Cities Skylines: Springwood Airport Layout - EP24 -

In this episode we begin work on Springwood's international airport. I model the layout off Sydney Airport and follow the taxi ways and runways pretty closely. At the end of the episode I present the airlines that will be gracing Springwood's air.
In this series I will be building Springwood city in Cities Skylines. Subscribe, follow and help expand Springwood into a sprawling, vibrant region in my Let's Build Cities Skylines series.

Okay, level 127 nerdery incoming. Loving the airport so far, the general layout is very convincing, there are some minor inconsistencies however. The single most glaring one is that you wouldn't have what we call "suicide ops" if you can avoid it. Suicide ops is the traffic flow when departing and arriving aircraft are going in opposite directions. Usually traffic flow is aligned into the wind for easier operation (slower ground speed), so making all your runways be used in the same direction would make a lot of sense. Crossing runways aren't an issue in that regard, and as yours is at a 90° angle to the rest of the airport anyways you can leave that as is. Now for the runway markings, they're mostly fine apart from the numbering. As far as I can see you used 34R for all the ends, which doesn't make sense. The runway identifier always consists of two numbers and may contain a letter. The numbers indicate the magnetic heading of the runway divided by 10, meaning if the magnetic heading of your runway is 335° (as is the case at Sydney Kingsford-Smith) your identifier would be 34, rounded of course. Now the letter can be either L, R or C standing for Left, Right or Center to be able to tell parallel runways apart. Considering all that it becomes obvious that every runway at an airport will have two distinct and unique identifiers (also makes ATC instructions a lot easier to give). The pair of identifiers will always be criss-crossed for the letters and the difference of the numbers will always be 18, so for example you could have 4 runways, 16L-34R, 16C-34C, 16R-34L and 07-25. If there now was to be a fourth runway added parallel to the three existing parallels it would have to be numbered differently as the letters are exhausted, common practice is to just increase the number on either end by one so you'd end up with a runway 35-17. That principle can for example be observed at Atlanta (KATL). Sidenote; there's never a runway 00, that would always be 36, even if the compass indicates 002° if lined up with the runway. For the runway lighting, there's nothing wrong with it, it could theoretically exist like that but most likely not on a larger airport. Runway and taxiway centerline lighting is a very common technique to make operating on the airport at night and in dense fog easier. Taxiway centerline lights are colored green, runway centerline lights white with the last 3000ft alternating red and white and the last 1000ft all red. You also missed the stopbar lights which would be placed over the yellow stopbars you placed at the entries of the runways and would be steady red with a yellow alternating flash double light unit off the side, not sure if there's a prop for that, kinda doubt it. I hope this wasn't too much of a wall of text and you could pick some useful info from that, if you have any questions feel free to let me know

[@kylekyle5000]

SeaHawkGaming damn bro you were made for this video

[@cianirving3575]

Now that's a lot of damage!!!!! ...to my brain

[@jmitterii2]

An ILS runway lighting system is a like lit up Christmas tree on the runway, the approach lighting with strobe lights, the alternating yellow and red center line transition, and the touch down zone lights... then the blue edge and center green taxi way lights you can see off to the side.... I don't think Boise has green center line taxi way lights though... at least not the last time I flew which was a while ago. I don't remember them. Just the blue edge taxi way lights. My local airport, Boise Idaho has two parallel runways 10L/10R one is ILS equipped and the other runway has no precision approach equipment other than its VASI. The one lit like a Christmas tree... the other runway at night has the very minimum... and on that runway by the final round out and into the flare is like sinking into a deep abyss of darkness. The other runway is like rounding out and flaring on a lit up box store parking lot in Vegas. Localizer equipment is only for 10R... it's opposite end 28L has a less elaborate approach lighting... probably to indicate and assist with a published ILS back course procedure that is available for 28L. Landing 28L can still be fairly dark... if I recall 28L doesn't have the brilliantly lit up touch down zone lighting... or maybe that it dimmed or off that night I was flying. Anyway, I think the lighting systems at airports are pretty. All those lights ;)

What?

