Introduction

We are the premier modders of SimCity 4 aviation content, offering realistic Airports and Aircraft for casual and serious players alike. Whether you want a simple functional heliport, a rural airfield, or a custom-built mega hub, AC Team has the Lots to make it happen.



Why Custom Airports?

The airports which shipped with the game are, frankly, uninspired designs. They're uneconomical, and develop high crime and pollution. Their sole positive effect, commercial CAP relief, is easily acheived by other means. These shortcomings create a need for more aesthetic and realistic airports -- air transport which players can be proud to show off, rather than ignore.

Two approaches to the solution have emerged: functional single lots, and modular sets.




Modular Sets   (Puzzle Pieces)

This format was the first alternative developed, and it's still in development today. The earliest airport set, by Joerg, featured functional terminals (made from re-lotted maxis buildings) and some basic pavement tiles. This was upgraded by Thalassicus (2004), and later SimWings (2005) to form SWAP 2.2 including airport service buildings, parking, control towers, and a basic set of BATed terminals.

RMIP and RMIP-2 by Voltaire (2005-07) filled the need for a flexible, high-detail pavement set. With over 300 lots in six volumes, RMIP is still the standard for serious airport builders. RMIP-2 introduced navigation aids, accurate airfield lighting & signage, marked aircraft parking, and U-Drive-It compatibility.

ACE Modular Airports (2006), and ACB-VLT Terminals & Jets Series 1 (2007) introduced complex, W2W modular terminals. Three unique exterior styles, by Ace_bovenopdeberg, can be used to construct orthogonal, diagonal, and fractional-angle concourses.

The ACAircraft project currently underway aims to develop a complete range of aircraft suitable for any size airport. The project has grown so large it has its own section below, with lists & linked illustrations. Future additions will provide an even larger variety of airlines.

We are renewing our pavement systems with the RMIP-3 and ntRMIP projects. These will provide players with all-new concrete runways, diagonal runways, navaids, and more.




Functional Single Lots   (Prefabs)

The early airport modulars (as noted above) did contain functional parts... however it was discovered they caused problems. Out of caution, development of functional sets stopped, leaving only the original RH Airport terminals. This changed in 2008, when Swamper77 and RippleJet solved port modding for good.

Now, all early-build terminals have been skillfully re-modded for stability, and combined with new projects, to form AC Functional Airports. The current version 2.0 features a wide range of styles -- airport shuttles, urban heliports, seaplane docks, and cargo centers.

In January 2009, our superior set of single-lot airports, AC Functional PreFabs, was released. They are the first true replacement of the default airports, offering incredible visual improvements, easier upgrades, and re-tuned functional properties.

Functional Airports and Cargo Centers

AC Functional Airports
BSC Functional Seaports

The "PreFabs" shown below were released in January 2009, as the newest part of AC Functional Airports. They are the first complete alternative to the game's original, default airports.




Be advised, there are many dependencies for Functional packs, because many people contributed to them over time. The lot creators and BATers have spent thousands of hours making these airports and cargo centers! You can spend a few minutes getting dependency files squared away. The time invested will be worth it.




Modular Sets

Custom modular airports can be the centerpiece of your city or region view. We pack our lots with plenty of small detail, while maintaining an authentic long-distance appearance. As a result they will provide excellent photo opportunities at any zoom level, day or night. The vast majority of modular pieces are "eye candy", which do nothing (except look fabulous).

You'll need one of the AC Functional Airports (for example, muzzy's ATC Tower) to enable airport capacity -- modular sets don't include functional buildings. Be warned that a good custom modular requires forethought and patience to construct -- prepare to spend 10 hours on a large-tile layout.

We prefer airports as a going concern, rather than just a drain on city finances. Costs of the pavement system can be offset with income from ACAircraft gates. A properly designed custom airport will pay for itself, or even generate a profit.
