That looks sweet, it’s like mine…on steroids. Are you the same person that created Gobras City?

Best airport by a newbie I’ve seen in years. Great effort. My biggest concerns are:

1) Does Gobras City metro region really need another airport?

2) Your passenger terminal seems a bit too small relative to the number of gates - and your gates are irregular and packed to closely together. Here’s my best airport - it’s not perfect, but I put a lot of effort into the spacing / scaling of the terminal and gates relative to the amount of volume I imagined.

The airport looks fine, but the location isn’t. Considering Gobras City Worldport is that nearby, it probably won’t get much use. A regional airport is more than enough.

Mike, he said he’s a new user, so he can’t be the one that created Gobras City. The City is there for a while already, and since it’s collaborative many people have taken part in making it.

So for all people that said that Gobras city doesn’t need another international airport, these are my thoughts on it: - Gobras city is comparable to a very expensive airport for most of the larger airlines that fly to this area. (Like London Heathrow) - Margenson airport is more like an international airport for budget airlines that prefer cheap prices, but also for large airlines, that fly into Gobras multiple times a day and want more than one airport as a destination. (Like London stansted)

To put it in context, here is a map of the airports around Gobras City. I do think it’s a big much. There needs to be better coordination on passenger vs cargo vs general aviation vs military. L/

The airport looks very good so far.

That’s like a lot of airports for one city

Well here’s the same query over Washington… It’s less about the number, more about the size, scope and use of each.

actually i dont think there are too much airports in Gobras City. I mean look at huge international cities like London, London has multiple international airports: Luton, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Southend and City and a lot of small ones!!

Nevertheless, I think we should standardise the number of airports around Gobras City. Some airports may be former ones, either converted to an air base or a VIP airport. Some which are close to each other may be merged into one single larger airport, and those smaller ones can be deleted or moved to another location if necessary.

Another suggestion. As a city grows, old airports near city center are sometimes closed down and the precious land area is liberated for different use. The later structure of such an area can reflect the airport layout to some extent, as is the case at Turku Fair Center, where the old runways have been turned into parking areas. Closing down one of Gobras City airports might develop into interestingly unusual yet realistic mapping.

I was also thinking of runways turning into motorways, then old hangars converted to police posts, etc. In fact actually out of an airport you can make it into a small village.

It’d be a good discussion to continue at https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/Talk:OGF:Gobras_City
