RHW over rail, must be quit a steep RHW hill rail haveeven  to cross underneath it. Height figures suggest there´s enough heght available for a rail bridge construction !

 

Merged comments by matias93. Please remember not to double post nor quote images unless strictly needed.

It's a L0-L2 RHW transition on a incline, so yes steeper than your average overpass.

However putting the rail over the RHW isn't an option. The terrain gets quite hilly to the north and the highway needs that 15m elevation boost to navigate it.

The route started out as a RHW-2. Later twinned due to traffic, and recently widened and grade-separated, again due to traffic.

coming along  south of the first picture is a massive 10 RHW Bridge.  Excited about this tile

...Work in Progress...

So I've completely redone Lower Algonquin in Liberty City...

Now I'm stuck on which version of the World Trade Center to use for the IEC. Whether I should use the Twin Towers or the New Complex...

[EvansRE4 796]

...Work in Progress...

Well I've got the Eastern half of the Algonquin Island done, along with Broker, Dukes and South Bohan. I've even added Colony Island and Charge Island. Next I will work in the West Side and Alderny.

Compare my city to this map of Liberty City I found.

...Work In Progress...

The city is slowly coming together; however, the "Midtown" district is giving me some troubles...

Any ideas on what I could do with it?

Tomorrow I'll add a canal in the trench.

This interchange remembers me Ponte Atílio Fontana in São Paulo

Well almost done with the island of Algonquin. I'm slowly filling in the empty blocks of the city. 

 

[T Wrecks 10,210]

@Fantozzi: If only we had a prop of Rodin's Penseur sculpture for the philosophical facility!

@f3cs: That looks absolutely fantastic! Only the trees look a bit obviously like "click and drag" around the edges. Maybe the effect will become less noticeable as soon as you add some trees in the middle, too. (I guess thinning out trees around the edges is difficult because you'd risk damaging that interesection)

I got that it was the idea, to plant the trees parallel to the highway in replacement of a sound barrier, but maybe I'm overinterpretating...

It's so lifelike, I keep looking behind buildings expecting to find the mercenary troops that control the region !

Hi Everyone!

 

First I would like to show a new WIP picture-set. It's only one lot, but it may will be released when it's ready, and won't wait for the bigger Heretic SeaPort Expansion. Thanks to @mattb325his wonderful Ferry Terminal building gave me the inspiration to make a so far missing pieces from our industrial harbours. I decided that I make a ferry terminal which takes place a PEG-CDK3-SP-style-ish waterfront. As I mentioned before, I'm usually lotting what I need at that moment, and I needed a ferry terminal which wouldn't break my harbour rail lines... Here we go:

Probably I'll make a few more version, so maybe we get a set of Terminals...

@FantozziThose are very nice LOTs, when can we play with those?  (aka when will you release them?)

I like what you're doing on this city. I specially like the waterfront part. What is that circle building at the right lower corner of the picture?

What you are doing is not SimCity4, I don't know which kind of game what you are playing... Very nice work!

Finally you are back!  I like your cities, they're always giving me some inspirations...!  Thanks!

 

p.s.: Since I lost most part of my back up files (which wouldn't be such a problem, bacause most of those files are in my several active plugin folders, but without readmes I can't just copy them again and again from each folder to an other to building new city folders) due to a memory card failiure, I spend a huge amount of my free time with recollecting and redownloading those thousands of files, what I had. Therefore I don't have much time to playing or LOTting (apart from smaller projects). And I'm the middle of seeking a new job, so my SC4 business is getting a bit slower in the future for a while...

It's the Madison Square Garden (yes, it is called 'square' but is a cyllinder, because of reasons), in this case, a BAT by @andisart

Ah, sorry. I didn't plan that ... used many dependencies in an inefficient way. I love this thread for giving so many idears what you can do with the content, for the inspiration it offers.

The house of philosophy to me it's a little bit overloaded with colours. I may reduce that. The initial idear was to create a big maze with the hedge props (D66) - so you have to make it through the maze until you arrive at the front door. The end result doesn't show much of the more funny concept it was first.

Well, one could pick up the idear and relot it a similar way. It's not that difficult. I always thought we should have relotting competitions - different interpretations of a single bat. Once you have an idear it's quickly done. To me it was some hours because I had to elaborate the idear, changing props moving them around, rearange them. But once this is done - to redo the idear, at least to me, it doesn't seem much work.

So what's about taking the picture like some blueprint and lot it with your own dependencies instead me giving you a long list of dependencies you may need only for this single lot?

Enjoy !

Today's progress:

An industrial area, with commuter carpark & GLR stop (courtesy of @rsc204's great work), and a tennis club - cause why not.  I also squeezed that junction in, without disruption the rail line and only removing a handful of houses.

 

And rediscovering @nos.17's parking fillers, and using them not only around one of the stations, but also excessively around the rest of the city  I might need to add some variety in those bus-stops though...

 

[art128 4,622]

Looks great. Why not add an elevated train station right before the bridge, in the industrial zone? And perhaps another tram stop next to the big factory, with a set of stairs going up the wall?

[nos.17 5,245]

@_Michael ... Always good to see my lots in use!

Look for this in the next few days....

Yo, guys --

Has anybody tried to use the JENX Airports ??

I can't get the Dulles or JFK terminals to show up in the menu -- and I've got "the dreaded brown boxes" all over lots that were listed as having no dependencies !!

I'm drowning here !!

Rather than litter this thread -- send me a message if you have any suggestions.  PLEASE !!

(If I can't get this thing figured out -- I'm gonna drop a Maxis airport, build pretty hotels around it, and pronounce it GRAND !)

You're not alone. I have the same problem. Went through everything and couldn't solve the brown boxes problem so I finally after two weeks of trying I gave up. If you figure it out let me know.

OMG -- this is good.  REALLY good.

I could look at this for hours and never see all of it....

I have good news -- and bad news.

After nearly two days digging and sorting, I solved both problems. (Well, one of them, anyway.)

@Tyberius06  provided a portion of a discussion thread that covered the Dulles and JFK departure terminals.  Inside the "Sc4 Functional Airports 2.2" folder, you locate the "Sc4_Functional_Airports_V2.2.dat" file.  You change it to "00_Sc4_Functional_Airports_V2.2.dat".  The authors renamed the file during the upgrade from the 1.0 versions to the 2.2 version.  That broke the loading order and prevented the enabler files for the terminals from loading.  The change now loads the dat file first, thereby accessing the enabler files in the proper order.  I now have the terminals.  THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH Tyberius06 !!

More good news -- I eliminated ALL but one "brown box".  The defective lot is a 1x1 in the Modular Parking Garage download.  Apparently it is an elevated pedestrian bridge designed to allow you to link the upper decks of more than one garage.  Opening it in EDITOR, I was unable to see any sort of structure on the lot, just four cars suspended in mid air.  My guess is that someone left a vital prop or building piece out of the package.   Unfortunately, I see no way to correct the problem.  Fortunately -- this is not vital to the visual integrity of the garage, so you just live without it.

THE BAD NEWS, @robdragon, is what took me two days to work out.  There is no complete listing of dependencies for the JENX Airport systems anywhere -- hence, the usual plague of "brown boxes".  I Found ALL of them by going through each and every download for the airport system, reading all the notes and "readme" files, and sorting through the somewhat convoluted explanations.  The dependency information is all there, but you have to sift through it carefully not to miss anything.  And the even better news is that the dependencies are STILL CURRENT.  My suggestion is that you start by downloading and installing the VIP Car Packs 01, 02, and 03.  That will clear up a lot of "brown boxes" first thing.
