@Yoshiisland: Thanks for the advice. I try to contrast the text colors as best as possible, I actually do use borders(GIMP), and try to edit my pics. Again, thanks for the advice.

Nice layout on the CBD of West Tempe, I like the roundabout up in the corner of that picture.

[FreewayofFlight 41]

great looking cities, I like the Super 2 freeway! Noticed your roundabout in your CBD is going backwards , still looks fab!

[Zeck180 18]

Noticed your roundabout in your CBD is going backwards , still looks fab!

I was going to tell you it wasn't, but saw that green van coming off the left side of the road (or going onto)

[Schulmanator 5,815]

Looking good! Always nice to see your progress.

[9988 428]

Nice updates, that theme park looks great.

[Benedict 3,119]

That shopping center and suburban area from the last mosaic looks really good.

[КaZZ 203]

@Yoshiisland:Thanks!

@Freewayofflight:Actually, that's because I flipped the picture horizontality. I should have switched the game to LHD before I took the pic.

@Zech180: What I said above

@Schulmantor:Yes, I have been progressing

@9998: Yes, at least it looks better than my V. 1.0 theme park(Whose photo is on page 2)

@Benedict: Yes, although that shopping center wasn't mine, but thanks!

@Testuser1234:Thanks!

Well, remember the Lowell Monorail. It has expanded, with a new map(Sorry no 3D this time-too lazy )

The Allintom Ave and Museum/Frog Park Stations

...and the Other stations, which is on the left of the map(Haven't extended it to Braintree yet, but put it on the map for reference)

You make some pretty good transportation maps! If I may make a suggestion, though? Try maybe using Gimp instead of Paint...it takes a bit longer to learn but the pictures will look a lot neater, i.e. centered text, and no horrible white box appears right on top of what you're trying to place a text layer over...among so many other things.

Really, it's a free Photoshop

@Yoshiisland: I do use GIMP(For CJ photo editing), but I don't know how to make transit maps out of it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Today a panorama!

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Well, let's take a look at something I have been working on....A Navy/Air Force Base!

It is located outside Tucson. Overview:

2 destroyers and the Battleship Magnificent docked in port, as well as a cargo/supply vessial

The Air Force Base, at top, and the barracks, recreation area, and training center for troops and pilots stationed here

A small artifical island offshore where 2 cargo/ supply vessials and a destroyer can dock during high-traffic times.

and some google style maps I have been working on, just for fun:

This one is from Fall River:

..and Townshed

[Jazzmaster 716]

Nice maps and base! I think your maps especially have improved drastically since the last time I've seen them!

This may seem a bit picky, but the 'Main Street' in your second map picture doesn't seem so 'main'...it's rather short. Maybe the yellow line with access to the Airport Parkway would be better suited to that title its truly up to you though, this city is in your image, not mine

[Schulmanator 5,815]

Wow! That map is fantaSTICK! :ducky:

[gargoyle575 8]

Wow, prety cool. Did you make the ships yourself?

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Replies

@Yoshiisland: Thanks for pointing that out!i'll fix it!

@Schulmantor: Thanks!

@Gargoyle375: No, Pegasus and Ill tonsko made those ships.

Well, we want to know about traffic conditions around East Westport Island? Well, we turn on the TV to Channel 63-BeatTheTraffic Channel:

Well, comments and suggestions are welcome!

[hamsterTK 93]

The city has an entire cable TV channel devoted to traffic congestion? must be bad. I guess these days its more likely you'd have an app for your phone, but you arent supposed to use a phone in the car. Of course, you can't watch TV in the car either.Maybe this is why those in car navigation systems are the future and they can display advisories for motorists and show traffic congestion.

I'd miss the old traffic reporting though, sometimes it can be funny.

[jacqulina 162]

wow this has sure come on since i lasr was here,looking fantastic my friend,your doing great keep up the good work

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Replies

@HamsterTK: Actually, yes, although it varies depending on where you live(You wouldn't want to live on Boston Island and hear traffic reports from Hollister Island).

@Jacqulina: Thanks and welcome back!

Teaser pic, until I can make the full update....

[kakado_to_save 514]

Are you saying ne this teaser pic that the next update will be an airport?... awesomeeee

[Kusajika Yachiru 9]

@kakado_to_save: Well, sort of, you'll see.

@Kusajika Yachiru: Well, there actually isn't much due to good ATC

Well, today, a special presentation called "Flight to Timbucktu"

After packing our bags, we hail a taxi and tell him to take us to Capital District's International Terminal

We go through the new interchange between the Westpark Toll and Airport Parkway, which is named after a motorcycle victum, toward the Airport:

We arrive, unpack our bags, and go into the terminal

An hour and a half later the intercom says: Attention: Now Boarding UC Airways Flight 289 to Timbucktu City at Gate B13. Another 30 minutes and then we take off, bound for the mainland:

Along the way, we find the menu for our meals, as well as terminal maps, based on United Airline's old style:

The End

Bonus:

(Okay, I know it doesn't look like the one in the photo, but I don't know how to put it in-game)

Next time will be region update, with a major milestone in population!

[Schulmanator 5,815]

WOW! Your added graphics are truly impressive

@Schulamantor: If you are talking about the TV, thanks!

Region update as planned:UC Population Hits 1 Million!

Red=Main Highway Green=Tollway Dashed=Future Highway/Tollway

In addition, world population statistics:

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Well, a couple of weeks ago the UC bought a ton of land in Timubcktu for settling, naming the commonwealth(Independent in 2 weeks) Tickarton. The capital(shown here) has about 1,000 people, with 3 other towns nearby, all connected by a good highway system.

Overview of the development

Capital town overview

Main St. near Country Highway 5(International Highway 7)

The massive Interchange west of town(green routeshields are country highways and blue are international ones)

Barnatt Park in the town

Next time will be roadgeekry!

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Lovely work you have put here, Nice park were the children can play at and be bullied at. Keep it up, and don't forget about gas stations, I may want to drive to you city/ town one day, I do not want to end up walking back home.

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

@Aaron Graham: Actually, a gas station developed after I took that pic

Well, I wasn't able to get the roadgeekery ready today, so I will update on Bullard Village and Figgarden Village on Mountain Island:
