That “DISRESPECTING THE TOPOGRAPHY” moment was golden 😂😂😂 Beautiful airport! I’ve really been enjoying this series and taking inspiration from it for my own builds. I really appreciate your creativity! This is premium content.

[@dalubnie]

DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS!!!

[@stefr13]

You know the game is realistic when you have to cut out a mountain to build an airport.

I was laughing hard imagining @CityPlannerPlays twitching

[@Running-withscissors]

Yes he's pretty good. But everyone of you guys has specific skills you're good at. I don't think I could rank you guys because I watch everyone of you for different reasons.

Hellooo

[@smirkyglint5437]

Hi oe love ur content

[@TheEventHorizon909]

As someone who works at a smaller international airport (PWM), I would personally add a second runway because single runway airports almost never service large jets like that and almost all large airports have 2 or more runways, even most small international or regional airports like the one I work at have 2 runways.

[@ulysseslee9541]

Gatwick, Kaitak in 90's: Am I joke ??

[@Kisamaism]

@@ulysseslee9541 yep!

[@six_twentythree]

Yeah agreed, a simple parallel runway would do!

[@imperatur]

San diego😅

[@TheEventHorizon909]

@@imperatur yeah exceptions do always exists but the issue with single runways is that in real life, for large airports a single runway (such as when my airport had to close one of its runways for construction) tends to cause much more time taxing and waiting which would definitely annoy passengers. I just personally recommend a parallel runway just to make your cims have to wait less lol

[@alinecruz3079]

Not even Biffa does so much beautifying around his city, this is an amazing city, and the fact it’s vanilla amazes me, I don’t have enough money for a PC so I play on the console I’ve had for 6 years now, and I can’t buy DLC’s either, but I feel like my city is actually growing really nicely. I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration from this channel and biffa’s as well, but I love every single build you do. Thanks for making my days better with this kind of videos.

[@andimension]

I have a laptop, but city only pulls with low settings ((((

[@noobbuildscities9730]

A little bit of me dies every time I see a gorgeous interchange with almost no cars on it. I know it's more for show but the engineer in me won't let me waste that much space when a regular 4 lane road will do. I love the airport. Parking garage was very unique. I just wish us console folks got more than 9 tiles as this airport is way too big for my cities. I love the channel and great work you do, thanks!

[@daveawb]

I agree with you as it is, however knowing how he builds, it wouldn't be a waste medium to long term with the expansion capabilities that this interchange opens up without time wasted on rebuilding it if he'd just used a 4-lane road.

[@noobbuildscities9730]

@@daveawb fair point, the city could grow into it.

[@Hokie11]

We have 25 tiles now! Makes this more doable

[@noobbuildscities9730]

[@somevincentsauce]

Thanks for the shoutout! Moneymaking tactics: by placing a bunch of High density residences and a variety of shops. Maybe sort of Commie block style planning. Or, for an alternative, a large industrial complex featuring a megasized Cargo Rail Yard. Maybe a fictitive rail company to go with it. Stepford County Railway Company, if you will. Maybe for the future of Stepford and Evergreen County? Could come when a new update to trains is added to the Vanilla game?

[@imperatur]

I hope they will release some new trains soon! Maybe european commuter trains would be great:) Yeah I definitely have to expand residential and industrial areas

I am absolutely blown away every single time that you build something. I am personally horrible at the game, but I was able to make a vanilla skyline. I am so impressed and, in my opinion, you are the best cities skylines builder I have seen. I think you should be nominated for best cities skylines builer (I dont know if that even exists LOL)

[@bricks_and_cities]

This is definitely one of the most realistic Vanilla airports I've seen. Everything in this build just sits so correctly. Love it! ♥

[@alex94101]

Doing curved runway to simulate the connections between them and the main airstrip is a nice touch. Genius! 👏🏻

[@robloxio_masteriogaming7546]

Yay, another vid! Keep up the good work!

[@imperatur]

Thanks!:)

[@hunteranddajman2]

To fix your budget you should increase your population to bring in more taxes, especially now that you’ve started a new city! (That new skyline looks kinda barren without some sprawling transit oriented suburbs!) Awesome airport!!

