So heres the deal, I have the tools necessary to import custom buildings from Google Sketchup PRO which can export directly to .3ds. I can open it successfully. I click on the BAT utility tool within GMax however everytime I try to export no matter the quality/zoom setting I always get the error code 6 and hangs at 13%. Any suggestions, thoughts on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated

I was in the beta, confirmed transports will only be available in PO mode. However they did express interest providing this option free closer to the end of the year in a new update.

I'm glad I didn't waste my money on this game, I was lucky enough to get in the beta. Hell I can't even login to the beta site. There is no excuse for a game to take 10 days to arrive especially when most if not all console games typically arrive to Gamestop/EB the morning of or the day before and pre orders usually are available the day of the street date release. Whoever is in charge of distribution is acting like they have never done this before.

this is what they get for rushing an unfinished product.

I know what that's like... I accidentally formatted a hard drive that had all my important data on it, and found out it was unrecoverable after a mistake I made... lost 200gb!!! ARGH

I suppose this thread can be closed?

starting download woot! Mine is between 1mb-1.5mb/sec 32 min left hehehehe

Help?quote> don't waste your money on that crap, goto beta.citiesxl.com/download and choose the p2p downloader, its the fastest and its free. Took me about 30-35 minutes to download

Originally posted by: dstordy If you are having problems with the p2p downloaded, make sure you run it with administrator privileges so it can write to the program files directory on you C: drive. I cant believe it took me so long to figure this out!quote> good find, I'll be sure to do that on my Windows 7 RC1 computer at home tonight

I saved my key just in case but after the game is installed do you need it again in order to activate it? I can't do anything till I get home from work.

oh yeah then I already did that so I'm good. Users who have already played, first impressions, though I spose we can't really disclose anything due to the NDA :/

I have to wait for another 6 hours before I can download it, at work grrr

Introduction Welcome to my new CJ titled the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. This is my first attempt at modeling a real world region (my hometown area) based on Google Earth data. While the game mechanics may limit the creativity of making a "perfect model" I will do my best to work around the grid system & other game limitations. The first picture set will be in its infancy of this project, currently I am starting in the NW corner of the metro (Brooklyn Center/Brooklyn Park MN). The map region itself is apart of a map pack I found on the STEX, I configured it as close as possible to the real deal, map size is approximately 7x10 tiles 7H10W, each city tile is 256x256. Each tile is 2.5454 square miles, the entire region covers approx. 178.17 square miles. Each 'smaller' tile is approximately 16 meters translation to feet is the equivalence to 52.4934383 feet (52.5 feet). Using this method helps with the accuracy of transportation infostructure, buildings, landmarks (throughout the project I may need assistance from Simtropolis users to create unique buildings for this region, (fortunately Google Earth has 3D models of these buildings already), etc. As with any CJ of this magnitude will take some time to complete. I will upload pictures of the region showing the many lakes of this metro area in my next posting.

I would like to see region play, I want to be able to recreate my cj that I started with sc4 but with precision realism, as my quote suggests, "realism is not a desire but a necessity."

Does anyone know how to change a growable file into a plopable file? What program do I need to make this mod. I believe the user that made Discount Tire Co no longer exists and I need it to be plopable with jobs for a cj I'm working on

As my message title states, I am aware there is a development thread @ SC4 devotion, but is the entire project dead? Did it hit a bump in the road where this useful plug in can't be used?

oh yeah for sure, I gotta find some good railroad packs first that actually might be my next post after I get some highways done

Its officially been one month that I started this CJ back on 5/8/08, to date 77 replies & 1378 page views. I have released 7 more pictures in this update hope you enjoy.

nice job with the seaport in such a compact space
