About this City Journal

So as we sit out the snowstorm in our comfortable home in Rotherford Harbour.... ...we flip on the TV to channel 14. That's all for now, I just wanted to introduce a news channel type thing that I can use in the future. Feel free to comment or suggest improvements (ok, don't suggest anything for the third news item picture, that was from 2009 )

Update 22: Thalian 'Burbs

By Vahr,

Welcome to North Plains! 2010 Trixies: Best Roadgeek CJ Award I must thank all of my readers and commenters for helping make this CJ be what it is today, for if there weren't any of you, this CJ would have died like so many others. I also wanted to thank all those other people who have supported me and come along with me through the 2 years of ST. And I'd also like to thank everyone in the NAM Team, for what would I be showcasing if it wasn't for them ? Heck, I probably wouldn't be playing SC4 Anyways,...

First off, a map of what we're looking at: Click anywhere on the mosaic to see the full size Bonus: Find Squall Leonhart in this mosaic (hint: He's larger than most buildings) and I'll give you a cookie and maybe name a highway after you. Most likely a 1 mile long connector, but oh well.

Have you ever wanted to put an overpass that psedo-flys over the RHW from which it came from? Similar to this? Well here's the tutorial on how to do so! First, you have your plain RHW. It doesn't have to be RHW-4 (well, your only other options are RHW-2 and MIS-1) and it doesn't have to be side by side. Now, when we try just dragging the thing across, we get this: Not so pretty eh? Doesn't work either. We can try putting the RHW x RHW pieces, but then there's no way to have a curve that close. Or is...

First of all, if you're reading this in the Forum Section or viewing the first entry of the New CJ Section, you may have noticed new banners going up. Also, the DevDOT logos: Main Logo Bannered Secondly, two maps. Region Map 3366x2881 Map of the city of Whirlround (beta map - testing style) 2000x2000 Alright, now with that out of the way, we now proceed to our update. Portions of H-10, Devlin's major N/S freeway, have been unable to properly service the 1 million sims that commute along it every day. Those...

I've been building here and there across most of Devlin, farm fields (south side), a new metropolitan area (to the north), developing more suburbia and middle density, and running a highway and HSR line between Devlin Center and Switchbend. First up, a region shot. (WARNING, 4936 x 2448 JPEG) LINK An interchange in a tight spot (not clickable, sorry) A new interchange in the mountains Grid on and some trees removed With trees, different angle. Closeup 1 Closeup 2 Working in Thalia (that new metropolitan...

So I was trying to create this (which as you can see I have) But I slipped on try 1 (elsewhere on the quad) SCUBA-driving anybody? Got it right the 2nd time though. A nice compact cloverstack And an interchange in CS/CX, which is not the city name but a short version of it. Very few people know what it stands for. Glances at Glenni and Chptrk Can't see it very well eh? So here's some closeups.
