Yes. I did all the East Side and Upper Manhattan (or Harlem). Though your NAM looks different to mine, I'm using v32 (I think, it's the latest version), what are you using? It took a long time yes, but I think the results look very good indeed, especially the Harlem Upper area. I hope you like it.

Oh and I had to consider that it's not a perfect grid. As you can see, there are roads that don't pass through certain avenues (holes in the grid).

[cmdp123789 710]

Oh it is the same!! but I use the arrow reduction mod included in the NAM and I use the NYC markings on crossings!! =) Show us the good stuff Matt!!

[TheBonobo4 28]

Hold on a second, I'll post a screen of the East Side and Upper Manhattan. Let me take one and upload it to Imgur first though.

[cmdp123789 710]

Alright!

[TheBonobo4 28]

Okay, hope you like these:

An overview of what I did today, showing Upper Manhattan:




The area around 106th Street on the East Side, the building is the Museum of the City of New York, about the only BAT I currently have for Upper Manhattan.




An overview of the 110th to 125th Streets. I ended at 125th Street, (being a 6 lane road made a good end reference point, and I was getting tired and bored of SC4 for the day).

I made 110th a 4 lane 2 tile road for Central Park North, I hope that's correct.

[cmdp123789 710]

You should definetely use the arrow reduction mod... it will make those roads look way better!! And yes.. it looks really good... our project is starting to take shape huh?

[TheBonobo4 28]

I'll download it tomorrow or Monday. No more SC4 for me today. Though do you have a link? Or is it already in the NAM?

[cmdp123789 710]

It is in the NAM already.. so you should make sure you click it in the installer..

[TheBonobo4 28]

Okay I'll likely be playing tomorrow, Tuesday or if not then then Wednesday, since I won't be playing today.

 

My next big step will be building from 57th to 14th Street, once that is done I'll likely try and do the East Side (East of 1st Avenue), from 14th to the end (about 90th I think). That will mean I can add in the UN Headquarters, and will look good when finished hopefully (the entire East of Central Park will be done hopefully). After that, probably fix up more of Upper Manhattan past 125th Street and maybe add in the rest of those roads, (some Broadway could be added here perhaps). So yeah, still a huge amount to do, but at least I (sort of) know what I'm doing now.

 

 

Chris, I think I'll need certain measurements though, for example where to build certain Avenues and how wide they are, eg York Avenue (East of 1st) I can see being a potential problem, and those Avenues north of Central Park (I think they align with 6th and 7th perfectly, but I can't be sure). I'll ask you further when I can.

Oh and I noticed something about "Additional Lighting Mod" when using the NAM Installer. I didn't feel comfortable so I left it (it was late last night as well). Is it necessary and/or important? What exactly does it do?

[cmdp123789 710]

Well... I remember I had a little problem with that ave.. but in the end, remember.. you can always add one or two tiles... it wont be noticeable and it will solve tons of problems.. 

 

Whenever you get there we can sort anything buddy!

[TheBonobo4 28]

I'll try and get the 57th to 14th Streets done tomorrow, if not then, then Wednesday. I'll be very happy once that's done.

[TheBonobo4 28]

So today I did all the streets from 57th to 14th!


Here's some pictures:

[TheBonobo4 28]

If you see any errors or mistakes, just let me know. I've spotted a very minor one just now. Irving Place, a road from 20th to 14th is missing (it runs liike Lexington Avenue). I'll do that tomorrow, it's really easy.



I also need a resized MSG BAT lot. It needs to be slightly larger (notice the blank tiles around it). 

[cmdp123789 710]

Wow! it looks really good... I can see that your putting some EXTRA HARD WORK into this.. the result is really good!! 

[TheBonobo4 28]

Thank you. Next step will be the Lower East Side, and then the streets North of 125th will need a bit of work.

[TheBonobo4 28]

Update. Worked on 14th and South, and built 6th and 7th Avenues north of Central Park.

[Harry's Place 918]

amazing project (Y) cant wait to see it finished

[cmdp123789 710]

Well if seeing finished it is what you want then you might wanna check this again in like 4 years lol!! I know what you mean.. But you are gonna have to settle with the undone updates

Btw vlasky, is this thread open to anyone?

[Vlasky 1,803]

Yeah, this thread is open for everyone

[TheBonobo4 28]

Chris, I fixed the Avenue C, but still haven't fixed my loop problem with the OWR. I can't see a solution and I tried everything you suggested. 

[cmdp123789 710]

Thats weird.. I will try it myself and see if it happens to me too..

[TheBonobo4 28]

[tonyr 926]

Nice thread! Thanks for sharing.

[woodb3kmaster 342]

Chris, I fixed the Avenue C, but still haven't fixed my loop problem with the OWR. I can't see a solution and I tried everything you suggested. 

Pardon me for butting in, but did you build that loop in Stuyvesant Town with OWR puzzle pieces, or with draggable smooth curves? If you used the former, you might have more luck with the latter.

[TheBonobo4 28]

I used 45 degree OWR pieces, What do you mean by draggable smooth curves?

[woodb3kmaster 342]

I mean that you can drag smooth OWR curves instead of plopping the 45° puzzle pieces that you used. I don't believe they were mentioned in the documentation for NAM 32, but I've dragged 45° OWR smooth curves in my cities since installing it. All you have to do is:

 

1. Drag a normal 45° OWR curve in the direction you want it to go.

2. Plop a single tile of OWR in the bend of the OWR, and it'll automatically convert to a smooth curve.

 

That should solve your issues in Stuyvesant Town.

[TheBonobo4 28]

Hmm. Took me awhile to get right, for some reason your method didn't work. Somehow it works now though.

[TheBonobo4 28]

Pictures! It is done. It could be better, but I think this is about as good as I can get it right now.

[maikeli.1 12]

where's broadway & one penn plaza because broadway goes on an angle ?

[TheBonobo4 28]

One Penn Plaza I have downloaded as a BAT, but not placed yet. Broadway I haven't yet started to build. It will be very difficult to get it right, so I'm waiting until later to build it. Kind of like an ostrich really.
