    No problem, that way I can choose the station locations form the pictures myself 2.gif Although if it is not too hard to do perhaps I could purchase the track to the east of the urban area in preparation of building a transit line? Thanks

    who here thinks that updates should be done like a newspaper. you have the more important things on the front page and such. anyone like the idea?

    well with the rural highway its not limited access at all. its a highway that I want to build out west to spur development so that people will start building houses and such. when I say that this is a rural highway there are no exits and if you start a city on the highway most likely the highway will be your main street.

    lilmanjs - I'd really need to think about that as it might make updating harder... Not to stir you or anyone off but updating on a project this massive isn't a walk in the park as is... and thank you for the rural highway information, I should have costs for that by tonight...

    willg - I'll get you a quote for that tonight aswell

    Alright and now for the next update to settle some requests...

    First off, E350TB has been waiting for quite some time for the foundation of his factory...  

    e350tbFactory.jpg

    e350tbFactory2.jpg

    Industrial Factory
    Dense Industrial 9
    Near Expressway 0.2
    Near Freight Line 0.2
    Factory Employees 265
    Expenses
    Purchase & Monthly Cost 8.1
    Income
    CJ Monthly Income 62
    Minimum Monthly Income 186
    Total Monthly Income 177.9

    and your deed...
    Congratulations on your second purchase my friend!

    BrittiannaHoldingFactoryDeed.jpg
    ----

    Now to satisfy WillG's request!

    The quote for your first development...

    Road Tiles 58
    Street Tiles 23
    Light Residential Tiles 44
    Medium Residential Tiles 85
    Dense Residential Tiles 16
    Light Commerce Tiles 12
    Medium Commerce Tiles 15
    Dense Commerce Tiles 5
    Park Tiles 94
    Near Expressway 0.2
    Expenses
    Cost for Roads 13.9
    Cost for Zoning 87.1
    Cost for Parks 47
    Residential Grant 60
    Commercial Grant 40
    Cost to Biuld 48
    Monthly Expenses 148
    Income
    Road Income 8.1
    Zone Income 209
    Park Income 188
    CJ Monthly Income 405.1
    Minimum Monthly Income 1215.3
    Total Monthly Income 1067.3

    And here's what it will look like...

    Willg1.jpg

    I'd ask Iamihop11 for a loan or perhaps schop institute for donations for the parks... if you don't deside to purchase it... It will grow as city property (because I honestly had to biuld it before I could quote you due to terrain restrictions to see what was possible) and you will recieve no points benefit from it until you purchase it later...

    and for your second development..

    ... is...

    Road Tiles 23
    Street Tiles 10
    Light Commerce Tiles 24
    Medium Commerce Tiles 32
    Dense Commerce Tiles 19
    Park Tiles 0
    Near Expressway 0.2
     
    Expenses  
     
    Cost for Roads 5.6
    Cost for Zoning 38.9
     
    Residential Grant 60
    Commercial Grant 40
     
    Cost to Biuld + 55.5
    Monthly Expenses 44.5
     
    Income  
     
    Road Income 3.3
    Zone Income 150
     
    CJ Monthly Income 153.3
    Minimum Monthly Income 459.9
    Total Monthly Income 415.4

    And will look like this...

    Willg2.jpg

    You will actually see a Point GAIN for developing this portion of your development due to the Grants covering all charges and even awarding you...

    ....Now for iamihop11's requests!

    iamihop11.jpg

    Over view of the Western Terminus of 202/A2 with a grid

    iamihop11-2.jpg

    Eastern Side of the Terminus near the stadium

    iamihop11-3.jpg

    Western Side of the Terminus...

    Keep in mind that 202 is Limited Access from its terminus at Atlantic drive so the can be no intersecions before Atlantic Drive... Also I do have a plan for making Atlantic Drive a divided highway but nothing on the NORTH portion will be affected, just closer to the beach...

    iamihop11-4.jpg

    Overview of your park for easier planning...

    ... Now for lilmanj's request...

    This is the proposed route for Tuckaway Highway, it will be Rural Highway standards with a shallow median (no tiles in between)...

    TuckawayHighwayRoute.jpg

    ... and the total cost for that will be...

    Tuckaway Highway  
     
    Rural Highway Tiles 500
     
    Expenses  
     
    Total Expenses 250
     
    Income  
     
    CJ Monthly Income 250
    Minimum Monthly Income 750
    Total Income 500

    Will you or Tuckaway transportation be responsible for the construction of this route? and will there be any intersection with Lantia Parkway?