[@JetstreamAviation747]

Very much agree!

[@ThatBlokeWill]

Springwood Int’l Airport History: The current site of the airport used to be swamp land until 1931, when an Air Force base was erected. Over the next 20 years as the land around the base transitioned from farmland to suburbs and flighter jets became a thing, more and more people began to complain about the noise of jets overhead. The public wanted the airfield gone but the government insisted it should stay. Eventually a compromise was reached and the base would be re-purposed as a regional airport. The new airport opened in 1959 as Springwood County Regional Airport. Air travel boomed, tourism population growth skyrocketed, the government established a new airline to capitalise in their new booming industry. Springwood National Airlines was founded in 1962 with a fleet of regional planes on short haul flights. Demand for air travel didn’t slow down as government predicted and the airport went through two major upgrades; an extension to the existing terminal and a brand new international terminal to allow overseas flights and a new runway was built on reclaimed land in the sea, construction was completed in 1968. At this time Springwood National Airines re-branded as Air Springwood and ordered a new fleet of 737’s, DC-9’s, and the new long ranged DC-10. Springwood County Regional Airport also was renamed to Springwood International Airport in 1969 when Air Springwood flight 10 landed from Sydney Australia, not only was this the airlines first international flight but also the airports first as well. Over the next decade more and more jumbo jets became common place, and pretty soon those same residence who lived around the airport were back with the same problem they had before....they were not impressed. Growth slumped in the 70’s as a result of the oil crisis but kicked back into gear in the early 80’s. The government privatised Air Springwood as a result of the oil crisis as well. Which brings us to today, Springwood International Airport is loved by the city folk and hated by its surrounding residence, but in the end its a perfectly sized airport for the city of Spring wood

[@twodollarstwenty]

That Bloke Will brilliant back story!! Thank you!

[@ThatBlokeWill]

cheers mate! Sorry for calling it Springfield a couple of times XD

[@twodollarstwenty]

+That Bloke Will didn't even notice :)

[@angramainyu676]

Official Canon...

[@biponacci]

Isn’t Springwood the city, not a country?

[@giuseppeperona8036]

Just so you know, runway numbers depend on the runway's orientation, so a runway facing exactly west it's number would be 9 because it is 90 degrees from north, and one facing east would be 27 because it is at 270 degrees.

[@CUfkes]

I assume he kept the numbers from the real airport.

[@Tmeek2]

I'm pretty sure you know what you're talking about and just typed it weirdly, but here is a better explanation. Runway numbers are determined by the direction you would be landing or taking off into. The direction is determined by the degrees on a compass N - 0, 360 E - 90 S - 180 W - 270 So, if you are landing on a runway that faces direct east which is 90 degrees on a compass you would land on runway 09. or if you are taking off on a runway facing direct south (180 degrees) it would be runway 18.

[@zakyabdurrahman8491]

Also if the runways are parrallel it should've marked with the letter L,C, or R on it which represents Left,Centre, and Right. And if it have more than 3 parallel runway the runway number have to be at least 1 number different than the other runways for example like the runways in Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta Intl. Airport (KATL/ATL)

[@anthonystahl8996]

And you are the only one that cares...

[@bsquiklehausen]

Looking amazing and I'm glad I could help out with the planes! And let me set the record straight on the plane types - 737-200, 747-100, DC-10, DC-9 (late model, could also be an early MD-8x series plane).

[@joukovilander]

bsquiklehausen where are your videos maan

[@Fizwalker]

Saw this after I replied to the vid! I have a question. The DC-10 models all look very similar to each other. The only real difference is in the arrangement of the landing gear. Starting with the DC-10-30, there was an additional set of gear, like the nose wheels, centerline under the main wings. (The DC-10-30 and onwards had more fuel tanks and other equipment which made the variants heavier). Is this gear present on these models? If not, that's a DC-10-10. If it does, then it could be either a DC-10-30 or -40. As for the DC-9.... The model is too short for most of the MD-8X series other than the MD-87. (MD-8x has a weird aesthetic-- very long fuselage, wings set far to the rear just looks odd-- MD-87 was a shorter fuselage, more like the original DC-9s) However, there is another version of the DC-9 which looks like the model here and that's the Boeing 717-200 (Originally the MD-95). Anyway, the difference between the DC-9s/MD-8X and the B717-200 is in the engine nacelle visually (Prior to the 717, the series used a version of the JT-8D and they had the reversers as seen on the 737-200 in this pack) Otherwise, chances are from how it looks, it is probably a DC-9-40. Excellent pack! I really love your work.

