Dang! This is good! I may have to subcontract Schulmania's airport out to your contractors!

wow, yeah, that airport is really nice. Done perfectly in seemurray style realism. And it's a cool new logo...no cruise missile haha

and about those 6-8 lane avenues, he's running into the same problem every BATter is having. He can BAT them, but there are no modders around to make them work...so it might be awhile

    Sorry for the long delay.  I won't even go into the whole RL thing because that is a given and this past week has been a b*!#h. (automobile accident)  Anyway, here are a few pics to show that I have had some small amounts of spare time to expand Aqua Vista.  I changed my terrain mod and I also have terraformed other parts of the region. ( a pic will come later hopefully)

    The main new development is south of downtown, and includes the mall area...these are all far away pics right now, but hopefully you can get some sort of enjoyment out of them...

    I will have a formal update as soon as all of the area around the mall finishes developing!

    I quite like your city, it's very nice and planned. I love your airport and the suburban themed shopping centers. There is just one thing, it looks like that downtown of yours could use some expanding, I mean it looks like its only like 7 blocks and the buildings are nice, however the area needs to be more dense now, and you need to make it look like it didn't come out from nowhere. I still like the city though, nice work!! 4.gif4.gif

    Time for a real update!  First, thank you for showing concern for me about my car accident, I'm fine - I can't say the same about my truck though - $5,000 in damages.  The lady's car who hit me was totaled though.  Oh well, that's what insurance is for!  Anyway, there are alot of pics in this update, so I better get started before the site goes down!

    Giligone - Thanks, yeah that took me forever to make that airport!

    BlondeTwiggy - Thanks twigster!

    connor_v - Yes I did, thanks!

    pilotdaryl - Cool, glad you like it!  I will fix those things you mentioned very soon!

    jacqulina - Thanks darling!  I'm glad you like my work!

    Schulmanator - Thanks!  Uhh, those contractors have to finish my airport first! lol

    football_fever - Thanks, glad you like it!  And thank you for your honesty about my logo, it only helps me improve on things!

    Shanna - Okay, here's some more!  3.gif

    jacqulina - Thanks, I'm doing fine Jacky!  I'm glad you like my new terrain, the old one couldn't compare to the green-ness of paradise falls!

    Giligone - Thanks!  Really?!  That's weird, mine was because of the ice we had - maybe his was too.

    AfroThunda - Thanks, yes that does make me feel better! lol

    Voulpiotis - Thanks man!

    Schulmanator - Thanks Schulmanator!

    lifeless - Thanks, I did escape unharmed!  Glad you like my city!

    jay_allen1978 - Thank you very much!

    BlondeTwiggy - Thanks!  That's okay Twigtser, it happens!

    Urbandogg - Thank you!  I know what you mean, but it should look better when all of the suburbs are finished developing around it!

    First for a special announcement - Aqua Vista has a new NBA team:

    AVjerseys2.jpg

    Here is the interior of the Chase Center, the arena they play in.  Call 1-800-AVTICKS for ticket information.  (I made the logo and all this in MS Paint, which accounts for the smudginess)

    A day and night shot of the Chase Center...

    Wonderful journal you have here, though the skyscrapers in your downtown just don't seem to fit in with the sparsity from all around.

    Again, great job. Very Portlandesque.

    I agree that it could use some filling in around downtown, but I think the actual downtown is perfect. It looks exactly how a downtown

    It seems like those malls are popping up everywhere! Just like in real life...speaking of which, sorry to hear about the accident. Hope everything is ok.

    Great work! Your city is really coming along. I very much like your downtown. Its big, but not too big. Also, its very well defined. Excellent work once again. I don't think I've ever looked at the maxis baseball stadium in night mode, is that the default lighting? It looks really cool. 4.gif
