Is it possible to create a custom Airport with this area of land?

[PontiacFiero84 109]

Hey all , I wanted to know ( Because im new to the custom airports ) is it possible to create a small custom Airport with this chunk of land? I downloaded one Airport add-on which adds alot of runways and all.

Do you suggest any Downloads or tips for me , any links / suggestions will be appreciated . Thanks.

I think if the avenue wasn't in the way(Or diverted into a tunnel), then yes, in some way you can create a custom airport(Although probably not a large one).

Thanks for the feedback , I was looking into creating a Extremely small version of LaGaurdia Airport in NYC. That's why that big chunk of land is extended.

For an airport that land is not really that big. Your runway would be way too short. I would suggest extending something off the land you extended that goes towads the river. Use it to extend your runway

i think that if you make the runway/runways go parallel the inlets you have the starts of a nice airport design, BTW i like the prison island!

Thanks , it's supposed to be Rikers Island in NYC.

I say you should build the runways towards the highway, just make a tunnel for it to go under the airport. If you built it right, it would look really cool.

Thanks dude , i'll see what I can create today and it post it later on .

As people mentioned, you could build the highway underground to accommodate it, or build the airport into the water. Here is an example from an old CJ:

Either way, I am sure you'll do a great job

WOW , that looks spectacular!

Anyway this is what I made earlier today . Can anyway suggest some Airport Taxi Runways for me?

Ok it looks like your using an older version, which is fine, but the newer ones look a lot nicer. Here are some links to some of the best packs. They take a little getting used to, but I would love to help you figure any questions out. Just PM me or post in this thread.

There is also this:

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/18476-rmip-2-small-airport-edition-vol-4/

(dont forget the older files as dependancies. Use these packs to build your runways and taxiways and tarmacs.)

For your planes, gates, and terminals try these:

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/18477-acb-vlt-terminals-and-jets-series-1-part-1/

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/18479-acb-vlt-terminals-and-jets-series-1-part-2/

And lastly, while the above linked ones are NOT functional, you can get this:

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/19024-airport-tram/

It acts like an airport by raising demand, etc, but is 1x1, so convenient and can be placed anywhere. If you have any trouble, or more questions, feel free to PM me.

BTW- the airport is looking good, but the runways definitely need to be longer

I second that. Way too few land for a reasonable runway. To be realistic for a small version of what La Guardia represents - a small short-medium-range hub/airport due to the limited capacity and short runways (7000ft which is about 133 tiles - work with at least 100 tiles for runway length, which is very short already, but just enough for a Q400 or Dash8 at max takeoff weight or smaller business jets like Citation, G100, Hawker 800. With MRJT like 737 or A318 it'll be too short already unless your virtual airlines consider field length limited takeoff weights... but don't even think of LRJT like 747s or 380s

I agree with GMT, the runways have to be much longer. Alternatively, I'd go with a single runway design and fill out the water to claim needed land for the runway expansion. Still it's your airport and your style, so ultimately you decide. It's a great start, nevertheless.