[@bsquiklehausen]

The DC-10 does indeed have the centerline wheels, and was based off the -30. As for the DC-9, it's a bit of an amalgamation of DC-9 and MD-8x parts, though it's probably closest to the DC-9-40 or DC-9-50 (in reality, I just shrunk the fuselage of my MD-80 a bit).

[@Fizwalker]

Awesome. You know you could add the MD-80 to this pack as is and be good? Also, as an aside, have you thought about making a pack for older aircraft? Like say the early '60s?

[@bsquiklehausen]

I know - I wanted this to be completely different than the regular BPP stuff. I do want to do more vintage stuff, but in the 60s, there'd be too many propeller planes that I don't want to do until I can animate the props spinning. Next retro pack will probably be 707, 727, L-1011, and Concorde as a sort of late 70's early 80's theme.

[@BUCISS]

[@anthonystahl8996]

Nice!

[@gfv74]

That airport is a thing of beauty, as are the planes. Bravo!

[@G0ldenJack]

I have to say that your work becomes really impressive. Glad to see your city expanding! Can't wait for more!

[@twodollarstwenty]

+Adrian Polak thank you very much!

[@akatheletterj7342]

love the vibe the music gives, man. spot on. the airport is coming along really well! amazing.

[@CUfkes]

I have always wanted to make such an underpass, as we also have this at Amsterdam Airport. As for the airport i am pretty impressed with what you did given the limitations the game throws at you, so you won't hear a comment from me ;) Have worked at AmsterdamAirport for almost 10 years as a ramp agent and still miss the envirement.

[@jobvn1717]

Ik was aan t zoeken naar die ene reactie zovan: In Nederland hebben wij dit ook! found it!

[@ILoveQazaqstan]

We have one in IAH but it is slightly different

[@TheTimmyc1983]

As a fellow Sydneysider, as soon as I saw that thumb nail, I knew which airport you were basing it on!! Love it!

[@twodollarstwenty]

TheTimmyc1983 haha oh nice!

[@strictoaster]

Lovely! Also, the music is perfect. Nice find!

[@yin6287]

Strictoaster it's you

[@AccOriginal]

you're only saying that because there's a plane with your name on it :D

[@bitsbytes123]

I forgot that Strictoaster also watches videos here... Right...

[@georgeeaton11]

Strictoaster iii

[@dellyperalta9153]

Yeah

[@memedoug]

I used to drive under the airport everyday for work 😀 You replicate well

[@john-michaelburlingame323]

Loved how you used underwater roads as a guideline--what a smart and efficient way to terraform seaside areas!!! Much simpler than trying to build roads on land and then trim it back which is what I usually do. Thank you!

[@suddenshotty]

It feels like I have been there, because I theoretically have! Awesome job! One thing to change at 26:49 , Flip the direction of the landing jet and start the takeoff from the very end. From my experience, the airliners line up on the top line, waiting for others to land, then they take the runway :)

[@twodollarstwenty]

+suddenshotty thank you! Easy fix :)

[@anthonystahl8996]

See this, is a fix, that isn't, 60 degrees this 35.865 degrees here, LOL

[@bewilderedboy1]

Another top quality build. Springwood is fast becoming one of my favourite CS builds ever. And kudos to Jay - more top notch assets

[@Izmael1310]

