Specs: i7 7700k, GTX 1080 TI, 16GB RAM.

And the worst is, this is a regional airport with 5 small ramps and 8 medium gates. Imagine what's going to happen when I get 747s and A380s...

There must be something really wrong at your airport, maybe security zone or path finding.
I've got much much more build at my airport and with normal game speed the CPU usage is at about 70%.
I can take a look at if you want.

I'm getting alot of these red questionmarks stating it can't find routes, but there usually isn't even anyone standing at that spot... It's just really frustrating to play like this.

I understand you, that's really frustrating.
If you want i can take a look at, just upload your savegame and send me the link.

There's some tampering I can do myself as well to try and troubleshoot it a little bit. If I can't get out of it myself I'll post a link so you can have a look as well.

Things that I did was make the map bigger (size 2000, largest possible size so that the grass doesn't chip the borders) and set passenger to flight ratio down to 50%. Might consider putting it down to 25% or even 10%, since when I was building there was no problem whatsoever. Even with GA activity there wasn't; it started happening when my first few regional flights with passengers arrived. And since the airport isn't that big yet (almost the entire field still fits on one screenshot) I don't think it's the world size causing it.

HAHAHA Oh my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ God... I fixed it... And you gotta know what was causing it!

So the blue line is their original intended route, and the blue circle is where the problem was with all the red questionmarked passengers amassing. The red striked circle was the problem; I forgot to place a crosswalk there, but I likely unintentionally have found a routing bug within the game.

As you can see, the yellow route I've drawn out could've been an alternate option to the terminal entrance, but they weren't taking it, instead moaning my CPU to 100% all the time and wondering why the ♥♥♥♥ they even exist.

The second I placed that crosswalk I noticed my CPU usage dropped immediately. A routing bug caused with longer walking distances possibly?

Nice layout.
But yeah, as easier the paths are as bigger your airports can get. (If your hardware is good of course)

[Sirion]

Thanks!
I'm currently expanding to the international terminal. If you'd like to mess around, I can send you the save file if you don't mind some asthetic mods. (And if your setup can handle a 2000x2000 map)

It's far from finished, but even if you want the save right now to modify it before completion, let me know.

I am looking forward to see the progress and result.
Is it inspired by a real airport?

If you want you can join the Discord channel or the official forums where others share their inspirations and mega projects.

I am currently working on a 2000x2000 map as well with round about 85 stands. Not sure if it will work smoth. :)
But I prefer more the interiour design. Outside it's usually optimized for efficient paths with as less crossings as possible.

[Sirion]

I'm no fan of all those Discord servers (I'm somewhat antisocial) but no, it's not inspired by anything rather than general realism. The airport is located on an artificial island (fictional) off-shore of Takamatsu (高松市), Japan which services the cities of Takamatsu and Okayama (岡山市). -- EDIT: Some fictional lore I'm trying to recreate is that it was first constructed in 1937 during Japan's conquest as a naval air station and has some remnants of the old runways and hardstands that the original field used to have.

As this airport is my first non-cheated, non-sandbox airport, the bottom-left area which I started out with looks a bit Foxtrot-Uniform-Charlie-Kilo'ed but nothing too bad like my previous two airports suffered from. XD

Yes, you could. I can have a look at.
My specs: i7-10750H, RTX 2070 SUPER, 32 GB RAM
I think my laptop could handle it. ;-)

I tried also with the biggest possible map but stopped it after about 5 hours of planning because i was not happy with my layout. ^^

Alright, let me upload it to Google Drive, and I'll edit this post as soon as I've got a link for you.

You can upload it to the Workshop. Just press the Workshop icon in the savegame menu.

[Sirion]

I know that, but I don't like to post half-assed unfinished work on the Workshop.

Got it, i will look tomorrow.

[Sirion]

Gotcha, let me know what you think. You'll need some mods for the experience; the airlines ANA, JAL and KLM, JAL Sakura Lounge (business) and the Light Rail stickers and Airport Markings stickers or whatever they're called (where you can mark taxiways, holding points, stand numbers, etc).
