The gridded pattern with the occasional stray is looking good!

Good job, I couid find my way to work and back home on your map.Avery good rendition of my home town.Your street and cityblock look allmost like part of my neighborhood thank you for sharing your work

[Mr. Beer 12]

amazing! simply... And Philadelphia (the suburbs particulary) will not be easy to do, they aren't orthogonaly gridded. I'm waiting for the King Of Prussia Mega Mall ;-)

Cheers!

Wow i'm impressed. The map and the developement are looking really good!

Any chance that you upload the final terraformed version of the map? ( without developement of course )

[Za 164]

Wow, simply 'mazin'. That's all I can say. I'd never attempt something like that.

[Abc987 3]

Incredible detail, can't wait to see some buildings!!

[Hester 700]

I really can't wait for more. :-)

This is really cool! I also live in the suburbs, up the Schuylkill a ways in a little town called Phoenixville. I don't think you'll make it that far though, prolly won't be room.

But I can recognize and name streets! You're doing really good!

[Hanson784 165]

Wow! Very impressive work. Looks like you done some extensive planning for this CJ. Can't wait to see when you start placing buildings.

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

OHHH, I philly is a cool town, would love to see the city like I do when I visit from New Jersey. Looking good, I hope you can pull off the hisorical areas and museams and things.  

Ill keep an eye on this

As a Philadelphian Resident I would say everything is on key and accurate. I understand that the Sunken Highway ON/OFF Ramp for Vine St. Expressway hasnt been created yet. Anyway just for the Record my School is on North Broad Street. Not too far from Spring Garden.

Update 5:

More of the same.

Region view

With transportation map

Intersections like this will have to wait until the NWM/MIS come out, at which point I will convert all highways to RHW.

Earth ramps for ground highway overpasses

It also appears I have encountered some sort of problem.  More info here: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=124&threadid=92078&enterthread=y

Ask and you shall receive.  I've also included the original grayscale map.  (Note that regions are not allowed to be uploaded to the STEX.)

[Mr. Beer 12]

Cool road layout! You can use for your freeway the one-way roads and the NAM bridge's puzzle piece for building your interchange... Btw hope to see Phily growing!

Hehe. Yes, actually i meant the greyscale etc. But I thank you very much for that link.

I was looking at that picture you had the real areal veiw of the intersection that you wanted to make. Here is the rundown (I've been throught this interssection/interchange soo many times). If you want to make it really realistic, than notice the two railways on both sides of the highway that is on the bottom of the picture (I-76). The highway near the bottom is lowwer than the train tracks (the tracks are on ground not elevated) so you will need to get hole digging lots to make it completly realistic. Now you can't do everything it that picture of the areal veiw and in philadelphia so live with it. There is an open tunnel running through the middle of the main comercial part of the city that has a road going above it in the same direction and it has an open side to the river. I will wish you good luck but I think it will be very hard.

[capitol1 1]

wow thats a rpetty crazy nice setup you got going good luck with this one.

[Hester 700]

I am SO happy to come back and find this much done! YEA!!!!!!!!

[dfnva 34]

Wow, that must be a lot of work trying to recreate all these roads, but it looks and great and is realistic. I've never done a recreation of a real city, but rather loosely base it off of a real city, but I alway fill in my roads first so I can figure out where to put everything.

At any rate, I'll look forward to more.

I like fictional cities better, though.

[Philadelphia 25]

Don't forget about the Philly international airport!

[tjh876 31]

Well KPHL is in Philadelphia and Delaware County. So it would be Philadelphia and surrounding areas.