I like the way how you made fake taxiways which are close to runway but they are not connected. When I was building my airport I was aware that planes will take the shortest route as possible but I wanted to have realistic taxiways so I made them 3 units going one way and other 3 units going the other way. But it is a lot of work and your idea is great. You simply connect taxiway to runway without really connectin it by node. Then you make only one "real-connected" taxiway from runway and you force the plane using that because it is the only one working taxiway. Very good idea I love it :) Also using pedestrian paths as service roads is also cool idea :). Concrete roads looks much much better but you have to ban the traffic on them. My recommendation for you is: make wider taxiways and probably runways too. At least the taxiways you should do. You can use pedestrian paths or ploppable pavement/asphalt or concrete brush. CSL has very narrow taxiways and runways and making them little bit wider makes it look great.

[@twodollarstwenty]

Overlord thank you, I'm glad you've noticed the things I try really hard to achieve :) I've been thinking about widening the roads and runways too. Hopefully we have room!

[@PresCities]

Incredible work! Can't wait to see how this turns out!!

[@ayoubrachidi2668]

I've loved the 80's ever since stranger things. This music is totally tubular.

[@twodollarstwenty]

ayoub rachidi glad you like it!

[@leschouxcroutes]

Holly CRAP!! I wish modern city builders would tools tools and guides so everyone would be able to come up with such awesome looking cities. But at the moment this means only one thing, the one who made this has incredible talent.

[@Essadcsk]

Nice work! Very good looking airport, especially the highway under the taxiway :) Just a side note though - the "boxes" that's spread out on the sides of the taxi/runways is actually taxi/runway signs!

[@pelleschwarzberg8848]

I thought that as well:) I hope he fixes it.

[@luschmiedt1071]

The white boxes are actually yellow on the sides and could be compared with streetsigns they are only at intersections to show the name of the crossing taxiway or runway;)

[@twodollarstwenty]

lu schmiedt thank you!

[@raferik.]

Singapore Changi Airport expressway underpass looks beautifully done too. And you can see those giant planes drive pass too

[@parisp6411]

Love how the airport design with the roads and runways is literally like that of Sydney Airport. Keep up the great work!

[@davidechevarria13]

I am!! Aviator TIP:Always bring your passport just in case if your in USA or UK or MEX

[@xnsound]

Honestly I don’t even care about accuracy it’s just really cool to see everything come together. 👌🏽

[@Elijah9201]

im triggered your using the american interstate signs but you drive on the left side xd

[@AndyAndromedaArt]

Elijah920 the use of yield. Yet we never use that here in Australia.

[@richards31415]

AndyAndromedaArt the intro uses US Interstate signage at 0:08

[@AndyAndromedaArt]

Richard S I know, I'm saying that we don't use the yield sign in Australia.

[@realadrieno]

I feel ur pain

[@beneidem369]

At 19:11, all of those "boxes" that you see on Google maps are actually airport signs, telling pilots what taxiway they are on, and which taxiway/runway intersections they are approaching. approaching. Therefore, you should only include them at taxiway/runway intersections, on the left side of the taxiway prior to the intersection. Runway edge lights should be white, spaced 200ft apart. Runway centerline stripes are 120ft long, with an 80ft gap. (Totalling 200ft) Taxiway lights (blue) don't have any definitive specification to the best of my knowledge, but are generally more frequent than the runway lights. however you're definitely using too many, especially around corners. Those red/white barricades you put on the bridge are designed to prevent jet blast from picking up debris, or flipping over cars on roads behind the aircraft. Therefore, don't place then on the bridge parallel to the taxiway. DO place them if an aircraft engines might be facing close to a road. I don't know which way "north" is in your city. I suppose you could choose any arbitrary direction, but make sure the runway numbers are in reference to the magnetic North Pole (Which may be different from the true north pole, as per lat/long coordinates). For instance, runway 34 is approximately facing 340 degrees. If you want everything to scale, those aircraft are too big given the length of the runway stripes. Whatever happens though, parallel taxiways, and runway hold short points should not protrude into the runway safety area. Since you're flying large commercial aircraft, this is about 250ft on either side of the runway. Additionally, a taxiway safety area (up to 130ft on either side of the taxiway) should be maintained. At the beginning of the episode, you mentioned runway direction. This is dependent on wind conditions. Aircraft take off and land into the wind. But this is probably a realism aspect you can ignore. You might want to search the "calm wind runway" at Sydney and use that. Finally, as you build around the airport, ensure that no obstacles penetrate a 40:1 slope (obstacle free zone) from the departure end of the runway. If an obstacle does need to penetrate this, which may be excessive for a video game, then it definitely shouldn't exceed a 20:1 slope (approx. 3 degrees) which is the standard glidepath for approaching aircraft. Those are the biggest things I saw, which is probably getting into more detail than you wanted. Any questions? Just ask!

