Jiggly Wiggly for an alternative.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Winky Wonky for a second alternative.

[@ramont8020]

You could probably save yourself a lot of pain by joining those 4 one-way tracks into a single 2-way once they exit the underground tunnel and that should simplify your junction by halving the connections.

[@colcester]

That rail junction for cargo is a mess!! If you think about it you already have two lines going in & out of those tunnels, simply send one track in one direction to join the mainline and the other in the opposite direction to do the same, you can replicate this with the inbound lines to the cargo hub to, a split approach. In the middle, cross the lines via a bridge or tunnel. Job done!!

[@spriteSC2]

It used to be the Forest Airport, now it's the DeForest Kelley airport. ;)

[@Voxination]

Good luck with taxiways going through aircraft stands Biffa, they have habit of waiting for the plane waiting in stands to taxi out rather than pushing through the taxiway and create taxiway jams most of time.

[@pepseas8266]

I think you should add some parkings around the main entrance. Can't wait for the next videos. Thank you

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Good idea!

[@faridfereidoony227]

Yes Exactly! I wanted to see that too, like one branch of main road goes to a giant parking area.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Definitely some parking decks! A.k.a. multi-storey car parks.

[@stevieinselby]

The airport hotel sits in the middle of its plot, but there is parking on one side and green space on the other, which is why it looks unbalanced and off-centre.

[@vdubboy85225]

I think you did a great job with it being vanilla. I know I couldn't get anywhere near that myself. Great job ❤

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you! 😄

[@kaltaron1284]

I think chat wanted you to create a whole new artificial island but using a field in the middle of nowhere works as well. I was a bit surprised you did the cargo roads before the tracks as those are more... delicate. Honestly I would have ripped out most of the existing ones but your solution looks deliciously chaotic.

[@TheSpangster]

I think you should have made the one way loops in opposite directions to each other so the trains can choose which they want and come out to the other side. It would also have made the entrances and exits a lot easier.

[@s_k.99]

Hey biffa just a little tip you only find one control tower no matter how big the airport is, you don’t want two controllers giving different instructions to the same plane 😂

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I like symmetry 😁👍

[@OCinneide]

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Some airports have a new control tower but they also leave the old control tower standing. So they have the appearance of two control towers.

[@probablyjay3449]

@s_k.99 actually no, larger airports often have more than 1 control towers for different runway confirgurations, the more striking thing that instantly comes across as "wrong" to me is the fact that the parallel runways are taking off and landing in opposite directions, which never happens

[@probablyjay3449]

@@OCinneide that also depends, in the situation you are describing, assuming the "old" one you stating are out of use, it may serve either as a backup or just leave it standing like you are suggesting

[@OCinneide]

[@stevengalloway8052]

Love the layout of the airport, Biffa! 👍 Tell me: do you feel as if you're going down in being challenged playing C:S 1, as opposed to being challenged in playing C:S 2, where it seems harder? 😏

[@bobblebardsley]

Nice build, needs about 5,000 car park spaces but other than that, good use of space and I like the spaghetti rail junction! (They do look like that sometimes irl, it's a shame they tend to get clogged up in CS. Hopefully one thing that's improved in CS2. ACTUALLY when the time comes, it would be cool to see a video testing things like that, common traffic/rail/routing problems in CS, to see if they're still a problem in CS2.)

[@devononair]

Wow, that old factory is in a dangerous place. If a plane has trouble landing and goes off the grass, it would obliterate everyone onboard. Luckily, planes within the game fly absolutely perfectly with a 100% safety record.

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

I was almost scratching my head at the train rails at the airport until a cargo train went thru and then it made perfect sense! Good job on you Biffa 🤩 Great build!

[@edwardmiessner6502]

This is a very nice build, Biffa! (Well, the railway approaches to the cargo terminal are a bit winky wonky.) Your Kelly Airport seems to me a lot more spacious than City Planner Plays' Mulligan International Airport in Verde Beach, and that's double plus good in my book!

[@sadbear101]

Airport looks great, but you might want a road or two from your bypass into the main city? The only way to the airport from the middle is driving to either end to reach the bypass? I think?

