't know what the file name is. I did look in my plugins folder but I couldn't find it. But I did get it off the STEX, you'll have to search for it. Thanks for the compliment.

[Sakalovski 1]

This is my airport in the Castelhorn region. Nothing special really, but sense everybody else are posting there images, so will I
