Update Time!

Well, if anyone didn't already know, Youtube has gone widescreen!  All my videos now have those stupid black bars on all sides because of the change...

But no longer!  I have uploaded SC4's first, true widescreen video, taking advantage of Youtube's new 16:9 player.  Enjoy!

Widescreen Video

A 16:9 Youtube video box should appear below.  If you can't see it or are having problems, follow the link below it.  Oh, and make sure you turn up your speakers!

[Jazzmaster 716]

You kids these days and your RHW 3.0

Lol nice job, I liked the song and the transport route

[TV-VCR 15]

Very good! It's nice to get away from the concrete jungle to the outdoors every once in a while. Good job with the transportation networks.

[Theirishnintendonerd 13]

Nice video/update hal! , Intresting to see what will be built there!

-Trevor

[kj3400 178]

You all just keep teasing!
It's all nice and empty, but knowing you, that won't be for long.
Oh, and congrats for Best Urban MD at SC4D, and everything else. You totally deserve it!

[Raysfan16 5]

Wow, that is awe inspiring. Great job!

[dfnva 34]

Nice video... not often that we see more of a rural or less-built up area like this in GTR. I like it.

-Dan

[Hamish 1,370]

[rainyday 2]

great video

[GreekMan 246]

WOW i like that vid!!!!

driving around GTR nice~

[LE0 5]

Nice video!

Where did you get those yellow signs like the left curve, merge, etc

Are they on the edge of a lot or can you put them anywhere like mayor trees?

If they are on a lot, is it transparent or grass?

thanks

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Your Super Moasic is Super Impressive.

I especially like the Vero Tower in pride of place at the top...  I see that everyday when I drive to work...  it is the second tallest building in Auckland next to the Sky Tower...  unless you want to be pendantic and call the Sky Tower a structure.

[Fresh Prince of Wmbg 44]

Nice video, hal!  The new avatar look great too, Chirstmas Vacation is one of my favorite movies.

BTW- Who the artist who made the song?

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

wow, great video hal! hoping to see more vids

[thinboy66 6]

Great video, Hal. Last update  your mosaic was INCREDIBLE! The video is just ,... so HD. I'm speechless....

PS: Congrats on being Member of the Month!

[suplado! 23]

wow -- awesome video, hope to see more of them soon

[CasperVg 587]

Oh yes, it was a great video to watch, especially in High Definition. Congrats on being MOTM, it's well-deserved.

[Tomasneto 20]

Wow, cool video!!! Great!!

[futurama2506sim 7]

This is very good! You should make more cities like that.

[PhilsCafe 8]

I promised to comment on your update no. 101, I'm sorry, Hal. I like your use of the wider RHW and the HSR. Amazing transportation networks as usual... I probably would be totally lost on these streets though . Wow, and that mosaic looks awesome. Cool vid too. Huge updates there!

Update Time!

Well, that's it.  I've used up all the land in Terran Settlement.  This update will showcase what's going there and how the city is dealing with "full build-out" capacity.

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 SC4D's picture size limits (800x600 STRONGLY recommended for MD's).  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 Mayor's Diary (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.

Pictures

Click on the images for full resolution!  (1920x1200)

Here we see the last remaining chunk of land.  It has been zoned nearly 100% residential due to the high demand for housing.

Although at first, it seems no one wants to move in.  

But, the construction boom eventually begins.

Looking at the main connection that will feed the new residential area.  It has been widened significantly to prepare for higher volumes.

The city seems to be climbing out of the recession quite nicely!

The riverfront skyline has rebuilt itself.  It's odd to see repetitive buildings, but I'm betting they will be replaced by others soon enough.

A zoom-out of the industrial area with the road improvements.  The overpass and diagonal RHW ramp have now been completed, and should really alleviate traffic congestion.

Looking at the large "expressway" intersection.  I may use RHW 3.0 to transform it due to the abundant space.  The rail overpass may also be converted to a El-RHW.

I am using a new alpha build of RHW 3.0, and it seems to have correctly generated the long-awaited RHW-OWR transition!

...And I'll end the update with a pic overlooking the rail junction.  The forest seems to be recovering from the fire.

That's it for now!  I'm planning on making another High-def video, which, if done in time, will be in the next update!

Best,

-Haljackey

[blue sinjid 7]

Wow,that is great GTR is recovering from a recession !~ On another note, I do indeed have the wilow tree executive plaza I wanted XD. As I want to point out again,RHW3 will be awesome! So much new additions like this new RHW-OWR!

[Kevin 101]

Very cool... your transportation networks continue to impress. Well done hal
