Cool vids! Woke my interest for CXL. The 3D looks amazing, so do the custom interchanges and night views.

[smirkazor 1]

This is my latest creation. Hope ya like it took me aaaaggeess.

It looks complicated, although I am so glad that there is a "Custom Interchange[-like] Tool."

[smirkazor 1]

had to make it myself using different roads, bridges and the highway simple interchange from expressway to highway. Inspiration from Uk motorways, atleast.

[Skimbo 304]

It must cost a lot, but it looks veeery good, I hope you will post a pic of theese intersections when a little downtown is grown there

[Larks2242 251]

Wow those bridges are incredible great job!

[smirkazor 1]

Hi there, here are 2 pictures, one from above, and one from postcard view of the new development surrounding my newest road network.

Hello guys, heres an update on how my cities going. I dont have any stories, or fiction to tell you, just a load of pictures that speak for themselves. Make what you will of them.

1st screen is a reminder of the earliest part of my city.

My last image wont load, so this will have to do.

[Vahr 343]

Wow, very nice road networks! Very creative use of the tools. The first pic looks stunning, as well. I like that little lake separated from the sea by a sand spit.

[Skimbo 304]

Everyone should see theese constructions ingame, looks ++++

But the pics ae also very good.

[PhilsCafe 8]

Wow... that bridge is amazing! I loved the postcard view! Too cool...

[Larks2242 251]

Woah Awesome bridges!

[Skimbo 304]

Nice work

[smirkazor 1]

I stumbled across a way to increase the size of my suburb without having to flatten the surrounding area, and give it a more rio feel. Terracing, i know its not a new idea, but i didnt think of doing it until now .

[Damastius 5]

Very cool! Gives me inspiration!

[Skimbo 304]

Oversized streets, but looks good

[smirkazor 1]

Oversized streets!!?? if anything the smallest street is too small lol.

[smirkazor 1]

Enjoy.

[Larks2242 251]

Really cool city, i like the bridges alot!

[Herdervriend 46]

Sorry to say this 2 things. First! TO MUCH ROADS! Really a bit to much, they do not really add realism. Second: Someone really need to create a program so you can film in game, instead of needing to grab your camera, what is actually not nice to see...Yeah I complain a little bit to much, but hey, still, awesome city!

[smirkazor 1]

1. This is a game.

2. Have you not seen a big city recently? they have tons of roads, everything i have built is based off of real life infrastructure

3. you can never have too many roads, especially with the lack of mass transit in the game

4. I like to express my creativity in my roads, and if it means building lots of them, so be it.

and about the camera, my fps was very crappy using an ingame/computer recording, as well as taking up craploads of space. Using an external camera is alot easier imo.

i really disagree with what you've stated herdervriend

LONG LIVE ROADS!!!!!!

[marius_nicolescu 0]

@smirkzator: i have to agree with hardervriend. this is based on no real life infrastructure. indeed, it is an interesting use of roads, but you will never ever ever see this in any real city. it's too expensive and impossible to put into practice. roads are good, but they are not used like this ever. and also, take comments from people a little bit lighter, otherwise you seem a bit rude.

[smirkazor 1]

Go take a look around google earth sometime, then comment about my use of roads. You seem to have misunderstood me, i said it was inspired by real life infrastructure, as in i have looked around taken some interesting junctions and road networks and integrated them into my city, the city as a whole is not based from a real life city, but the individual pieces are, as well as some made up stuff.

Since when did i state that i was making my city realistic anyhow????

I just cant take any of ur (TOO MANY ROADS) criticism seriously. This is a game, and i love to build roads, and so i do.

You could take this as an (EYE CANDY) city if you truly believe i have too many roads. if i built less roads i would have serious traffic issues.

See if you can spot my ELEVATED highways and their offramps. Which i think you are getting ur omg too many roads from. and whats nthe problem with dual avenue's and expressways.

For me as a non-CXL player, it's amazing to see the different custom street options in action. There are a lot of roads, sure... but that's not necessarily unrealistic. Heck there are some many transportation "philosophies" in RL, I'm not even sure I know all of them. North Korea for example has huge streets, but hardly any cars. So "realism" is relative... especially for a game which is unrealistic already. Everyone has his/her own style. If you don't like it, fine.

Anyways, I think we should stop arguing about the amount of roads in this and just enjoy the spectacular interchanges.

Every part of this city has something unique not found elsewhere. I really like it and have spent a lot of time admiring the views and attention to detail. Plazas, road connections and buildings are all used brilliantly. Come across and and have a look while planet offer's still up and you'll see what I'm talking about. We only have one month left.

[Skimbo 304]

Good update, again Smirk. Do you still continue building the city?
