very nice airport !!

[simsmart 1]

Springfield, Ontario was planned to be the largest metropolitan area in Canada, that was a 

mere ten years ago. Springfield was booming with tourism and new companies moving in 

every day. And becuase of it's location, it was a prime spot for mining and logging. 

The Springfield Airport was at one time, the busiest airports in Canada. The population was 

growing at such an alarming rate that plans were underway to expand the airport. At this time 

it could only handle: Three passenger aircraft, six charter aircraft, and a handfull of general 

aviation.  

At the turn of the century all of Springfield's largest employers: Glaxo Smith Kline, 

Bombardier, and Toronto Dominion Bank (to name a few) packed up and left for Toronto.

All of the plans to expand Springfield Airport were scrapped and the maze of taxiways were 

all that were completed, along with a half finished terminal that is now used for "Government 

Transportaion". The airport is now serviced by Air Canada Jazz, Bearskin, and a number of 

small charter companies. Some of the other tenants include Springfield College and OMNR 

(Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources).

The remaining three gates at the old terminal builidng. These gates are almost always 

occupied by Jazz aircraft, servicing Sudbury, North Bay, Thunder Bay, Sioux Lookout, and a 

number of Northern cities.

The general aviation area including the FBO and OMNR offices. The three large 

hangars are occupied by OMNR, Springfield College, and the Ministry of National Defense.

The half finished terminal. people sometimes see an erie glow comming from it. Sometimes even people in suits walking around that area will large guns.

Runway 27, at one time the busiest runway in all of North America. 

It's a shame that it hasn't even been cleaned for six years.

Airport overview.

This airport was largely inspired by my trip to Sault Saint Maire. It was once a thriving city,

but when Algoma Steel (the main employer) laid off a number of workers, the residents started to see boarded up windows. The city is slowely regaining it's standing. the airport 

has a whole lot of land and I would assume that the airport was going to be expanded in

the future but never was since Algoma Steel went through some turmoil

i might add that the CRJs and the Dash8s were not actually batted by me, but rather converted from sketchup models created by WilliamT that i found in the 3d warehouse for google sketchup.

[Geronimo 4]

Very nice mitsos, great nightshots!

[ac94 5]

My first attempt at making an airport.

[mitsos 12,974]

thanks Geronimo

[simsmart 1]

@motsos: Very nice. looks very Asian, very modern. I like how you did the road work through the terminal area, I find that that's the hardest part to do. There are a couple things. Are the leadouts connected to the taxiway? Can't see from the quality of the photo. The 747-to-Regular Gate part looks a tad odd. I like the highway through there aswell ,but veto the transit hub, it looks very odd that there are platforms to nowhere. It could be used to perhaps house a park of some kind. Could you give us a broad picture showing the entire airport? Minor point: The trees are green and orange at the same time. Overall I would give it a very high score (7-8/10), especialy for the roadwork in the terminal area.

[thepokemaniac 18]

Can someone help me? I have all of Tabi's Planes, A huge airport, and i'm good with the lot editor, but I don't know how to make the planes look like they're landing. Not when they touch the ground, but when theyre about 100 meters from the runway in the air. help would be appreciated!

mitsos: What are those arch thingson the terminals? Where did you get them? By the way, love the airport!

[mitsos 12,974]

[thinboy66 6]

Whoa, great mosaics Art128! I rally liked your diagonal terminal!

Zangle06, Great terminal. You should put the blank tarmac between the gates, it would look much better

[underwearman2007 0]

Where the hell did you get that terminal? the one with the 747s?

[pilotdaryl 25]

I hope to get a trixie with at least a single picture...

[jacqulina 162]

excellent airports everyone

[OD Hennessey 30]

I Love This thread! Unfortuanately I do not know how to post pictures from my SC4 game. If anyone could tell me it would be very helpful. Does anyone know where art128 got the custom planes on the taxiway though cause it is so awesome.

Sincerely.
