[@archechme]

I know that this just came out but I think Paradox should do exactly the same kind of expansion with this but with power plants. I would LOVE to build a huge nuclear power plant complex with cooling towers, reactors, train connections, waste disposal etc. Then you could have one huge power plant to run an entire city. That would be astonishing.

[@Jay_Johnson]

it's the one thing SimCity 2013 had that city skylines didn't, the modular buildings stuff. You are so right I quite often drive past Ferrybridge power station on the A1 and it's the size of a small suburb not one of the pidly little power stations in game. Although they are rightly getting closed down left right and centre. they fixed industrial building scale with the industries DLC it seems like it should have been in that

[@archechme]

@@Jay_Johnson It's funny you should mention Ferrybridge because I live locally to it and saw a few of the chimneys being demolished a few years ago, my friend lives very close to it in fact! Also with industries, it was fantastic seeing so many different industries and unique factories in the game and I think power stations would be a great addition to that part of the game.

[@OculusUniversale]

I think it'll be even better if it was for a Utilities pack, where you can build your own customisable power plants, sewage treatment plants, garbage processing plants, etc. Would be cool!

[@archechme]

@@OculusUniversale Yeah you're absolutely right, like a municipal services pack.

[@Jay_Johnson]

@@OculusUniversale yeah when your cities start to get >100,000 the number of base game outlets and intakes you need is kind of ridiculous. There have been maps where I have depleted whole rivers for my city.

I wish the ability to have your own airline was progressive... Airline starts with access to only small planes, you have to make enough to add larger planes to your fleet.

[@butticorn]

I imagine it is like that in the real game, just like with factories and stuff. You start with the smaller stuff and have to unlock more. But I could be wrong

i mean its not realistic. Usually airlines just go to venture capital and other investors and just lease commercial planes

[@whateverprecisely]

Does anyone else feel that this DLC is a bit unfinished? I'm glad that you did a video on this Biffa or else I would have gotten it with way less hesitation

[@2KXMKR]

Having different length runways for different sized planes with their own dedicated taxi ways to separate them would look amazing.

[@hansblonk1465]

Biffa added a second taxi way to bypass earlier stands to improve plane flow

[@kickdowndoors]

That doesn’t really happen in real life, they just take off when they can. What would make more sense is the length of your runway dictating what size planes can land at your airport, and therefore how many passengers it serves, which would slow your growth.

[@IcyT-1734]

I secretly wish that the planes would land a little more smooth, have animations and have more sensible flight paths or something we can edit *Disclaimer* I play on console so I dont have the choice of modding

[@MrNickNick]

These airport cargo roads would also look good on a harbor / seaport imo. Gonna get it when it comes out (not just the roads, everything in it!).

[@kickdowndoors]

Would love to put these in my port, but they look too big. I’d have to remake the whole thing.

[@time_to_teaparty]

Its basically what modders already provided but better. I'm so excited for this DLC it gives me everything I wanted to design my airports like I want to. It will be really interesting to see what the community will create assets wise. That one airport design looks really similar to the old Berlin airport Tegel.

[@Svenne23]

... I miss TXL so much ... and yes! The similarity is obvious.

[@ShadowWolfTJC]

Not only would those planes within planes seem so unrealistic, but so would having more than one plane occupying the runway when at least one of them is landing, since that would create the unacceptable risk of planes landing on the runway colliding with other planes, especially in bad weather. (Having multiple planes occupying a single runway isn't so unrealistic if ALL of the planes on that runway were taking off.) To make this airport seem more realistic, perhaps designers could have multiple runways that are landing only, with taxiways only exiting the runway, and at least one runway that's takeoff only, with taxiways only entering the runway?

[@SeraphimKnight]

The animation for the articulate bus it definitely... rough.

[@bradlovin1]

I can't believe they didn't add a control tower radio station. Please modders correct this oversight. the ability to add short audio clips from captain to the tower and passengers, once we get our own airlines would be awesome. Would have sold me instantly on the dlc if it came with this.

