Well, time I showed the general public what I'm working on and what has taken much of my time lately. Do you all remember Fatsuhuno's variable height terminals (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=6172.0)? Well, I've decided to revive that project, but to my liking. Edit 5/9/10. New pieces have been added but the old ones have been discarded.

Very nice. Can't wait to see more &apls
Yeeh!! new terminals in project :)!
like mikeseith, I can't wait to see more!
I'm glad you guys like it. :) That really helps let me know that this will come out AMAZING. Obviously, as my first real BAT done by myself, it will move slowly until textures are created. Then, things will REALLY take off! (no pun intended $%Grinno$%) Time for some more! I have temporarily removed the roof and windows so you guys can see the detail going into the model. ;) Hope you all like it!
Alex
Edit 5/9/10. New pieces to be added very soon. Be on the lookout.
I think with textures, it will be amazing! &apls
I'm now already a fan of your work! :)
But I saw on the roof that the poles are a standing a bit different, but I think you can change that ;)
b.t.w, what kind of terminal-types are you going to show us?
like:
Diagonals, Entrances, gates, fillers?
wish you all the best, -Giel
Great job!

The piling and the floor are the exact same color, so they show up as a single color and the other piling is a different color, but they are the exact same height. ;) Entrances and diags will be implemented later. As for filler, they are easy and can be the last. ;) Gates are already attached to the aircraft and do not need to be on the terminal, although a practical piece for a gate lot (because it would show up on glass instead of the actual wall), is being worked on.
@Strucka: Thanks!
Some more progress...
A skylight! Some still still needs to be cut down to size, etc, but its coming along. :)
Edit 5/9/10. New pieces to be added soon.
Ok thanks for the information ;)
Nice one again !

Its time for texturing!
Alex
Edit 5/9/10. Some coming soon.
Wow! Great work! I cannot wait for it :thumbsup:
@Delta: Thanks. :)
Well, everyone, I have gotten done texturing things, which should make things a bit easier. Now onto ends, ones with connections to the ground, transition to underground pieces (In case you want these to go under a taxiway, you can have a smoothe transition. Something I have always wanted), diags (which I will need to learn), curves (hopefully), and of course the 90 degree turns. I have no clue about ground to terminal areas, but I (literally just now) came up with an idea on how they will look. :)
Alex
The render you are showing is a bit of isn't it? It shows sunlight from the parts where another piece will be, but blocks the sun at the glass roof. Maybe you should turn off the sun or something.
@Strucka: Ah yes, I should.
@Everyone: The diagonal peices will be eliminated because they seem impractical and time costly in my opinion. Also there will be no 2 edged piece because it is also impractical to have just a 1x1 terminal that is 2 floors. I will maybe revisit this set later in the future to include diagonals.
Wow, excellent progress in here.
May I post another terminal part request? Most terminals have jetways like they're are already BATted by the AC team and the the SCAG. But many modern airport terminals have extra walkway transitions between the terminal or concourse building and the jetways, which are currently missing in Sim City. In most cases you can find airport roads between. I'll post two pics to show you what I'm talking about. In some cases there are even two walkways (one of them is aslope connecting the walkway with another level of the terminal) to seperate departing and arriving passengers. I believe BATting something like this shouldn't be too difficult to you (as it wasn't to me, I would have BATted it yet), but would be a very realistic and essential addition to make our airports look perfect.
Here are some pictures:

About time to get back on track!
The pieces featured here are just modelled, not textured. And they are the blank-roof ones. Not the roof junks.
These following pieces will be on the side of the terminal facing parking lots, wilderness, roads, etc with a blank wall.

Terminal pickup area? You don't know how much I wanted those.
Is there a chance of lots that accommodate elevated rail/monorail going over the terminals?
Nice work here, Alex.
Things are looking very good, I only have one wish... a Luggage terminal, for the baggage carts to unload. Similar to your under-terminal gate, I guess.
It'd probably need to be a single plop at about 2x3 tiles... I know it'd add a little more realism!
Thanks,
Adrian.
Yeah! amazing :D
Giel :thumbsup:
Nice Terminals! Would be nice if you could make some roadside entraces with jobs... I think this would be ralistic as thousands of people work at an airport :D Also the airport would look busy as traffic would drive to the airport :)
Emgmod: Me too.Yes, there is a chance for heavy rail/monorail. Especially since the terminal is low enough for them.
Adrian: Very good idea! I will for sure.
Gilikov: Thanks!
Delta: Nice idea. I will implement about 50 jobs (or less/more) in a certain lot to be plopped only along the roads, such as the terminal wall, and the terminal entrances. There will be two lots of each, one with jobs, one without. ;)
Thanks for all your comments everyone! Here is a mockup of what Adrian requested...

thx. :)
Wow, big interest. Well, The jetways are more attached to the plane model than the terminal model, while the jetways can theoretically look like they are atached, they will not functiion properly, or look proper. The severely long jetways like in your first picture are not totally needed. If you look closer, the building is long enough to accompany a closer jetway, but not large enough to apply it. In short, part of that terminal is (from what it looks like), older than the rest and the rest is built on top of the structure. That is a very special case and really doesnt apply to SC4, why have to make room for a longer jetway if you have that room to put in a terminal, or a bus service like most International Airports? that picture is just a special place the airport used for overexpansion.
To your second question, those will be, sort of, included. Sort of meaning this is meant to be a modular pack. I will try to incorporate something of this design (maybe simpler?), but as of now, that piece is yet to exist in my set because I need to figure out a way for that to work. I might contact the NAM team for help on that note. They seem to be masters at flyover ramps, etc. Because that seems to be the case. Also, if this happens like you are describing, there will not be curves, only straits, and maybe sharp 90 degree turns if it is worth the effort of making.
QuoteSort of meaning this is meant to be a modular pack.
Again this comes to mind, which means ther will be the basics included and it is up to you for creativity in it. For example, I made a cruise terminal out of the AC Terminals. Ingenuity is the key in most of SC4.
Hope this answers your question, thanks for taking interest!
Alex
ok, :)
I'm sorry, but I have one more question :) Can you include in your pack the airport railway? smth like Singapore International Airport: http://www.flickr.com/photos/c-j-b/sets/72157612966936674/detail/ , or Hong Kong International Airport:

Oh, you can currently do that with the taxiway pieces you know. Otherwise you must contact the creator of the set you are using for a request. But back to the taxiway pieces you can easily do that right now with current pieces as illustrated in this picture:
