Well, Alex that looks absolutely brilliant! Many people would not realize how realistic that open space is with the spare trees but it certainly reminds me of a Canadian suburb; so you've definitely done a good job on presenting Canada in Capilano Valley!

1. Likes clicky mappy thingy of Canada. (but what is that big white area to the south...? 47.gif)

2. Likes the diagonal roads and cul de sacs - very nice *mental note to self - must copy*

3.  Candy Rock Mod?  Show me the sugar!

4.  [pilotdaryl - New Zealand Christmas = Summer ... No snow, just BBQs...  16.gif]

This is a very well done CJ. Your cities are well built and impressive. The photoshopped view out the airplane window was a very neat way to present your region shot. Looking forward to more.

What the devil is that... now you're doing cross-country works 9.gif not much of a difference but I say GREAT 44.gif please please PLEEASE do a British Columbian town along the 1-highway... I don't know, somewhere south of Cache Creek?4.gif  That would be good... I could even make a good old convenience store with a gas bar and a Chester Fried if you like 29.gif however I am unfortunately... too busy for that... will have to find another time.  Good luck!

    Iiiit's update time! 9.gif

    farmlandrhw.jpg

    Pretty basic. Just a shot of the Trans-Canada, along some lovely farmland. I'll be showing off lots of the farms around the Red River area next update.

    reststop.jpg

    Rest stop! This is just east of Borden Road, right along Highway 1 (The Trans-Canada). Looks pretty busy, hm?

    overpass.jpg

    Another shot of the main road into the town.

    Close-up of the save-on-foods, few hotels and stuff. Thought you guys might like a close up of them. 2.gif

    warehouse.jpg

    Here as well is a close-up of those warehouses we saw last time. Nice dust cloud blowing over too. 3.gif

    residential.jpg

    Ooh, new residential. Get your bearings, that's Borden Road on the left. 3.gif

    Short but sweet.... That's all, folks!

    Beautiful, excellent pics! I like it very much!! One question: where can I find the trucks from the warehouse, are they on the stex?

    Anyways, looking forward to seeing more of your great work,

    *****MERRY CHRISTMAS*****

    Nice little commercial area with the hotel and the stores. I wonder if those hotel guests must feel strange seeing a buck just outside their window?

    Great job, very realistic. I like your use of the highway system. Great freight center too. Too bad it was only a small update.

    Well then, I guess I hate you too. 3.gif

    And do me that mountainous one so that I'll hate you more. 9.gif

    And where did you get that warehouse and the adjacent lot filled with trucks?

    Everything looks good! I liked the fences bordering the farms as well as the rest stop areas. Also, that industrial/warehouse area and the suburbs were well-made, keep it up!

    I hate to be picky, but I have a few pointers to give you regarding this photo beebs.

    (Sorry for my bad paint job, I did it rather quickly)

    The image

    1.  Your Ave over RHW piece is placed in the wrong direction on the right hand side.  See the misaligned lines?  That should be a clue as to how to correctly place these puzzle pieces.  If you don't rotate this piece to match up with the highway, no traffic will ever use it.

    2.  Try to smoothen out your curves (box the arrow is pointing to),  Some of them are smooth though (box the arrow is pointing from).  It will make a much more realistic image/interchange.

    3.  Whats happening up there?  Just to let you know, the ANT network has to be at least 3 tiles long for it to transform to a RHW.


    Other than that, I am impressed that you made a interchange.  I have also read all updates up to this point and I think you are doing a wonderful job here.  I will continue to follow your updates.

    Best,

    -Haljackey

    Hi Beebsy,

    I loved your update. Canada Sim City 4 version is very pretty. I'll have to see if it's really that pretty in real life 3.gif And yes, you love my poems. I'm not feeling very poetic right now, so next update 3.gif

    LOL! I really laughed out loud at that 3.gif Nice one VT
