You know what I appreciate about your videos? Your detailing time lapses aren't overly long. Some city skylines KZbinrs make those portions of the videos the majority of the video but you keep most of yours as a real time play. And I thank you for that. It's more enjoyable to just watch you build and talk us through it. Have a great Saturday!

[@LeeHalford]

Agreed. Biffa has a good mix of talking bits and time lapse. I mainly enjoy watching him express his confusion and get exasperated with the game jumping about, or weird bugs, or the way the citizens of his cities just doing odd things. Like ignoring roads.

[@violettiplady3113]

[@glauberglousger6643]

Interestingly, New Tealand would be quite resilient against tsunamis or rogue waves due to its outer rings of islands Of course tsunamis would still make it through due to the "wrap around" effect, And they could just go over if big enough, but still So a safe and secure city... well, except for the mystery flying rocks, but it also is in a low tsunami zone so...

You added a new bus terminal, but you already have one attached to the airport from the Airports DLC, close to the hotels. I may have missed it, but are you planning to use both terminals?

[@MilleniumLad21]

You might want to check the spawn points on your main airport building to fix that call for police. I have a feeling something is bugged there with access if you had a police department there and it still didn't resolve.

[@Peregrine101]

Emergency services and the Airport DLC are a thing of wonders. You need Emergency services everywhere, but there is no real good way to incorporate emergency services in Airport DLC airports. Although airport terminals and airplane stands can and will burn a proper airport fire service is not included into the DLC. In the end you can only let it burn or use helicopters. Biggest problem is the lack of roads and vehicles on the tarmac. A fire engine can never get to a fire on the tarmac. Police and Ambulance services are lacking, too. It would have been nice if a simple solution like there is for the bus and train services would have been in the DLC, but to this day they are not available. An opportunity for CS2 to make that happen.

[@cltIV]

@biffa you should add a weather station, disaster center and radar system to the airport area.

[@amalizard]

Hotels and plane noise. Not an issue. I’ve stayed at a hotel where it’s literally attached to the airport and my room faced the runway. That building is so soundproof. (BDL airport in Connecticut)

[@simongeard4824]

Yeah, airport hotels are *extremely* well soundproofed... in some cases they're actually part of the terminal, so that transiting passengers don't need to go through immigration. The bigger problem isn't the noise... it's that airports don't like putting tall buildings close to the flight path, so they'll usually be located well away from the runway and taxiways.

[@Symbioticism]

Teathrow looking banging: getting into the final stretch with New Tealand and it has been a great ride! Well done on an awesome build.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you :-)

[@Sysiphos81]

A bit of forrest between the hotels and the airport might work wonders regarding to noise levels

[@simongeard4824]

Yes, though airports don't much like having trees around the runway. Apart from their effect of blocking line of site, they tend to attract birds living in them, and airports go to a lot of effort to discourage birds from flying around in the path of aircraft.

[@AdamHinckley]

23:12 don't forget to fix the airport roads use the right ones, you need to use 1 way road with bus line on the right side

[@RebelPhoenix13]

That final view of the entirety of New Tealand is honestly incredible! The amount of time and effort you have put into this build is astonishing. So glad New Tealand is back!! I would love to visit and buy a New Tealand hoodie! 😉

[@srm20320]

I feel like now you have it more complete, you should shrink you're island back in a bit especially by that little helicopter bit. There is an excessive amount of green space. Other than that - love your work as usual!

[@simongeard4824]

It's not that the *green* space is excessive... it's that the empty space is excessive. Green space is important for drainage around airports, since it absorbs the water that runs off the concreted areas, preventing flooding. But you're right, the island is far bigger than it needs to be - the airport island is almost as large as the rest of the city's flat land combined, and land reclamation on that scale is expensive.

[@Antti882]

Can you connect subway from Teathrow to the space odditea metro station? It would give new tealanders a quicker commute from teathrow and the big spider subway hub. Cheers Biffa. It's always a pleasure to watch!

As always enjoyed this. Two suggestions for the next time: 1. the aviation club needs some parking spaces 2. the distribution center is really lonely, maybe put a cargo airport between it and the runway?

[@fubar4fun]

The hotels area...you have 2 way streets and a one way 1u in front of the hotels. Probably should be 2 way otherwise you have a lot of U turns at the one end. But it all looks good otherwise. Keep it up! I don't do the detail very well so learning from what I see you doing.

[@mattson2662]

I'm really enjoying this airport! Keep up the good work Biffa! I had some ideas that I'd like to share. I was thinking that at the end of the terminals where they T-off, it might be cool to have the Ultra Modern Concourse Hub. It would add some bulk to that end of the airport and make it look less thin. Another idea I had was to add a large statue in the front area with the grass. I think it would look really cool and help fill out the space. Also, I was thinking that it might be a good idea to have a fire station within the airport itself, maybe near the hangers area. After all, every airport needs a response team.

