Is there any mod / settings that will enable usable free camera movements? EDIT: just found one - http://www.citiesxs.net/forum/index.php/topic,983.0.html

and the elevated rail too !

nice free camera mode and i hope trains will be soon in-game

@plasticsim - when exacly were you in the cinema last time? sorry, just kidding,, but if you compare original SimCity 4 to Rush Hour, i hope that is what will happen to Cities XL too in near future..

thanks a lot i am looking forward to weekend to play with it .. you people don't like the boxes representing cars? i found them quite cute, actually are there boxes for pedestrians too? EDIT: well, it works fine more or less, i have even better FPS...

@jeremy12: if I understand, you want better AA on regular objects instead of on shadows.. so, why did you stop on 8x multisampling? if you have nVidia, try to download nHancer and set AA to supersampling or combined - well, you might end up with 20fps whatever high-end your card is, but if better AA is really what you want.. for ATI i don't know what options you have, maybe 16x AA ?

@moaku: ok,, i think i'll just wait a few months before returning to the game so i can play without shadows

in RL citizens just happily pay taxes and don't want services?

nope

illustration how my shadows look like (see stepping of shadow from the building and flickering of shadows under trees) best visible in fullscreen HD (strange transitions when zooming out is an video encoding problem, not CXL..)

where can i find the modding info how to find/read very low, ..., high details settings files? (you may want to respond in this forum instead: Custom Graphics Settings?) ...i want to create my own high config with shadows disabled - i hate the way shadows are cast - i don't know why the outlines of shadows have crappy steps (that cannot be explained by the lack of AA - see example)

this thread in CXL Custom Content Creation forum might be usefull, but i'd like to find more mod info to create my own config files ) For old but high-end graphical card owners @earwax_man - why did you put SC4 related video on CXL Technical Issues forum? just to annoy us? (SC4 post was removed)

i want to turn the shadows off too - they look really bad IMO (on high settings with i7 + gtx295)

Not sure what insentives will keep me paying though, maybe reaching certain milestones will get you titles and new buildings/structures that are functional... quote> Personally, I don't want to pay for inferior product (not having all buildings unlocked the first month is inferior for me) - so this system would prevent me from buying the first month of online playing. But if one month was for free, then it might probably work...
