[N106 10]

Wow! You are skilled, Mr. Beer! Skilled!

Keep up the good work!

[Tomasneto 20]

Nice update, guy!!! Nice rural area!!!

[Heblem 600]

I do like your rural update, it really has an American feel Also your map plan is awesome!

Are you plopping everything as like the farms?

[collgab 10]

Very nice start so far, the farmlands you showed are very well done

Looking forward to more of your work.

It's so amazing! Really realistic. Good luck with you new CJ. Hope to see more very very soon.

Oh Lala. I do like what I see and sofar, I love it. I am impatient to see pictures from Wisconsin and Illinois part of Dubuque (otherside of Mississippi River). Even though you are not creating Dubuque accurately, here is a little hint, show some hills, valleys, tons of farms, and most rural and some urban roads follow the valleys and ridges of hills and bluffs overlooking the big river. Need some more infomation, just ask as I know the area (even though I live near Lake Michigan). Also, the real life Dubuque has two road bridges and one railroad bridge. One road bridge to Wisconsin and the other road bridge to Illinois with the railroad bridge also to Illinois (diagram= R- RR-R). Waiting for more updates David. Gotta go and sleep before work in the morning. JKB

I missed most of your last cj (the excellent Lincoln) but I'm definitely going to stick around for this one. Fantastic start, your work is truly amazing.

[allez l'om 1]

It's so great and so realistic!! I ahve never been to Iowa but your pics remember me the landscapes of the midst of Illinois State!!

[GreekMan 246]

I can spot your farms anywhere! Those farms so so cool and awesome. Looking forfard to more.

Will I see a downtown like Lincoln in this CJ?

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

very nice David! Those farms look very realistic, definitely something you would see in the countryside, also, excellent mapwork! keep it up man!

[Ntq€310 1]

I can already tell this is going be a great Cj Very nice pics.

[Mr. Beer 12]

dfnva  -  I agree with you!!!

Schulmanator  -  For sure! Thanks!!!

N106  -  Thank you very much!

Tomasneto  -  Thanks!!!

Heblem  -  Thanks, yes, farm field are plopped, also they can fit when a field is just between two cities limit. Don't worry, I have large pieces

collgab  -  Thanks you! 

Artur_001  -  Probably this next weekend, not sure. Thanks!

bakercity  -  Hi JKB!!! I'm aware that mine Dubuque is not the same as the real one. Mine is flat, on the edge of a small river and entirely in the State of Iowa. Now I'm working with my own imagination but sure the story of the real Dubuque is a source too. Thank you again!

NMUSpidey  -  Thanks! This one would be more detailled with the same playing style as Lincoln, NE.

allez l'om  -  Sure, it's not the real topography (it's almost hilly) but yeah, it looks like the most part of the Midwest. Are you from Marseille (F)?

GreekMan  -  Thanks! Bigger than Lincoln. In my fictional Dubuque, the metro population would be the same as in Des Moines, IA or Little Rock, AR also the skyline would be in consequence.

Petrovar Ambassador  -  Thanks!!! Sure I'll finish this project   A lot of pictures are waiting!

Ntq$310  -  Thanks, you're optimist!

On what I'm working on: The airport... yes, insthead my previous CJ (I never was interested by building the airport, so they were ugly and less detailled) I decided to "study" on how to design an airport (like Des Moines airport)... I've downloaded some stuffs in the STEX, and I took some information on the Internet, now I'm drawing some sketches...

See ya! David

[jacqulina 162]

great region view there my friend,excellent farming,very nice work and pics.

[sammerhammer747 0]

WoW!! The pictures are amazing!! I love airport building in SimCity! I can't wait to see your sketches!! I hope you post them along side the actual pictures!!

Also, what are your plans for mass transit in Dubuque?

Definatly will be staying tuned to your work!!

[art128 4,618]

Wow !! this is simply awesome !! the realism is fantastic

Excellent work David !!

Arthur.

[mayorbk 66]

can't wait to see more!! keep up the good work!

[packersfan 666]

How do you get a direct overhead satellite view of your region...I can't remember how to do it..?

[Raysfan16 5]

Wow. Just wow.

Btw where did you get the machinery dealer?

[Hawkeye9 0]

Very nice, Love the region view and the farm land is stunning!!!

Lookin very much forward to more!!!

[vennegoorofhesselink 0]

I was actually in Dubuque yesterday

[Artur_001 4]

OK. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for reply.

I must say that I'm not surprised thay you have won Trixie for Most Realistic City Journal last year.

You live in Lausanne? I have been there last August. I love Switzerland.

[Mr. Beer 12]

jacqulina  -  Thanks!

sammerhammer747  -  I beagn last weekend to plop the runways and taxiways but it needs some work on it. As a middle sized city, I think about buses, but the rail could also be a possibility, like a fast-link train for the suburbs. Thanks for your comment!

art128  -  Thanks Arthur!

mayorbk  -  Thanks

packersfan  -  I use Photoshop. After uploading your region picture, you have to rotate it by 40° (in the same sens of a clock) and the use "manual transformation" with right click and then "torsion" after you have to resize your image manually, like mine is 8x9 large maps also the pictures will make 8x9 cm or whatever... then save

Raysfan16  -  Thanks. It's a homemade lot, using Simgoober's farm machinery familly props...

Hawkeye9  -  Thanks!

vennegoorofhesselink  -  Arghhhh!!! You lucky!!!

Arthur_001  -  Thanks!   yes, I live in Lausanne and you really was in this city??? Oh gosh, also you know The Great Escape, the city's funniest pub? I hope swiss people were friendly with you! Cheers!

[Mr. Beer 12]

Some sceneries of East Dubuque, a medium wealth city just opposit of Dubuque. This city is mostly industrial. Major railways from Chicago, IL, Rockford, IL and Milwaukee, WI connects here before to continue far away in central Iowa (via Des Moines, IA) and the West of the country

Farms along Prairie Rd. East Dubuque, IA

Scattered homes, Hoffman Estates, East Dubuque, IA

New homes in construction along Madison Rd (IA-105), East Dubuque, IA

High wealth homes in Normann's Field Acres, East Dubuque, IA

Interchange between I-92 and Madison Rd, East Dubuque, IA

Madison Rd becomes a commercial strip and continues to the northern part of the city, East Dubuque, IA

Waebber Works, Inc. It produces cast iron pieces for the farm machinery industry. East Dubuque, IA

Warehouses next to the interchange of Louisbourg Rd and I-92, East Dubuque, IA

[art128 4,618]

Wow ! it's simply beautiful David !! you have done an excellent job there my friend

I like the Warehouses sector

[Tomasneto 20]

Very nice work!!! Great update!!!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Ooo, very nice. You capture the Midwest quite well! I imagine you may have some experience in that region... Either that or Google Earth is one of your best friends!

[Wrightguy0 40]

Holy crap! Did you plop all of that!?

[dfnva 34]

Great update. I like the style of the homes and sizes of the yards, typical of the outskirts of any city. It realistically reminds me of Loudoun County, VA where neighborhoods like this have been built where farms once were. The industrial areas look great too!

[Raysfan16 5]

Oh, my goodness-this is great. I wish I could be a lotter as good as you!

Once again, I'm gonna need to ask you where you got those power lines.
