Hello all, Fedexflyer for the first time thinking about making my first CJ.  Anyway, I will try to think up a story line and also if there is a story line you would lke to see but you can't do then I would be more than willing to try it out.  Something plane related, well anyway.  As you can see, or not, it is an interactive Cj.  Well to me this means you can make a character and I will show it in my CJ which you can now also role play and take on the charcter's role.(See The Official Riviera if you don't know how to role play.) This is my first Cj so I hope you like it. It was terra-formed by your truly and I am still terraforming it.  Takes such a long time.  Just give me some tips and anything you can think of.  I was thinking of making it a ploppable city.  Tell me what you think about that.  Also this is what you have to give me...
 
Name: Captain Jacob Maxwell (Vapor)
Job:Air Force Pilot
Where you want to live: Cape Verda
 
This is what I need....if lots of people join then I will have after each update, a character bio.  Saying how old you are and showcasing you for that update.
 
This is the actual island of Cape Verda.  This is the transit system of it.  right now it has a highway surrounding it for easy access around the whole island.

Another shot of Cape Verda.  Again you can see the highway system..  Once it is connected to the rest of the islands, it will become an Autobahn.  It will be the 2nd Autobahn in the world.

This is the island of Germania.  It should be connected to the Autobahn and again be put around the island for fast access anywhere.

    The new AFB, officially named Tucker AFB, is growing and will house 11 C-130s and might expand.

     Helomoto - Thank you for your comment. I hope I have luck to!

    Update 3

     
    The island of Cape Verda has changed to a double yellow lined road instead of a white checkered road.  Here is a picture of their new train system.  It is fast and now can go anywhere.  It is capable of fast travel because of the no crossings policy in affect around Cape Verda wich makes all roads crossing a railroad go over/under it.

    Well Ive been using Photoshop and here are my C-130s parked at dusk.  Nerw barriers have been put into place to hide them form the Autobahn.

    The only exception to this policy is if the crossing is close to a station.  As shown here, construction has gone very far to help in the effort, with many bridges.

    Here is a bridge that the CVC, Cape Verda Construction company, has build for the railroad.

    Rained in Cape Verda, its wet season here and so you will see lots of that coming up.

    I'll definitely join up. My Character's name is Nedal, and he is a business tycoon or some sorts. Great CJ, nice shots, althought I highly recommend switching up the pictures from PNG files to JPEG files (just go to Save As, and save em as JPEGs).

    Update 4

     
    Thanks everyone.  I'm trying to make up for lost time.  I'm so happy because I can finally do my first character bio.
     
    Here is a shot of our extensive train network past the city dump,  again I had to take out some raods to make them go over the railroad track.

    There are two bridges now over the highway connecting the Idustrial district and our esidential district.

    Here is his factory.  They build mostly engines but also can make wings and tails for planes.

    Here is his house, right on the beach, it was built in an all inclusive area with only 3 houses, one of them being his.  He actually grew up in this house and adopted it once his parents died.  He also inherited lots of money to get Nedal Aircraft Manufacturing off the ground.

    He went out of the region to The University of Suburbia and majored in aircraft design and engineering.

    Well I'll post more later tomorrow but I wanted to get back to you on your comments.

    Traffic_Jam ; baco2005- Thanks.  It took me so long to get a perfect highway system and railroad.  Now that I got a few cities running, it is getting easier.  I also forgot to implement the Mass Transit Ordinance.  Have to do that when I get home tonight.  Thanks again.
     

    mentarman - I'll take that into consideration.  I thought it might blur it but it hasn't been with my new photos so hope for the best.  The only problem is when I put text into the pic.
     
    Compromise -I would love it if you join.  That would make this Cj one step better if we can get some frequent posters.
     

    superstar - I don't even know how it will look when it is fully developed.  I have been looking at plans of others and I can't choose.
    nedal2001 - Thank you again for joining.   I hope we can get some more people.

    Story Update 1

      Bam, the three round burst of his M16 punctured the enemy and he feel to the floor. More bursts from the rifle and one more enemy fell to the ground in a pool of blood.  Then from behind, Simmons was hit, he fell onto the wall and was calling for help.  You run across the room and come to his aid.  You take out your pistol and shoot twice.  It makes a hiss sound with the silencer, you can
