Traffic flow is a nightmare

https://preview.redd.it/na87i01duh1e1.jpg?width=2503&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd0b343b011b462b6ae7702acc0874e452ec9475

I've built a one way lane, divided into sections for "personal car", "taxi", "bus".

each section is allowed only for the type of vehicle for the stop (in the screenshot its the bus section with bus stops).

the buses stop at the bus stop, but when they try to leave, they do... that. then they just get stuck like this until they despawn.

I can't redo the roads (nor want to) as everything in that area is built and set. such change will throw everything into chaos and ruin many hours of planing and building.

any ideas as to why and how to fix this?

Vintage DLC

I'm sure it's right in front of me but how do I play the Vintage DLC. I don't see an option to load it in the menu at the start and can't find an answer online (playing on Steam)

Modding on Epic

I got the game when it was on sale on Epic and I want to mod it, but the only mods I could find are on steam workshop. Is there anyway to export those mods onto the Epic game?

Non-International Widebodies

I’m currently building an East Asian airport somewhere in China or Japan and I want widebodies and large gates for domestic flights (quite common in Asia) but every time, it’s always only international flights. Is there anyways to fix it?

Do Two differnent Terminals have to be connected

Recently I have built a second terminal for large aircraft and even though I have a walkable path between the two terminals it keeps saying there is no connection. I want to know how to fix it or if it is even necessary to connect them

Annoying road square markings

Does it annoy anyone else when you build road connected objects and the game turns the road into some tic-tac-toe game?

https://preview.redd.it/26j6b38fi01e1.png?width=2189&format=png&auto=webp&s=c4da8ea649523eba5b076b8a51f8845178d8c58c

Why? it's ugly and unrealistic. Maybe in the dev's country it's like that?

But why not do this instead?

Much cleaner and better looking. or for more realistic look.

But maybe I'm the only one who is bothered by this?!

Building a realistic airport

Hi,

Have been in this game for a few hundreds of hours, and now trying to start and build a more realistic airport, and have some questions... though in my personal life I have been to more than a dozens of countries and probably near 100 airports, but still want to check if my assumptions are correct.

  1. Check-in desks. While I have seen self-serve check-ins and baggage dropoffs in real worlds, I never seen a flight without a staff check-in desk, so I should still plan to have staff check-in desk for each flight?
  2. I never seen an airport with self-serve only boarding desk, so I should not use only the auto boarding machine, and have at least one staffed boarding desk with some automatic boarding desk?
  3. How many parking is enough? In this game, seems like you can add a lot of parking lots, and earn a lot of money. My small airport with 1000 daily passengers, could have 40 parking lots (each has 25 cars) and still almost full, making $200-300K daily. I don't know if that's realistic...
  4. Width of the taxiway, while the game allows 1 block width taxiway, but I checked even if having 5 blocks width taxiway, aircrafts could still have overlap with the terminals... Maybe I should just always use the 5-block width taxiway for small/medium and 7 or 9 for large, and call it realistic?
  5. Anything else? E.g. runway should not facing terminals?

Thanks!

Medium stands won't switch to international

I'm building the international section of the airport, but I'm having trouble connecting boarding desks to the medium stands. I've some large stands that connected without ant issues, but the medium stands seem to be locked to domestic flights and I can't change it.

It's in the international zone, but the "air traffic type" is set to domestic and grayed out, so I can't change it.

I didn't get to the international flights in the tutorial, is this the problem? I just want to get everything setup so I don't find myself demolishing and rebuilding later because I didn't plan forward.

Who is your favourite Airport CEO youtuber.

Mine's Conflictnerd. I've always loved his content and I always eagerly await his Airport CEO series. I also love how all his videos are 30mins to 1hr. Also he does such a good job of explaining the game to newcomers or people who haven't seen it before. He's also really funny sometimes and most of his stories happen in the Airport CEO series. Also one time last year I started to really miss his Airport CEO videos and the next day I saw that he had begun a new one so that was a great coincidence

Concurrent stands use limit

I'm trying to build a proper airport, but I can't decide on how many large and medium stands to use for domestic and international flights.

I don't want to build 12 large stands if I can't have 12 large planes use them. I'd rather build more medium stands and save on much needed space (I'm trying to build somewhat realistic, space is scarce).

I know medium planes can use the large stands, but as I said, it's a waste of space and makes it harder to connect service roads to needed locations.

So from your experience, how many concurrent large planes did you have at the peak?

Baggage not being loaded

Let's start by saying it's been a while since I played. I am starting a new airport, but the baggage isn't loaded onto the planes. I have several baggage cars, 5 workers on each side of the bay, belt loaders (altough I am sure small aircraft don't need those), and the zone is secure. The cars unload the bags from the plane, bring it to the bay, unload, and drive away while no one picks up the baggage to load until I have to tell the plane to leave. Has there been an update changing the baggage process in the past 2 years, or am I doing something wrong?

