Airport shuttle woes

I've been using "BLS Roth Air and City Bus". I can't even find the lot in my plugins folder (it's probably buried inside some DAT file somewhere). However...

I found another test:

Go to the "Zones" data view of your city... Hover over your airport shuttle stop... See what its zone is? If it says "airport", then you should be good to go 

I've only tested it in my own city with the one shuttle. YMMV, so you should still backup your city when you first try a new shuttle.

I'm quite certain this is a totally different lot that was included in AC Functional Airports. BLS is our BSC Goddess, @BarbyW's Lot Studio. The enabler should have installed to the X-Ports folder. But that file is fine.

@jeffryfisher I've checked your LEX history and you haven't downloaded the SFBT airport lot in question. It looks like you're using AC Functional Airports v2.2 instead. You should be good to go.

Sorry for opening up an old thread.

I have just started my quest to create my own airport with the AC Functional Airports v2.2 download. It has the SFBT lot in question as apart of the download. As I haven't had any issues with it I assume it is an updated version, question is, is it a functional airport? or now just a bus stop. When plopped and you click on it, the "Airport stats are empty...no capacity/usage etc. Just the "bus" capacity details.

The functional terminals in the pack don't fit my design but like the modular Eye Candy ones so the SFBT transit lot/Airport was easy to incorporate into my design...just wondering if those parts of it have been removed to prevent issues. Do I need to look for another functional "Airport" lot?

Thanks

No worries. CB and I deliberately changed the old guard rule such that asking questions in the appropriate thread (regardless of its last active status) is now encouraged.

I'd have to scroll back to see for sure, but I believe the original problem was that bulldozing the lot after plopping completely borked the city tile. As in CTD if you tried to load it thereafter. I'm also pretty sure after I found the cause the files on Devotion were immediately updated.

As a test, back up your city tile and then bulldoze your plopped lot to see what happens. (I'm certain even those who had plopped the bad lot could salvage it by adding the fixed file before bulldozing and replopping.)

Thanks CorinaMarie...

Ha, yeah. I come across this thread when searching to see if it was still functional and had that "Oh no" moment as I lost a city before to a slider bug. After reading thru the thread I could see it was fixed but it didn't mention if it was still an airport or if SCAG had the new file. As the query pop-up had no airport stats I thought that function may have been removed. When plopped and hovered  over it does have an airport zoning/tile.

And for this part I don't know.   I just got caught up being happy I remembered the main Woe of the thread.

So we still need an answer for you.

Late to the party but here goes. The latest updated "Create Your Own Airport Pack" can be found at the link below. Have yet to use it myself but according to those "In The Know" it is the "Bee's Knees" of Airport Packs. It does appear to include the latest and greatest and updated "Airport Shuttle" stuff as well. Enjoy. Hope this helps.

Thank you Nite Owl but that's the lot from the pack I'm questioning. In the menu its description is "A functional Airport shuttle bus station as a replacement for an Airport" with a 200,000 passenger capacity. But when it's plopped it has zero capacity and no usage for the airport stats but the bus stats are all normal (apart from neither showing monthly cost). If I demolish the lot and plop a normal airport from the pack everything works fine and shows capacity/usage etc, so I have demand etc, just that lot seems dead or isn't showing it's working.

The Airport pack it comes from is earmarked for an overhaul, unfortunately it's among a large group of projects in the same basket with no proposed date yet. Too bad, as it was the best looking and fitting to my building style in there lol. I ended up using one of the control towers as my "Airport", as it had similar stats and works.