[@aero-ow8lq]

the intro of the video really looks like the intro to a future/fan made GTA

[@michaelmasi5220]

There's no way i could do this with the amount of detail that you can. Keep up the good work man.

[@blujitsu2180]

I'm hyped beyond belief for Springwood and 80s planes and gloriousness! Loving the music, too.

[@ZanyStudios]

Those “boxes” are taxiway and runway signs indicating the runway number e.g runway 16R

[@Henrybeattie1]

Those rectangular boxes on runways are the run way number of taxiway number

[@shreksbf802]

Man that’s really realistic I live in Sydney and the dedication to this project is amazing

[@SeroqHD]

Dude, you are crazy! It looks amazing, and the amount of detail (not only in this vid) is stunning. :D

[@twodollarstwenty]

Thanks!!

[@spartan117zm]

That’s actually a perfect scale, because if you compare the scale of yours to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, NC, you’ll note that the airport itself is actually also larger in footprint than the primary downtown area of the city. So I personally think you nailed the scale. I also love how you ran the interstate under the runway/taxiway.

[@mtz21601]

Those little boxes by the runways are called Papi's they usually go at the end of runways on the landing side as they are used by pilots in clear weather to determine the glide path to the runway. Great work on the beautiful city.

[@dendenramos6574]

I hope Rockstar See This For GTA 6

[@I_hu85ghjo]

That music in the beginning made me think about gta vice city. Man... I love video games

[@explorationpod]

That Introduction is awesome … ur editing in joint to story telling is awesome .. it’s so enegaging

[@SpaceBaron]

I have not played City Skylines in several months, but watching your video, makes me feel like dusting of my copy! I design airports for Microsoft FS and I have a few tips for you. Taxiways at International airports typically have green center line lights. I don't know if you want to add those or if they are needed. The distance between lights on runways are typically 60m apart and on taxiway's they are 30m apart. Maybe this will help with frame rates? No need to change what you have now, but it may be good to remember it for a future project? Going to watch your second video now!

[@evanlemon368]

I love 80s music!! Eurythmics are the best!

[@rohan_barik]

Just found your channel and I love what you have done with your airport that is based on the Sydney Airport. Also your dedication to find the music from the 80s is much appreciated. Thank you for showing us something really great. 👌👌👌

[@Gnoccy]

I don't know if there are any models for it, but something you might want to add are VOR/DME stations. They are ground stations for navigation systems that tell approaching planes their position and distance from the runway. You can usually find them close to the runways. On the Sydney airport you can find an example here: -33.961330, 151.181457

[@Spectrumnist]

Add some tall fencing around the highway that goes under the runways, for safety issues. Thanks for the inspiration, hopefully gonna build my airport soon.

[@cool-68]

Check my airport out. My airports on the most dangerous airports list. Anyways I have a road on the side of the runway that has industrial and office buildings beside it, and an opera house opposite that Too. To qualify as a pilot at my airport you have to be the best.

[@elijaha773]

Yay, a MD-11! (Or MD-10, I can't tell)

[@petergleeson2664]

I just had to look at the thumbnail, and instantly thought of Sydney. Also, I love driving under, and there's an A380 above, gosh it's amazing. Great build once again!

[@crumbs219]

Amazing stuff can't wait to see the next episodes were you mess up the markings and stuff :) just to let you know I work at a airport so might be able to help if you have any questions

Has an airbus a380 landed there?

