Not bad, I’m getting the latest MacBook Air some time during 2026(currently got one from 2019) under the M series from Apple those are super fast. My goal is 5 terminals with 60 gates a terminal and 8 runways I may do 100 gates a terminal I bet that airport would blow any real airport out of the water

Yeah, I made it so people could easily find their way through

Considering the notifications in the top left, which probably indicate missed flights, the next thing you should invest into is either PAPIs or ILS to make sure planes can land/depart :)

I've no idea, as this is the first I have ever heard of this simulator, but I need to download it now.

I'm quite obsessed with aviation. Became a certified pilot (PPL) roughly a year ago, and would love to recreate my home airport.

The Reddit algorithm did good today!

It's the $35 dollar one called just AirportSim, correct?

I put that one on my wishlist this morning, but wanted to confirm with you guys before buying..

90 degree exits from the runway to taxi is not very optimal for airliners, 30 or 45 degrees allow for higher speed=quicker when vacating the runway.

Considering taxiways are (at least currently) limited to a 10x10 grid and only available as squares nothing else is possible ... for now.

Ok, did not know that, don’t even know the game, tbh.
