I really like that last picture of the motorway cutting through the hillside, and the gently sloping overpass.

Bienvenue

frogface how can i get the motorway signs you have in the picture and the motorway it self and the bridge over the motorway. it would be a great help thanks!

I might be able to help you there - the motorway is just the in-game highway, but FF probably used the Euro Road textures mod. As for the green signs, they appear on highways in the game as standard.

[Tennismaster1 1]

what about thses signs do u know where i can get them from and if u download the euro road for the road does it include the highway too?

I love the progress this is making, in perticular, I like the way that you've taclked the submerging of the railway... and that station

The motorway... no one protested its construction? Or did the gouvernment just level the protesters as well?

Keep up the good work!

Great update!

Have you got an cormemorative plaque for the M1?

I love this idea, I like to do things similar to your motorway scheme, but like you said, SC isn't realistic in the essence that people wont travel all the way. For example, I travel to Liverpool from Carlisle (and visa versa) but if we did something like that on SC, the mway wont have anyone travelling on it!

Is the M1 as well used as it's counterpart?

Fantastic updates!  Im sorry I missed so much of this, I had quite a bit to catch up on since starting my latest CJ.  Great use of photoshop on your pictures and articles.  I love the mixture of buildings and fields.  I look forward to more updates!

[jacqulina 162]

The new underground station....how does it work? Are trains really connected to it? (Perhaps you are connecting subway to the station...but having a station that wide it seems the subway trains may get confused and run around it in circles....)

Great update as usual FF. I love the highway signs.

This has got to be the best rural, small city CJ on the planet.

I love the farm layout from the satellite view

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Looks great.

About the pic with the sign, there's something wrong with it...

It's on the wrong side of the highway.

[frogface 354]

Everyone: thanks for all the comments and taking the time to look in here, every comment fully appreciated 

nooneatall: I think eventually the protestors gave up, However around Thames people have been quite supportive of it since traffic is pretty bad in Thames these days.

wallasey:some sections seem well used. as soon as the Thames section was opened a flood of buses went on it.

but you're right I dont think a sim will commute Mainsborough-Thames... fairly unrealistic since in RL people will commute quite far. People from my town commute to London 60 miles each day for example We can only hope SC5 will improve the commuting simulator (if there is a SC5 of course but that's a whole different thread)

jbridgman: If you mean Mainsborough Central then yes! in a way. Its a subway station and the subway is connected to normal rail. Sadly its a bit of a mess with the metro line. The limitations of SC4 mean the lines are connected but in RL I would imagine they would be seperate.

Tennismaster1:Tonks is planning to release them later, in a more polished version as they were just tests

Shadow_Assassin: Those lazy workers and no I dont mean the construction crew

Left hand drive is pretty neglected, highway signs wrong way...trains still on right hand side when we were promised roundabouts and custom highway signs for the left hand drive version

Nice work, frogface. I love the bridges, all low rise, very old concept, and it looks great.

[wallasey 8]

Fantastic!

[MrCinatit 30]

i love looking at those before and after pictures, Frog...they go to show how much work you have been putting into this...spectacular. keep up the great work.

[Tennismaster1 1]

hi nice work frogface could you plz tell me where u got the thame park and the football pitch with the fence thanks.

[jacqulina 162]

nice effect on the pics coming on really good

[Bee21 2]

There are a few theme park BATs on the STEX and the football pitch is part of a school. It tells you where to get it a few pages back.

[nooneatall 6]

Severn... name sounds like somewhere you would find around here...
And the flats look really 1960s-'70s-'80s British

Severn beach looks like a really cozy place to live...

I really like the shot of it from Victorian times, though. It's a shame the place was practically levelled for low wealth flats... oh well, to see somewhere without concrete blocks nowadays would be... unrealistic!

[gurrgkud 2]

wow very nice! I LOVE Seven North beach!

[frogface 354]

thanks all for commenting

MrCinatit: I do quite like doing the before and after pictures but its quite time consuming and so I cant do it in every update.

Tennismaster1: search these names on the STEX: nomad1 for theme parks and rp2004 for the school with football pitch

nooneatall: yes, quite sad that it has declined but I do like a bit of realism in CJ's

gurrgkud:I wouldn't mind speinding a day there too, just watch out for the vomit slicks near the rollercoasters

 

 

now for another one of my tours

Looks very interesting, I really like the train model. Also, very nice rail embarkment lots. Maybe you can send those to me on MSN sometime.

[Gryphonite 0]

Went on holiday, missed sooooo much! Love the 'Blackpool' feel to Severn beach. This really is  unique CJ you have here. 

[Nik-nik 3]

Frogface this is a masterpiece.

I just have a question regarding your streets:

Why don't you use the cul de sac mod? ( https://www.simtropolis.com/modding/index.cfm?mode=details&show=379 )

 

The picture below shows what I mean. A barrier between the road and the parking lot looks so odd. Don't you agree?