[@crumbs219]

Nope

[@olliemakesvideos125]

It’s funny how you work an an airport but you can’t spell... baggage handler?

[@NewToTheUS]

hey! new sub, love your attention to detail. Airport runway lights are yellow, taxiway lights are blue. The numbers in the edge of the runway are the first 2 digits of the compass heading, so you will use 34 for 340 degrees, the opposite would be 180 degrees plus or minus, so for the opposite runway of 34 would be 16. If you have parallel runways use 34 R for the right one, and 34L for the left one. If you only have one runway don't use any R or L or C. C is for the Center runway in-between the R and L. A 4th runway will have a different number, lets say 33 or 35 because the heading will be shifted. Aircraft carriers will have the 99 painted because the ships captain can rotate the ship against the wind

[@jamespaddock736]

You did very well for realism, and those white things you mentioned at 18:56 are actually signs telling pilots which taxiways and runways they’re on.

[@Robbo0269]

SKIBBITTTH?!?!

[@biponacci]

Based on DXB?

[@JamestheAviator]

Hey there, Gable markers are only required surrounding the runways, taxiways don't have them. Service roads surround the entire airport, you should be able to access any runway or taxiway without having to ask ATC to go on the taxiways and runways. There are usually aircraft tire marks on the runway just after the threshold. Both taxiways and runways have lights on the centre line (in the centre).

[@boycexie6171]

This looks amazing! My apt very close to Sydney domestic airport. Sydney Domestic airport terminal and international airport terminal are very small, very simple. When I first came to Sydney, I felt that walked out of the airport just taking a few steps. But I love this runway, I can see from my balcony to the sea over there. I look forward to all your next work.

[@gregoryglozman9948]

Taxi ways are generally closer to the runways and curve towards the runway, unless the taxiways are connecting then they do seem to go straight, and runways have little arrows on each side to dictate the direction that side of the runway allows. They also have stone or some sort of tile area at the ends of the runways called launchpads, they might hold the arrows.

[@gmfinc18]

With that music and the sound quality of the mic I was expecting a sunny weather report after the hello.

[@_Jaspy_]

The best intro in a Cities Skyline video ever!

[@johnblake4784]

Looks great. I understand what you mean by it being realistic. You can’t learn all of aviation in a few days. I’m in an aviation class now and been in it for 2 years now and I’m still learning! It looks good for how fast you learned about it.👍🏻

[@thinkaviation2231]

This is so good! Making a realistic Airport in Cities Skylines can be tricky, thanks for the help this vid provides!

[@for_uspodcast]

I love how the intro instantly took me back to 1987 lol.

[@SumoAgario]

I stopped playing Cities Skylines beacause i sucked at it and i never really got the airport right but i love watching cities and this is the best airport i have seen so far, keep up the good work!

[@alexanderernst9019]

Really excited for this project two dollars

[@TheIegend27]

Wow it’s amazing the level of detail you put into this. You are very talented at it

[@red_ashcroft]

I really admire people who work like this, so beautiful. When I play the game my city looks like a post-apocalyptic third world country.

[@austinreid3951]

Just so you know, those boxes you put down are actually Taxiway markers so pilots know which taxiway to take, so a controller can say *insert call-sign* Taxi to runway 46R via Taxiway Juliet or some such jargon. BTW, great job, Subbed

[@filipmajewski5114]

The rectangular boxes on the sides next to the taxi are signs that show what taxiway you are on and what the next one is. They are only at taxiway intersections though, so keep only the ones at intersections.

[@Bradchanson]

Beautiful airport and I love the custom plane liveries. A Pan-Am plane would really sell the 80s vibe you're going for.

[@BecauseGames]

finding good free music is one of the hardest parts of making youtube videos I feel your pain

[@stun3282]

I work at JFK airport as a pilot but I don’t care about the inaccuracies at all. It looks fine and I love it, it looks very good for your first ever airport build. Keep up the good work

In the 8th grade and already a pilot? Gg.

