One more question. How can I reduce air pollution from the industrial regions? Planting lots of trees doesn't help that much

What is a CJ by the way? Looking at your sig Flumes.

This is nothing to do with your operating system or firewall but some problem with the site server. Me, along with thousands of others have the same problem and it can get very annoying. The only way I manage to download the files properly is to use Firefox, and when the download file stops downloading and goes corrupt, download again and click yes to overwrite, it will then continue from where the file left off.

Thanks for the help

Hey guys. I am currently having a problem with creating avenues. Every time I try to create them they don't show up properly. All I can see are the lamp posts and that's about it. How do I go about fixing this, and/or can someone send me a proper avenue file so I can make it work or something? Another query I have is what factors increase my population. Almost 3/4 of my city is covered in dense residential areas and houses but my population only lies at around 6000 only. I want to see tall buildings and apartment and offices in the regions, and what factors affect these?

how do I go about increasing my population and making the residential buildings grow taller? Because I'm at 3000 and I still don't see much change in the vertical height of the buildings and I've taken up a lot of my horizontal space on the map

Thanks for the great help Cowboy and N_O_Body

If it is possible, how I do make the game display them? Do I have to do something or build something? I have already built some stations by the wayquote> Captainmk.... I figured out your problem with the trains in case you didnt already solve it. Last night I created two new cities, both with passenger and cargo stations. I assumed that they would go from town to town but it did not. I had no train usage after several sim months. As soon as I added a second passenger station to one of my towns... the train began showing usage. quote> Thank you, I will try it out. is there a special way to connect train stations to the tracks? Because currently I'm just building them next to the tracks, and it doesn't seem connected except for what it seems some tiles next to the tracks or something. Also it is possible to build a train station anywhere away from tracks also, so there must be a specific way to link a train station to the track? @ Penguin, thanks, I do have rush hour fortunately, I will try it out One more thing is, I built an airport kind of far away from the main congested areas to make it realistic. But even though I connect a road to the airport to the residential areas when I click on the route info, I see nothing? And is there a special way I can link roads to some landmarks/buildings? Because however hard I try I don't seem to be getting rid of those "no road connection" signs on the buildings

Hey guys I have some more questios: 1. How do I get my train stations to look like this? With all the external platforms etc? http://simcity.ea.com/images/about/inside_scoop/udrive03.jpg Would really appreciate the help! BTW thanks for the helpful post N_O_Body

Thank you very much Jacqulina, Cowboy and Fred for your wonderful yet quick replies, I really appreciate it

Hey All I just got this game today and I have to say it's awesome. I haven't been addicted to something before in a long time. Anyway I have a few questions and problems about the game that I would like to clarify: 1. Is it possible to see actual trains on the railway tracks moving? because I don't see any right now. If it is possible, how I do make the game display them? Do I have to do something or build something? I have already built some stations by the way 2. How do I increase my population and build offices and houses for people to work in? Does it have to be all automatic by the game itself or can I build the offices myself? I will edit this post and post more later on if I have any other queries.
