Add Apron TaxiwayTextures for realism

[DeeJayBro]

This looks great!

[Thorozar]

Looks awesome! I am always thankful how well you guys respond to the community. No doubt this game will be a lot of fun when it is released.

[Sherk6737]

Improved AI routing?

[CodyTheLion]

Sweet! That looks very realistic. Just hope the airplanes not are too wide, feels like the wingtips might collide if there is one airplane on each taxiway

Looks great Fredrik - to be hyper critical should the “T-Junctions” also have lines to continue straight ahead as well as for turning into the stands? But it honestly looks fantastic.

[DavidMarlor]

You guys are awesome. That is exactly what I was looking for.

WOW

heavly breathing

[Ben]

Wow! Looks great!

[JoninKDEN]

I think David earned a designer credit eh @Fredrik? haha

[Malcolm]

Is she single? Because damm she looks great! (talking about the apron)

In continuation of above,
Any chance to choose which runway planes land on and which gate they taxi to?

For example, the airport may run more smootly when big planes land on runway 09 and taxi to Gate A06, while smaller planes land on runway 18 ant taxi to gates A01 to A05 (Arbitrary numbers for this example, but you get the idea. Depends a lot on queue size, distance for baggage travel, etc)

For now, no, and most likely not in the near future either. It’s always difficult to draw the line somewhere but I think it’s important to remember that the game is called Airport CEO and not ATCT Simulator 2017.

I completely understand your point, however 1 small request:

When we open up the runway panel, can we choose runway assignments (GA, Passenger, Freight) like we do for stands?

Say I want to have a separate runway for GA while my main runway handles passenger and freight.

[Fredrik]

Yes, this is added as a task so we will look at this before release.I agree, it is important for airport operation planning.

The OCD in me says your stands on the right should be 1 lower…

Negative, stands are placed correctly but I guess stand’s itself is not symmetric.

[Fredrik]

There is a small design problem. The small stands are 5 squares in width meaning the middle square (3) can be used as the taxiway connector but the medium stands are 10 in width meaning there is no way to connect it in the middle. The solution was to shift the taxiway connector and the entry line to square 6. Giving it a small offset but also more space for service vehicles to operate on the aircraft right side.

[pderuiter]

Or make the large stand 11 wide?

Gives even more room

[Fredrik]

Yea, I know. But it makes it uneven, the idea was to be able to have 2 small stands for 1 medium and maybe 2 medium for one large. So that it can easily be calculated when designing the terminal.

[EG0611]

@Fredrik keep it like this. If pkayer wants to create symmetric gates alongside taxiway he will jump 1 tile and then replace gates and then he fills empty row with concrete ground.
It will make game mıre challenging and more designful

Dev Log 75, yeah!
