[jacqulina 162]

wow excellent how do you get the really frothy bit on the waterfall

[rooker1 4]

Good evening everyone,  I have some very exciting pics, I hope you all agree and comment good or bad.

 

jaqulina- It seems that you and a few others are the only ones enjoying my Cj and pics.  Anyways the waterfall is from peg and you need to raise or lower the tile to the correct hieght for it to look right.  I hope this makes sense and helps you.

 

Wait no more here are the pics.

Good night.

[Cjah 15]

Now that is an awesome old world port!It has the boats and everything!I like the railways and the new breakwaters!These areas really look realistic!

Can't wait for more update!

[jacqulina 162]

excellent port,fantastic close up pics have you any night pics,and thankyou for your help

[MoJooo 0]

This CJ looks lovely.  Your Pics are wonderful.  Could you post one of your region again, so we can see the whole as it is now.

I just love your style.

 

Mojooo

[Traffic_Jam 0]

Excellent work!

[Glenni 1,447]

ditto traffic cam

[TheCrybKeeper 301]

No worries Glenni; you have a new fan, in me.

First I should say: someone said on the first page of your CJ, they had never heard of an airport along a river. In America we have many like that. Including DC international airport pointing directly into the Patomic river, where a plain crashed in the 90's, if you are familiar with US current and past events.

Second: I love the buildings and I know of NO city in the world, that is without delapidated realestate. Keep them and let the sitizens, of your fine city, do as they will.

Third: The images are superb! I like how you caught the airplane in image 17.1! So few Simtropolians get planes and helicopters into the frame. I simply love it!

Fourth: this is a top ten CJ, in my opinion! You must remember; I have only been a simtropolian myself now, for 6 weeks. Yet I am fully impressed with your camera work!

Fifth and final words: This CJ is rated 90% by Adonai Graphics LTD.

I will come back for more Glenni.

Peace. frndofyaweh

[rooker1 4]

Hello

 

Wow, what a surprise, I am very glad so many people commented.  This is very unexpected, but very welcomed.

 

Anyways,

 

Cjah-Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like what you see, it took me a very long time to get it just right and still I'm not sure if it is perfect.The break walls were bugging me when the boats would sail right through the break wall, so I decided to try and build up the ground and plant trees and to my surprise if you are very careful the fishing horbour won't get destroyed in the process.  Thanks again.

 

Jacqulina- thnks you for the comment and no problem with the help, I just hope you understood me and it worked for you.

 

MoJooo-Great, a new commer, this is awesome, I really hope you visit and comment again.  Also the pic I posted is for you, enjoy.

 

Traffic Jam-Great to hear from you, I am glad you like what you see.

 

GLENNI-Pointless or not, thanks for the visit.

 

frndofyaweh-Wow you definatley have an opinion about my CJ, this is great.  My CJ is suppose to be realistic, but I want to make it fun also, so if there are very few airports near water, than that is okay by me.  The delapidated buildings right now are not my big concern as I am concentrating on building the city first and repairing any big problems as I go when I can. The majoity of the fine tuning will be done later, at the end, than I will go over the whole city again and show everyone the finally product.

As for the images, only if you Knew how many pics I really take, OMG. Top ten CJ, Thank you very much, that is the best comment I have recieved so far and I humbly disagree there are some Cj's I wish I was half as good as them.  But I strive to be, thanks again.   This CJ is rated 90% by Adonai Graphics LTD what do you mean by this and where does this info come from and who are they?

By the way, my name is rooker1 not GLENNI, but no biggy.

Everyone enjoy the city pics, please.  Population @260000 sims now.  I fully expect a huge population jump for the next post because I'll be working on alot of residential over the next day or so.

 

Good night, enjoy and comment please.

 

 

[Cjah 15]

Man your airport is awesome!I guess I'm going to have to disagree with you Rooker1.This C.J. is top 10 quality!I'm not sure what his rating is,but that is also high praise as well I asume.I really like the look of your cities aswell.Again very realistic.Coutinue this great C.J. with your head held high!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

[rooker1 4]

Good Morning, I don't usually reply without any pics so I'm sorry but I'm really glad more people are commenting and are enjoying the pics.  I'm really excited that some people think my CJ is top ten material, I had no idea.  In the next set of pics I am trying to kick it up a notch.  I'll post tonight or tomrrow morning.  Thanks Cjah for the words of incouragement.  This type of stuff really keeps me going.

[jacqulina 162]
