Airports: What's your secret?

[sobol]

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.

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  .
