Post by: sobol on October 22, 2007, 01:49:43 PM
Using the custom airport pack v.2.2 or whatever it is....


Show me some of yours..  and how did you go about building them.

I want to build a commercial airport.. with the train tracks and such...  what's the trick?


Thanks for you help...

I guess youve already looked at Sc4d's, Show us your airports thread (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=117.0).

General tips would be to check out airports on Google earth and try to recreate them, read all the readmees supplied with the packs, especially RMIP-2, take your time, airports take huge ammounts of time to build correctly. and most importantly, experiment and have fun!

Xiziz:  I did.  I don't mean by real airports, I meant by the custom airports.  What pieces should be used, and how should they be used/placed...  runways/lights/hangers and terminals...  etc.  I see planes landing and taking off, what about taxing to the terminals and hangers and such...  whats the trick?

Sobol, try taking a look at the readme included with the RMIP-2 for a detailed look at how each piece should be placed. You should also try following xiziz's advice and taking inspiration from real-world airports, this is how most of the best airports in CJs/MDs are created. A little persistence will usually pay off too  ;).
