UDI in CXL 2011?

[quicksilver991 37]

Is there something similar to the u-drive-it in simcity 4 in cities xl 2011? Thanks.

Not yet and most likely not ever by developers.

wow that would be awesome if they did incorporate that into the game, driving in rush-hoour traffic !

UDI would be such an awesome addon to CXL, it would make the game much more enjoyable because you can create you city, then drive in it! Would be alot of fun with all those curved roads.

The closest thing they have to it is clicking on a car and following it around...as in, if you click on a car in traffic, the camera will be attached to the back of it, and it'll automatically follow the car while you're free to look around. You can't control the car, however...it's just for fun. Still...it's nice once you get a nice city built up to be able to see it from the ground as a sim (or a Bobblehead, as I've heard it referred to) would.

LOL Bobblehead. I like that the name is starting to stick - LOL.

Just be aware that it is suspected that the cause of a city blacking out might be related to attaching the camera to a vehicle in the game. There is no concrete evidence as of yet and it might not happen the first time or the 5,000th time that you attack the camera to a vehicle, but that seems to be what people have reported they were doing when the city blacked out on them and as of yet, there doesn't seem to be a way to revert the city to a non blacked out city unless you have a previous save that you can load up. So make sure to make a save before you start following any vehicles around, just in case that's truly the cause of the city screen blacking out.

Better safe than sorry. I hated losing my 200k city when it blacked out and my last private save was back at like 30k.

Only problem is that when you get to certain points the cars just stop (simple interchanges) or disappear (other highway interchanges or when they get to a certain road for some reason). I agree that it would be an awesome add-on so that you can basically start at any place and drive where you like, would be great.
