Great city, excellent.

I love the airport.

[jacqulina 162]

amazing work you have done great start and pics,allready looking very nice,the airport is fantastic my friend

[Peng74 1]

Great looking region shot, and i like the sprawling 'burbs and farm land.

Thats one crazy airport! But nice use of the space, especially using all those little islands.

Any chance of seeing some of the farm areas?

[KingTitan 6]

Very nice city journal there friend. I love the size of your region, lot's to play onto. I love your story intoduction as well. Great Stuff.!

A couple things i hope you don't mind me saying to help possibly improve it even more:

1. Go to the STEX and search diagonal tree fillers. These will smooth out the patch look along your diagonal streets.

2. Also, try out some custom plops such as rocks, shrubs etc, and even some sea-walls alnong your shores.

3. When taking pics.. two things I would do. Minimize the games tool bar by using the ( - ) in the left bottom corner. This will make the pictures less busy with game graphics tool bar. And before taking the pic, use CTRL + X , then type in "zoneria', This will eliminate the colored futured zoned areas.

These are just suggestions, of course you present it the way you want. I wentr through the same drill myself. LOL

Other than that friend. it looks amazing and shows intense promise. I like it a lot.

Wow, that is a pretty big city! I like the custom stuff, but it's far more interesting to look at your road system. The diagonals and winding-ness (heh, is that a word?) are great to look at! Keep up the good work

[Ded 30]

The Klondike map is a fun one to play... I never considered putting an airport where yours is... But thats a great place for it!

[gabry85 2]

Wow, building an airport there had to be very challenging, but that's a great and inspiring work! Also I like the region, the downtown and the farmlands!

Luv it! Yes, sir!!

[nottheboss 1]

highly realistic and plenty of updates

well done!

[Superchan 23]

thank you for your comments everyone, they are appreciated

a bit of info about the next update, it wont be coming for a little while, ive been a little busy with school, and other stuff, plus i need to get some old computers ready for ebay, but i will work on the update asap.

[politicman 1]

I like your CJ so cool with many beautiful pictures !!

[Benedict 3,119]

This is a great start - your region view is nicely developed with room to grow. I'm not a big airport fan in general, however I think you have done a very clever placement close to downtown on those islands/sandbanks. An original idea.

[jacqulina 162]

looking forward to that update my friend

[Superchan 23]

yea, ive been busy with school, and other stuff at the moment, might be a while till that update, but it will come someday.

EDIT: the update is being worked on i did quite a bit of work actualy since i upgraded from 512mb to 1.5gb, so sc4 runs faster, but i think the ram (which was my bros before he replaced his mobo, cpu, and ram) is bad or my motherboard might be bad but it works, the update will be delayed though, cause i wont have internet till saturday, and wont be home again till sunday, im editing this at school during free time.

[boon1234 9]

Awesome stuff!

Some minor things-put trees, parks, or seawalls on the coast of your donwtown or very populated areas. Its a bit strange having dense population go straight into plain banks.

Saying that, I loved your airport and the planning of your city. Very good work.

[Superchan 23]

i might do that, i might put the CDK on there, but for now im not gonna work to much on it, cause my POS computer is messed up, i had 1.5gb but now it only recognizes 1gb, and i get lots of freezes for no reason, im sure my pos motherboard is bad so an update wont happen for a while, plus im getting very p'ed off today.

[Twenty20 28]

Great region !

Your city is very impressive, and your airport too.

Awesome work.

[RJN 1]

Great Downtown,Awesome Regional view, nice airport. Good Job!

Update 5: Suburbs and Farmland part 2

[Superchan 23]

Mini-Update

here is an updated region view

here is a transportation view

any thoughts, comments, or questions are appreciated

[dbranch 0]

HOw about some trees on those blank grass lots?  That would make it much more aesthetically pleasing.  Can you turn shadows on b4 taking pics?  That would make a big difference too.  Great region transport shot. 

[Cockatoo 2,256]

You know, it would really help if you just turned the off menu and took your screenshots when the simulation was running so you don't get the yellow border, that can be really annoying sometimes.

Also, dbranch is right, those blank lots really need some custom trees or something- they just look odd. Other than that nice work, the layout looks realistic enough and nice use of custom content.

[Rennxx 0]

cool, i can picture the developed region in the future!

it will be interesting to see how you can actually use the hills, and of course can't wait to see the intersections!

[Twenty20 28]

The overview is stunning.

[s_olah 87]

That region view is absolutely breathtaking, it looks so realistic (except the airport in the Delta) ...

[Superchan 23]

everyone, thanks for your comments

dbranch: thanks for a comment, yes, thats a good idea about the trees, guess i overlooked that, ill do that sometime and give an updated picture, oh and about the shadows, i have a low performance video card, Radeon 9200SE, and i keep graphical settings off to prevent the game from lagging, ill turn them on when i get my Geforce 6600 and a new powersupply, and i might update the pictures.

Cockatoo-210893: thanks for your comments, i belive there is a mod that removes those yellow boarders, someone showed it to me before but i guess i forgot to install it, besides i dont like taking screenshots with the simulation running, it slows down the game, and has a chance of new development conflicting with other screenshots without new development.

Rennxx: thanks for your comment, i might actualy put a small amount of houses in the hills, for people that like scenic, though i will mostly keep them undeveloped, to leave the scenic beatuy relativley untouched.

Twenty20: thanks for your comment.

s_olah: thanks for your comment, also the airport is in the delta because i belive it is a nice place to put it, it works, and it looks nice, besides if you ever seen mayor tims klondike delta, you will see that my downtown and his downtown are similar, and his airport is in the same place.

[Cockatoo 2,256]

Here, it's a very small mod, and very useful too.

[RJN 1]

Nice Update ! Good Suburbs ! and nice regional view! Great job!

[Superchan 23]

well, i got my 256mb geforce 6600 agp a few weeks ago, 3dmark score is around 4700 pre overclock and around 5900 post overclock, vs 950 with my 9200se, though since then i have been having problems with either my mobo or ram, my computer takes forever to start, and i took out 1gb of the 1.5gb, back to 512mb, becuase for some reasons games would crash when i had the other ram in, im gonna be saving up to get a new computer, and will give you an update when i get one.

[RJN 1]

Nice Update! Nice suburbs and farmland! Great job!
