Downtown

By newyorkrunaway1,

I know it has been quite a while since my last update, and even longer since a major update. RL has played a huge role in my gameplay time, but I've finally gotten Downtown built out. So, here is Downtown Parkland! Enjoy!

I decided to deviate from the original road layout somewhat, and the core has been moved further north to the forks in the river. This allowed for more growth and customizability options. The pic below is the area located across the river from the core downtown itself. This is a huge picture, weighing in at 7mb and has a resolution of 5464x6253. People were asking for larger pics, so here they are! :-) It also gives in game ratio to the city itself. Click on the thumbnail to load the larger image.

I'm not sure what happened to my most recent uploads for Parkland where I showcased downtown, they have disappeared off of my server somehow... annoying... I will try and get some more downtown pics back up soon, but until then, here is a picture of downtown Parkland in 1080p

All right, sorry for the long delay since my last update. I have been busting my butt on my down time (when im not running my dog rescue) to put this region together. By far, this is the farthest I've ever gotten with Parkland, in its many reboots through the years, and this one will stick. These are the maps I've put together so far. As said before, Parkland is made up of all large size city tiles, so you can imagine how vast the region is and how much work was put into this. I was going to wait until I...

OK, I was able to catch a quick minute to update a little bit. As you have read, I plan everything well in advance. Transit is no exception. Below you will find 2 pictures, one for initial transit, and the plans I have to grow it into eventually. KEY : Yellow - Rail Green - Highway Black - Avenue Initial Transit Future Transit

As promised, and update. The first pic is the progress thus far in the development of the intial transit plan as shown earlier. The second is the long term mass transit plans. More detail below. Here is the mass transit plans for the future, and remember, as development happens, these are subject to change at any time. Red line is phase one, blue phase two, and yellow phase three. These are all planned as LRT right now, but that may change depending on development. Enjoy! And thanks for all the comments...
