San Portello By Nealos101

[6underground 11]

Excellent update, nice to see you diagonalised (is that a word) the roads in the first pic, which really addy variety to an otherwise boring picture, and the seafront with the piers, very scenic. But i think my favourit of this update has to be the most unsurprising (for me anyhow), the last picture, the traffic on the highway, its nice to see highways that look busy in city journals. Nice job

[PhilsCafe 8]

Great CJ. I like the look and feel of the region. The pictures look great too. I should pop in here a bit more frequently.

[nealos101 20]

6underground: Thanks for that advice - I love the outcomes it gave me... put a smile to my sickened (Ill) face. The traffic mod is working perfectly for me and those pictures were just for traffic lovers like yourself! How far are you with the Embassy?

PhilsCafe: Thanks! I need to concentrate on your CJ more too, that thing has serious potential and has sparked my interests almost as much as the ones in my signature!

 

Perhaps another update soon...

Update 45

Los Porablos GLR - Stoopid or what?

Mayor Joey of San Fernandes visited Los Porablos today, and beheld a strange sight... Ground-Light-rail???

 

http://img156.echo.cx/img156/6226/nealos101update45000004nn.jpg align=baseline>

45.1 GLR passing through Beverly Heights...

 

He spoke to Los Porablos' mayor and he said traffic was painful and annoying, and the hillside outskirts of Beverly Heights couldn't get to work on time.  He also added that the old outskirts couldn't take part in construction but the new zones got the full swing of the service...

 

http://img156.echo.cx/img156/2148/nealos101update45000019iu.jpg align=baseline>

45.2 The Hillside resorts overlooking the local lake are well-serviced by the GLR...

 

The GLR swerves around the hills using a smart technique of subway transitions and curves, allowing it to service the entire area quickly and calmly.

 

http://img156.echo.cx/img156/5506/nealos101update45000021lm.jpg align=baseline>

45.3 The overall detail of the hills and GLR...

 

With no housing, it'll be some time before the GLR is heavily used... but eventually, it'll become very imporant...

 

You'll have to stay tuned for mroe views of the GLR in Porablos, and in Georgetown, it'll be an entrie new tram network in the bottom of the downtown skyscrapers! Woof!

 

http://img156.echo.cx/img156/6853/nealos101update45000030cv.jpg align=baseline>

45.4 A city view...

 

Apologies if the update was short... well past my bedtime!

 

Comments? Questions? I don't mind!

[Fairlane500 8]

Interesting, seems a lot like the rail that I incorporated into my city of Hamilton, except since yours has such a neat use of transitions, I deep it much better.

[sc4frk 0]

Keep up the good work, This one is bookmarked!!!

[PhilsCafe 8]

Good idea to use GLR in the suburbs. It's much more decent than elevated rail... Nice update, btw.

- Phil

[lookinin 2]

Great job with the GLR! The terraforming & walls look nice as well! Looking forward to another update

[nealos101 20]

Fairlane500: Thanks! Anyone who has enough patience to play with the GLR has a gift... Im having so much troubles with it! But it's getting there very slowly...

sc4frk: Another bookmark! Thanks!

 

PhilsCafe: Thanks, I'd rather be playing with the GLR than the elevated rail - especially if it's go those cool hillside transitions that fit great into beverly heights!

 

 lookinin: Glad you like, another update coming soon! More of Beverly Heights and back to SF.

Update 46

Beverly Heights Develops & Expands...

Greetings San Portello fans! Beverly Heights is still expanding and Mayor Joey is still at Los Porablos to still watch the atmosphere as it develops...

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/6764/nealos101update46000001ov.jpg align=baseline>

46.1 This part of the city now is occupied and the GLR is being used by 90 residents! 90! Wow!!!

 

Beverly Heights is finally becoming famous for it's beautiful landscapes, and as the hills become to large for the brickwork tiles to be applied to the cliffs, commercial districts are wanting a spot in the development craze! Residents are a top priority, but we say glory to the Commercial!

