Looking great!

Only one minor thing, the red aircraft about to enter the runway is really in the wrong place, since you seem to be taking off and landing heading west (left of image). meaning the read aircraft should be entering the runway further to the right. 

Apart form that minute detail, looking good.

Still working on the new airport located in the bay of Saitama...

Bigger size --> https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5653/23064685906_254c4c541a_o.jpg

I'm thinking to start a new CJ here in strompolis...

I hope you like it.

 

 

I don't just like it, I love it!

I was planning on building my own island airport one day... when I finally feel up to it and have time for it. Yours will definitely serve as an inspiration as its very similar to what I had in mind in both size & design and with rail/road links via bridges.

Very nice -- quite impressive!

A few detailed close-up shots would be welcome. 

I've never much messed with airports -- and I'm anxious to see what goes into this impressive looking airport complex.

MORE -- PLEASE !

Want me to destroy your airport design?

Nah just minor flaws but none the less an awesome airport.

[TakemeThere 5,834]

Here's something I meant to do a while back but only finally got started on this week.
Making 'wikipedia-type' track schematics(eg; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Jérôme_line) for all my commuter rail lines;

Surprisingly more time consuming than I thought, still need to add all the labels as well.

I told him a bit what was wrong or good over at SC4D. Making a good airport is actually quite difficult, even though it doesn't look like it.

Trying out a new plugin. Click to enlarge.

City I'm working on, it's been "grown" since. I like how thanks to the cloud at the right forming the nose, it looks like a head.

 

[peperodriguez2710 138]

Woooow would you post them on Stex? I would definitly use them!!!

 

Can you post a picture pleaseeeeeeeeeeee? xD

Hi, I still need to fix some things and do the weeds a bit less-repetitive, adding reflectors in all the lots, etc., but they can be shown. They're concretely for freeway medians.

I will post for showng final results.

See you!

I'm LEing them in two types: Guardarraíl (Steel barriers) and Medianas cemento (Concrete barriers), and in three sub-types, all of them with and without streetlights: Urbano (Urban), Normales (Regular) and Secarral (Dry weeds only), and a turning area.

Not a extraordinary work, but hey...

Just about to finish up a few lots I whipped up for the SC4D Lotting Contest. Pretty happy with them right now...

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

I'm currently piecing together the main street of a small, northwestern-american (Washington-ish) town. Planned poulation will be somewhere between 60 000- 80 000 for the entire metro area which, since it's a mountainous region, will probably encompass at least three or four tiles. My main source of inspiration is Yakima, Washington.

Edit: Feedback welcome! I feel like I'm a little stuck and I'm not sure where to go next. If anyone has any ideas, please tell me!

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

I've gotten a little further, filling in the blanks and plopping what will be the tallest building in the city, which I've now decided to call Titanic. Fairly stupid a name for a city of less than 100,000, right? Well, so is Yakima.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Looks really good! I'm trying to work on a mountainous city myself, I'd recommend lots of modular parking.

[Compdude787 916]

The name Yakima isn't really a stupid name. It's actually derived from the Yakama Native American tribe. (they have a huge Indian reservation just south of Yakima) It has several meanings: "to become peopled; black bears; runaway; people of the narrow river."

A lot of cities in the Pacific Northwest have names derived from Indian tribes that formerly populated the area.

Of course it means something. I just think that as a word, it sounds pretty funny. Sort of like Omaha, Boise or why not Gaylord? No offense. Uppsala is pretty stupid too.

Yo --

You know, of course, there is a S*** Creek, Alaska!!

I dunno, I always liked the sound of Omaha or Boise. They're strange names no doubt, but rather unique as well. Now naming something Gaylord on the other hand is just retarded if not offensive.

I'm assuming you were referring to the town when you mentioned the name but get this, the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville was once called the Gaylord Entertainment Center. Made me wonder for a moment just what kind of 'entertainment' was going on over there.

I did feel good about casually browsing Michigan on Google Earth and suddenly stumbling upon the town of Gaylord. I think I know how Archimedes would have felt. As for the arena, I'd definitely go find out what was going on there.

