Hey, thanks for reading / browsing through my first update. Like all good simtropolis citizens I thank you for taking the time to read through this, aswell as the time it may take you to write a comment if you are so inclined. I will read all comments and try and reply to every last one of them. As this is really a personal experiment, both the layout of the thread and the CJ itself I appreciate and consider all tips and tricks you guys will hopefully throw my way. So thank you again, and I will see you hopefully in under a weeks time for the second installment of Gnetus. Comment away.

Im downloading fine, 200kb/s and up most of the time on multiple files, I think its where you live, your router type, how far you are from your wireless if your on wireless, etc...

I can see the pics in your first 2 posts, but not the one right before you posted if that is what you mean...

Hey guys, I've got a very large update in cooking right now, at a stage somewhere between being poked and prodded to make sure its cooked and it being pulled out of the oven. I have developed the area to the south of what I have shown you, and in the proccess lied to you already - but those are the only hints I am gunna give about content; maybe one teaser pic will find its way on before I edit and post the full thing. Its currently pushing 200 screenshots, so I will have to edit it down considerably - but I have taken into consideration all advice, so I will include the 'making of' style in this next update. I of course do need to reply to my first patrons: @Blondie: Thanks a lot, the font is called WC Wunderbach incase you want to use it yourself . I would photoshop some tree's for around the edges, but I would rather not risk making it look tacky - we all play SC4 here, we know its limitations. Ill just try and avoid being at that zoom level when taking pics of that town from now on. And yes, I am using a couple of mods and demand modifiers, I have all the regular ordinances ticked along with many other radical ordinances - but I will be limiting the use of these to the downtown's of each metro area, mostly because then you need much to much commercial to make it realistic. @Teep Wow, thanks to you I realised that I was missing a single tick on my graphics settings, so those are up. But the problem of the driveways was a missing texture file, that is now sorted out. I also grabbed a bunch of packs of plopable fields thanks to you, although they are mighty annoying being only 1x1 fields . @Fatty: Thanks - as said above I will include development pics now! @35263 Post Count: Thanks @Hawk: Would you believe the time to photoshop all of them was under 5 seconds? Hehe - maybe I will throw out a tutorial later on to apply the simple things I have here, its very basic - glad you find it so effective! But what do you mean allign? I have them centered, which should make it appear centered on everyones screens, when I put my resolution at 800,600 it still works, not sure what the problem is - Ill allign them left this time, see if it helps! @Pedro Ambass Hehe, thanks a bunch, what appeals to you about the region shot - seems very basic to me . Also what do you mean 3000 like, I skipped that one after 2000 haha! Thanks to all the replies and I mean no offence by the names!

Looking amazing, cool idea and all. Just maybe swap out those maxis windmills for ones that don't chop the heads off your sims?! Hahaha - only kidding, again, looking great!

Looking good. Like the guide approach.

Cool. Cant wait to see some ingame pieces!

Very nice. Love everything about it!

And so it begins...

This is a very good idea. I will watch.

Love it. Great as always!

Other than the fact that the runways are a little small this is an extremely realistic CJ and something that anyone wanting to have an impressive realistic CJ should model on.

I don't know about other people, but I can't see a single image!

Grats on 2k Replies!

I think most of us fans of this CJ could wait a lot longer.

Sorry I haven't been active in a looong time. Ill try and post some more photo's this weekend or sooner if I can find the time. Thanks for the update Muck!

Sick! These are brilliant.

Very cool video. Laughed at the first image.

My friend bought a 2,000$ Computer just for this game. It plays really well on it, but I think he might be a little addicted.

Wow, a very good start to a larger city journal, although I would definitely recommend a couple things. - First, remove some airports, while they do look good in larger cities, you have a lot, and most of the runways end in a large building. - Second, check those roads, a couple of the ones beside the airports look very bumpy and are a good several floors off the ground. (Same applies for railroads) - Turn off zots, (Tastyzots, if I recall is the code) so that you cant see the silly green cars everywhere.

Looks very good. I am trying something like this in one of my cities, although not to the same extent.

Looking Good! That road layout is going to look sick from close up.

looking forward to pics

very cool, and 100 tiles?! impressive!
