It fits.  A crosswind would be exciting though, haha.

[dghh70 5]

Try putting in one one crosswind

[Frdm920 50]

Nothing much, just an example of the gates.

Hi Everyone -

I am working on a scale version of London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and need some help on gates. Has anyone released /produced diagonal gates? Terminal 4 and parts of 1-3 have gates at a 45 degree angle, and I cant find any!!

All the airports shown here are great - they have been my inspiration to create my own.

I have laid one runway (9L and 27R) and part of the taxiways associated with it my next task is to work on the northern runway and taxiways and then build the terminals....... so far it has taken around 24 hours of building . i will post some pictures once i get a bit further

Yes. There are diagonals in the ACE-VLT airport terminal series, there are 20^ gates too.

[TekindusT 3,809]

Although nearly the 100% of the lotted planes in gates out there are in an orthogonal layout, you can find a diagonal gate in this pack [link]. I haven't got this pack installed, I've only seen it on the pic.

Here is my airport :

[dghh70 5]

Simfreak. Your widebodies don't have room to taxi

[Frdm920 50]

Westerbok Airport, Small to Medium sized International Airport. Also has Cargo and Air Force facilities

[dghh70 5]

FRD your airport is awesome

[TekindusT 3,809]

A new airport from me...

[Frdm920 50]

That's awesome Tek! Though only two problems 1) Both ends of your runway have the same designator (27) and 2) Those fuel tanks look like they're in a bit of a dangerous position

[dghh70 5]

TKindus t what is the largest jet that works at your airport?

[kingdiz_55 12]

Seems to me that he's only handling up to 757s for cargo on that airport.

[TekindusT 3,809]

Yeah, the airport is intended to host short haul passenger flights and medium haul cargo flights (the taxiing TNT cargo plane is an A300, the largest one I can use here).

I agree with the designator number (what a fail, I don't know how I hadn't realized before!) but as for the fuel tanks; I placed them there because of the lack of space. This "island" is the only place where all airplanes have an easy access... As far as I've checked, only the A300 would have a problem there.

I really get a kick out of seeing my work in your airports, guys! Really glad you're enjoying the MMPs, there are more of those coming out soon too! Great airports, Frdm920 and TedinkusT, and very nicely taken pictures. Bravo.

[checoloma 8]

well, some improvements to the macallan int airport added some shuttle to the plane, buses, trolleys and vehicles to the airport streets. And finally the financial center, the hotels, convention centers and of course tons of tax free shopping malls, and food courts and restaurant. hope you like it. try to select what i think are some of the best bats created by some of you guys.
Some pics for now, later some.

[Frdm920 50]

Ok so I'm building a new airport. Only problem is not sure where to put the following things:

1. Terminals
   • International Terminal 1 (Serves B747s and A380s)
   • International Terminals 2 - 3 (Serve 737s and A320s)
   • Schengen Terminal (Flights within the Schengen Area 737s, A320s, CRJs, ATR42/72s)
   •  Domestic Terminal (737s,  ATR42/72)
2. Air Force Base
3. Cargo Handling Area

So this is the plan:

[dghh70 5]

Put them around the intersections of the runways.

[kingdiz_55 12]

checoloma: a lot of your pictures weren't pictures of airports. Please be more considerate when posting pictures as more pictures consume more bandwidth. (very expensive for some users)

Frdm920: That looks promising. Hope you post some progress shots.

I really think we should have a picture posting limit per post in the forums with the exception of the CJ sections.

[Josh6 873]

I agree with the picture posting limit.

Limiting it to 5 sounds fair

[jim 546 43]

Frdm920: Maybe have all the terminals on the inside of the "L" shape the runways make, and have a different style for each as if the terminal has expanded and modernised. Cargo could go to the south of the parallel runways. I've never seen a major airport with air force facilities, commercial and military are usually kept well apart.

[Frdm920 50]

Progess has been made!

Cargo Area:

Aircraft Repairs Area (Currently hangers can only handle planes up to 737/A300)

Airside of Schengen Terminal:

Current plan: As you can see I haven't placed the Air Force base and I'm probably going to drop it.

AS = Airside, LS = Landside

Was thinking of trying to make T2 AS part in this type of style (Airside D):

What does everyone think?

[kingdiz_55 12]

Frdm920: Are those my lots I see? )

[SimcityFuturist 125]

[kingdiz_55 12]

ESTERNOCLEIDOMASTOID: what's up with the green things next to the CRJs

[Frdm920 50]

More progress!

@ King, yep those are yours If you make an active version expect them to get used as well. Oh and these are yours as well:

Terminal 1 is now fully complete (obviously though the surrounds are not)

Current state of Terminal 2, Still needs completion

So things to complete:

• Terminal 2
• Terminal 4 (Domestic)
• Grass
• Surrounding Area

[firehawkordy 28]

I think that they are tow tractors, they popped up on my cargo ramp when I put in a very large hangar, not the NZ one but I forgot the name of the file. They are the ones in Frdm920's pics.

Frdm920, as for your question about placing a military ramp, try putting it in across the street from the repair area. I've seen some joint use bases in real life, Phoenix Sky harbor and the old AFRES base at Van Nuys Ca. along with Chitose and Komatsu in Japan. Check the LEX for some good military lots to use, also most joint use fields have just one or two types of military air craft. The exception is a Joint Reserve Base where both Navy, Air Force units use the same facilitates.

I just lost six hours of work on my own airport, I guess I'll start over in the morning, this time I plan on getting some screen shots as I go. Here's what I have planned,

International Terminal, Domestic and Commuter Terminal, Air Cargo ramp along with a JRB. What I would like to know is where I can find some lotted Huey and Blackhawk helos? I spent quite a bit of time in an H-1 and H-60 squadron while I was in the Navy and they would look good on my ramp.

[kingdiz_55 12]

Frdm920: That airport is really huge! It didn't seem so in your first picture. Good luck with that, by the way.

[Frdm920 50]

Ok main body of terminal 4 is complete. Will take firehawkordy's advice and put the military ramp near the Hangars

So basically all that's left is completing T2 the taxiways and tidying up.
