The Greater Terran Region

[JakeMD 107]

As always haljackey you impress me with your complex interchanges and massive cities.

[nerdly_dood 26]

Great update! And that's an interesting interchange up there that I see uses the standard (aka OLD) RHW texture - not bad!

cool. keep up on the good work.

p.s. i think that this city would be worthy of the hall of fame!

[blue sinjid 7]

another awsome update!

[kj3400 178]

Things are looking up for the GTR. Can't wait to see how that looks at night!

[Hamish 1,370]

Can't think of much else to say, its all been said before. So, Good update. And its looking a little bit greener than usual.

[rushman5 33]

Excellent pictures as usual! I particularly love the design of the dual Churchill Plazas by tonks in that one picture, very creative! Please show more, and thanks fro the ongoing ideas (I'll start my own, just wait...)

[GreekMan 246]

Wow. What an excellent update. Sorry I do not post too much on your CJ. I have just been busy with university as you already know. Anyways your highway is as always the best you always seem to have the best transportation networks as well. I don't know how you do it but great job!

Cheers.

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Nope, never. I've come to expect better than a yellow pause thing.

The transit station has really revitalized that area of town! It was probably the closest thing to a "bad" area that Terran ever had, but now it looks just as great as the rest of the city.

[CasperVg 587]

It's one very nice update once again. Your transportation networks are extremely well-planned, I stand in awe!

[Haljackey 17,398]

Hello everyone, No update today, but I did want to get back to you about the Bullet Train Download.

APTX (the creator of the network) has stated that his Japanese site will go back online in October 2008.  Source:  https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=361.msg173377#msg173377

Lets hope he keeps his word.  This should be good news for all those who have asked about the network here or PMed me in the past about it.  I literally get a dozen requests or more about it every week, no joke!

Anyways I just wanted to let you know that its coming back!  It doesn't affect me because I already have it .

I plan to post a new update here tomorrow, just a heads up!

Best,

-Haljackey

Looking good as ever, hal! Ever consider making some giant parks?

[luudan 6]

[Hahayoudied 3]

I wonder how long can GTR can prosper before hitting some economical troubles?

Patricius Maximus:  Cramer, now thats a interesting fellow.  Yep with the addition of the station decay is gone!  It didn't take too long eh?  Thanks for the comments!

un1:  Yes I have.  Its been a while since a full update eh?  Hope it was worth it!

Theirishnintendonerd:  Hey, thanks a lot!  I love the skyscrapers too!

remanh:  Thanks!  See the post about the bullet train mod on page 40.  I think I got the old red sidewalks from SC4D.  (I use sandstone now)

SWAT-MEDIC:  Wow, thanks a ton!

nerdly_dood:  Great to see you back here!  Glad you like the old pics!

Ferrari_Spider:  Thanks a lot!  If you think this should be in the HOF, send a PM to their inbox and explain why!  Its difficult for active CJs to get inducted.

blue sinjid:  Thank you very much!

kj3400:  Yes they are.  I hope you enjoy the night update!

hamish:  No problem!  Greenspace is always being added to the GTR.

rushman5:  Thanks!  Glad the like the buildings and the ideas!

GreekMan:  Hey, thanks a lot!  Hope you like this update!

rusty_777:  Thanks for all your comments!  No problem!  I understand completely.

-Interested in making a Wiki article for Revelstoke?  I can help you!

edmonton_stinks:  Yeah, it tells you how old they were .  That station has turned bad to good once again!

caspervg:  Wow, thanks a ton Casper!  I hope you enjoy the next update!

haljackey:  Thanks for informing us about the bullet train mod

deion30296:  Awesome eh?  Ok I get it!

beebs:  Always great to see you here beebs!  Giant parks?  Hmm... Sound interesting.   You have intrigued me to make a large "national" park outside the city.

Jim1994:  Hehe... I hope you like it!

Hahayoudied: Indefinitely, I hope.  I will do what I can to keep the region prospering!

Update time!

What happens when the sun goes down?  This update!

Also, my Photobucket account is nearing capacity, so stop looking at my photos!

-This update was made with a new account, so look at this update all you want!

Picture Information:

NOTICE:  Please Read!

    Before I post some pictures of my cities, please know that I strive for the best quality of my images possible.  Every picture from here on-in is not photoshopped in any way, and is taken directly from the game to show you exactly what I see in the game.  The only editing done is converting the .PNG file to .JPEG.

***IMPORTANT***    Also, please know that my pictures are COMPRESSED, and are NOT RESIZED! When you resize a picture, a ton of the image's quality is lost, and is shrunk to comply with ST's picture size limits.  Compressing the image retains the quality, but looks terrible when squeezed to comply with site limits.

But, I have found a loophole in this problem.  Each compressed picture displayed will be linked to the actual uncompressed, true image.  All you have to do to view the image in its FULL RESOLUTION (1920x1200) is to simply click on the compressed image displayed in this city journal (800x500).  The reason that the images are not 800x600 is because I present my pictures in widescreen (16:10 aspect ratio), making the image much more appealing for the human eye's stereoscopic vision.

If you have any questions or comments about how I display my images, feel free to post a reply.

Click the images for full resolution! (1920x1200)

The downtown core overlooking the highway interchange:

Residential area (I like this photo a lot!)

Riverfront:

Northern CBD:

Cosmopolitan.

Industrial borderline.  Note how much darker the right side is.

I always like the twin towers lit up at night! 

Movie theatre close up.  Neat, eh?

Tower tops.

Overlooking the RHW.  I think this night shot is one of the most unique I have ever made!

Well, thats 10 images.  I really hope you enjoyed the night showcase!

Best,

awesome update here my friend !

[Patricius Maximus 236]

You can always create a new account, then switch to the old one  (and switch back ).

Anyway, I love the night update. I like the stack interchange, the residential area, the movie theatre, and especially the unique night shot.

Please keep us occupied with more great updates.

[Schulmanator 5,812]

[un1 41]

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

As always, your pictures are top notch. Are you using Gonzo's night mod? Whatever it is, it looks great! The first picture and "Cosmopolitan" are my favorites of the group.

[kj3400 178]

Some great night shots. It's kind of dark, though, but the skyscrapers look awesome.

[rusty_777 0]

I tried to find a picture that was my favorite. I just couldn't ....once again what an excellent update. Great work and your night shots are breathtaking. The lighting goes together perfectly. The first picture with the illuminated highway interchange is awesome. I can't wait for more.

Cheers.

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Wow, cool night shots! It's great when there's as much of a variety of skyscrapers as you have there, because all the different coloured lights look incredible in contrast with each other.
