Hey everyone! Here is update 41! This is the last update until the new year! It is update 1 of 2 of this county.

For the first time, I have included sunken rail and sunken highways. That is all that will be included in this part of the 2 updates of this county. And also for the first time, I have created a county with lots of cities into one tile. This is called Goodson County. 

If you have any comments, questions or tips for me, please, dont hesitate to tell me. I hope you enjoy this update.

Nice work. I love the sunken rail line.

[anarchy0029 2]

I love the pics of the sunken highway and rail. Your design has flourished excellently. Happy New Years Dude.

The sunken railroad looks really nice in the rural area. I also like all the labels for your roads and highways. Especially seeing I-134 in another CJ. Hopefully that means I-34 is somewhere nearby helping one to get to the state of Massopax.

wow -- really nice sunken rail and highway -- blend well with the surrounding farm and rural town!!

[Zelgadis 638]

The sunken rail integrates well with the countryside.

As for the highway, it looks good too! But there appears to be a lump in it... Perhaps flattening it out with some street tiles?

Nice update man! I don't recall seeing sunken rail before - nice touch. And of course the sunken highway is also cool.

[bbfan02 23]

Giligone- Thanks a lot!

Anarchy0029- Thanks a lot my friend. It means a lot to me. I try to improve every update. Happy new years back to you.

Dfnva- Hey, thanks a lot! Yeah, I try to make it realistic as possible by labeling. I just made up that number.

Suplado!- Thanks a lot my friend!

Zelgadis- Hey, thanks a lot! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll correct and include it in the next update.

Schulmanator- Thanks!

Shanna- Thanks for the great comment my friend!

Penguin007- Thanks!

City2TheMax- Hey, thanks for the comment! You can have sunken rail, monorail and highway. It is very special and a very nice asset to any type of city.

Excellent work with the sunken rail and Highway!

[jacqulina 162]

happy new year

[LarksTonguesInAspic 28]

some very interesting flora mods, very nice. I see another fan of the Columbus terrain mod as well! LOL we could all start a thread...

[bbfan02 23]

Hey everyone! Well, being bored and all, I screwed around with the effects on Irfanview. I think I stumbled upon something. Well yes or no, do you like the effect to the picture below? Which one?

OR

[anarchy0029 2]

The top one has a very clear effect. The other one looks like it was laminated w/ something. Just curious, how did you get those roads straight when you cross the highway? I like the work you did.

[The_Hutt 11]

The top one looks like a really poor-quality Google Earth overview. The second one offers more visibility, but isn't really particularly interesting.

[Zelgadis 638]

I prefer the top one. The bottom one looks simply like the brightness was set too high.

Though I don't think either would be good to use all the time. Once in awhile is fine though.

[suplado! 23]

well -- i also like the 1st pic...!! the effect is nice...

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Wow - great pics. Those seasonal trees look great the way you've clumped them together! Look forward to more.

[jacqulina 162]

i prefere the top one my friend.

happy new year

[City2TheMax 3]

The first pic is better. The second one just doesn't do it for me.

[androidboi 57]

Awesome. I love your infrastructure.

I think the top one is better hhehe

[Nardo69 51]

Ahh raised or sunken railways are always a good idea but there are a few points I don't like:

- Don't use walls at the very flat parts of the sunken railway -

- on the pic with the poles you laid the railway in a trench then get out of the trench with a very  steep slope then over the highway and again back on flat ground.

Not good at all:

Stay with the railway in the trench and lead the highway over the railway. If necessary increase the elevation of the street. It is always the street / road / avenue / highway taht goes up and down, never the railway!

Check my tutorial (link is in my sig) to learn why

Another thing I don' t link is the bump of the highway at the I-134 sign. just keep it flat in the trench - I really don't see any reason for such a bump.

Despite of that I like those pics - lots of nice details to the left and right of the railway / highway!

Happy New Year 2008

Anarchy0029- I got the road straight using the puzzle pieces of the newest NAM. I tabbed through them and just plopped them where I wanted them to go. Hopefully I answered your question!

The_Hutt- So, which one do you like better? Thanks for your opinion.

Zelgadis- Thanks for the opinion! I know it cant be all the time!

Suplado!- Thanks for the opinion!

Damn, you did a damn good job bbfan. I like the way you designed the streets.

[MandelSoft 2,775]
