A view of central Port Royall showing the spread of the city to the west and north. You can also see some results of the hedge-row policy of building on cleared land and leaving the wooded areas in between as open spaces.

These next shots are of some small towns that make up part of the metro area. Although they are still mostly agricultural, you can see evidence of the regions growth beginning to show up.

Great update Rewright! I love the spacious and green areas mixed with the dense but cutting edge downtown!

Lovin' every second!

[Nardo69 51]

Great overall layout!

I love how you mix the different zones together, nice arrangement for the farms and a great railway layout. I would have tried to avoid some railway crossings but all in all all of them could be built - none of them on my ant-crossing crusade!

Extreme good harbour layout with this huge warehouse district and a superb railway connection for all these warehouses.

A true gem.

owenluby - Hey, thanks. I wanted this cj to be a little more spacious than my others.

Nardo69 - I've thought about that and I am planning a transit line to the west and I'll try to do it without crossings.

jacqulina - Thanks you. I need more green space along the harbor though. A nice park with a zoo?

Cajh - Well howdy stranger, good to hear from you. The farms were there first and the city has grown out into them. I'm using the fields for new development and keeping the hedge rows as open space and buffers.

GMT - It will be a few days maybe until the next update unless I get some time in between things. Thanks for the visit.

Update 23:

This is a quick one of the transportation map for part of the region.

[jacqulina 162]

wow my friend thats an awesome transportation pic,thats a great idea with the zoo

[pickled_pig 7]

Very nice suburban sprawl - I like how everything's spread out, with lots of open space in between.

Great burbs there......Your transit network looks like it works very well, makes sense to me. Very detailed and interesting.

[RushHourFreak 1]

Update 24:

This view is of the western suburbs and the airport in the background, showing the new extended runway and terminal.

[Schulmanator 5,813]

Looks well organized and your features are spaced out enough to give them some space and individuality

[rewright 804]

Schulmanater: A belated thanks for the post. In most US cities, the suburbs are more open which this is an attempt at emulating. As the city grows an size the inner core become more dense (at least in those communities that have taken steps to in some cases revitalize the core area), and this then spreads outward in time.

Update 25:

Downtown Port Royal's highrises glimmer in the night as cleaning crews and late workers go about their work. Banks, insurance and apartments make up most of the skyline, with a few general office buildings thrown in.

The connector winds it's way through the south side past condo's and apartments.

[asturianu 4]

Oh, this Cj is very realistic and it has a nice feeling! Those rivers are nice!

[GreekMan 246]

nice downtown

[patriots_1228 51]

nice work, jw, what did you do to make your highways darker.

[pickled_pig 7]

The sunken concrete highway navigating through the city looks excellent - the way the highway takes up such a small amount of space reminds me of when you drive through New York City. But otherwise, the city has a Midwest/South feel with all the new development.

Basically, an excellent previous two updates

[jacqulina 162]

wow my friend thats an awesome update,amazing downtown beautifull at night excellent building work.i love the sunken highway very nicely done,awesome pics,i am looking forward to seeing your zoo

[GMT 389]

Crashing Problems...

As some of you may know, there are crashing issues with the game, especially with newer machines running dual core processors. I am one of the "lucky" ones. It has made updates difficult and I have been spending a lot of time trying to figure out what is going on and how to fix it. You can read about the problem in the thread located in the bug forum.

Anyway, some much neglected correspondence:

asturianu: Thanks for the reply and glad you like!

GreekMan: Thank you. I want to add more open space though.

patriots_1228: I use the "Z_Asphalt-Highway-Textures mod".

pickled_pig: Thanks for stopping by. I'd like more of that feel downtown. Maybe another highway spur or something.

jacqulina: As always, thanks for the encouragement.

GMT: I changed that section of highway to another wall texture to see how it looks. Thanks.

homeandawaypalmbeach: Hey, glad you like it. Come again.

DanTso: Almost 250K.

Mike the Mayor: A lot of trees help the effect.

[danza3343 1]

hi rewright, i love the farmland mix with suburbs and then onto the skyscrapers, also excellent highway with the retaining walls, whats the traffic like ??

[rewright 804]

Danza3343: The traffic isn't bad because I use a fair amount of mass transit, rail and bus, which helps the residential areas especially. Also, the commercial and industrial areas are dispersed so everybody is not trying to get to the same area at once.

Update 26:

This is a quick update as I've been occupied with the Zoom/crashing problem. But this is an overview of Winchester, the second largest city in the region (or will be shortly). It is just across the pass from Port Royal and sits in a broad valley, with a lot of room to grow.
