By Roger51,

Just a quick pic to show you all that I am not dead!!!! :party: So been working on a few cities lately and a few regions trying to get a feel for everything.

Spidey: Thanks, yeah the space just invited some hills to be thrown into the mix of trying to build a university there, but I think it worked out great. I bought the Audi, and have fallen in love with it even more! I do like Subaru's, it was even on my list of cars to buy during the looking period, but the Audi was the best for...

UoNP

By Roger51,

Replies: ROFLyoshi: Thanks. I am glad that black Saturday didn't effect you (even though it was close) The main issue was that controlled back burn was not able to happen during September, because of the rain. But yes, there is still no excuse for it to burn that rapidly and ferocious, and they knew the weather forecast. Spidey: Thanks. At the moment I am driving a 1996 Hyundai Sonata (Does not age well at all) I am planning on buy a 2000 Audi A4 Quattro, the guy is dropping by on monday after work so that...

A secret revealed

By Roger51,

Replies: Spidey: Thanks, I tend to struggle a bit on airports, getting better through some help. I do know of the one done by bripizza, haven't used it yet, and the next update is now!! heitomat: Airports do tend to take a large area, I normally leave a large city tile just for it, this one is slightly smaller, as it is just the international terminal, the domestic one will be next to it a short distance away, with the intended public transport connecting them. Sam: Cheers Sam, I did the transport view to...
