Dual Airports
Is there any way of getting two airports together, i'm using already the largest airport available but sooo many planes.
Currently i get "too close to another airport", is there anyway of building anothern ext to it, so the planes spread themselves across the two airports essentially becoming one?
or is this a case of i need to cut down the planes and reroute or change the route into a train? In the below screenshot i was trying to build one at the other side of the train station, into the greenery.

Re: Dual Airports
As far as I know that's not possible. If you use CargoDest, I suppose what you can do is put the airports close together (obv. have the settings allow for multiple airports per city), then connect them through a circular feeder bus/tram/... route to distribute passengers among the different airports through different routes; either just duplicating all routes or use different airports for different routes. Not sure how effective that will be though.
Re: Dual Airports
I'm pretty sure there was a patch for this, but I can't tell where, as actually you simply cannot put two airports in one station.

Currently there is not. A single station can only contain one airportRedirect Left wrote:Is there any way of getting two airports together, i'm using already the largest airport available but sooo many planes.
As an interesting note: the intercontinental is not the most efficient airport in terms of through-put, the international is (IIRC).

Re: Dual Airports
Oh really? Does the 2 in 2 out runways instead of the 1 in 1 out of the international not make up for it, or is there some movements across the airport itself that slows it down?planetmaker wrote: As an interesting note: the intercontinental is not the most efficient airport in terms of through-put, the international is (IIRC).

Re: Dual Airports
There was some fancy maths and analysis performed a long time ago which should still be relevant, since I doubt any of the mechanics in question have changed. See here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=47279#p857237
