[Mr. Beer 12]

Hi mate!!!

I'm pleased to announce that I'm on holiday from today until the 14th of June and I'll be unable to update between these dates.

I was terribly buzy this week, I didn't get time to reply to everyone. I was very pleased to read your comments and I'd like to thank you very much.

So, if everything is OK, I'd land on Saint-Denis/La R

wow very nice, I love the road texture on Cedar Rd. and your blend of rural and suburban areas.

[Nardo69 51]

What shall I say - you are the master of wasting space, you ever have been and don't know anyone yet who 'S half as good as you in wasting space ...

I like that dirt track between the high voltage line.

And the next update .. airport, huh? well ...

no alternative? Let's say some nice railyards or long freight trains hauling through the plains? 

Takle care!

[Raysfan16 5]

That's just fantastic. Nardo is right when he says you are the master of wasting space!

[Hawkeye9 0]

[Kryptowhite 9]

Your regions have spectacular realism. Great rural CJ!

[bakercity 270]

David, what a sight. Can't wait for the next update with the airport. JKB

[ky72x 13]

You certainly are a great talent in LE, that's for sure! Good work all across the board, I really like what I see. There's lots of great prop placement everywhere, most notably with the trailers and fences. The overview shots are plain awesome as well.

awesome job Mr. Beer! I love the aerial shots of the farms, so realistic! Looking forward to see your next update!

[Mr. Beer 12]

Mayorm  -  Thanks!

Nardo69  -  Thanks, yeah for the airport, I spent a lot of time on it these last weeks. I've planned to build some big railyard but they're located near downtown (not build) and the western suburbs (not build too)

Be sure I'll do my best for these!

Take care you too!

Raysfan16  -  Thanks, I'm a master in waiting space . I simply reproduce what I see in North America

Cheers and thanks for posting!

ky72x  -  Thanks Kyle for your comment! I spent hours and hours to customize my CJ with the Lot Editor (thanks to it)

I've built a large collection of modular lots, with fences, trailers, parking lots. You make me very happy that you enjoy my work!

Schulmanator  -  Thanks a million! I can post some pix right here? Hope the moderator wouldn't delete them...

I'm sorry I haven't commented lately

looks like I missed some great progress here!

love the airport. too bad you can't use the diagonal runway puzzlepieces yet -.-

looking forward to see more of this wonderful city of yours!

[Hawkeye9 0]

Wow really nice work!!! I especially love the interchanges, they are very realistic!!! Great job with the airport aswell!!! Lookin forward to more!!!

[Amryai200 2]

Gorgeous airport, though (nitpick) the planes look like 747s; not particularly accurate if they're supposed to be domestic flights only.

Amazingly realistic work you've done so far though, I can't WAIT to see downtown Dubuque.

[Raysfan16 5]

Wow, that is one great airport! I thought Dubuque would have a little bigger airport for its size, but oh well. Great job!

[Kryptowhite 9]

Nice airport, i've never understood those custom airport packs they are far too complicated for me lol.

[TmiguelT 10]

looking really realistic . Great Update

[bakercity 270]

David, you did a woderful job on the airport. To bad I will be driving to Dubuque instead of flying. Also what a great update that you have here. Looing out for more David. JKB

[Mr. Beer 12]

Thanks everyone for your comments!!!
Here is two pics taken after the installation of new planes that fit better for this kind of airport!
 

 

 



GMT - No worries, I don't update every two days! I agree with you, diagonal runways would be very useful and realistic indeed, but so, for the moment I use textures...

Hawkeye9 - Thanks! I'm pleased that you like my interchanges!

Amryai200  -  Thanks, yes, I changed them! It looks better! For downtown Dubuque, I hope you're patient!
Thank you again!

Raysfan16  -  Hello, no, the airport is accurate for a 800'000 inhabitant metro area. Des Moines airport is not bigger and the metre population is less than Dubuque. Thanks for your post!!!

Kryptowhite  -  Thanks!!! Yep, I agree with you! It's very hard to find the good piece and how to put them together... I spent hours and hours to understand but it's worthwhile!

TmiguelT  -  Thank you!!!

bakercity  -  Hi JKB! Thank you very much for your comment!!! Did you went to Dubuque these last days?
See ya and take care!

[PhilsCafe 8]

Salut David! It's great that you're still updating!

And your work is awesome, really! The airport looks amazingly detailed, especially the surroundings, I don't think I've ever seen airport surroundings this detailed.

Take care!

- Phil

[jacqulina 162]

wow awesome airport my friend

[art128 4,622]

David, sorry for missing these last updates, I've no reasons...

Well, the airport looks great and the lots used are nice. Also, it's great to see the development of diagonals runways over CJs.

Can we have a general shot of the airport ?

-Arthur.

[dfnva 34]

Wow, I missed some great updates.
