Here is Johannesburg, South Africa!.

While i was waiting this morning for the votes to end, which Sydney is the next city, i made Johannesburg in 2 hours, nothing hard, just simple!. And it turned out to be quite like a 'mini Johannesburg' of some sort, with a skyline that loos very similar - im proud of it!.

Take care

    well...it depends on wether if more people comment and all that, also, wether if i have missed out anything etc.

    Also, i have to still continue with Rangoon at the moment.

    But, do you want me to continue the city for more improvments?.

    Take care

    Well it would be nice to see more suburbs and ghettos of Johannesburg. Hard to say that have you missed anything, because I haven't been Johannesburg, heh.

    Awesome job man, Johannesburg! I actually want this to be a continuation CJ unlike copes since he just posts deletes, we dont get to enjoy the full aspect his cities offer, put off the other recreations for a while, dont turn into cope! Make this an actual CJ! cant wait for upclose shots!

    One question, do you use the super demand radical ordinance?

    Okay, I, as a South African, have to say that that initial aerial shot of Johannesburg looks VERY, VERY realistic! *shock*

    Of course, due to the limitations of custom content, upon closer inspection one can see the differences more clearly, but what the heck! That's great, and I do of course understand that there are very little, no, wait, almost NO South African skyscrapers and other buildings available (apart from a few released by CSX / Vlakhaas).

    I've never really been fond of Johannesburg, as such, as I'm a resident of its northern neighbour (well, we're pretty much connected nowadays) and the administrative Capital of the Republic - South Africa.

    Johannesburg is for the snooty rich people and their fast cars, fast-paced lives and all that. Not for me. 3.gif I prefer the more laid-back approach to fast-paced living, yeah, it sounds contradictory, but we Pretorians just have a specific way of doing things. Not to mention that I love Pretoria "architecture," the buildings we have here, the Jacaranda trees in spring, and the amazing student and night life of the city.

    Okay, enough pimping my city. lol.

    But, yet again, great impression here! *two thumbs up*
