*What* did you download for your airport?! I really like yours a whole bunch; I've tried downloading some things here and there, but it never really looks good or realistic. Yours is so awesome!

The terminal is good, but I could recommend the RMIP packs in order to improve runways and taxiways. Don't worry, it took me three tries to make my first realistic airport. Great CJ!

Very Nice Start And How Do You Get The Highway Walls And The Big Airport On The STEX Because They Look Awsome!

[ironicepitome 0]

hmmm, interesting. u could use some more sprawl and less jumbo jet in your airport, and use some RMIP. AND and update.

First off id like to apologize to everyone for the lack of updates. Ive  been really busy lately and have had really no time for sc4. Now with that said i would also like to thank everyone (yet again). Even after a month with no updates this cj still wound up on the first page... and that means alot to me... so thanks.

Ok now for the UPDATE!!!! today i will be showing you the progress of Aspen city. Aspen city is located east of downtown Ampton and is actually the community in which the airport is located. Aspen city hosts its own High-Rise district (while its not finished) which holds many hotels and inns for visiting sims to stay. The magority of Aspen city is going to be suburbs... Now for the pictures:

5.1- Early development on Aspen City High Rise district and sunken Highway.


5.2- Sunken Highway is complete.


5.3- An overview of work so far...


5.4- Same picture but with development plans (Key is below pic.)

Key:
High Rise district
Parks and Recreation
Suburbs/Residential



Well that does it for this update... I will try to start updating more frequently!!! Thaks for viewing and PLEASE COMMENT!!!!

Nice plans. Can't wait to see more!

[N106 10]

Cool. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I guess my only request is to know a little history on Ampton county.

Keep up the good work!

[squiggles35 1]

Another great update by hawkeye! This really is a great city journal and it shows b/c it gets a spot on the front page, congrats!

[suplado! 23]

yeah -- nice plans for the city, i also like the cool road and highway network in the centre...

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Looking good- you have a nice plan for this area... looking forward to seeing it completed.

[GreekMan 246]

[Alabaster 0]

Fantastic update! Can't wait to see all the development finished in the high-rise district.

Very nice work!

[De Ja Vu 117]

Aspen city is coming along great! I like the transportation layout and the future plans for development! Can't wait to see the high-rise district surrounded by parks and suburbs!

Keep it up!

[ironicepitome 0]

Cool, but mayber you could use some apartments. like rowhouses.

[dfnva 34]

Nice looking downtown update, I'll look forward to see how everything looks filled in.

-Dan

[Twenty20 28]

Excellent road network, your work is amazing, I'm waiting for the next update.

[thehandyman 11]

the dirt around the tracks that are going diagonal look squarish, otherwise nice city. if im not mistaken that can be fixed by mods. good luck completing ur city!

[USCCL 0]

So what ever happened to downtown Ampton? Maybe you could slowly lower the density from there and create some nice suburbs. Have you also considered building river-front apartments across from the park? That would look really nice.

Great city so far. I'm liking your plans for development

[JJC12321 0]

good plans, before i read the key i thought residential next to highways and industrial? but after it seemed to make so much more sense. Hope the plans go through