[matias93 7,535]

Consider that 'gay' mainly means 'cheerful' or 'happy', and it is just an euphemism for 'homosexual'; most surely, the name 'Gaylord' was given in a context when it mean something like 'cheerlord' or similar.

Here in central Chile, most places have indigenous names, and they are clearly recognizable by its grammatics. A toponym ended in -hue is from Mapudungún, with the -hue particle meaning 'place'; so 'Manquehue' (a hill) means  'place of condors' 

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Of course it refers to happiness here, but society has ruined that word too much for it not to be funny. There's also an Amish town in Pennsylvania called Intercourse, and that one's harder to argue.

[Toothless Stitch 2,901]

I never work, I only have fun lelelel

That was my first animation ever ... still "working" on it ...

This was my first experience with zBrush ever ... still "working" on it ...

To have something SC4 related ...

That's what I'm working on 

 

I was "working" on that one year ago, still "working" on it now ... somehow 

 

[raynev1 1,887]

@Toothless Stitch That ocean render looks pretty good , the pig thing looks neat as well . Are you GroberSand ? If so piano not too bad either . 

Also that SC4 region is nice too .

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

A lot must have happened in a year. Why don't you give us an update?

[SimEMS38 246]

Been lurking a bit, but here a snap on my current work in progress.....aren't they all?!?

Intercourse....ppsssshhhh, the town to the west of Intercourse is called Bird-In-Hand and there's a town northeast of there called Blue Ball. The imagination often runs wild when you enter Lititz as well, plus there's a road in the southern part of the county that's one misplaced word from being rated NC17! I'm from the area and it never ceases to amuse the out of towners!

This is the start of a midwestern style region based off of Chicago, that I am naming Waukeagan, This tile is called Ohio Dunes and is based off of Indiana Dunes and Michigan City, Indiana .

Yo, DavidDHetzel -- (gonna have to shorten that name )

This looks very good -- very good.

I see a lot of detail work that went into it -- and some custom lot work, as well. 

It kind of gives me the feeling that I'm driving into a small, mid-western town -- lots of crops and open spaces.  Reminds me of parts of Illinois I used to travel.  Very "small town America" -- I like it!

Now -- what is the tall brick building with the slate gray roof up in the left top quadrant (behind that tall thing sticking up)?  I'd like to get my hands on that.

And right across the street -- the brick building with the four silos ?

And finally -- the big central grain elevator -- is that Chelsea Mills?  Could you post a close-up of that?  One of my future re-lotting projects is going to be a big grain shipping complex and I'd like to see what you did with yours.  Inspiration is where you find it.

Did you "grow" some of this in-game, or are you "plopping" lots to achieve the desired visual composition?  I'm aware that Maxis is not very cooperative when it comes to the visual creative process (the right building never grows -- or grows one row over from where you wanted it).  I've been toying with making "plop" lots for everything and simply ignoring the Maxis mechanics entirely.

Looks good -- you've added some nice stuff there!  Ignore the "purists" and keep at it!

The slate grey roof building is "SG Auto" by Sim Goober, I believe can be found either here - https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1138 and here - https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1137  or here - https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1139  and here - https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1140 (please note Goober has the models and lots seperate) There is a version on the STEX, but it's old and was done pre-CAM so it's a bit outdated.

The neighboring building is Expagra by Tag_one -  https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2509

The last building is not  Chelsea Grain (I have that but never use because of the whole North County Dude Texture issue. ) It's Nexis Grain Elevator by MrBisonM - https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/14113-nexis-grain-silo-elevators/

 

Also to add on to the above post, It's mostly grown. (

What I did was go into lot editor (PIM-X doesn't work for me ) and made a bunch 6x6 growable industry lots using the "Yard" building as my base. (unfourtiantely, this means at tops they only employ 3 people)

The one on the top left is a welding company, the one next to it repairs flatbed trailers and the one on the bottom is a small Chemical company.

Thank you VERY much, sir.

I'm not sure where they will end up (probably re-lotted) -- but they look good!

Not sure about this CAM stuff, though.  I'm wary of Mods as a rule.  I'll probably have to re-lot the thing to get it to work.

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

Get NAM and CAM and you won't regret it!
