Project "Random Airport"

[dedgren 830]

Absolutely beautiful work. Favorited, and time set aside for a current careful read from start to finish.  I can't wait to see more.

Thank you David and I'm glad you liked it :-)

Covered more than half the island by now.

And as always, I cant resist smacking down some skyscrapers....bit unrealistic but what the heck!

 

Overview:

 

Downtown (with the "damn" sckyscrapers)

 

 

A major bus station:

 

Why not go straight from the office to the beach?

 

Hopefully i can hold back abit with the tall buildings...but knowing myself, probably not! :-)

It doesn't look too unrealistic. It reminds me a little bit of Miami. Just try to keep in mind how much office space and living space you have and whether it's realistic to your population, and I mean the population it would actually have, not what the game says. I just look at it and ask myself whether the city would have the population to justify the amount of office space and various commercial space.

For what it's worth, I don't think you've gone too crazy with the skyscrapers. It's a long, long way from looking like a clone of Manhattan.

Looks like a typically island paradise getting spoilt by the need for big development, typically some Mediterranean cities that desire towering hotels that the charm away.

Bloody amazing. Keep coming with those screens!

Hi there

Love your work and detailing. 

How did you make your International Airport Building on page 2 ?

[rovapasi1 53]

That should be Joaks International Airport combined with one of Hikke

[dedgren 830]

Really nice update.  Having traveled by bicycle the length of the US Atlantic coast last year from Maine to Key West, Florida and thus seen that sort of development up close and personal I agree with Matthias King that you certainly have not overdone things with the tall buildings along the beachfront road.  It looks like what you'd expect in a significant urban area in that sort of location.  Your bus stop screenie makes me wish once more that a mod could be developed that would put a point that would spawn very low vehicle count traffic- say a car or truck every two minutes or so, even randomized between 30 seconds and that long, on almost always unused side roads and streets.  It always has looked somewhat strange to me to see traffic on central arterial roads and streets but pretty much nowhere else.

Keep your heads down!

 

The fuel comsumption is high!

 

Part of the cargo apron:

 

Just after take off:

Stay tuned!

 

 

I don't think this airport is the combination of Joak's and Hikke ?

Thank you for your input!

At the moment the amount of tall building might be justified regarding the population. But i tell you, soon enough I'll go crazy...i always do haha :-(

Haha yeah you are absolutely right. With hordes of tourist just destroying the pitoresque feeling

Regarding the airport its a bunch of buildings combined, with the main part being this:

Thank you David :-)

Yeah that mod would be awesome...guess we can only dream of it right now. Byt seeing how long this game has come since the release I dont think its impossible we will see it one day :-)

[Robban040 1,091]

Right now I'm having some troubles with textures and props flickering/disappearing whenever i zoom in. All the traffic is gone aswell.

Anyone knows a solution to this problem?

This sounds awfully familiar. Do you also experience trees disappearing? And decals flickering? In my case I suspect it had to do with props in the water. Could be boats from the boat pack or a wooden boat in the shallow lake. In one case unsubscribing the boats helped, in another deleting a sunken boat in a slow river. In one case I had to clean out a whole stretch of rocks, plants and stuff between water and lakeside where I had been working on just before the "incident". Sometimes a hint is gained from where it happens when you zoom in (and where it doesn't). It's definitely annoying.

I found the cause.

It was this prop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=853027363&searchtext=trawler

I removed it and now it works fine again :-)

Glad to hear. Awkward that floating props cause this... In one case I deleted the boat, unsubsrcibed and resubsrcibed it, added it again and all was fine...

[Robban040 1,091]

Yeah its rather strange. Gonna keep it unsubscribed even though it would be perfect for my current project

[dedgren 830]

There ought to be a master list of dodgy mods and assets kept somewhere.

Just sayin'.

Yeah, if im not misstaken there is one....somewhere. Not sure where to find it though :-P

 

[Robban040 1,091]

Progress has been made!

Actally soon the whole island is complete, just a small area left to do.

 

This is the area I've been working on.

Added a arena and another marina:

 

Much activity in the bay!

 

A nice view for the lazy people at the beach...

 

The bay:

 

Aaah the waste of electricity....just realised I havnt added a power plant yet..doh!

 

 

Thats all for now, next update will be the last one i guess :-)

 

[dedgren 830]

Hate to be the one to have to go out and line up those beach chairs every morning.  Another fine update!  The last screenie is a keeper.

Haha yeah, poor guy!

Cheers!

[Robban040 1,091]

Well then!

So I couldnt bother finishing the last details of the island (might come back later and finish it off)

Instead I went ahead and started on a new map.

Have only just started with the harbor, but here is a few shots of what I got so far:

 

A cruise ship terminal!

 

A home made draw bridge (yeah yeah I know it would never work! :-P)

[Leeijo 314]

Nice! 

I was planning on doing the same concept for a cruise terminal, guess you beat me to it

As always, high quality and original work from you!

Inspiration for my city  Wonderful city you have!

Thanks buddy!

I really like the challenge with a more mountainous map.

So far I havnt really gotten to the part of the map with the greatest elevation differences, but mostly I've been building the harbor and started on the connecting parts of the city. Here is what I got so far:

 

Starting of with one that should have been included in the last post, one of my favorites, so I just had to share it. The angle is a bit different compared to the one in the previous post :-)

 

This is the railroad going to the harbor, which you can spot in the background.

 

Part of the "oil port"

 

This bridge will connect a series of islands aswell as a future airport.

 

Dirty harbor!

 

Some small stores along one of the roads going to the harbor:

[Matthias King 348]

Impressive, as always. I really like that multicolored building and the way you used the seawalls around behind it. I'd like to see more shots of that from different angles. It turned out really good.

[Leeijo 314]

Really nice!

I can't seem to find any passenger ship props on the workshop. Where did you get yours?

Here are a few from a different angle:
