I wanted to address a comment along the lines of "will you add this or that" (and it's many variants) that keeps coming up... Just want to let you know that this is only 20% finished, we are adding details in layers and each of us is focused on specific tasks so, for example, it'll take about 3 weeks before I start adding the runway markings, and another few weeks before I add the taxiway signs, and so on.

Gotta love the creative solutions to game limitations on display. Looks great.

OMG, you have set a new standard in building an airport. I had to watch this twice (and probably willl watch again). My aviation heart skipped a beat....

When you have the patience to build a 200,000 piece Lego set. Holy shit. I could not do this.

Excellent work guys! I love the "hacks" you've devised to make this thing operate in a way that meets your vision. Also the outtake at the end lol.

Holy crap, the effort, and manipulation of mechanics in this episode... absolutely amazing.

All the taxiways are insane- so are these workarounds. All that work gets rewarded in a major way, and it's not even done yet.

absolutely gorgeous. runway layout kind of reminds me of schiphol?

Taxiways look insane!

Loving the Polderbaan-like runway on the left. The overview give me a Amsterdam Schiphol Airport feel in general, as well.

I love how the planes land and take off in a realistic way during the cinematics. Sometimes it's really hard to get that to work.

As someone who works in aviation, it's so interesting to see your take on an airport. It's interesting to hear the commentary talk about what they think it should look like and how it should all fit together.

hearing that music at the beginning of each episode is a blessing, THIS IS SO GOOOD!

Holy cow, this is insane, all the tweaking with roads and path-finding for the planes and, my lord the amount of detail that you guys put into this is mindblowing! You are absolute masters of this game! Amazing! :) And I can't wait to see this grow even more and get all the details and stuff in! How do you get the patience for this? :) Also, wonderful commentary that you guys do, it's so entertaining and informative at the same time, really great stuff! Even if you're hilariously unable to coordinate hitting a spacebar... ;)

hah, that sync outtake at the end tho xD

Just started to watch this series, 10 minutes into episode one and already addicted. Probably going to watch every episode back to back. Love all you guys.

Wow. this is next level+10. 'Amazing' doesn't quite cut it, it's phenomenal what you are doing with the game. I'm looking forward to the next episode!

Absolutely incredible! Loving all of your work so far, keep it up!

All right, more amazing work!

I will just say to all three of you; I am amazed and impressed with the design, the patience, and sheer attention to detail the three of you have put into this; I myself would never be able to pull off such a feat. Fantastic work, and I hope to see more very soon.

Airport looks realistic and great. A true inspiration for Cities: Skylines players. It's amazing how much progress was achieved in just 3 episodes.

Since this vid uploaded 10 mins ago, all of the comments below me is proof that they already loved your videos and knowing that it will be great videos even before they finished watching the video.

This is totally insane, you guys are master's of your craft!

The way Strictoaster laid down the taxiways and runways is impressive: using pedestrian roads and national roads to broaden the ways, create markings and create the curves where taxiways and runways intersect . I saw other CSL airport creation videos but I prefer Strictoaster's way of doing it.

I just started watching this series, trying to get a good inspiration for my airport... I got frustrated with my thoughts of how to go through with taxiways, trucks, baggage carts, but you've even moreso expanded my ideas!! :D Imagine baggage carts for each airline with their own colors, stopping on the stands? LOVE IT! AH! Can't wait to try a small scale version first, thank you guys for this!

So cool that we're still innovating in this game

Absolutely amazing work! in three episodes you guys went from a loose assortment of props, roads and buildings to a breathtaking airport. Cant wait to see more!

I really like how you labeled the terminals and the runways and how this project is progressing, good job guys!

This is amazing... Real life taxiways dont look as good as these lol. Mindblowing!!!

32:00 Welcome to the future ;)

this is insaneeeeeeeeeee. i love this series!

Already stunning! Great work!

Thank you for putting in the plane breaking and acceleration numbers, came back just to find those!

A little late getting around to watching this. Long after this came out, "Industries" has added Cargo Airports, and it made me wonder if you were going to have any cargo, and then you mention it in this video. Another great project. So much awesomeness already, and only at part three!

Looks awesome Strict!

Amazing stuff. Let's hope CO picks up on some of the flaws and improves the plane behaviour etc. in the future.

Guys, this is so incredibly beautiful! I'm so happy, just yesterday, a few hours after you published this video, I searched for videos about building realistic airports. And this is exactly what I was searching for! This astonishing level of detail... Amazing! And it all works! Unbelievable! And all the little "hacks" to make all this possible (and as easy as possible)! Thanks for your enourmous efforts!

Amazing work so far fellas! Strict your attention to detail just blows my mind!

I hope yall realize how much I appreciate this collab

Simply brilliant! Well done Stict!

Yours are the only videos I like before watching. You guys are doing an amazing job! Cheers from Iran!

Absolutely mind blowing! this is just amazing how you do it.

This is a nice ending of my birthday thx for the nice video and inspiration keep up the voor work!!

Amazing as always

..... you 3 should work at designing real world airports.... this is by far the most elaborate, mind blowing design I have ever seen from anyone to make a Cities Skylines series...

strictoaster is amazing at building!!#STRICTOASTER!

20 HOURS?! Respect.

wow looking so good thanks guys cant wait to see more

Wtf these taxiways and runways look insane! Good job strict :)

WOW. Amazing work

brilliant discovery, strictoaster

One amazing build... Airpot is looking 👌

great video as always

Really good work looks so good

LOVE THIS!!!

Wow! Just, wow!

This is really awesome and actually looks super realistic, but I do hope you don't mind if I give a bit of advice here. It's unrealistic that even a major international terminal would have that high of a ratio of A380 and 747 aircraft (the only ones I can think of that would ever have that many together are LAX and DBX). Especially with some of those not being "real" moving parts of the game, you may want to consider switching some of the A380s with other long-haul (and more efficient) planes like the 777, 787, or A350. Just some food for thought, otherwise it's coming together really great!

wow guys, so good. amazing

Excellent!!!!

You should use O’Hare airport in Chicago for inspiration. There is a large satellite terminal, complex road system, and a lot of taxiways.

Strict i have a slogan for your airline company Strictoastair Strict on safety

u guys are sick. this looks fantastic

When will you get to the city portion?? KIDDING! This is ridiculously good stuff for C:S. Wow. Amazing job, dudes. Chicago has proposed an $8.5billion expansion of O'Hare. Not that y'all would have the time, but they should hire you guys to build the proposal in C:S to help sell the idea to the public.

I have to honestly say I'm inspired

... You know, it's stuff like this that makes me wonder whether architects actually use games for concept design. I mean, it'd be horribly inefficient, but you guys just seem to make it work, albeit very, very slowly. :'D

One note. They dont jam the brakes becuse they want to vacate early. (Well, in some cases, yes.) Almost all big airports have a specified runway occupancy time. For example San Fransisco. Arriving traffic are separated with a mimimum of 3NM. (+ wake turb. separation). In some cases, airplanes are told to vacate at a specific point. Ryanair for example uses autobrakes 3 as standard OPS at all airports.

I hate how to the planes kind of fly above the airport like flies in the game hahahaha nice airport!

Ahhhh i love the taxiways and runways they are sooooo smuuuuuuuuddd!!!!!

Dear Strict. Hi. I work at Australia's biggest airport as an avionics maintenance engineer. You should know a few things about big and medium air ports. There is an area with medium and large hangars where small FBO (fixed based operators) are at. Here companies fly business man in private jets, do maintenance or emergency air lift planes or helicopters are based. You should lay it out as 4 or five hangars with a small building attached to it. One Business jet half in a hangar and one fully in for some and some with propeller planes in them (maintenance licences are separated by jet engine and propeller engine so they are done in different hangars. Then there is a large concrete area in front of them. Cones around planes nose tail and wing tips that's mandatory. Another large concrete area for special events like diplomats that don't go into hangars and need their planes separated. (Obama is actually here right now parked outside my work, his plane parked near by and then when he got off it moved away to the special area). You will also need small roads going around the airport that looked merged into the concrete plane parking areas (as in same concrete type and the only way to know it's a road is line markings. Another hangar someone in the middle of the terminals are where airport fire department and security and safety personale are. Oh and a big side gate with a bit of road where police can stand which leads directly to to where the FBO's are for the diplomats to just rush through with a police escort. Put a plane or two where the small building that are attached to the hangar are but not all of them. That's the businessman getting on the plane to leave. Put cones around them too. Don't put messy crates like you did in senu. Airports are insanely picky about cleanliness. We had roles Royce come to do an inspection to renew our licence so we can repair their engines. They saw one washer on the floor that was it. They said they'll come tomorrow and if it's perfect they'll pass us.

My jaw is on the floor! Wow!

3:03 Jay: "Most of them!?"

I love your video's

*SUGGESTION:* Do not put buildings near the airport in your cities if you want a safer city ... Here in Brazil in the city of São Paulo we have an airport in the middle of the city (Congonhas Airport) ... On July 19, 2007 a commercial plane was to take off even with the wet track but could not rise ... The plane passed the runway and fell from the airport over an avenue and beteu in an office building ... more than 200 people died and today the place where the building was and a memorial to that remarkable day.

I made a city a while back and I layed down all the parks the unique building and the canals that I wanted to have and once I'd put a transport system in place, even with no population at all, I still had loads of tourists in my city, then once I started to grow the population the amount of tourists I was gettinjg dropped significantly

This is just AMAZING, you deserve better game to suit your creativity :D

The largest airport in the world is Chicago O’Hare with 8 runways. I think Beijing is getting an 8 runway airport and there are a few sixes around the us in Boston and Detroit I think. Denver has a big one too, six or seven. Your airport looks super inefficient on space. I think Atlanta and Chicago midway have stellar designs if you have land area in mind. Just my two cents.

Experienced today that Amsterdam-Schiphol ist the worst airport to taxi at... took us like 45 minutes.

freakin awesome

HOLY SHIT ITS AMAZING

It would be so awesome if one of you 3s decided to start a project to build a metropolis to go along with this airport!

Holy crap...the grafficks are sick

FINALY ep3

Remember to add acres and acres of parking as even smallish airports have tons and if this was real it would be among the world's biggest, probably bigger than even Heathrow and Schiphol

Gets inspired to go play Cities Skylines and oh wait only I have 8 gigs.

I guess you learned a lot about realistic airports when making Seenu, all though I question a bit an airport of this size having 4 runways, but keep it up, love the series

tx for the playlist link... i dnt know why more dnt do that...

Amazing work - looks really good guys. If you're really interested in realism, Google AC 150-5340-1L Airport Markings, and AC 150-5300-13A Airport Design.

This airport is gonna be bigger than Sydney's. Gotta be some sort of hub. America uses the hub and spoke method.

Btw YVR plus most north american Airports Have Like junkyards full of broken and old machines. YVR also has A coast guard Helicopters, hovercraft and boats And there is a outlet mall at the end of the north runway.

I'm glad I'm not an ATC at FBS

35:10 Haha 😂

WOW!

vary cool

Insane

Please incorporate a military portion in the airport as well. Pretty please

Schipol in Amsterdam has one of those runways that's waaaaaay out. Longest taxi I've ever experienced ugh

You collectively seem to roll your eyes at having to do a cargo thing with 36L and 18R. That's a huge part of any international airport. Realistically it would also connect to an outside road. I love where this is headed but I want to help in making it more natural. Check out IAH and incorporate something about my airport please!

You think taxiing in your airports is bad ? Try landing at the Polderbaan at Schiphol during rush hour traffic lmao

I love the style of the map ! Any chance to share it ? Thanks :)

Awsome project! The limited scope of focusing on just massive airport is really cool. I'm wondering how you aim to tackle the funcionality of it. Pedestrian paths/roads hidden in the terminals i suppose is one way but how do you want to connect the different terminals?