[@imperatur]

Bro it takes forever to expand the city:D

[@ShawFujikawa]

The first video of yours I ever watched was your 'International Airport on an Artificial Island' video from back in the day, so this brings a weird feeling of nostalgia to be watching you build this one now lol.

[@andimension]

feeling deja vu

[@robertbaker4186]

You doing it all in vanilla and with no mods shows your the best. I've been waiting for you to add an air port and its incredible. Your work makes me feel like everything I do on the game is inferior but you give me inspiration to do better :) thank you do much for uploading

[@moneymanxd3648]

What a build man. I really love your content! Keep it up!

[@andimension]

In the next video, you can build a huge suburb with a large park around the whole city, combining it with different styles of country houses and styles of roads. And you can also implement a ski resort (as in the Alps). I would be very grateful if you notice))).

[@whitesinjonlovealso7138]

Wonderful 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheArmouredArmadillo]

great build, you never fail to impress. Only comment is maybe some of those trees that were there before the build at the end of the runway are violating height restrictions lol, hard to tell if they're too close or not. Anyway, look forward to seeing what you do next.

[@imperatur]

Yeah didn’t thought about that I‘ll remove the pines the other trees shouldn’t be a problem:)

[@TheArmouredArmadillo]

@@imperatur excellent choice, just adds to the realism :)

I have recently found you and I’ve been binging everything. Watching you build is a lot of fun, but while I’m doing it, I keep catching myself dancing to the music. 😂

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

You made a single runway airport out of vanilla. Impressive design and layout. What about a vanilla airport with multiple runways instead of one? But, that takes a lot more space than this one.

[@imperatur]

Maybe I‘ll add one more runway..:D And I built ton of airports with multiple runways in the past:)

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

@@imperatur, I see.

[@homborgor2723]

This is an amazing airport but a word of advice. As it is an international airport, it could get very busy, so maybe add 1 more runway for safety purposes. You don’t have to do this it is just an idea. I love this. Keep up the amazing work ❤️❤️❤️

[@imperatur]

Yeah but where to fit the extra runway:D

[@paquettemd]

Amazing build amazing series best airport I’ve seen love the way with no mods very helpful now time for episode 1 of planes not giving a crap about landing and taking off

[@jimyvanloock3510]

Investing into residential, commercial, or just checking any chokeholds in traffic or problems in the city would help with balancing the checkbooks. A bit of maintenance after building up so much and letting it all run for a while.

[@HolyCheese4481]

For your bankruptcy issue, you should set a budget for each of your episodes so that you know how much your going to spend for each build. Great job as well! Amazing airport! 👏

[@wutguycreations]

All the reasons I could never do this: - I don't have the DLCs (too expensive) - my PC is a literal potato (either 3 fps or crashing is all I have with mods installed) - I'm 100% not creative enough to do this still, I look up to your insane building skills and I really wish I could do something like that one day!!!

Usually, whenever I need money I improve DLC-type industry. In every each of my cities this makes like 70-80% of my income. I run a giant fabric at that point...

[@fish3880]

You can fix your budget by lowering the vehicle count on the buslines. It helped me a lot!

I balanced the number of busses individually on the lines to fit the demand:)

[@mauro.bender]

Hey! Love the airport! Your graphics look really sharp, are you using any mods to improve them?

[@gumbyshrimp2606]

I don’t think the airport needs two runways because the area appears to prioritize regional rail quite well.

[@ChrisLovesThisGame]

Haha! They announced a flight to Calgary at the beginning and that's where I live :)

Your factories will import less if you develop more resource industries on your map. Farms are perfect for the outskirts of your city beyond the suburbs.

You might want to make only exports from your industries. Instead of a in and out. Only have 1 way roads going out. That may help. Same with the cargo trains.

[@gp5313]

Gorgeous

[@tomaszburzynski576]

To fix your budget I suggest one trick I heard from other youtuber (or mayby from you? I am not sure anymore :)). Find places where a lot of people are coming through, like on transport hubs for example, and put on their ways parks with gates. They won't stop to coming that way and each time you will earn as much as you set your park.
