    Wow, great airport. I love the realism :sneaky: Yet missing the start of the runway might be quite devastating! :eek:
    I wonder how you were able to place that concrete extension beyond the coastline (at the edge of the runway). I do not think, I have ever seen such a mod, of course it might be very likely that I might have missed it.

    I'm back to the competition after a trip and I just modified the passenger-and freight railway station at the airport!
    I break the station into two parts: freight and passenger.
    The freight part looks like this:
    upload_2018-6-5_18-2-44.jpeg
    I have done some research and find out that most of the freight stations use cranes to transport containers to a container pack and then a truck transports containers to the freight terminal, so I use this design in my own custom freight station.
    And here is the passenger part.
    upload_2018-6-5_18-5-27.jpeg
    The last design is pretty inconvenient for the passengers, and this design fixes this problem. It has a passenger connection to the parking garage and the garage has another connection to the airport terminal. The two close-up shots shows the two connections.
    upload_2018-6-5_18-9-54.jpeg
    upload_2018-6-5_18-10-0.jpeg
    Can anyone refine the design even further? Please tell me if you can! Thanks!

    Nice improvement!

    However, to be honest your freight terminal still doesnt look realistic at all. I mean, you should consider creating some open space at the end tracks of the railroads to store the freight that is supposed to be transported to the terminals. In your design, the tracks come to an abrupt end, and there is no vehicle to complete the transfer process. So, you can try creating some space with manually placing some sort of storage and transportation buildings, vehicles, etc.

    :D Yes! We, at the city, are organizing a special course for pilots called "How to land in that dreadful airport and live to tell the story" :p
    Thank you for your review...

    I used the water roads to build a kind of mold. Then simply filled it with concrete. Like we all do to build custom plazas...

    ¡Saludos! :xllove:

    I found out that the end of a freight terminal is usually designed like this, so I'm going to imitate. Is there any props that can place containers one at a time?

    I found some better package storage in the warehouse mods and then overhauled the freight station. It now looks like this:
    upload_2018-6-12_18-19-13.jpeg
    upload_2018-6-12_18-19-31.jpeg
    And the passenger station is right next to the terminal.

    Personally, I think that it's much better than before.

    But you still have enough pictures to insert, not? Maybe edit them a bit such that the empty parts may nit be noticed that much. But I still think you have high chances ;)

    Some progress of this friday night:
    A full school, spanning from 1st grade to 12th. Half of Huiyuan's schooling population is inside it during weekdays.
    upload_2018-6-23_0-15-57.jpeg
    Two views of the central town:
    upload_2018-6-23_0-17-8.jpeg
    upload_2018-6-23_0-17-17.jpeg
    And finally, my whole project. Half of the map is empty, but at the tip of the land stretching into the lake there will be a scenery park. It just consists of bike lanes and trees, so it's simple to make.
    upload_2018-6-23_0-19-2.jpeg
    Disclosing my final 10-picture plan:
    1 for industrial area at the north;
    1 for the port area;
    2 for old town area, one showing buildings, one showing railway system;
    3 for new town area, one showing CBD, one showing central station, the final one showing the school and the residentials;
    1 for the mountain park, called Lake Tip National Park;
    2 for airport, one showing the overall plan and the other showing the passenger and freight stations.
    Hope you guys enjoy it!
