EXCELLENT! Even without custom content for realistic buildings, it still looks just like NYC.

It's the closest reproduction of NY I saw until now.....except Liberty City on GTA IV......

Nice work. You can now put some trees on the shoreline, it will look real better!

Don't normally have much to say about the CJ's or CXL these days... but WOW! Best NYC recreation I have seen anywhere... I just wish those CXL buildings looked a little better at night.

Great work on the detail and every aspect that makes it look like NYC!!

Hi everyone here's a small update. I have updated Downtown westward and now have the Australian road mod which changes some of the pictures. I would also like to thank TekindusT, Roger 51, hunkske, Jesse Swiss, GMT, mrtnrln, Jadus, Cockatoo-210893, cm39, Cobhris96, joshriddle, Herdervriend, Stef42 and Androv for their kind comments. I will hopefully begin a Paris CJ soon if I can overcome the problem listed in the technical problems forum.

[Herdervriend 46]

Gigantic awesome again Me want more, more and more Actually there should be a movie where you go trough your city, like sort of U drive it kind of movie, but then without the cars xD Would be so awesome if possible, a nice calm beat below it and the best CXL movie will be a fact then xD Hihi xD But really, awesome, 2 pages of fun already

[luddmamm 3]

awesome work!

[Jesse Swiss 6]

you should trees in central park, great work! Great job!, movie would be awesome

would you mind showing some traffic levels in NYC, like the most bbusiest road, that would be the most appreciated!

[kounoupi 0]

Incredible CJ! Fascinating detail! Well done, to say the least!

Can you share some of your methods? How did you get the perfect grid in place? Do you work off real maps, how did you deal with scaling? How does this city perform when you play it, is it still smooth/playable?

[Asterion 3]

Hi again all. I'd like to say a quick thanks to Jaybyrd05, Herdervriend, luddmamm, Jesse Swiss and kounoupi for their kind comments. Here is another update. I have done a few pictures of the traffic situation as Jesse Swiss asked - I hope they are OK! Some of these pictures are repeats of earlier ones but I've turned on AA which I think makes them look much better.

@kounoupi - Thanks for your questions. I designed my grid layout from the location (angle) of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler building in order to get avenues that run North-South. I use the New York map in GlobexCo's Unlocker mod but I deleted all of the roads in Manhattan and redid them as many of them were not straight. In terms of scale I just do it from eye but the accuracy of the map (e.g. small natural harbours) helps me get my bearings. The city is just about OK in terms of playability but I have to run in on the lowest settings. Hope that answers your questions, if you have any more just ask!

wow... thanks for the traffic levels, and the picture of the jersey overpass is quite something, great work!!!

[Ocram's Razr 963]

Wow! That is amazing! I love it! So, will you upload your city somewhere? If at least 3 other people want it also, maybe you should set it up as a torrent.

[TekindusT 3,809]

Whoa, I haven't stopped by here in a lot of time... I've liked all the updates since I last commented, I've really loved the penultimate one, with all these panoramic shots and pics from the highway... All that "street view" pics have impressed me a lot!

BTW, I think you're lacking of a really tall building on Columbus Circle, the block made by Broadway, Central Park West and West 61st. It would be the Trump International Hotel...

Please, keep it up!
