was impressed by some of the airport designs that some players share here. So I decided to start a new airport (no sandbox mode) and do some screenshots during the various stages.
Below two first impressions. An initial outlay and the first major expansion.
The terminal is built to the right, but in the end it should be in the center. I like symmetrical structures, therefore I try to create a symmetrical terminal building as well (in the end).
Now with two medium-sized stands. What I really like about ACEO is ones ability to define the centerlines. I want to have most of the Tarmac covered by taxiway foundation and play a bit with the centerlines.
Now… There are enough Medium Stands for the initial phase and to make enough money. Adding some shops and you have a rather nicely functioning airport. What bothers me, however, is the long queue of aircraft at the runway. I do not want to stop GA aircraft, so I added a second runway for small commercial aircraft and GA.
So now I have one main runway for medium sized commercial aircraft and one smaller runway for small commercial aircraft and GA.
For a baggage system, you cannot cross streams (sorry baggage lines). It requires quite a bit of space for both the baggage handling bay and the luggage collection hall. Good luck.
It would be a 50/50% chance of being normal or Aurora, game would randomly choose which livery except I never got around to releasing that version though I’m afraid.
Good to see her flying into other players builds though.
I first extended my “base terminal” with another large check-in area and a dedicated baggage pick-up room. Now I have a regional terminal (left side) with only Small Stands attached to it and also only for check-in for the regional aircraft. The old terminal got a bit crowded.
The new construction offers many check-in counters for my medium-sized aircraft stands.
And here we go. After extending my second runway to more than 1000m, I changed the runway set-up again. Now my N/S runway is exclusively for landings and my E/W runway exclusively for take-offs. I also added another North Tarmac with an additional three medium-sized stands.
Again, let me know what you think. Any suggestions?