Refeuling not working

I have read through many posts but cant find the answer.

I have:

  1. A fuel depot
  2. A fuel contract
  3. Fuel inside said depot
  4. A fuel truck
  5. Valid path to stands
  6. Fueling enabled in operations
  7. Incoming planes with fueling request

Yet the truck refuses. What little thing am I missing?

EDIT: What ai didnt do is complete the tutorial checklist for 'refuel 5 GS flights', as I immediately researched and started with commercial flights. Could that be the issue?

Thanks

Passengers do not Pathfind to gate over multiple levels

Title. They can leave the Airport when arriving just fine, but no passengers board any plane if they have to change level to get there. This is true across multiple saves even though the pathfinding test tool says that paths do exist. I'm lost tbh

Pipe dream

Airport CEO 2 is probably a pipe dream. Is there any other games in development? This is such a good genre and the games released recently haven’t fully itched it. CEO was the best, but didn’t have the graphical looks I hoped for, and was/remains buggy.

Skyport Builder seems DOA

SkyHaven is apparently building a new game from ground up?

SimAirport is basically a puzzle builder.

Ground of Aces is great, albeit in Alpha and focused on WW2 only. Not a modern builder.

You can get pretty efficient if you don't care about realism :)

Questions on Baggage service

Hi,

I have an airport with 24 small stands (2 small runways, day flights only), and 16 medium stands (2 medium runways, day flights only). Setting is 50% passages, auto planner with 1 hours gap. So daily is like 80-90 small flights, and 40-50 medium flights.

I am planning baggage services (and realize it's very expensive, so trying to carefully plan it), and have some questions:

  1. For 24 small stands, I will have 2 baggage bay, how many baggage drops and self-service check-in machines do I need? Do I still need the small human check-in desks?

  2. For the 16 medium stands, I will have another 2 baggage bays, how many baggage drops and self-service check-in machines do I need? Do I still need the medium 2-human check-in desks?

  3. How many baggage claim areas should I have (e.g. the ratio to stands?)

Thanks!

I have a really dumb question about setting up airports

This game has been on my steam wishlist for at least 5 years. I finally bought it. Watched a few recent conflictednerd videos. Followed the tutorial a few times to get to a small commercial flight airport.

Here’s the thing: I get really weird in the beginning. I care about the layout. There’s a lot of open space to buy more land. Would it be normal to make a small airport and just kinda let it chill, and use the land I buy in the future for the medium and large airfields?

Do you guys completely redo your airports as you advance? I’ve read advice on here that you need to make an efficient good small airport before moving up, but will I have to rearrange it all if I move up?

In the videos, the game was easier than I thought

I bought the game and I'm completely lost, I've been trying to understand the game for 8 hours and I still haven't seen any significant improvement even after watching tutorial videos and seeing super complex layouts. That's it, I'm lost.

Edit: thank you everyone, I've already managed to get out of the most basic and I'm much better than I was before!

Struggling with shops

I have an airport with small and medium runway, and ~10K daily passengers. my 2 big resturants (each is 230 square meters, or 2500 sft) run pretty well, like 2-3x of required traffic.

However my big shops are never running well (4 star ones, each is ~200 square meters), regardless if I put inside security next to security check, or outside security near check-in. I only have 1 big shop, and almost always fails in 7 days.

Smaller shops (1-2 stars) ones work fine, and one actually has 10-20x of required traffic, but even if I close this small shop, my big shop still not getting enough traffic, usually half of required.

Trouble with large runways connecting.

Hello, I'm laying a network of three runways. I have two connected, but the third is not connecting. I am in planning mode. Here are the images. Any guidance here would be helpful. All the taxiway paths appear to be connected. I'm at a loss here.

General Aviation seems to be gone after commercial flights started

Hi, I have a airport with only small runaway, I built 27 aircraft stands (12 for general aviation and 15 for commercial flights).

I used to have many GA flights and parking at the 12 stands. But after I opened all the 15 commercial flights (~100 flights daily), all the GA flights seems to be gone, and the 12 GA stands are almost always empty.

I checked the stands and the runway still allows GA.

Any idea why?

Increase Airline Capacity?

I have a relatively small airport with 5 medium stands and one GA helicopter stand. I have an airline that has a two stands of the 5 sadly the airline maxes out at 45 flights planned. Is there any way to increase the number of flights an airline can plan or propose?

Flight planner mod

Hi guys, I've been playing this since early access and one of the things I really miss and never got into the game is a more realistic flight planner, where we can actually manage routes, just like the SimAirport one.

Do you know if there is any mod that adds this to the game? I would love to see something like that.