[@danielseager-smithdanzo2345]

“That looks realistic” has to be the best sentence in this video - looking at Alien Rock Park 😅🤣

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

😅

[@bossfight6125]

As a suggestion I think the terminal roads aren’t that realistic compared to Beijing Daxing Airport which you based this airport on. There should be some ellipse like terminal road layout not a triangle with extremely sharp turns into the terminal. Use google maps if you’d confused with this comment. Keep the amazing work up!

[@brendotheoffendo]

Biffa took inspiration from Beijing Daxing Airport for the terminal but has taken inspiration from Heathrow for the parking, runways, and roads.

[@BootedTech]

27:20 - With metros station, I never run a line through multiple stations, always add a new line from each station to the next dependant on distance between the them. Reduces train and people waiting count and increases drop off and pickup.

[@PerfectAlibi1]

I do believe with each transfer, a Cim is less and less likely to want to use public transportation. Which works the exact same way in real life, would you want to switch lines 20+ times or just jump into your car and get there in one go? 🤣

[@1mattwilson83]

You could have put the rocks in that triangle roadway as a monument and called the airport 'alien rock airport'

[@The2ndQuest]

I liked the spreading triangle effect you initially had with the hotels in front of the airport- but the parking and other features make more sense there. It might be worth considering extending those triangle lines beyond the airport for additional hotels or other features that could add to the "grand entrance" effect of converging towards the airport (or the reverse of all passengers being able to spread out into the greater region). Would probably have to fill in some of the land in the area to continue that, and you probably wouldn't want it to go on forever, but could make for an interesting visual. One side might be able to merge in into the outer island arc of the map. The Tealand Teathrow Tea--ramid to Transportation, if you will. ;)

[@brendotheoffendo]

A few concrete paths connecting to runways and roads, also to and around buildings add some cool extra detail. The paths will light up the edges at night.

[@LeeHalford]

Hey Biffa, love the video, but something I think you may have missed. Can you walk from the terminal to the hotel complex, or from the main road into your pedestrian area, from outside the airport, or from the terminal?

Airports don't like a lot of bushes and high grasses it gives too much cover for birds too close to the planes. They spend a lot of time and money keeping the grass well tended and low to ground. Your airport with the scrub cover and being on the water would be a bird strike derby.

Biffa, I think you need to move the Aviation Club away from the Main Runway. You wouldn't bet allowed to have anything that close in the real world. Move it down onto the reclaimed land well away from Teathrow. Also airports have perimeter fences around the for security separating "Land-side" from Air-side."

You have some fun content here. With that said, you might want to remove all the overhead power lines in side the airport proper. There is a international rule stating that there should be no tall structures within one mile of the flightpath and end of runway.

[@yungrogue]

I think there are too many tall buildings near the runway. I don't know if you're going for realism, but you don't typically see that many tall buildings near the runway especially at a busy airport. For safety reasons of course. lol

It all makes a lot of sense, the things you have build a the airport ☺ The only thing I would have tried differently, is to get rid of the criminal activities at the main hub. But I'm not sure how and whether it is possible. But what I'd like to know is; Is this affecting your airport traffic at all? It seemed so quiet. You had Heathrow up as an example, which is superbusy. I'd expect a lot more cars on the roads in your build as well.

[@PikePlays]

Great work as always sir. Whilst I like the grass triangle right at the nape of the airport. Maybe some pretty colour bushes and a model airplane on a stand in the middle? Feel like that’s prime real estate for a little jet or something to show off biff-air’s Aviation history. :-)

[@2KXMKR]

Hey Biffa. In celebration of the release of a new Zelda game why don't you take some of those rocks from Alien Rock Park and scatter them randomly miles high into the sky in one corner of the map. There are even ancient ruin assets that you can use to decorate them. I reckon the backstory will be; In ancient times the coffee traffic became so bad on the surface world that the Tea gods raised islands into the sky for all the tea drinkers to live on in peace. But then they ran out of biscuits so returned to the surface and built a kick ass metro system.

Me: "Why are you putting bus roads in there?" Biffa places Bus station. Me: "But you already have a bus terminal! It's on the other side of the concourse! Why would you not use that station; it's there, passengers can get out and unload protected by a roof and can go straight into the airport without having to worry about bad weather; unlike that station in the middle of the airport." Watching Biffa unlock the Airpot Bus Terminal's road and replace it with another; have the bus station almost full screen on the screen; no light goes on in Biffa's head. Me: "COME ON! It's right there!" :D
