Replies: Is this based on the same Eagle that was a Chrysler brand? That's a huge complex. Must have taken a while to build. I just picked a name I liked. Some of the new auto plants here in the USA South are quite large and spread out. It took a couple of evenings to get the basics done. Now THAT is an automobile factory! Please post the close-up pictures soon. Thanks! Here are a few closer shots. I love looking at industrial sites in google earth. Looks good Yes, I like looking at cities from the air,...

Replies: looking good I like the terrain mod Thanks, it's the Italia Terrain Controller, which I saw in our friend Caracortada's CJ. It is a great looking mod. Another excellent update. As always, I appreciate your encouragement my friend. Excellent! Hillsboro looks great indeed. Thank you for your comments! It's a nice town. Love it. It totally feels like a city that's about to explode (population wise (duh)). Also dig the pond behind the shopping center. Small details go a long way! Every time I review...

Replies: I love watching as this region develops, good job! Thanks for the kind words! A very promising CBD... I'm pleased you are enjoying it. Thanks! I just spent time looking at all the updates from the beginning...I love the growth of this region. It's so realistic. The CBD looks perfect for a mid-to-large sized city.

I know this is not the technical problem venue, but I thought one of you might have seen this situation. As you can see from the pictures, some of the textures and props are just randomly disappearing. Any ideas will be much appreciated. Here is a series of the sports complex. The next to last picture shows the stadium as it should look. Here is an industrial park. Thanks, Dick

Sometimes I have to tweek the spot a little. 89James89, on 15 Apr 2014 - 04:32 AM, said: That's cool that you took us through the process. Not sure I like the use of the peg pond pieces up the top but I think that's just personal preference to using MMP's for water bodies. Other than that it looks awesome. I assume there would be a road leading tot he...

Building a Dam...

By rewright,

A few folks have indicated they are interested in how I build my dams. Here is a little tutorial on how I do it. I hope it is useful to some of you. 1. Find a likely location for your dam. A valley, near by river and a way to extend a branch stream to the dam location. 2. Extend a stream to the spot you will build the dam. Widening the area at the dam base. 3, at the base of the dam, build a three row shelf. ) 4. Raise the back row by 24m (using Hole Digging Lots by Shadow Assassin). 5. Create a two row...

Replies: Benedict, on 04 Apr 2014 - 10:42 PM, said: Great mid rise work here.Thanks friend, just trying to keep in proportion. The area is at about 210,000 population. Update: This shows Brattleboro spreading out over the central valley. Fairfield has a large agricultural area, but of course growth is inching it's way in. By for now... Dick
