Hello everyone,

I'm sorry that I've not been able to post any updates since February. It's been a busy 2 and a half months. Now it's summer and I've got time for SimCity again!

Maybe you remember back in the January 10th update, I recreated a bunch of islands in the west loch of Pearl Harbor.

I did not have any real life pictures of those islands at the time. I was able to go out to the west side of the island back during spring break in March. I took the following picture of those islands from the West Loch Shoreline Park in Ewa Beach.

On to newer things, when I finally came back to the forums, I found out a new version of the NAM came out, along with the Network Widening Mod. I've been playing with the new stuff for the past few days. 9.gif I went back into the Capitalis region, and I'm in the process of replacing old Maxis roadways with better NWM ones.

As an example, I've picked the King & Ke'eaumoku intersection in Honolulu:

A real life picture of the area, driving on King Street, three streets before Ke'eaumoku Street:

Here is the King & Ke'eaumoku counterpart in the Capitalis region:

The following is the results of changing the roadways to their NWM equivalents:

IMO, the change is amazing. I am really appreciative of all the work that's been done by the modders! Look next week for another reconstruction update!
