Not at all, but remember the winner will be decided on the most realistic airport.

[bigthing 35]

You are all really good.

I wish i were as good as you all.

I hope to get better though :-) (confidence!!)

[SomeRandomAmerican 5]

Just an update, I was going to make an AFB with some custom RMIP lots I made. But I didn't like it, so I tacked on two more runways and made it an international airport with an Air National Guard detatchment. Almost done. My winning pics will be up soon.

Great guys! I can't wait!

Welcome to Terragen International Airport! (Edit: Hi Reddit! 3/16/13)



Terragen International Airport is a major aerial gateway located in the fictional Crescent County, California. It is a new focus city for two airlines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines, and is served by 14 airlines and 2 subsidiaries to 48 destinations in Canada, Great Britain, Japan, and the US. Twenty million passengers passed through the airport in 2008.

The airport has 50 gates and two parallel runways. Runway 18L/36R is 11,020 feet x 150 feet, while Runway 18R/36L 8920 feet x 150 feet. Both are capable of handling full-size jets.




The airport features a large midfield terminal complex and has three concourses. A brand new international terminal is currently under construction, and is slated to open in the summer of 2012. An additional 25-gate satellite concourse to expand domestic capacity is planned but has not been officially approved due to the stagnating economy.




Concourse A is located immediate beyond both security checkpoints, and the layout hugs the terminal building. It has nine gates and is serviced by the following airlines:

• Delta Air Lines: Gates A1-A3 (Atlanta, Cincinnati, New York-JFK, Salt Lake City)
• JetBlue Airways: Gates A4-A5 (Boston, Long Beach)
• Continental Airlines: Gates A6-A9 (Cleveland, Honolulu, Houston-Intercontinental, Newark)

Concourse B has 13 gates. It is being used temporarily for international flights until the new Concourse D is completed; however, domestic airlines are still serviced through here as well. Concourse B is served by the following airlines:

• British Airways: Gate B1 (London-Heathrow)
• Alaska Airlines: Gate B2-B3 (Portland OR, Seattle-Tacoma)
• Northwest Airlink: Gate B3 (Detroit) Note: Delta Air Lines will be consolidating this flight under their existing merger with Northwest within a matter of months. At that point Alaska Airlines will claim sole control of the gate.
• Virgin America: Gate B4 (San Francisco) Note: plane shown is Virgin Blue livery temporarily leased to Virgin America
• Frontier Airlines: Gate B5 (Denver)
• US Airways: Gates B6-B8 (Charlotte, New York-LaGuardia, Philadelphia, Phoenix)
• WestJet: Gates B9-B10 (Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver)
• Air Canada Jazz Gate B11 (Vancouver)b]Horizon Air: Gates B12-B13 (Portland OR, Seattle-Tacoma, Spokane)

Concourse C is a remote concourse connected to the main terminal via a ground-level walkway. It contains 28 gates. The west wing is served by the following airlines:

• United Express: Gates C1-C4 (Boise, Denver, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Portland OR, Reno-Tahoe, San Francisco, Seattle-Tacoma
• United Airlines: Gates C5-C13 (Baltimore-Washington, Boston, Chicago-O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Los Angeles, Orlando, San Francisco, Tokyo-Narita, Washington-Dulles)

The east wing of Concourse C is served by the following airlines:

• American Airlines: Gates C14, C16, C18 (Boston, Chicago-O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, St. Louis)
• Southwest Airlines: Gates C15, C17, C19-C28 (Albuquerque, Austin, Burbank, Chicago-Midway, Denver, Houston-Hobby, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Ontario CA, Orange County, Phoenix, Portland OR, Reno/Tahoe, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle/Tacoma, Spokane)

Concourse D is currently under construction. When completed, the concourse will contain 12 gates, and the new terminal extension will expand the airport's capacity to handle international transpacific and transatlantic flights. New routes to Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, and Mexico are all under consideration.




Terragen International Airport can be accessed in several ways. Shown above is the intersection of the airport access road with CA Route 21. From the north, CA 21 is an eight-lane freeway that heads into the downtown core. South of the intersection, the freeway narrows to just four lanes and heads into the unincorporated suburbs and rural areas of the south county. This portion passes the airport via a trench that stradles the western taxiways.

Public transportation is available. A number of bus routes serve the airport, and there is also a light-rail connection - CityTrak's Green Line terminates at the airport.

The airport contains several long-term parking lots that are connected to the terminals via shuttle buses. One of these is located in the median of CA 21.




Rental car facilities are available offsite via shuttle bus. These are also in the median of CA 21.




Several hotels are available to passengers passing through. Here is a small selection of them; some are located farther away.




A small general aviation area is located at the north end of the airport.




The main general aviation area is located between the runways on the south side of the airport. Cargo facilities are also based here.

Shown below are some miscellaneous shots:





That's all!

I will confess I probably don't know a damn thing about building airports, but I gave it a shot just for the contest. So here goes. Its the best airport I've ever pulled off.

Here's my airport, Anderson International Airport and Air National Guard Base. It features three paralell runways: two for the actual airport, and one reserved for the Air Guard. Being the largest airport in the large nation of Acadia, almost every major airline in the world has a gate here, with the largest presences belonging to Southwest, American, and JAL.

Here's the ANG Base. Nothing special, just my cookie-cutter lots combined with a mix of tabi and PEG military plane props.

Most of the flights into Anderson are regional flights. 737s, CRJs, and A320s make up most of the mix.

The two International Terminals have flights to over a dozen countries. A340s and 747s handle most of them.

There's a small General Aviation holding by on the Western edge of the airport, full of Cessnas and Learjets.

And, in direct competition to one of Hutt's pictures above, the airports large long-term parking facilities. The Acadia Convention Center and a group of hotels are also nearby.

Thats all I've got, I think it looks pretty good. Hopefully you all do, too.

It will probably be the end of August. I want to give enough time for people just finding out about this thread. Also with RMIP-3 coming out soon I want people to show airports with those in it. 

Thanks- Dac1996

How complete does the airport have to be, anyways? I've got the runways, terminal and all that completed, but I still need parking, hotels, roadway access, etc. in there.

[3dpuzzlemaster 20]

All these airports are nice. Good job!

Well technically I want to see all of those but I also want realism in an entry. A solution could be to photoshop some parking and hotels into your photographs. Don't ask me how to do that. I know it can be done, but I don't know how.

[edman2012 33]

Damb, these are nice! They should be uploaded to the stex as functional airports!

[DAC1996 0]

Ok guys well the contest has ended. Sorry for those of you who wanted to enter but couldn't. Well I will evaluate all of the pics and videos and I will make a winner's video. Thank You to all who entered!

Man, a bit off topic, but, I cant wait until RMIP 3 comes out! Great airports, BTW!

[The_Hutt 11]

It's been two weeks...any progress?

[DAC1996 0]

Oh yeah sorry I have been a little short on time. But uhh I guess it isn't a proper congrats but The_Hutt won. That was a very realistic airport! Well that's it. Ok then. Bye.

[Philadelphia 25]

I will have to post some pics soon.......(100th post!!!!!!!)
