Whoaaaaaaaa.... AMAZING Video!

This was my favorite interchange because I like how the Ground Highway gradually slopes from its sunken state to collect the onramp...

Btw in regards to your response to warrior...

Rail over RHW IS functional although it has to be done slightly differently... You have to reverse the RHW tile so it looks as if it's going the wrong way. Basically the RHW tile is textured in the wrong direction for the Railroad crossing so if it looks like the RHW is going North, you put the Northbound piece onthe Southbound side and sims will use it fine. 

That or you can just convert it into an avenue / one way - biuld the bridge and reconvert to RHW... Shouldn't hurt commute times by that much. 

Your RHW is very inspiring, I love the way it can transform into ground/elevated highway and still have elevated highway interchanges and it still looks completely natural.

    Nexis: Thanks a lot!

    Explodingsims:  Thanks!  Sunken highways are not really my thing, it does look good in this spot!

    thinboy66 (1): Hey, thanks a lot for your comments!

    -I got the streetlights here:  https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=10960

    un1:  Thanks!  Gotta love the NAM!  That is one of the WTC towers (3 or 4 I think).  I would try searching WTC or World Trade Center on the STEX and see what comes up.

    Smarty218:  Thanks Smarty!

    ky72x:  Thanks!  Glad you like the curves and the parks!

    edmonton_stinks:  Hey, thanks a lot!

    kj3400:  Hehe... I can't be THAT good and you THAT bad!

    Patricius Maximus:  Thanks!  Glad you like the video!

    un1:  Thanks for flipping the page!

    Twenty20:  Ya, me too.  Thanks!

    Need4Camaro:  Glad you like the video and the updates!

    -Ya I know about the "backwards flip" for the puzzle piece, but I am waiting for a fix to be made.  Once it is fixed, you will have to replace all your overpasses because they too are backwards!

    collgab:  Great, thanks!

    rusummer1:  Thanks!  That's APTX's bullet train skin for the monorail network.  Although, is Japanese site is down right now...

    thinboy66 (2):  Thanks again!  Many of the tall buildings were found here on the STEX or SC4D's LEX.

    -I would select the "popular" or "highest rated" tabs on the STEX to find some of those awesome buildings!

    Fresh Prince of Wmbg:  Glad to see ya back!  As I stated in my introduction, I use the super demand mod for commercial office only.  That seems to create a more realistic demand IMO.


    Good News And Bad News...

    Thanks for your replies everyone!  Sorry I took so long to get back to you, I've been quite busy recently.  I have some good news and bad news to share with you:

    The Good News!

    If you look at my signature, you can see that I have a new link:

    *NEW!* Haljackey's SC4 Archives @ SC4D *NEW!*

    I have made a thread containing many of my SC4 Archives and old photos.  Many of these pictures are set in the early days of the Greater Terran Region (GTR), and you can get a glimpse of how this region started a bit.  The cities that you may find there are Downtown and Crossings.  I still haven't posted pictures of Crossings here yet, but you can find some there and in the Show Us Your Interchanges! Thread.

    The Bad News...

    I have been having some computer problems recently.  While surfing the net not too long ago, my computer froze and I had to restart.  When I restarted I had no picture on the screen. 

    I tried a different monitor.  No picture.  I tried another graphics card.  No picture.  I t

    Sorry to hear about your computer, something similar had also happened to me - with the addition of the processor as well as the graphics card.

    Take your time in fixing everything, we'll be awaiting for the return of the Greater Terran Region!

    SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

    I hope you will find a motherboard or new computer, and I hope your files are still intact.

    I hope it won't take too long, Hal. I loved this CJ and all the updates in it.

    I am awaiting the Return of the Greater Terran Region!

    Great Updates....Bad news...

    But, at least if you get a new Motherboard, you can copy the information over to a new Hard Drive. So, hopefully this hiatus won't be too long
