Show us your Airports!

[joelyboy911 135]

Thanks guys. I'm trying my best to get the content out onto the exchanges ASAP. The approval process on SC4D is slowing me up at the moment (I have a backlog of mostly-completed projects actually), but I'll have A300 Jetways, Dash-8 Turboprops lots, A310 Mayor-Mode Plops, A330-200 Mayor-Mode Plops, the new small hangar and the non-branded hangars out soon.

Get ready for an explosion of content. (caveat empdor - it's not entirely inside my control)

I might think about jumping some of the things onto the STEX before they're approved on the SC4D LEX - perhaps the generic hangars would be a good candidate for that, I know they're quite well in-demand. As always, if there's something you want to see, you can post in our request threads on SC4D, or send me a PM here, or post in this thread.

@joelyboy911: LOL, you're forcing me to adapt my airports again and again to make place for your and the whole SCAG outstanding creations...

[joelyboy911 135]

Thanks. I feel bad when I've been teasing for so long and things are taking so long to get released. Please bear with me.

Joe you think you can make us a two-story terminal by using the main ACB terminals? ... & can you MAKE ME a Big US AIR hangar?

[joelyboy911 135]

I don't know about the terminals (and it's Joel, by the way - no harm done), but a US Airways hangar is certainly something I can look at. Do you know the one in Philadelphia?

Also, I'm about to release a prop pack of hangars - derived from the hangars I showed in my earlier post - but without any Air New Zealand signs, they are set up so that planes can be put inside of the hangar, which you could use with US Airways planes to build your US Airways maintenance area.

Hey - Nice airport and runway layout...For future reference your one runway that say 35L the "L" for left dshout be at the bottom of the runway and your runway parallel to it (your 26R) should actually be called 35R. The FAA sets runway numbers by the magnetic compass heading. Im a general avaition pilot I know! Im not being mean just giving you some advice next time to make your airports look real. Look at mine for instance (middle of this topic thread) see how i make the runways realisticquote>

 

thank you , i really didn't know anything about L R 35 26 or  any runaway symbols and meanings, i just put as eyecandy, but i will check the right positions to next airport and even to fix this one.  By the way you could tell me please where did u get those planes on taxi way and hangars of your airport?

Im only 30 nm north of Philly airport. My local municipal airport is Trenton Mercer (KTTN) & at PAULMC i got most of it from Simtropolis search airports and download mainly everything you see about airports (Download required depencies are a must)  Taxiways and hangars are from SimTrop and some "stuff" is from SC4 Devotion

[joelyboy911 135]

OK, well, maybe if you ever get a chance, you could take some pictures of that US Airways hangar? That would really, really help me to BAT it accurately. Trying to work off Google Street View is quite difficult. Right now I'm BATting a hangar of Virgin Blue Airlines (the Australian-based carrier), at Brisbane airport.

MMcallan Intl finished!!


main entrance to a terminal and some taxis



night shot of the 747s terminal



the big boys, where are my terminals, btw?


4 runways, not the best youve seen  probably.

@checoloma

where can i get those terminal buildings

[bigbubbamcgee 0]

If I may suggest some constructive ideas checoloma... One, the red "golden gate" suspension bridge is out of place in conjunction with the runway placement. Planes would/could crash into the towers of the bridge as they land or takeoff. Second, consider taking some of the planes out of the gate area for more realism and just leave empty gates. When was the last time you saw an airport that had every gate filled? Otherwise... very nice.

[checoloma 8]

bigbubbamcgee

probably never, but i live in mexico city, and the intl airport is always full, no gate free what so ever, but i already took some planes out and left the gates empty. as for the bridge lol , im a surgeon dont really know much about makin airports,just love the game!.

akhil1280

all of the terminals are in the stex, the big ones with the 380s, are from tabi if im

[Next time use the delete post function. -Porter]

[dghh70 5]

that was amazing. Sometimes at hartsfield the gates are filled

checoloma: Your airport is very well done, and very large indeed. To help make it have a bit more realism is to plop a few unoccupied gates long your terminals here and there, to simulate actual usage, as in some planes will be at their gates, and others will be either taking off, landing or still in the air. Also, pay close attention to how close you plop gates next to each other. I've noticed one strip has several small and larger sized planes next to each other and those wings look like they could scrape each other if one of em taxis out.

Great work on it nonetheless! And that terminal entrance is magnificent as well.

-------------------------------------------------------

Okay well I've shown my largest airport in here before, but because of a Harddrive wipe, I lost it, and have had to rebuild it. So I'll show my new one, abbreviated STK.

My first ever completed airport (and it's set for expansion later )

Saint Johannes International (STJ for short)

Overview of the Airport:

Terminal 1 (747s) and Main Train station

KLM Pier at Terminal 1

Gates for all other Airlines at Terminal 1

Terminal 2 and Domestic/Regional Gates

International Segment of Terminal 2, connected to Terminal 1

Another shot of the Train station and Parking

Cargo area, one of the places set to expand (you can also see some of the farmer's fields )

Start of runway 27R (currently there's only 2 runways 27R/09L, reason: I'm waiting for RMIP-3 to be released before making 27L/09R )

09L had to have a displaced threshold due to the farms, it lead to an interesting taxiway system

[dghh70 5]

I think the amount of 747s used is unrealistic add some 777 767 and a330 or a340. a380 is unrealistic for your airport

Even an a340 or 30 might be too big for the runway.

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Despite the fact I am not a custom airport person, here's a small expiriment I did:

After I took this, I deleted all the stuff you see, so there is no going back.

[Frdm920 50]

Saint Johannes International Version 2!

The Animation kinda forgot which way the runway goes

I had an overview shot but for some reason it didn't work properly :/

Eitherway with the exception of the KLM Terminal all terminals are in the same building.

Most flights from here go to Europe, several to the North American continent and some go to Asia.

[dghh70 5]

Some of the taxis the planes take are too close to the building

[bwong 36]

interesting indeed! I love the development of a smaller airport, into a larger airport!

I was just wondering, on the side note, which airport set(s) are you using?

[Frdm920 50]

@ dghh70

Which ones?

@frdm920ghh70 is right, any 747 could hit the UDI apron.

Hey guys.

Well I took alittle plane spotting trip to Philly the other day and I realized my airports are lacking absolute realism.

I have to change that.

After scrutinizing my airport from the ground up, I added some things to my airport.

First, between seeing KPHL terminal F and playing FSX, I noticed all of the ground traffic that goes on. So I tweaked the Airport Roads abit and added busses.

Also I finished a Satelitte terminal I never completed. Its entended to be a terminal for Cardinal Airlines, but I dont know how to create it using BAT. So it just has Privat Air

Still a work in progress. Feedback is appreciated

[jim 546 43]

Josh6: In your last picture, the roadways seem too close to the taxiways, wouldn't vehicles using that get clipped by the wings of passing aircraft? Also, it seems to be a tight squeeze to get the Olympic A340 past the small ERJ/CRJ behind it on its way to the gate. I have to say that buses add a lot of realism to your airport.