[@mies1mies]

Replace the cargo airport train station fore the normal cargo train station, because the cargo airport train station is broken. If you have a cargo airport train station the trucks will not use the normal cargo train station

[@OlcayKaraday]

Here Biffa don't have a normal road connection to airport train station. So, trucks cannot spawn from/go to there unless they want to use air traffic. This is the only correct usage of that station, imo.

[@mies1mies]

@@OlcayKaraday they can come frome the city to the cargo airport train station if the trucks go tru the large building infront of the airplane stands

[@ramont8020]

Can't say I have that problem in my game (no mods.) Plenty of other issues with cargo distribution though!

[@OlcayKaraday]

@@mies1mies no they are not. At least in my experience. In my city, trucks don't drive through the airport building to go to train station. Even garbage trucks don't come to train station, I had to build one recycling center inside the airport area :D

[@gettingout3172]

Typically a runway is bidirectional based on the wind at the time. You also see multiple runways running different directions on an airport for when the wind changes direction. All of this because airplanes take off and land into the wind.

[@Finleymcg]

Due to his love of symmetry, Biffa tends to run two runways in parallel as single use items. Likewise, I don't think the game can support crossing runways or aircraft crossing from one runway to another.

[@inyobill]

04:07: When redoing that intersection, consider branching the bypass road off of the new main route after the hill. THis will add minimal length and will respect the terrain better. I would have considered bridging the train line under the landing strip, ala LAX over Sepulveda Blvd.

[@greenfrog8871]

37:40 rail right away is priority & is usually flat with the cars going under the tracks. Guarantees overhead clearance for the trains.

[@Stant123]

41:36 I nominate calling that unnecessarily complex and confusing train wye the "Hugo, wye?"

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Nice 🤣

[@akawo1f878]

Hey biffa, You shouldn't have one runway for landing and one for taking off. Because they technically should be going in the same direction. You don't want taking off aircraft going straight towards landing ones. Very dangerous. So for some realism, I think you should connect. The runways on Both sides and Allow the airplanes to use both. For landing and taking off in the same direction. 12:00 I love the design of the airport but I think next time you build one. You should have the Crescent flipped. It allows the airplanes to have more space on the outside and the road to be less spread out on the inside. Like Sea-Tac Airport near Seattle. 6:00 Love the videos and can't wait for cites 2. Keep up the good work!!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Not according to the pilot who commented below 🤣

[@akawo1f878]

​​@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylinesI'm a pilot too, that's loves studying airport layouts, so that's kinda funny. Either way, just some tips.

[@candiedskull9841]

As messy as the railroad junction is, it's quite satisfying seeing it work

[@unclemikeyplays]

22:44 I'm thinking that airport loop road would be a great place for an airport tram to bring people around to the metro and the hotels and stuff!

[@gustavsvensson1944]

Great content as always mate! So excited for CS2!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Same here!

[@takumi2023]

your best bet is to put the road on the ground and rejig the whole train line in that area. (you can put the bridge back up after the trainlines has been built.) the one thing screwing you right now is the giant curve around the rock. if you move it behind the rock you'd have a little more space and should give you some interesting design. (with the airport cargo trains).

[@MarcPi]

The train intersection is sooo unrealistic, but looks fun. With a bit of thought we can make a train-a-bout

[@drworm73]

That cargo rail junction is absurd, but given the space and the fact that it's a game you did quite well.

[@peterboyall3506]

That rail work at the end was pretty impressive, I know i'd give up as soon as I started, and it looked pretty neat for how complicated it was, pat on the back time.

[@mattheweble5550]

I think that train line at the end of the runway should go underground and then come up at the airport station. One, I agree with you...I wouldn't want to ride that train...it'd be a little scary....but two, I think for the safety value. I mean the planes in the game will never go out of control, but if you roleplay it it puts passengers on a train at risk if a plan were to lose it's brakes and keep going. I mean, if you know who Fluffy is(Gabriel Iglesias), this happened to him...granted, he was on a private jet.

[@guitarbrad]

Airport is so nice! Good location, access for all, etc, etc. BUT... got enough train lines??? LOL

[@thesunnynationg]

22:55 another windy path to the top would look great

[@SIG442]

Why not a double roundabout for the trains? I mean one above the other. These need to be huge, true. But it will give trains the ability to go where they need without causing trouble to each other in theory. One being hooked up to the passenger terminals, the other for cargo. It might help the situation, it might also fail. But it might be at least a interesting idea to try out.

