[kj3400 178]

Wow, It's really been a while since I've been here if you've hit 1000 replies! That's a cause for celebration! Who's bringing the cake?

That is one long highway. Where does it go from the tunnel? And there is a lot of emptiness. Must be boring for the commuters, huh?

[Deionn 137]

[Patricius Maximus 236]

New update scheduled when SC4D returns!quote>

Can't wait for it.

[068664663 2]

Yay! Although Patricius Maximus doesn't seem too enthusiastic...

[Patricius Maximus 236]

I'm enthusiastic. Just not hysterical. Perhaps I used the wrong punctuation.

[suplado! 23]

wow -- 1k+ congrats and hope to see the update soon!!

futurama2506sim:  Mayoring?  Is that even a word?  Thanks a lot!

Interchange:  Thanks!  Glad you liked the video! Check out the "Show Us Your Videos" thread in City-building concepts to find out how to make videos in SC4!  (Using a computer screen capture program, not a camera)

un1 (2):  Search "Highway" on the STEX and you should find a ton of them!

-Thanks for being the 1,000th replier!

edmonton_stinks:  Just missed out eh?  Ah well.  Thanks for the comments!  As I said, this is an old highway, but its always being upgraded!

Patricius Maximus:  Thanks a lot!  2,000?  Now that's something to shoot for

-Glad you are still enjoying the updates!

Fresh Prince of Wmbg:  Why thank you!

068664663:  Hehe.... Thanks!

n-m-2k8-yeah:  Geesh, enough Smilies?  Thanks for the comment!  One bridge does span between two city tiles (the really long first one in the video).

Patricius Maximus (2):  Ah, good old forum bug.  I've seen The GTR pop up in just about every section of the site.

un1:  Yeppers.  I guess it counts as advertising if you will.

dedgren:  Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for the comment!

Jim1994:  Why thank you

kj3400:  It has been a while, but you picked the perfect moment to return!  Thanks for all the comments!

-From the tunnel, the highway heads into rural, undeveloped parts of the region.  Its boring (for now anyways).

deion30296:  Hehe... Thanks!

Patricius Maximus (3): What? The site upgrade or my update

068664663 (2):  Hehe...  Maybe so.

Update time!

Well, its been done.  The GTR has exceeded 1,000 comments!  Thanks everyone for your interest and support! 

I am showcasing a new city now that this milestone has been achieved.  I did show a part of this city in another update, but now its time to reveal it to you, as well as something special.  The city's name is Witburg, and is located just to the right of Downtown. It is the transit hub of the region.

City:

Transport: (again, note the absence of the RHW)

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.

A growing CBD begins to overshadow the RHW with GLR in its median.

A large highway interchange has direct links to both the station itself and the parking lots.

A new highway interchange at the edge of the developed area.

Anyways, that does it for this update!  I hope you enjoyed Witburg!

Best,

Wow, lots of parking decks and el-trains. Looks neat.

[Patricius Maximus 236]

Looks great, especially the FAR.

Looking forward to the next update, and 20 000 views.

[Goldfish4209 9]

Wow, nice job! Where do I get the FAR?

[edmonton_stinks 5]

Nice update! Excellent job on the rail.

[Deionn 137]

Goldfish4209: The FAR and FARR are currently in testing for problems/glitches/crash causing problems.

[un1 41]

Nice new town, haljackey. No!! Don`t tease us with the NAM now. Or you might lose all of your repliers. And, is that a house I see in pic 7!!?? (That is something you don`t see everyday in the GTR. )

-un1

[remanh 1]

Witburg looks nice

BTW-is that white building on the bottom of the central station pic an indoor ski slope?

[CasperVg 588]

Looks like you've outdone yourself again, the transit hub/town looks splendid. I like those pedestrian/bike streets too. Well done

[Hamish 1,370]

You must be the luckiest person alive, I would love to be able to use the FAR update before everyone else. You, have to use it more often. I almost didn't see it, and wouldn't have if you didn't mention it. Great update.

[kj3400 178]

Nice transit hub. It isn't very nice to tease us with FAR, though.  Good work anyway.

[068664663 2]

Good work, haljackey! I like the stations. However, I would enjoy it much more if somebody could tell me what FAR actually is!!!!

[cheese91 9]

I don't think I've ever visited your CJ, but I'm glad I did! Everything looks wonderful, I can tell you put a lot of work into it.

I love the second picture.

Keep it up!

-Addie

[pagenotfound 53]

Dense and well assembled. And nice use of the FAR!

[wishfulanthony 3]

Nice layout of your city, hal... It really looks fantastic to see suburbia grow into a metropolis! I like the residential and commercial towers going hand in hand with one another... Quick question: how will I get the bullet line, and what dependencies are needed for the bike paths? (The bike paths end up having brown boxes when i try to install them... )

[flyinbird93 2]

All of that looks really nice, especially the FAR use.  Do you really get that much usage from your highways and trains to need that many tracks?

[dj's girl 0]

It's some really neat pics.

[jacqulina 162]

great region pic there my friend,your city is growing well,excellent transport system.
