Great stuff, love the Lantia Grand Rail Terminal. What railway is that part of?

[Need4Camaro 50]

Benedict - Yours... The SSRL is the only railline that services Lantia being that far south... ...The Grande Terminal... unless you're looking for an extension is the final station on the SSRL...

Small Update - 

This MIS upgrades are 75% complete in total... 

East/West Connector - 90% Complete

Newark Turnpike 101 Bypass - 60% Complete

[lilmanjs 2]

I loved the updates and all but with Lantia growing so big will it affect the city of Tuckaway?

[chriss 28]

Wow, Lantia has a better defined urban core than Newark Does. But that raises the question of when development is done by players and when its that type of development, I guess "general development?"

[Need4Camaro 50]

lilmanjs - If anything it helped it... Tuckaway sort of became a suhburb of Lantia and Lantia has a job market closer to Tuckaway than Newark does which opens alot more demand out there so Tuckaway also has alot more potential to grow...

chriss - Heh, I wouldn't call it general anymore... It's more of a city... but don't worry, Newark will catch up when I feel the time is right

[Shingure 56]

Is there a way to feature my town in a further update ? Or are my funds insufficent >.>

[MPTC 0]

If N4C Hasent changed the prices it would cost 50pts

[Need4Camaro 50]

Shingure - I havn't forgotten about your request, the only real reason that Lantia was updated sooner was because like myself, MPTC has access to Newark and is helping me with the project thus he has capabilities of performing his own updates... ... I will try to squeeze it in with the MIS updates which should be out very soon...

[lilmanjs 2]

well if anything I think this weekend I will work on updating Tuckaway to make it bigger. also what is happening with the transportation advisor job?

[kj3400 178]

Sorry about the delay, I was away this weekend and couldn't access the internet. The sign requests and the transit update will be tomorrow.

[Shingure 56]

I understand that perfectly. Waiting for your update and looking forwards to it.

[kj3400 178]

Good to hear.  A new RHW texture is out now that will help blend it with your avenue sections.  It is downloadable from SC4D this time only.  I have posted a picture in the Show Us Your Interchanges!  Thread (link in my signature) if you want an example of what it looks like. 

Anyways, nice developments everyone.  Looks like it is coming together quite nicely!

Best,

Those are the last two signs.

Need4Camaro- There you go.

Excellent about the MIS, too bad about the eye surgery.

And... just as a small addition...

100th post!!!

Accomplishment!!

That is all.

[mapmaker89 1]

Hi N4C and All!

I have been following this CJ for awhile (I read it from beginning to end) and figured that it was finally time for me to join in/help. It seems like so much work.

I figure that I could help with the score keeper position or the estimator position.

Great job on everything, BTW. It must be a TON of work to keep everything organized and keep up with your life at the same time.

Glad to help in any way I can.

-mapmaker89 or "map" for short

P.S. 1st post on Simtropolis!!

[Benedict 3,119]

Love the signs - great job.

Is there going to be two estimators or one??

Also, good luck with the eye surgery.

Can anyone help me with what's going wrong!!! The hole quote thing!!!

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

Great! The tower is payed off! I plan on making some more subburbs outside of Newark and Lantia.

Sorry i havent been present lately.

[Need4Camaro 50]

mapmaker89 - That would work VERY nicely for me!

Benedict - Thank you!

un1 - Can have up to three... just have to make sure you and him corrolate as to what you will be estimating the costs on...

______________________________

And now for a LONG awaited Update!

This MIS Conversion is COMPLETE so lets cut to the chase, we'll start where we left off just east of Lantia...

East West Connector

Exit 11 for Hwy 304 / Atlantic Drive...

The E/W Connector now has a larger during this rural farm strip...supporting speeds up to 70 MPH...

Exit 12 which leads into the rural Westin area.

Exit 13... ...This is originally the exit that Soni first entered the E/W Connector on during the beggining of the storyline...

NEW - Exit 14 now occurs in a once rural  strip of nothing but grass. This Exit leads to the new Hwy 39 which takes you into the North Western residential areas of Newark, and back to Tuckaway Highway near Defectia... providing a Northwest, Southeast divided highway to distribute traffic toward the city center...

The E/W - Connector now proceeds North temporarly... The acces controlled highway it passes over is Hwy 39... It actually only has 2 exits from this point and isn't a real freeway but becomes access controlled to distribute traffic to the new proposed Mall of Newark... This section of 39 uses the old pavement of the E/W Connector... The E/W Connector crosses over Exit 15 - Hwy 2 which has been upgraded into a divided avenue and proceeds over the SSRL...the large station seen here is the new and improved Tennington.

Closeup on Exit 15...

E/W Connector now proceeds over the SSRL and a local road... this is the area where the mall will be biult... The E/W Connector becomes divided by a concrete barrier while it prepares for Exit 16 - Hwy 37

Turning back East - We ride along side of the SSRL just north of the tracks as we pass over Exit 16 - Hwy 37. The Westbound exit ramps were distributed between Hwy 37 North and South to distribute local traffic from mall traffic...Mall traffic has 2 lanes...

The E/W Connector collects the lanes and prepares them for the next Exit...

Exit 17 allows access to a SSRL station

[Benedict 3,119]

Great update, Tennington looks amazing with the new station... looks like we need to do something about the trash in Blue Hope, though!

[mapmaker89 1]

Score Keepers - Your job is to keep an up to date score for each participating individual by analyzing the amount of posts they make between Score Updates aswell as a provide a monthly pay by accessing a database of deeds within a special photobucket provided by the Estimators of the Blue Hope City Journal. You will make a minimum of One Score Update every two weeks and provide the monthly pay at the end of every Month.

Points Paid - 300 Per Month.

quote>

Great!

Just a few questions:

1. This description says that  there will be a database of deeds...is that up and running yet?

2. Should I start from your last score posting?

3. The monthly pay is a CJ month, correct? If so, I'll look through the posts to see when you last issued the pay.

Thanks!

Also, un1, PM me and we'll talk about splitting the estimator job.

[un1 41]

mapmaker89 okay, N4C Great update!!! I've been waiting for this!!

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

how long did that take you?!?!

[MPTC 0]

There will be a new points posting tonight, my apologies for the delays

nmapmaker89: sorry not intruding on your position you will begin after this score update

Cordially

MPTC

[Haljackey 17,398]

Wow, what a huge update! 

Glad to see you found the new RHW textures!  They look great, eh?

One thing about your images.  Many of them seem blurry here because they are stretched or compressed to 800x600. 

I would highly suggest that you leave images smaller than 800x600 at their original resolution because they will just simply look better and clearer.

-For images over 800x600, resizing the image and/or providing a link to the full resolution image makes it much better for viewing. 

And it looks like you have a trash problem!  Get some snowplows out there to plow the garbage off your roads! 

That's all I have to say for now.  Great work!  The cloverleaf has to be my favorite photo for this update!

Best,

-Haljackey