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/747/nealos101update46000014ef.jpg align=baseline>

46.2 Want to live here? Just apply via the forum or PM Project President Nealos and he'll sort it out for you!

 

With commercial applications coming in near and wide, we couldn't just say now and keep developing housing areas, what would you do?

 

70% allow...

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/2926/nealos101update46000024hl.jpg align=baseline>

46.3 Commercial areas develop first...

 

As proof of the developments, the commercial builds first, slowly followed by the housing estates.  Odd connection? I don't think so!

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/3950/nealos101update46000034uw.jpg align=baseline>

46.4 The housing estates here today are still there - with any importance.

 

The local government (Run by the Mayor of San Portello), supports these local areas by concentrating on commerce and trade.  This time the mayor isn't letting anythign happen what so ever.

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/9578/nealos101update46000042dn.jpg align=baseline>

46.5 Beverly Heights as it is.

 

Bridgestone National Park

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/5024/nealos101update46000051mt.jpg align=baseline>

46.6 Remember this?

 

Look what I've been up to thanks to the poll I posted...

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/4528/nealos101update46000066gy.jpg width=1024 align=baseline>

46.7 The city next door loves the changes... here's why...

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/5946/nealos101update46000077gx.jpg align=baseline>

46.8 The lake is complete and the park has expanded...

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/3941/nealos101update46000081dx.jpg align=baseline>

46.9 This indusrty is the only industry along the way - it supports Bridgestone.  The name change for the park itself was becuase of this company... Bridgestone!

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/425/nealos101update46000092mp.jpg align=baseline>

46.10 The river crossing supplies a better alternative to going all the way around the lake...

 

 

http://img31.echo.cx/img31/8104/nealos101update46000109op.jpg width=800 align=baseline>

46.11 This island in the river marks the beginning of the quest to Las Ventura... After San Fernandes is complete.

 

That's all folks!

 

Hope you enjoyed as much as I have!

 

Comments appreciated!

great update and i like how you did those cliffs they're amazing! Keep updating this journal i love it.

[lookinin 2]

Beverly Heights is turning out beautifully and that region shot looks superb, great work!

[flappie 0]

I like your suburbs or heights you can say it.
the landscape of San Proablos looks nice.

How much time did you spend on the landscape man? it is cool.

[nealos101 20]

am44: Thanks! Im glad you enjoy San Portello and it won't be stopping soon...

lookinin: Personally, I love Beverly Heights - Id say its the best thing that's come out of San Portello so far - but Im aiming Georgetown's Downtown to be the most photo-excellent of all. Thanks again Lookinin, people like you keep this CJ going!

 

flappie: Thanks! The city is called Los Porablos. It took me at least 4-5 hours to accomplish what you see here today.  Id say the more time something takes, the better it looks and Beverly Heights has prooved it.

 

Thanks again everyone, anymore comments/suggestions welcomed as usual!

Update 47

LPX???????!!!

News Reporter: In an occurance of strange events, an odd hurricane that struck through San Portello yesterday only claimed one part of one of the vibrant cities in the state.  We're going live via satillite to give you this special bulliten, over to you Amie!

 

47.1 A serious computer glitch claimed this city area... It's the one and only LPX

 

Amie: Thankyou! Im now following what looks like LPX, untouched by any hurricane thus far... but... wait! HOLY GOD!

 

*Channel flickers and zapps to and fro as a huge thunderstorm makes LPX look like a chilli sandwhich left in the fridge for five days with some ants munching on it*

 

News Reporter: Amie? Amie?

 

Amie: Wow... I don't know what the hell just happened, but the flash that just occurred came from outer space! It zapped through the eye of the hurricane and what appears to be ... No ... It can't be?

 

47.2 Deleting the city, and rebuilding it took painful tears.

 

Amie: LPX is gone!

 

News Reporter: Yes, it has been closed for several weeks...

