Thank you! Here you go: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=481423357&searchtext=ocean+liner

Thanks! I knew it felt familiar, I actually have seen it before but rejected it because of larger footprints. A shame really, I'll have to think about it again I guess...

Nice. Very impressive work. Your pics more often than not can pass for photos.

[dedgren 830]

Whoa!  Busy, busy, busy... I go offline for a few days and some really great stuff happens here.  The "Dirty harbor" may be some of your best screenies yet.  And I agree- the breakwater you've made is really a pretty amazing creation.  Well worth a second look.

Thank you David!

Latest update!:

 

The road that will lead to the airport. (both railway and road)

 

Overview of the city so far. The main rail station can be seen in the background

 

One of the bus hubs at the rail station: (the small ones are used as shuttle buses going to the airport)

 

A custom made stairway, leading to the station:

 

View from one of the office building:

That bus hub looks great, and the stairway in the next pic is brilliant. Awesome work.

Excellent work there as always

On we go!

The latest project is the airport.

Its quite an large airport with both domestic and international flights.

It consist of 2 runways, 3 terminals and a cargo hub. (some general aviation aswell)

 

The shots below show Terminal 2 and 3, which serves mostly international traffic.

Bare in mind the whole airport is still a WIP :-)

 

Terminal 3 to the left and terminal 2 to the right.

 

Terminal 3, with four large gates, two medium gates and 5 stands.

 

Terminal 2, with two large gates and six medium ones.

 

Quite a view from that control tower!

 

A top down photo showing both terminals.

The idea behind the airport configuration is to simulate an airport that once started small, and undergone expansions as the time went on.

 

 

Until next time!

 

[Matthias King 348]

Awesome work. It looks like an aerial photo.

[Leeijo 314]

As always, the level of details! Definitely looking forward to more!

And more you shall get! (soon). I've completed terminal 1 aswell as the cargo hub :-)

[charlesnew 262]

Amazing! I just want to copy that airport prop by prop into my city even though I should make my own! It just looks so good.

[Farsight 0]

Your work is stunning! a friend linked me here and after more than a year away from cities skylines you've inspired me to come back to it.

I wont be anywhere near as good as you but i'm going to try to set up a city journal to keep me motivated. 

keep up the amazing work

Thank you very much! Im glad to hear you are back in the game. Comments like this is what makes me going!

Dont hesitate to link your upcoming journal :-)

Only thing I'll say to this fantastic airport is that with Terminal 3 and the heavy gate, that taxiway looks a little narrow if another heavy/medium jet wanted to get by!

Thanks mate :-)

That is absolutely true, hence why i placed the taxiway (to the right of the parked aircraft) leading out of the apron. This way other heavy aircrafts can easily just use the outer taxiway :-)

[Robban040 1,091]

I've really enjoyed building this airport, and so much progress has been made! :-)

 

Terminal 1 complete: Its used for short flights to the local islands.

 

I've completed the General Aviation area aswell (might add another one later):

There's pathways leading to a seperate "GA-terminal"l, which is connected to terminal 1

 

The cargo apron. DHL has a hub here:

"Feeder flight" for DHL being loaded/unloaded. These small aircraft travel between the islands.

A rare visitor, Lufthansa B742 being loaded with pallets:

 

Heavy rain often bash the airport, and when it does you need proper water drainage:

 

Last one for today, short final for this ERJ-195

 

Im now working on a remote stand, a hangar area and the runways/taxiway system.

Stay tuned! :-)

What props are you using for the apron flood lights, I can't seem to find them on the workshop?

[Robban040 1,091]

I've completed a hangar area aswell as a remote stand.

 

A general view of the airport:

 

The approach for Runway 17:

 

The remote stand. Mostly used for storing the evening/morning flights during day-/night time due to the restricted amount of gates at the terminals:

 

The hangar area, which also holds a few "remote stands":

 

Someone asked for a few night time shots, so here it goes (ignore the runway/taxiway system which is still not complete)

 

Thats all for now!

Next up is texturing the runways and taxiways.

You made me to suscribe to all airport assets I found in the Steam Workshop. I really love your airport and I'm trying to do something similar to your job.

I have a doubt, I hope you could help me. I have the terminal buildings and the boarding gates but I don't know if there's a specific way to put them together making them functional. Do I have to build the terminals, borading gates or the taxiways in an specific way?

I've never built a module airport

Thank you for the kind words!

Not sure to be honest. The airport i've built is a non-funtional one. I know there are some other assets which are funtional, and with those all you have to do is connect them to the taxiways and then to the runways. They function as a one way street, so make sure the arrows are in the same direction

I've missed commenting on the last couple of updates Robban, but that doesn't mean I'm not paying attention.  Your airport is something to be marveled at.  To be able to to take a bunch of available things- assets, textures, decals- and combine them all together into something entirely new and different and completely convincing takes a modeler's skill I can only dream about possessing.  I can only imagine the investment of time you have in "Project X." Congrats too on posting updates into your CJ's second year.  Not many journals have "the legs" to run that long-- it's easy to see why yours does.

Really great work- I can't wait to see what you'll be working on next.

Thank you very much David!

Might be a while until the next update though, time for some vacation! :-)

[Robban040 1,091]

Small update!

Completed the airport docks, which serves both ferries and cargo ships.

Overview:

 

 

Its connected by railway (cargo only):

 

Shuttle busses transporting passengers to/from the terminals:

 

In the background you can spot the main city:

 

Cleared to land!:

 

One lonely helicopter:

 

 

 

[dedgren 830]

Absolutely stunning detail work.  I can't imagine how long it takes to nail down every little detail like that.

[charlesnew 262]

Well done, phenomenal stuff! The airport and docs are so realistic!

As always an amazing build!! btw it would be nice if you could link me the asset you used for the light pole on your tarmac? 

[Roadman20 601]

By far the most detailed airport in Skylines I've seen.  Mad props.
