Thanks a lot. I'm having a very long game break, but do plan to eventually return to map making once that aspect is sorted out for Skylines 2. I do have a number of part completed maps too. Hong Kong Airport was my last map attempt.

I got this map, it looks nice! The airport is nicely done!

+1 for san andreas lake

idk, i loaded the map, is broken, it didnt crash but its all messed up.

I like the fact that Airports are hubs. In many ways they are their own economy and urban ecosystems. They attract large highways, tech parks, hotels, distribution buildings, park and ride, rail and often monorail. I like the fact that they are complicated focal points, just as a downtown also is. They draw in a diverse range of buildings.
I'm not exactly sure why, but i tend to be more interested in low density green suburban areas that also have extensive highways, tech parks and industrial areas, than downtowns. I'm also really interested in Commercial corridors such as Telecom Corridor in Dallas and the Technology and Research Corridor in Chicago. In fact i might make a map of that area in Chicago along Interstate 88. I still love downtowns but the problem with Skylines is the Object limits. It means that if you build a large downtown, there's not that much space left over for sprawling suburbs, which is why often i just focus on non downtowns.

Thanks for the update! Out of curiosity, what is it about maps based around airports that catches your interest so much?

Hi Mac. I am currently working on a Chicago O'Hare Airport map, but i am also over 50% complete on Minneapolis and Washington D.C. The D.C map is especially complicated as it takes in The Pentagon, Arlington Cemetery, all the crazy interchanges and it covers the south towards Alexandria, which also has big interchanges.
I'm so addicted to O'Hare, that i think i will complete this map, before returning to the others. Even this map is pretty complicated, but at least there It's more simple than D.C

@j_nobbs any updates on your next projects?

Thanks Perry. I did use Terrain Party and it worked for me. However right now it is not working. I'm trying to get a heightmap of Chicago O'hare. Thankfully i have a lot of heightmaps saved and i can choose other projects. This issue with Terrain Party is very frustrating. There is also no way to contact the person who created it. I think Skylines should have their own heighmap generator. There are more than enough players to warrant it.
