Rusty industry is growing really nicely, thanks to @Simmer2, who gave his new toys to me to play with (the LOTs and models all of them are his work). They are growing on stage one currently, so one needs to make them "historical" if one wants to keep them. But they are working fine, providing some dirty jobs... well, not that dirty... before you would think something else... ;)

Beautiful models and props, my upcoming industrial lots are waiting for these rusty beauties... :)

Any plans for a release? My dirty areas need them. (that sounds dirty)

My dirty areas ache for those rusty tanks.

You are so good at the dirty.

USS Enterprise (CV-6)

Holy crud, that's an impressive rendition of Big E! :drool: There are a few seams on the deck texture, but the overall colouring is great, and we needn't speak about the modeling job. Man, that's awesome!

Abandoned Fishing Vessel:

 

I am doing something wrong?

 

Are you referring to the fact that the underwater section of the ship shouldn't be visible through the lot texture? Does it look like this in game, after plopping on water, too?

This topic aside, I am amazed by the sheer quality of these models, and I don't even think the vessel would have to be abandoned... these ships are heavy-duty workhorses, and they often look the part IRL. The amount of wear & tear visible on this fishing trawler looks reasonable to me.

Man, we could really use some generic cargo vessels at this level of quality and realism! All the existing ones tend to be somewhat cartoonish if you look closer...

Thanks buddy, design took me a while.. It's actually built on a large tile, so there's a lot of detail missing... I did do a bit of research regarding sizes and made the airport suitable to all aircraft as seen on the images below... The Runway is a 4 tile wide mod over the standard 2 tile runway set and there is more than plenty taxi space for the A380... but there's a realm of fantasy as much as realism in it, as you're limited to exactly how real you can make it.....

 

Below the A380 is 5 tiles wide and my taxiway is 6 tiles wide.. I also took into account the size of pushback required for the 747 to the terminal building itself..

A380 gates.jpg

Below you can see the 4 tile wide runway with the slight overhang of wings

Runway.jpg

Below you can see an a380 on taxiway with wing overhang 

a380 taxi.jpg

and below is an A380 on Heathrow airports runway with the slight wing overhang

a380 runway.jpg

 

I did check all this prior to building, as I said I like a degree of realism within the sizes that's available to me... Where it does slightly enter the realms of fantasy however is in the runways length... from doing a bit of digging the general consensus is that it's 100 tiles per 1 mile.. Apparently the A380 needs 1.8 miles to operate, however the aircraft has landed and taken off from my local airport that has a 1.6 mile long runway, so it's possible.. My runway is only 135 tiles long, it would suggest it's only 1.35 miles long... sooo this is where I just need to imagine the runway is long enough as it fits the rest of the scale of my other islands that surround the airport (Still all pretty rough as i've not long started it)

 

New Balornock City.jpg

 

I’ll maybe go back however and lengthen the southern runway to accurately handle the larger jets at some point... At this present moment, I need a break from airports and they take up a huge amount of space done accurately :)

Airport, design indeed a lot of research to be taken. Livelyness, little detail you need to have a look in the future at the central terminal business part like offices or large store´s. Terminal apron airplane size, airport vehicle road, yellow apron border, taxiway a addition of elements here . For comfort I would add some more taxiway, one tile make it more convincingly.. Wide runway I haven´t used yet have it in the menu but it crashes the game; RMIP 2 regional is for now the maximum till I setup a special airport installation for this maybe when i build a large international city, I have it done, well done !

@Simmer2 Ah a transformer at last ! (would you consider redoing the Maxis round solar plan in the realistic way you're so good at ? It would be such an improvement...)

@MilitantRadical : I love the more urban relot of Duke Chapel !

@tariely For the time being I'm all solar powered out *:D But check out this even better solar power plant....

A few tweaks here and there et voila'...SM2 Modular Solar Power Plant
With this set you can make any size or shape solar power plant you wish.

Before anybody asks, I also made a diagonal panel model not shown here. In order to make a diagonal power plant there are quite a few models I would have to make therefore for now I will just include a single diagonal model in the prop pack.

Here are the basic 3 components.

Those are so nice, whenever you release it I am going to have to replace all my solar in my cities with yours.

However solar is intermittent and does not work at night, and one of the most promising battery techs is redox flow to store energy overnight.  I have no idea if you take requests, but some shipping-container sized flow batteries would go with this very nicely.

 

eg.

Hi everyone!

In two volume there will be altogether 11 new GLR terminus stations, 2 pass through stations, and 2 ontop fillers. The first volume mostly ready, however I have to make some tweaks here and there.
1. Heretic GLR Station and Terminus Pack v.1
GLRStationsetb9142.jpg

2. Heretic GLR Station and Terminus Pack v.2
These are mostly raw plans in very early stages, but some them is coming along nicely.

The smallest terminus in the set, which using the Shmails TIA platform and @Simmer2 platform props additionaly as support. :)

Art128 Sukamoto Large GLR terminal with SM2 Kennedy Hub.

GLR9x3Sukamotolarge076d0.jpg

Same concept with a little extra. It will get a more or less full custom texture so the current will be changing. On both pictures the dark grey HD base texture was made by Simmer2 and can be found in his SM2 Essentials.
GLRKennedySukamotoSpecialb580f.jpg

And the last concept is a fun project so this will be totally take-it-or-leave-it. I like its extremity, and a huge thanks for Simmer2 making the grey modular platform props for my request. Although, I have to admit, that this one is not for everybody. ;):)

Stay tunned...

Great work, nice variety of station, well done !

Or you could use the already made inverter trailers to mimic what you want....
