You'll have to get the SC4 Texture fix from Simcity.com(the old site[which you can still access]) or SC4Devotion in the maxis files section althought i belive you'll have to register.

London metro area:Anywhere from 11 million to 14 million. Greater London:7 million. Lambeth:250,000.(ish)

Have a look at this site =)

http://turbosquid.com/gmax. Its pretty hard to use so i suggest this tutorial. By the way i laughed so hard when i saw your screen name

I'm sorry,but you need a even better less pixalated roof texture.Try on a texture database on the web somewhere. I'll try and find you a suitable one when i have the time.

I like to think there isn't really a typical british style But sadly there is And you've created it such a way that my eyes pop out of me' sockets when i marvel over your pictures.One thing i would've done though is move the tower blocks away from the Cathedral so as to create you own protected sightlines as they have in London & all over the world.Also if there were some London(ish) sort of midrise Blocks such as ill Tonkso( notably 110 cannon street which he just realesed) has just realesed mixed in with say,some porky's,zero 7's or Gascooker's buildings around the Cathedral in an almost uniform grid(like the Centre of Glasgow for example),it would create a feeling of real density around the core of your city. https://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc273/jayo_011/2699002057_87e7c0719f_b.jpg Now,if you look in the foreground of the picture on the above link,you'll see what i mean.If you have a look around the Cannon street area you'll see a real dense area of 4 to 8 or more story buildings and if somehow you could recreate this,it would be the first British CJ that actually had the same High Density of London and captured that kind of Bland Corporate 80's office style area.

But did you take onboard what me & jasoncw have said.No worries.Its just you didn't reply

Your going to have to stretch them in BAT.The GMAX/BAT camera compresses things making them appear smaller.I have know idea how to stretch BATs as i've never needed to do it.Try giving Jasoncw a pm.To be Honest,i'm not even sure its possible.You may have start again.This is what BAT experts advised me to do when i was just starting.

Notes;Extracts from will fox's thread over at skyscrapercity. This landmark tower will be the first building in the UK to break the 1000 foot barrier. It will be nearly twice the height of the Gherkin, and one of the tallest buildings in Europe. London's first truly "mixed use" tower, the floors will be divided into a mixture of residential, office, hotel, retail and public space. Following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the tower was structurally redesigned to improve stability and reduce evacuation times. The tower went through a lengthy public inquiry. It was approved by the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, on 19th November 2003. The total cost of the project is in excess of £1.2bn and includes major refurbishment of the neighbouring train and bus stations. The tower has two main tenants lined up - Shangri-La Hotels, who will be occupying floors 34-52 - and Transport for London who will take some of the office space. Eastgate/inacity/piccadily tower-Manchester. Current Manchester skyline. When completed piccadily tower (designed by Ian Simpson) will become the tallest building in the UK outside London.

Rotate it-Does it still do that? If not-Then you've rendered it northwards and saved it and its altered the lighting.

London: London to overtake New York and rival Silicon Valley Quote: Here's a warning to America. Within the next eight years, London will overtake New York as the world's financial hub, and it will rival Silicon Valley as a technology centre. According to a Developing the Future study by Microsoft, consultancy Intellect, the British Computer Society and London's City University, London's capital markets will have overtaken New York, and it will rival Silicon Valley in the number of internet-based start-ups being launched. London's Soho will have the biggest movie digital effects industry outside Hollywood and the UK will lead the world in the production of video games. It's also very much about the way London has positioned itself in world markets. "With its unique overlap of financial services, technology, media, venture capital, and government interests, London is rapidly becoming a global hub for a new class of entrepreneur as well as being an international capital for creative industries such as digital effects for the film industry and video games. The emergence of rapidly expanding economies in developing countries such as China and India are simultaneously creating new business opportunities for UK-based enterprises." London to steal Wall St crown Quote: "London is no longer the second city. Right now it is up there with New York," The numbers speak for themselves. "The last two years were sensational," said Cayne, a Wall Street veteran. He argues that London has stolen a march on other European rivals. "There are many, many successful people in this town. Nobody minds getting on a plane to London these days. It's exciting and the restaurants are great." London is rated ahead of New York in a recent survey of market participants, and outscores the Big Apple in turnover in many markets, including foreign exchange. New York's strength mainly rests on domestic US equity and bond trading, but that is being eroded Focus: Squeezing the Big Apple Quote: Michel Peretie, chairman of Bear Stearns' international division, shares Cayne's enthusiasm. "You can deal with both America and the Far East in the same day, he said. "London is becoming more attractive for some American companies because of Sarbanes-Oxley (the tougher American disclosure requirements introduced in the wake of the Enron and Worldcom scandals). "London is probably the most international city in the world. I am a Frenchman and I love my country, but I feel as at home here as in Paris." According to Jeremy Isaacs, chief executive of Lehman Brothers in Europe and Asia: "People go to Tokyo to do business in Japan, they go to New York to do business in America, but they come to London to do business with the rest of the world." Oliver Hemsley agrees. The chief executive of Numis, the investment bank that has raised money for a string of firms in the London market, said: "The Americans have forgotten that you do not have to list in the US. There are alternatives. London's welcoming and flexible approach to both foreign companies and investors means that it has emerged as the place for foreign companies." Seven years ago, when the euro was launched, some experts warned that Britain's non-participation would so badly handicap the City as to hand over its role as Europe's leading financial centre to Paris or Frankfurt. In fact the opposite has happened; London has thrived, to the point where it is challenging New York. THE Corporation of London recently commissioned a study, The Competitive Position of London as a Global Financial Centre. It showed, as Michael Snyder of the corporation put it, "that there are only two genuinely global financial centres - London and New York". The report, by consultants Z/Yen, showed that Frankfurt, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore were all well below the two leaders on a range of measures, including the availability of skilled personnel, the regulatory environment, access to international markets, the tax regime, and access to customers. And, intriguingly, when it came to the battle of the giants, London ranked slightly ahead of New York. Hard data bear this out. Daily foreign-exchange turnover in London is

Patriotsoes this pano do it justice? Salt&sauce:Thanks for that-Twas interesting;made good reading The future of Liverpool??

No,It was designed to sit on its own,not in a cluster-I might look good in manhatten at about 400 metres tall away near Battery park city.

The textures on the skylon need to be improved(sharpened.etc)They look to blurry almost. But apart from that,Good luck Nice to see another Uk BATer around these forums I'm off!

London-Its the richest city in the world per capita