[@cozydebristv6927]

I love that runway bridge, I go under it on the way to krispy kremes at mascot :)

[@JayJayGamerOfficial]

I go under it to go to the cemetery

[@markkagm]

The HNL Airport layout is awesome as well

[@moonowhles7640]

No wonder that style of your airport looked familiar.. It was Sydney Airport! Nice job!

[@realboekie]

Thess rectangular boxes are used to navigate pilots through the taxiways. Just like streets, taxiways have names to but they’re named like Alpha Bravo Charlie etc.

[@NavidIsANoob]

Looks amazing. One little thing I'd change: change the direction of the two runways built over the water so the planes always take off facing the ocean instead of the city. For safety purpose and noise reduction.

The first jet is a Boeing 737-200, the most widely sold commercial jet in the world. The skinny jet is a McDonnell-Douglas MD-80, a smaller size regional jet. The three-engined jet is the McDonnell-Douglas MD-11, a real fuel guzzler but had the range to get anywhere internationally. Nowadays it's mostly used for cargo transport. The four-engined jet is the Boeing 747-200, which is widely known by the name "Jumbo Jet."

As a suggestion for the Brooklyn area. In New York, 3 of the five boroughs have their own downtown area. Brooklyn has a downtown area with some taller buildings although, if you go about remaking that area, the Brooklyn skyline is much less distinctive or as tall.

This city is beautiful. Best Cities Skylines video ever

[@melonnnnnn]

Ayyyy....Sydney. I live there!

[@reganminty3096]

this city looks like u know what ur doing im extremely impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AccOriginal]

not bad, looking good and pretty accurate for someone who claims to don't know much about airports. the only thing I would add are some PAPI lights. they're available as asset in the steam workshop.

[@twodollarstwenty]

+Acc Whatever thank you I'll look into it

[@cameraguyjp85]

Under-runway hwy design is brilliant! can't wait what you have next!

[@csmeby]

Great video! Also those white boxes are signs that say the names of the taxiway for example A16

[@Macconator2010]

Is it possible to have an eyegasm? I believe this video popped the proverbial cherry.

[@chickynuggy8150]

One of the best airport builds in cs your amazing mate

[@johno7866]

Ay mate. I’m from Sydney and the airport is big and BUSY so it would be cool if you could increase the traffic around the airport.

[@twodollarstwenty]

Hopefully as we build suburbs around the airport it gets busier :)

[@acicada1526]

What I like to call a perfectionist.

[@johannesw3017]

The boxes next to the runway you noticed on maps are signs to indicate the name of the runway or taxiway so that pilots can navigate given the instructions by the atc. Similar to street signs but for airplanes

[@leaningright4534]

That thumbnail reminds me of Sydney Airport, where you can drive under the runway and see the plane land as you drive under

[@blue5015]

First video I'm watching of yours. Always love a local youtuber

[@khailos]

I was re watching the series at 3 am except the intro music is scary when your alone in a dark room with no noises lmaooo

[@paz5791]

It's cool knowing I've been there and seeing it in game. Nice job.

[@kpen9764]

That JR commuter train triggered me hard, need some 80's theme trains. BUt bloody great series :)

[@Oldman-Havok]

The PAPI lights you placed are supposed to be Red and White. Not green. The lights help notify the pilot at what angle he is landing in. 4 red for dead, 4 white too high, 2 red 2 white.... just right. Lol. I'm an A&P Mechanic/Student. Lol

[@Oldman-Havok]

If you want more realism. Lol

[@saddisman5762]

First time coming here and I like it ... those white boxes are like "street signs" to certain taxiways so they dont need to have so much but yea still looks nice

[@mcdr15]

The opening reminds me of GTA’s opening on their games. Nicely done sir!

[@majbentsen236]

Very nice airport! But one detail you can add is blue, green or purple lights on all of the yellow lines :D

[@Wottymotty]

This is the best dam city I’ve seen I’ve gotta build something like this! Thanks for your amazing content
