    Thanks for you replies -- yes, it is the full version of the Austria '75 I have used.... I love using brick streets in the old parts of town, so I couldn't resist!! 4.gif

    An update will be coming in a day or two -- I am now working on 5 CXL cities at once... 15.gif

    LOL, Lochburg has no airport, but sincve the volcano erupted in VOLKA, residents of LOCHBURG have no way of flying to for instance NEW LEOPOLIS. Basically, all flights are grounded - this may last for a month or so. How's NEW LEOPOLIS coping with the closure of the airport due to volcanic ash?

    They predicted it would lose 98million, but it lost 102. Things are worse as they expected. Hotels are full with people who can't get away or empty because there were no people yet. If things continue like this, New Leopolis' cash reserves will come into danger.

    LOCHBURG has no airport and thus has not been hit with the consequences of VOLKANO's eruption to the extend GRNADEGRAD, NEW LEOPOLIS or DICKSON has.... Ironically, the airport at VOLKA is now open since th wprevailing winds are blowing the ash towards NEW LEOPOLIS and GRANDEGRAD, away from the city of VOLKA. VOLKA would be willing to offer NEW LEOPOLIS a very good terms loan, but VOLKA has some financial difficulties itself. LOCHBURG is in a better position -- the city is rebuilding its all historic core that was damaged during last Waorld War + the influx of elites and executives has made the town quite wealthy. See the update below!

    Welcome back to LOCHBURG, the exciting issue to report is that LOCHBURG has been rebuilding its older city cores that were badly damaged during the last World War.... The original Old Square has been brought back to its glory. Please pardon our dust as LOCHBURG is still working on rebuilding some parts of the old city. Here are some of the shots taken around the Old Square and the surrounding area:

    People speak, we listen 2.gif   No, seriously, all my updates will have less photos --- I understand it might not be so much fun to look at 50 pics at a time....