 

Amie: No, I mean it's actually gone from the cityscape area!

 

News Reporter: It's not in the cityscape ara... San Portello doesn't have an airport in a cityscape area...

 

Amie: Whatever man! I know what Im seeing! It's NOT THERE.

 

News Reporter: Aliens! Ahh! They've abducted LPX and are now coming for us! No!! Run for your life!

 

*Reporter jumps out a window*

 

Amie: Right... Close enough.  End of report.

47.3 LPX was reconstructed... very slowly...

 

Mayor: This is insane! A major commuter airport doesn't just vanish, leaving thousands of commuters stranded on the outbreakers of the city! what are we supposed to do?

 

Transportation Department: Bah! Poddycock! I say go fetch it and punish it!

 

Seaport Export & Import Division: Build another seaport there!

 

Los Porablos Aviation Authority: We have to act quickly before the commuters within Porablos become angry and use the highways to get home!

 

Environment Agency: Too much pollution! Too much pollution!

 

Mayor: Alright everyone.  Plan B in your textbooks.

 

*The entire hall opens up a hardback book entilted 'Plan B.'*

 

San Portello Governing Body: Mayor! Governer Nealos wants results from a satisfactory airport, not a broken-down one! Your situation at this mayoral post is here by defective if you do not propose a strategy in sixty seconds...

 

Los Porablos Aviation Authority: We begin with the industry! Get it back on track and begin taxing them to support the reconstruction!

 

Transportation Department: Bah! Highways! Expressways! Mass-transit! Hurrumpf!

 

http://img121.echo.cx/img121/2118/nealos101update47000034uw.jpg align=baseline>

47.4 Confusing, but the in-depth pictures coming...

 

Mayor: Already planned! The airport is already under construction! Transport department - show us your plans...

 

Transportation Department: Bah! Hurumpf! Expressway branching from Simgoober freeway serving industry as a by-pass to and from airport! With rail junction yard in-between. Bah! Hip-cak-wollop!

 

Department of Public Affairs: Commute times will be lifted! We agree to the proposal! Mayor! You have yourself a project!

 

Environment Agency: Too much pollution! Too much pollution!

 

Everyone Else: Gawd...

 

http://img121.echo.cx/img121/1715/nealos101update47000049ec.jpg align=baseline>

47.5 Work begins... and is almost finished...

 

Mayor: Good stuff everyone! what are we to do with the airport problem?

 

Aviation Authority: The airport served a measly 400,000 passengers, we suggest adding some more facilities to boost population usage to 1,000,000!

 

Transportation Department: Expressway! Bah! Conjestion! Toll booths!

 

Mayor: Good thinking... Anyone else?

 

Everyone else: Hmmm...

 

Environment Agency: Too much pollution! Too mu...

 

Everyone Else: ...Shaddup!

 

http://img121.echo.cx/img121/640/nealos101update47000057nt.jpg align=baseline>

47.6 The expressway is almost complete...

 

Mayor: We're on track! More proposals?

 

*Environment agency raises hand...*

 

Mayor: Yes?

 

Environment Agency: Too much pollution!

 

Mayor: Bah!

 

Transportation Department: Hurrumpf!

 

Everyone Else: Bah! Hurrumpf! Excellent...

 

http://img121.echo.cx/img121/3445/nealos101update47000066ra.jpg align=baseline>

47.7 Driving is bliss...

 

Mayor: All set! Let's ajourn till the airport is compelte!

 

Everyone Else: Aye!

 

*Environment Agency raises hands...*

 

Mayor: I KNOW THERE'S TOO MUCH POLLUTION! WE'LL DEAL WITH THAT LATER! Now everyone go home!!!!

 

*Hall empties except for Environment Agency...*

 

Environment Agency: This new policy is working great, soon he'll have to cut pollution...

[lookinin 2]

Sorry to learn you lost part of your city - I'm sure that after the reconstruction it will be even better You have a great sense of humor!

I love the elevated avenues too, but I can't tell if it's the image filter or if you're using the older NAM version, but the white parts look too bright - the new version has some cosmetic fixes. If it's your filter, sorry for bringing it up. ( NetworkAddon_Beta (June 2005) )

Great job in any case - it's a pleasure to visit your CJ after each update!

[nealos101 20]

Thanks again Lookinin!

Photoshop is boosting the colours in the NAM overpasses, so they look that way. Lol! Its a shame really, I love those overpasses - I beleive I have the latest version... If not, Ill discover soon enough! I like to add some humor now and then, I don't want this CJ to be boring 24/7!

 

Thats for positive comments and noticing those problems! I love those sort of posts!

 

Update sooner or later... Stay tuned!

 

Anymore comments appreciated!

Fernandes & Portello - Cities to be Proud of?

http://img124.echo.cx/img124/1348/nealos101update48000006nc.jpg align=baseline>

48.1 San Fernandes is doing fine, but it has alot more to do before it becomes my favourite.

 

This city isn't undergoing any treatment, just the transportation lines will be improved.  Everything will connect properly very soon.

 

http://img124.echo.cx/img124/8927/nealos101update48000015sz.jpg align=baseline>

48.2 LPX has a respectable junction now...

 

This area will be improved, and as you can see, some housing estates have developed.

 

http://img124.echo.cx/img124/4505/nealos101update48000025qw.jpg align=baseline>

48.3 This road is conjested, simple as that.  As soon as I played the game, I get this many traffic...

 

http://img124.echo.cx/img124/4425/nealos101update48traffic9mq.jpg align=baseline>

48.3/1 The highway has this traffic...

 

http://img124.echo.cx/img124/9136/nealos101update48000037bl.jpg align=baseline>

48.4 The avenue here is conjested to the max. ARG!

That's a quick update for you all! Enjoy!

 

Comments appreciated as usual!

[whitty86 0]

nice update keep them coming. I was just wondering with your custom airport how many people use it because mine barely gets used with about 16 people using it. I have got the tram and the control tower as well with a region of 2.2 million. What do you think im doing wrong?

[whitty86 0]

nice update keep them coming. I was just wondering about your custom airport capacity. Mine uses 16 people in a region of 2.2 million. I have the control tower and the tram in the airport and a highway that leads all through the region. Got any suggestions to make it used more?

[nealos101 20]

Your best bet is to build/zone more commercial - that way mroe business uses it.

Thanks for the comments!

[Cjah 15]

Wow!

This C.J. is very good looking and quite realistic...

 

It really reminds me of my home...Califonria rules and so does this C.J.

Haven't posted here in a bit, but it's looking really great. Beverly Heights looks wonderful the way you've terraced those houses. The new LPX looks well laid out, especially the highway junctions. And the region view is just impressive.

[lookinin 2]

Great job nealos101! The airport looks great and I love the way you've laid out the highways & avenues. The light towers never quite fit - I guess they had to be taller to actually shed light to the surroundings, but they still look nice. Awesome work, great night pics!

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

Wow! This CJ does get better and better every-time I check it out. I really like the way you are setting out your homes. Hey ! That is sort of the way I am doing it Great work! Looking forward into more updates. Oh BTW that Airport junction is so realistic! I like the idea! I wish We had something like that in San Francisco!

[nealos101 20]

oroen: Thanks again! Like I said before, Beverly Heights is a masterpeice, and LPX will hopefully be one soon as well! San Fernandes International... Not too sure. Glad you like reigon views too!

lookinin: Thanks again! I've been looking at your CJ and it's due for some good comments! Light towers never seem to fit... Oh well lol.

 

Mexicanboy13r: Thanks! The homes - I love. The airport - I'm hoping to be good! It's a project Im concentrating hard on.  Hopefully I get as much comments on it as I have with Beverly Heights!

 

Thanks everyone!
