Um, is there a city around the airport or is it just in the middle of nowhere?

Very Interesting, many people do not use an airport as their focus but you seem to be doing a very good job of representing it, by the way it seems to me you are a "queen" fan with Bohemian rhapsody as your avatar and naming your airport/cj/city after them, but I may be wrong.good luck 4.gif

    First, I would like to thank you all for your massive amount of replies!

    Here's a new update:

    The first 2 new runways are finished, and so are the taxiways. Runway 18-27 has been extended, but remains a non-precission runway for General Aviation. 

    EDIT: AIRPORT CHANGED A BIT, SEE NEXT UPDATE FOR CORRECT PICS!!!

    See y'all,
    PT

    P.S: @Riuchando - You are correct, the name of my CJ is based on my favourite band: Queen (and so is my signature),

    Wow, looking good! I remember an old Airport Journal, started with a "D" I think... DuPont? no. Oh, I forget. It was nice though.

    Nice use of custom airport stuff. This has potential...

    @roboo1: Actually, there is not much region to show to you. This is the only terraformed map in the region. Other development will folow as the airport develops.

    And here's a brand new update!

    First of all, I had changed the airport a bit, so some of the stuff you saw in the last update isnt present anymore. My apologies for this, and it won't happen again, I assure you! Next time i'll plan ahead better.

    Ok, this is the airport, (correct pic):

    As you can see, I removed one runway, and replaced it for a West-East runway. 09L-27R is a very long runway, and can even be used by the Airbus A380. One disadvantage of this runway is that the runway cannot be used to the East, due to complaints of the people who live near the airport. Landings are always on 09L, starts on 27R.

    I've also completed the first 2 piers, which are used by medium range aircraft. 

    Once again, I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE PICTURES AND STUFF, I'll plan ahead better in the future.

    Cya,

    Nice. The pier looks pretty nice. It's ok that you accidentally put up bad pics, nobody will kill you for it.

    Hey there,

    Today, I finished another pier:

    Pier C will be used for airplanes flying domestic routes further than 2000km. A maximum of 9 planes can use this pier. If needed, Boeing 737s can also use this pier.

    In the next update, a nice surprise for all of you!

    Alrighty, it took me a few days to complete, but here it is: your new update.

    Phases 1, 2 and 3 are finished, so next up is phase 4: Parking facilities and hangers.

    Here's what's new:

    This is Pier D, also known as the Red-Grey pier. This pier is only used by Northwest International Airways. Queen's Point is their new Hub. I personally love this part of the airport.

    Disturbing news just came in: Construction workers are on strike. They want less working hours and a higher salary.

    Just a joke, here's the real deal:

    Due to my exam week, I think I can't post anything new, because I have to study for my tests. This means, no update on Queen's Point for a couple of days. Hope you understand...

    PT

    P.S.

    I hope there are still people checking this CJ, lack of replies lately. If you want ot say something, or bring in an idea, don't hasitate, and post.