Hey Biffa! Been watching you‘re videos on a quite a binge recently. One thing I like with the newer ones is your music choice.

the airport construction is really nice. the A.I of planes is just utter garbage, I currently have multiples of the different stands on my airport. only one set of them is used by the planes and rest is being queued. also the planes do a kamikaze turn after takeoff, (180 degrees backwards, moves back 2 tiles, 180 back forwards again). In my opinion: the buggiest DLC so far

[@michaelw6222]

For those that didn't read the dev's diaries, a cargo plane's stand is preassigned (at or before landing?). As such, there may already be planes queueing for that spot, hence the back up we initially saw in Biffa's video. You can see Biffa's fix for this at the very end of the vid (slip/bypass taxiways). Be sure to do something similar to prevent traffic jams on your tarmac.

[@cykoop194]

Thank you for this presentation. The design of the airport museum is a little bit strange with air plane in the door. :-D But I like the new DLC and the CCP. I think with the DLCs they make parts of the game more realistic. The update of the street trees and the vehicle selection are a great ideas too.

[@LiqdPT]

I've seen several air museums look like that. Evergreen Air Museum has a 747 on the roof...

[@noahkohn9350]

I bet you could use Biffa’s trick for making city-wide universities for the airports as well, allowing for multiple locations across the city, all linked together in one zone, to create a unified “airport authority/” This would eliminate the need for passengers having to travel across the city to get to the airport, but still allow for the whole system to level up more quickly.

Hooray, I finally can change service vehicles appearance from their building, a very pleasant surprise! Super happy that I can make them all custom assets, and change them depending on the area. Will fit in nicely with Ryuichi Kaminogi's content pack, I can now have dedicated custom Japanese assets come out of the hospital or garbage facility and be more immersed in the game. I just hope the update doesn't break mods!

[@erikaverink8418]

As far as i know, the most popular mods (modders) have early access so they can update the mods, and of course there will be broken mods. I also would like to see an option (as stellaris has) to have an option to select the mods (assets) you want to use at the start. Like for example, 81 tiles, tmpe and planning roads, and don't forget camera view as a first person in a car or on a bike. Instead of adding or removing things every time. Like for you to ad a Japanese building theme with all the assets to it, and another game can have another asset park. I hope you get the idea.

[@missunnaturally]

whre is the link to maps content and vehicle content dlc?

[@Anarkey]

I hope in a future update, they add a separate rail line like a monorail for travel between terminals as well as airport malls. I'm loving the concourse because for international airports, they have main concourses that split into secondary ones. This opens up city building all over the map, with smaller towns having domestic airports that can serve the main city with its international airport as the main hub.

It's kind of lame that all of the wing lights on all of the airplanes blink at the exact same interval.

It's similar in construction to the Industries/Park Life/Campus approach, but with transportation at the forefront. A great move, and I think this might seal the series; where could they possibly go from here? All-in-all a great add-on to an already amazing game.

[@Baachus2012]

I bought all the new DLC and the Maps are amazing. There is one by the name of Farmlands and it is my new favorite. Surprisingly nice looking scenery with squared off areas bordered by trees and fairly flat. Those squared off sections are rich in resources as well for industrial use, like whole mape squares of just ore, oil, and fertile ground. I had made millions in my first hour of building on it.

[@maxwellbritman]

For those who may not know, the 2 thick white lines (not the chevron style) at the beginning of the runway are the plane recommended landing zones, so planes will land from that end. Many runways can be landed on in both directions so you will see these white landing zones on both ends. Would be interesting to see Biffa build a bi-directional landing runway.

[@dbclass4075]

I am not sure. Runways and taxiways seemed to be hard-coded to be one-way. Already had been on pre-Airports DLC airports.

[@ProfessorDenn]

I'm into this aesthetically. The modular terminal stuff is super sharp and is way less cartoony than much of the vanilla assets, and I very much enjoy that. Kerbal Space Program eventually made a transition from the early exaggerated assets to more of a realism focus, and I would like Cities Skylines to do the same. I don't need novelty donut or spray can trucks filling my city.

And what is going to happen with all the CS1 assets both by CO and in the workshop?

[@DantesGrill]

This is such a huge update! The airports in the base game are so boring and it feels like whenever I add one it's just there. Don't know what else to do with it.

Question? If you're able to build large runways, does that open up landing of space shuttle type craft? If not, it kind of defeats the whole purpose of being able to build runways that long (as the old Airports' runways are pretty standard size).

[@kickdowndoors]

Those runways are tiny. You would struggle to land a Cessna 152 on those let alone a jumbo jet. The length on Biffa’s is to my eye about the same as a private airfield. For comparison, the runways at Heathrow are about the size of two tiles (4000m)