    Tell me when you're ready to proceed with construction...

    I like the idea of a newspaper set-up. It might also provide opportunities to advertise in a format that other ppl might read, for example, IHOPe Trusts, or The Schop Institute, which needs donations to keep running. What about this idea: Could someone (or a group of someones) buy the newspaper and then sell advertisement space? I dunno, maybe this is going a bit far. Thanks for the pics, by the way. I'm scheming as I type 4.gif

    Although I like the idea of a newspaper, I am against anything that slows the updates down. And with some of the earnings potential here, as folks gain points they'll be coming up with more and more for need4camaro to do...

    iamihop11 - I don't mind the idea so long as I don't have to make the paper lol. I'm already at my limits as is with getting everything together for the website and keeping up with projects while working with real life... ... You or anyone can simply PM me for important news lines and I'll give you a basic summary for news topics and articles of whats going on in the area...

    KingTitan - Thank you, and I think the Highway Lights look bad in areas because they're over proportioned, they're too tall... in some cases even taller than SC4's skyscrapers... But not by much. They were biult upon request of Tuckaway Transportation and they DID pay for them so don't shoot the messenger 2.gif.. Oh yes and they actually do exist in the setup presented on A2... For instance, in Illinoise, on I-55 from Boling Brook to Downtown Chicago, they have Highway Light Towers for the entire portion, maybe 20ish miles non-stop...Not just for interchanges but along side the actual freeway too.  Also there's an electronic tollway in Canada I think in Toronto (or Montreal I forgot which) that has those same towers in the center of the expressway for its entire length too so it IS realistic...

    e350tb - Cool, batting?

    ObladiOblada - Yes coming this update...

    jacqulina - Thank you...

    Benedict - So long as another party takes responsability upon it and simply emails me or PM's me requests for news summaries, it shouldn't slow me down... now if I PERSONALLY had to make a newspaper article EVERY update and formulate everyones development into a news article... then yes it would TREMENDOUSLY slow me down... which is why I'm not going to partake in anything further than giving summaries and topics to a sole organization...

    willg - Erm just so you know, you havn't purchased either of those developments yet, those were just for reference base only... I need to know if you want to proceed with purchase and development before I can deduct points and hand over your deed, look at your points below aswell to see if you'll beable to afford them... you'll only need to look at the Cost To Biuld... you'll actually GAIN 55 points for development of your commerce sector... if it still isn't enough, consult with IHop E Trusts and maybe they can get you a loan..

    that plan looks good and tuckaway transportation will be the construction of the highway. yoshiisland is thinking of giving 2000 points to tuckaway transportation later. the highway will be called rural highway GG. here is the standard that we are using for the naming of highways. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Numbered_Highways

    willg - Okay, I'll get a few for you on the next update... Also your current developments need water to develop properly, would you like to pay me 20 Points to water both developments? (10 Points per Development)

    MPTC - I'll be waiting... Oh also, how much is everyone paying you for water deals?

    lilmanjs - I'm confused, I've never seen an American Highway that started with a letter... besides Florida's A1A the runs down the eastern coast...  But thats a state road... Where's the GG come from?

    I can water your devopments for free Willg, as long as I am the sole provider.

    Sorry about my lack of posts but I have not seen much reason to do so lately; when I get some more points I will post a bit more.

    MPTC - Heh sorry but which lot? You mean that farm near Linaton?

    CTF - Okay, do you desire to water everything East of those developments? There isn't any water source past the old terminus of Highway 202/6

    For this Miniupdate, I'll be satisfying a couple of requests... Mainly for Willg

    First lets have a look at the current status of his development...

    PepiereViews.jpg

    and

    Brayedevalle.jpg

    They both need water to grow properly...

    and as for your request...

    EWConnWestEnd6.jpg

    EWConnWestEnd.jpg

    EWConnWestEnd2.jpg

    EWConnWestEnd5.jpg

    EWConnWestEnd3.jpg

    EWConnWestEnd4.jpg

    Those are the photos you requested of the farms near the East West Connector's terminus... This is the western terminus, near Lantia and Tuckaway...

    in the state of missouri they use letters for rural highways more than numbers. I drive to my grandmother's house all the time from kansas to missouri so that's where the GG comes from. I also just wanted something that would stand out and would make people build around.
