Start with your skybridgte over a Foundation and end over a Foundation on the other Side
In order to build a skybridge you will need to build a level zero foundation first of where you want it to go. Once youāve built foundation on the higher floors, you can then remove the ground floor foundation.
Actually there is a better way. The system will allow for a bridge if the first and last point of ādragged terminalā is above a roof. Like below.
Wow. Never knew
Our whistleblower from Ibiza airport just sent us this picture of a 1st/2nd floor skybridge over an aircraft stand
The new rooftop thingies, sometime show up as shadow on other floors.
Iād like you to allow building overhanging (e.g. 2 tiles witdh) upper floors.
This way you could place airside bus stops between stand and terminal and still connect the jetway to the terminal easily too
Will aircraft be able to pass under? I just assume but i do wanna know.
It is possible already! And easy to do as well! Just create 2 floors and build a gate next to it. The jetway goes automatically to the first floor. You can then demolish the 8 tiles (4x2 tiles) needed for the airside bus on the ground floor - an voila, you have two different sets of gates, one with a jetway and one with a bus, at the same place just on two different floors
If you look a little further up this post to Fredrikās post, seems you donāt even need to build the ground floor foundation
thatās great
I know, Iām doing it already this way. Itās just not user friendly and should be changed. imho
Does not have to be done this way. Look at Fredrikās post further up the thread
Donāt forget Iām talking about overhanging floors ā¦ not skybridges. Even with Fredriks method you still need a dummy foundation to get an overhanging floor.
Ah, my bad. Not quite sure how that would be able to be worked though?
@Seraphin, Lay down dummy Level 0 foundation tile(s). DO NOT WAIT FOR IT TO BUILD. Go up one level to Level 1. Immediately lay down foundation tiles from the roof to the dummy foundation tiles (per Fredrikās solution). Go down one level to Level 0 and delete the dummy foundation tiles. This will create the overhangling floor.
I just did this with my airport to overhang the Bus Stops and Subway next to my main terminal. You can also delete any extra foundation tiles on the roof.
Here is my sky bridge from a remote terminal (top) to its satellite (bottom). This is viewed at Level 1. Small aircraft easily pass under it. You can see an escalator (at bottom) to get to the Small Stand gates on Level 0. The top-left escalator is from Level 0 up to Level 1. I built the skybridge over existing Small Stands.

I know how to build overhanging floors. No need for further descriptions. Still itās not user friedly and thereās no reason to not allow overhanging floors, as thatās possible in real life too. Thatās what Iām talking about.
In general, I agree, that could be more userfriendlyā¦
BUT:
As you know overhanging floors are limited by physics, so in most games I remeber they are limited (e.g. project highrise).
In actual ACEO version it is even possible to build completely flying floors with no foundation on ground floor. that seems pretty unrealistic to me, tooā¦
So I think for the future there are some limitations about overhanging floors/skybridges needed, to be more realistic.
IMHO introducing that limitations should/can go hand-in-hand with allowing ādirect free foundation buildingā of overhanging floors - within this limitations.
As I know our devs, I think this topic is already on their radar.
