Sorry if this has been posted here already... According to Wikipedia, Will Wright has indicated that Maxis intends to take Sim City in a "new direction" after new versions had become "steadily more complex". He was quoted as saying, "SimCity kind of worked itself into a corner, (because) we were still appealing to this core SimCity group. It had gotten a little complicated for people who had never played SimCity. We want to take it back to its roots where somebody who had never heard of SimCity can pick it up and enjoy playing it without thinking it was really, really hard." The article can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sim_city_4#Future_updates Based on this, I think the next Sim City will be much more simplified and streamlined, and will probably have less options to control different things in the game. Everyone's been talking about all kinds of new features they expect in SC5, but judging by Will Wright's comments above, I think we will all be very disappointed. I was really crushed when I first saw those comments... I hope the people at Maxis have had a change of heart since these comments were made in May 2004.

I'm a total newb, just starting to put custom stuff in SC4. I've been searching around STEX the past few days, and haven't been successful - I'm posting this as a last resort. I've started building an airport using RMIP vol 1 to 3, but I'm looking for the following things to add onto it... 1) Fighter jet on tarmac, U-Drive-It capable. Ready-to-plop, possibly an Area 5.1 replacement? (not a whole base, just the jet on the tarmac) 2) Same thing as #1, but with a military helicopter. Ready-to-plop, possibly an Army Base replacement? 3) All kinds of planes (military and civilian) parked on tarmac, for use as props. Ready-to-plop. Can someone kindly point me in the right direction?
