If this were a facebook status I would like it

[TheMentalist 9]

Wonderful start. Looks promising.

[Follarch 326]

I spy with my big eye, something big and grand and awesome! Know what it is? It's that kitty! Right there, beside that one tree y'know, on that big awesome region that you just showed!

Good start there Vincey Boy! I'm guessing im going to see a bunch of rural farmland and towns!

[mightygoose 92]

so wait you stopping the old one?

[kj3400 178]

I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.....Nice rest area, I haven't seen one of those in a CJ in....forever.

[Vahr 341]

Kj3400: Forward we move! And yes, they are rather rare in CJs. I plan to somewhat fix that.

Mightygoose: Nope.

Archean: KITTY!!!!! Thanks Mikey, you'll see a mix of everything.

TheMentalist: Thanks!

1.21_Jiggawatts: *likes*

Part 2: Looking Around

[ecoba 28]

Diggin' the farms, hun !   

As well- I like the suburbs (especially the last pic... ) and all the high-tech stuff that Devlin (..erm, Aydina) features (I will most likely continue to say Devlin, even though it's not Devlin, I'm not sure why- but, ya' know; like that giant flower-plant thingy in the second to last picture).

I love the superimposed (that's what it's called right? ) signage on the first couple of pictures; very fancy (ish). 

I used a lot of smilies in this reply.

I get and will always get super, insanly, totally, completly jealous when I look at this because I could never do anything close to this. Your CJ and building style is exactly what I wish I could do. I will defenitly be looking back here to see this amazing region grow and develop.

[packersfan 666]

DROOL! Ugh, I really need to master the use of all the NAM goodies like you...I just can't figure out the awesome turnlane pieces sadly Hopefully when I get to building freeways, I can figure out all the RHW stuff

Great signs in your pictures. I love the roadgeekery.

[nicebutevil91 2]

This journal is gonna be in my favorites. You have an amazing roadgeekery and your signs are perfect.

Just wondering. I was taking a close look at one of your signs. What does TaPH mean?

[Follarch 326]

Woo! I'm loving Aydina! Especially her highway system. God those are some beautiful interchanges. I really should experiment with those kinds of designs.

I'm loving what I'm seeing!

[psander5 195]

Great update!  Those are some nice interchanges... simple and elegant.  I'm no roadgeek, but those signs are a nice added detail that give some context to the images.  

Good looking map too.  Rhombus Drive, Rectangle Drive, Square Boulevard... great names! 

[+Guest Member 193110]

The region is just fantastic. Nice interchanges. Keep up the great work.

[BoserF 1]

That's just an awesome road network!!!

[Chptrk 86]

TSX has the best name ever.

In an effort to not totally be uncreative and just repeat the "wow! Awesome!" comments you've already gotten, I'll just point out that the hightechy powerplant thingy is obviously a giant laser cannon. Definitely.

[Benedict 3,119]

Your roadgeekery is very well done - bravo!

[Norby(ToG) 6]

Your work is Amazing, I really love your region and your farming area also. But my favorite pic is from the satellite dishes and the strange industrial building near them. Could you give me a link pls. It looks fantastic.

[dfnva 34]

Nice, I love the roadgeekery and signs!

-Dan

[Vahr 341]

dfnva: Thanks Dan!

Norby(ToG): Thanks! As for those, the big flower thingy is Japanese... SOMY Microwave Rectenna Plant, and the dishes are by SFBT.

Benedict: Thanks Ben!

Chptrk: Indeed... we gotta stop with these secret names And I applaud your effort and say that you are indeed correct... but nobody knows that Oh look! Papaya!

BoserF: Thanks!

Algis242: Thanks! I will... or already am

Psander5: Thanks Paul! I'm not always a crazy sphaghetti interchange person And that was what I was going for, so good to hear it works! And I know I have good naming skills... take "TSX" for example

Archean: Thanks Mike! I try my best And go ahead and use them if you want, I don't mind if people do.

Nicebutevil91: Yay! I'm quite flattered  TaPH stands for tycae per hour (singular tyca), or ~2.605 MPH. Though, as the next update explains, units are a little weird in Aydina...

Packersfan: *Mops up drool* Hey, it all takes practice. As for the turning lanes, plop them on top of existing. And there is a learning curve, but, with a blank city tile and practice, you'll get it.

Malibu_man: Aww, thanks  You just have to work and develop your style, till you like it but its uniquly yours. 

Ecoba: Thanks Ethan! Glad you like the suburbs, and it is kinda tough to differentiate between the two CJs  Just remember Aydina = green banners and Devlin = blue banners. And yes, superimposed, thanks And yes you did

Phew... that was a lot.

A region map, for your convienence

And cuz its about time, AyDOT has a logo now!

---

So first off, we're starting in Wilmington. Yeah, we just drove from Sand Run all the way here on the Capital Beltway and the Trans-Aydinian Turnpike without pics or anything, but, its my CJ and I can do what I like thank you

The Wilmington Service Plaza along the Turnpike

---

As we drive another 30 tycae or so on  (note: 1 tyca > 1 mile, but 1 TaPH < 1 MPH. Don't ask how, its just like that), we arrive at Interchange 84 with at Aoiya Lake.

We take the exit and after paying our toll, we drive through the lakefront area of Aoiya Lake

Closer look at the historic ship and carousel

We'll come back to the turnpike, but for now, we're gonna follow a bit more.

---

As we exit the town, we're greeted by this sight

As we cross the tunnel...

---

We return to the turnpike, heading east... and look! Its the East Gate welcome plaza!

Roadgeek Bonus!

[rewright 804]

Very nice terraforming. I like the way you have laid out the interchanges with a lot of space: very realistic. The road signs are a great touch also. 

[Benedict 3,119]

The tunnel that emerges from the mountain straight onto the bridge is stunning. And more great road signs - wonderful update.

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

Wow!Your editing and road planning is "Gasp" "Gasp" amazing!!

[+Guest Member 193110]

Nice roads you got there. Nice update.

[Norby(ToG) 6]

I love the highway running in rural areas, especially the tunnel and the bridge that was awesome.

Good work my friend

Thanks the information about the two lots.
