Show us your airport!

[Sakalovski 1]

Hmmm, where the h... did my post go?

Oh, he he, there it is...

[Bodom 1]

very nice airport, i specially like the way to accses it

[Camaron 1]

Nice airport with good access,  however I think the Spinnaker Tower would be better in Portsmouth Harbour rather than between two runways where it could accidentally be hit by aircraft.

[U3D 6]

My very unfinished Warren Metropolitan Airport, so far Ive finished one terminal (it will have two, thus the reason for the one way dead ends), I'll be back with more pictures as soon as I get used to the picture thingy hosting....

[U3D 6]

Ok my pic keeps disappearing....... im still abit iffy on the image posting part....

[U3D 6]

Back with more,

im starting to get used to the posting(images) thing now....BTW you might see this again(completed!) in a future CJ *hint*hint*

[Camaron 1]

U3D, good start, I assume you will link the gates with taxiway eventually.

A region view of Savannah City International Airport. You can check out the airport in update 27 of my CJ.

[ace_bovenopdeberg 24]

WOW.....all really nice airports!!!!

I especially like yours, Shadow_Assassin. It looks very realistic! Thanks for sharing!!!

[pilotdaryl 25]

YOU'RE BACK!!!  Time for Voltaire's update!!!

[Camaron 1]

Shadow_Assassin: Good, I would feel sorry for the local residents though.

This is an airport that I'm working on in one of my regions (I think that it is Lugar De Reunion). I'm not done with it, but this is what it looks like so far.

An overview

Maximum image size is 800 x 600 - MM

How do you make airports?

Id recomend you download the packs by Volitare and A.C.E, since these are the newest. Also be sure to read volitares readmes, since they describe how your supposed to construct yout runways.

If you want functional Airports im afraid you will have to do with SWAP, uploaded by me as a continuation of Joergs and Thalasicus work with some additions(the swapterminals), though this pack is compatible with the ones from Volitare and A.C.E, the lots are not of the same or even close to the same quality as theirs.

And the runways in swap severly lack many features real runways have, and so do the taxiways.

Try searching Airport on the stex aswell, since you will probably find all packs then. but regarding airports its extra special to read the readmeas as some packs are NOT compatible with eachother unless you mod some files yourself, and saying that, airports are the hardest single things in the game to get right as far as i know of, not the most time consumuing mind you, thats probably the huge transit interchanges.

[Jaime_ua 34]

Mmm...I hope this is the right place to post this......Well, I see your airports are in independent cities.......how do you support them.......I mean...... money...... An airport like one of those must cost what? a lot more than what the city earns......what's the trick?

Thanks............

[pilotdaryl 25]

Mods.  I use the Simoleon Mod for RH.  It's on Modding Files.  There's one for Vanilla as well.

[xiziz 11]

I use the BSC Suburban Bank to make the money, or rather transfer the money from existing cities(by addind the correct ammount in the airport tile and removing the same ammount from other cities).

generally i also try to make the airports self-sufficent, mostly by adding things that add a monthly income(like parking lots and terminal gates) aswell as some commercial, industrial and even residential zones around the general area.

Wait a minuet, that's a different view point, it's nearly 90 degrees, or is it just an illusion.

Im guessing its just mirrored on one of the axis or both, making it look like a diffrent vewpoint.

Also, please remove pictures from quotes in future posts ^^

It looks to me like the image has been shrunk widthways.

[Camaron 1]

frogface: Good, quite realistic but with the height of the buildings behind the runway the aircraft will have to land very steeply.

[pilotdaryl 25]

He's right, you should either move the buildings or the runway.  To believe the end of the stopway is actually onto a local street!!!

There are some problems with your airport.

1: A small airport like that could not accomodate large planes like the parked 767s on the apron.

2: Add a terminal if this is not mainly a general aviation airport.

3. Get rid of the buildings on the left of the taxiway.  Otherwise residents will be surprised to have an airplane wing crash into their room!

4. And move the natural grass plant a little so that the power will always stay on (rather than having a plane crash into it and explode).

5.  There shouldn't be cargo boxes in the way of the hangars. NO planes will get out of there with those!

I also suggest you get the new airport packs such as RMIP-2.

Otherwise, great airport, though there are many problems, I encourage you to keep going!

An announcement to all:

I will be working on a mod to stop the flashing sea of lights (the taxiway and runway lights), not permanently, but to stop them blinking so that you can have more realistic airports.  Also, I will try to mod them to appear only at night.

However, I may need help on modding this (I might be able to make it stop blinking, but how to make it appear only at night?).  It goes by a visual effect examplar.  What do I need to do to make it turn on ONLY at night?

Sorry 'bout the mistake.

Here's another joke:

Plane crash into it and explode.  In the picture, there is a plane headed straight for the power plant.  KA-BOOM!!!

This is the Carson City International Airport.