[@maloneyf89]

I like how you have access coming into the airport that bypasses the terminal. When you go to the airport, you have to enter through a terminal (where ticketing and security is) and then go to a concourse. But you have metro and train going straight to concourses 😂 FREE FLIGHTS FOR EVERYONE!

[@МаксимСтепанов-м6ч]

As a rail fan, I officially say: this rail "junction" makes me cry

[@bigfatbearhouse2284]

Hey biffa, can you give “I don’t care ville” a little love. It seemed like a one off to get to a milestone but now sticks out as something with a wildly different quality.

[@tigonologdring9189]

The gravel paths around the taxiways... use the paved paths with no decorations and you get even better results (see Imperatur's vanilla airports for example) But the rail... um... yeah, mad as usual, but entertaining.

[@Thaytor]

De-Forrest - Kelly No "Bones" about it, is funny. I am Green with envy here. Also Just think how much easier it would have been if Trains and road cargo were switched in their placement on the cargo side of the airport.

[@fubuki7185]

You could try going over the top and hook into the other side in the middle of the train junction, it should give you the space to have both go in opposite directions more smoothly

[@ArnoModelstate]

36:33 I wonder if it would've just connected to that road and the cardo would go in between to the plane section ? Would also line up very nice with the rail.

[@black_twitchie]

20:41 Not a big deal but I believe your metro loop is marked the wrong way round with CW and CCW. 🔄

[@cheetahrunout]

I love how I can turn up at the airport with my car and just park it at the runway or something. No idea what is missing there. 😂

[@zezoo2107]

I’d would add 2 Count them 2 More airstrips for landing and takeoff to help deal with the air traffic And more cargo spaces for planes

[@Jim.Hummel]

You pulled off a miracle! I didn't think you would make all those connections in such a tight place!! Could you name it Green Tea Spaghetti Junction ???

[@LiqdPT]

15:35 so, one runway is for takeoffs and the other for landings?

[@alkaliwreck2474]

Paint the aircraft black and put a yellow light on top because those taxi times be cray.

[@jokeboy146]

This train junction is the most insane thing I’ve seen today 😂😂

[@tonyschulz3558]

39:56 why not have one of the two connections to the mainline run under the mainline and subsequent connecting loop to ensure better transit of trains from the cargo hub

[@quoniam426]

Biffa, cancel most of the return stops of the metro line and close the loop, then create a loop on the other way. A train station not hooking to the front of the airport is a grave mistake. (the game doesn't care but we realistically do care...) For someone who has mastered the game so much, those airport connections might be the worst you ever made. Might I suggest you scrap the whole thing and start anew?

[@Scorch0313]

The hill in the middle of the bypass highway should stay. Use it as a natural feature and tunnel through it to create an interchange.

[@Justitius92]

Would a train roundabout work to simplify the junctions? Or maybe have one CW one-way loop and a CCW loop so you're not forcing all trains to approach from the same direction?

[@MrMcMuffinJr1999]

There should be multiple taxi way exits for the runway. That way something like a GA aircraft doesn’t have to roll to the end or turn around to exit the runway

[@Gibboh]

Put another lane in make it a gigantic airport so much space used by taxiways, get another strip in. Otherwise another ace episode!

[@ShaunSandilands80]

[@AdamHinckley]

32:26 you put two stops on the same side, like the yellow metro line

[@jaywatson4196]

Biffa I think you're awesome! But runways should always face the same direction, planes always take off / land in the same direction. Much love!

[@LiqdPT]

I don't think that's true. Or, at the very least, sometimes runways face in different directions. It might be that PARALLEL runways are always used in the same direction.

[@simongeard4824]

To be specific, planes always take off and land into the wind - so if an airport has multiple runways facing the same direction, planes will not take off and land in different directions (unless your local wind conditions are very strange). And although the game doesn't simulate this, runways and taxiways are not unidirectional... planes may take off and land in either direction depending on the wind, and the direction of taxiways will adjust to cater for that.

[@midgetplays6783]

[@ravenbathory9471]

I've always, no matter how many skylines videos I watch, felt like it's strange to have multiple runways running in parallel to each other. They should be pointing in different directions to account for wind direction and therefore look more realistic

[@ravenbathory9471]

I do love your content tho Biff, keep up the awesome work

[@snellavision]
