[Robban040]

Airport is complete and work on the modern downtown part / finance district of the city is underway.



Overview of the airport area:

Quite close to the city!

Are we cleared to land yet?

Bus terminal:

This update includes a few overview shots aswell as some shots of a cargo harbor (fully functional) I added.

Some overview shots:

Old part of town with the airport in the background:

Another angle of the old town with the harbor and financial district in the background:

The harbor, wich is build on reclaimed land. The part of the map in which i build the city doesnt contain to much level ground im afraid.

The harbor is functinal thanks to Strictoaster's cargo dock.

We had to tunnel our way to get a highway connection:

Lots of activity!

One thing i really have to wotk on, and which i basicly have given zero attention is the night lightning of the city. Still looks decent though!

Heya!
Last post for this city/map.

Continued on the financial/a more modern part of town which includes a few high rise buildings, located along the river.

Overview (the area on the right hand bank of the river in the first shot):

Well, not much to say so ill just spam away with the images

The ususal railway going through a building...

Well I think thats it for this project!

Next up I want to create a big transport hub (airport/train)

Until then!

New project up and running!

By far the biggest airport I've ever created. Still aloooooong way to go but so far so good!

Basicly the airport is made up of 3 main terminals and quite a number of remote stands for the smaller aircraft.



So far I've only started detailing Terminal 1 and 2, aswell as the remote stands.

In the pic below you see Terminal 1 ( in the background and top of the image) and part of Terminal 2. Some of the remote stands can also be seen here:

Terminal 1 is mostly used for charter flights:

Terminal 2 (to the left in the shot) is used by mixed airline aswell as the main airline of the airport (SAS):

A Fokker 100 approaching the stand:

Air France A321 being pushed back from Terminal 2.

Some of the remote stands:

More updates to follow!

Heyho!

Added quite a big cargo apron to the airport (DHL being the main operator):

Im still working on the surrounding area at this part of the airport...



The main bus transit hub aswell as a taxi drop on/off. The area is connected by the monorail system.

The regional train station. Nothing fancy but it does work

I did go ahead and added two satellite terminals (as if the airport wasnt large enough haha....)

Terminal 4, one of the satellite terminals are used exclusively by North American airlines.

The other one is used by a mix of airlines:

A United 767 arriving to the gate:

Next up is the hangar/maintenance area.

Cheers!

Long time since the last post but here's a small update!


Overview of the current state:

Added a hangar area: (mainly serves the local airlines (SAS/Norwegian)

As with many of large airports nowadays, the lost cost airlines moves in. I went ahead and expanded the airport with a low cost terminal. It has it own bus terminal and can be reached with car/shuttle train and by foot.

Had to rebuild abit to facilitate the new terminal. Two seperate taxiways leads to the terminal:

Just a random shot from one of the runways!:

See ya!

Heyhey!


New airport....yet again haha...

As always, its a work in progress.



Overview. The layout is roughly based on Macau airport:

Cool place for a ATC-tower:

A custom made paring garage:

I made the aiport as an Lufthansa base:

Bus, taxi and car drop off:

The airport holds 18 gates and 22 remote stands (aswell as a number of smaller remote stands, but im too lazy to count them :-D )

Cheers!

Heya!

Overview. The apron area is almost complete. Just abit more detailing to be done:

Added a ATC-tower:

With such a large number of remote stands buses are heavily used to transport the passengers to/from the aircrafts:

The parking garage with the apron/hangar/cargo area in the background:

A Lufthansa 777-200F being prepared for departure:

To round it of, a night time shot. Still alot of work to be done regarding the lightning:

Next up is to complete the runway and to start on the cruise/ferry terminal that will be located nearby. That, and the train station will be connected to the airport via a monorail system. More on that later!

Until then!

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to St Maarten and Princess Juliana International Airport!

Lots of detailing have gone in to this. Demanding but fun! Its quite hard to find suiting buildings and google maps isnt as detailed as in other places.

KLM B747-400 from Amsterdam on short final while an Amercian B757-200 bound for Miami holding for departure.

Good view from this resort!

The cockpit view from the KLM-plane:

I found some new ground textures which i quite like alot!

Ill end with an overview shot. This is as far as i've gotten for the time being. Stay tuned for more!

Cheers!

Heyhey!

Almost complete with the airport and the area in close proximity to the airport!

Satelite picture of whats been done so far:

Quite a slow day at the ramp:

A Delta A330-300 during pushback:

American 757-200 with a Delta MD-83 in hot pursuit:

To bad there arnt any DHC-6-300 on the workshop, so had to place something similar!

Couldnt find any good terminal, but this will have to do. Not really 100%, but it is white atleast haha:

Other end of the airport:

Last on for today!

New city and a new airport.

Inspiration taken from Stockholm Bromma, although I did alter it quite alot.

Some remote stands with the terminal in the background:

A mix between old and new:

The airport is located more or less in the middle of the city, as seen in this overview shots:

A SAS A319 taking off:

The terminal. No gates, just stands where one would have to walk up to the aircraft (as in the real airport)

Last one, the approach to runway 30.

Cheers!
