About This File
The Civil Defence Tracking Station has been rebuilt with new tracking systems and a communications centre. In version 2, there are many new enhancements that are designed to warn your cities from natural hazards. The state of the art detection and city warning system is designed to scan and detect a large scale threat and warn the city (or country) in order for people to evacuate. The station constantly monitors, scans and measures for most type of natural hazards including earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis. The station also links with satellites and space observatories.
To find a threat, the station uses a comprehensive set of tracking methods. This includes a Doppler radar system that can detect and predict weather patterns, powerful radars that detect any incoming objects such as meteors, space junk or missiles and a system of accelerometers to measure seismic activity. The station uses rapid information communication to send and receive messages from other stations.
In the game, the Civil Defence Tracking Station acts as a police station. It covers a whole (large) city in police protection. I have chosen to do this because it is better for the lot to have an in game function rather than it just be a landmark. For realism, the Civil Defence Tracking Station is best built on a mountain or near water. But the effects of the station (police coverage) still cover a large region when built in any area.
In version 2, I have basically rebuilt my original Civil Defence Tracking Station. The only thing the same is the lot size and the car park! I have replaced some of the maxis industrial buildings and added some other more exiting ones. I have changed the mast from a Doppler radar to a more dominant and taller radar mast. The Maxis radars have also been replaced with some more interesting ones. The basic layout and stats are the same as version 1 (except for a few tweaks), but there are many differences and more detail added in this version. I have also updated the in game description and transit enabled the end of the roads.
Effects: Radio waves emitted Small radars turn Red lights on mast.
