Wow, amazing CJ. I've never been to NYC, so I can't tell how accurate it is. But I love the pictures. Central Park looks amazing (it's hard to let such a huge park look good, but you made it...).

And I don't mind seeing S.F. city hall there. I love it.

Keep it up.

As a native New Yorker, I have to say this is very awesome. Just looking at that map of Central Park, I love looking for (and finding) my hangout spots. Can you show off your upper east side and Roosevelt Island designs? I'd love to see them.

Hmmm.... well, this CJ has great potential. However, there's one big thing that's ruining it: The mutilated screenshots.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, edit or embelish your screenshots. That includes borders, labeling things, or sticking your stupid New Amsterdam shield in the corner. I want to see raw, unedited, unembellished (and thus unruined) screenshots here. This is the factor that ruins all too many CJs out there. Don't let yours be one of them.20.gif

Duke I must disagree.He only labels the cities and areas.The little thing in the corners is ok,but isn't needed.

Ok for the CJ itself I must say it is an awesome recreation and pretty cool looking.I think the tranportation layout is really near to the real thing and you use good Bats.
 
Great updates!44.gif

    Being a resident of Westchester County, NY, and the fact that I am in NYC often, I have got to say that this CJ is FANTASTIC!!44.gif The attention to detail, while being constrained by the limits of the game, is supurb! Keep up the great work. And Duke...lighten up man!18.gif

    This is an amazing job! Thanx, it gives me a lot of inspiration for building my own cities. I am currently working on Amsterdam and Schiphol. Thank you for your great work!

    Hey I like ur NYC, but I think that u could make some more deatails for Manattan island, Brook and Queens look awesome as well as Jersey, but I honestly and with no offense think that ur Manhattan island is not very accurate at all, I mean the Madison Square Garden is supposed to be at the same street as the Empire State, and in Lower Manhattan there is a little bit more of space between the WTC and the battery Park, but hey that's only one guy's opinion love the CJ
