Hello All, as a fan of a sim games and similar to them, I would like to present you one game that will be released soon. I hope most of you heard about it, but I will post this topic for the ones that haven't. The game is not a city builder but a mass transport simulator like Transport Tycoon. As everybody is missing that part from Cities XL, I think that this game will be interesting for most of Cities XL fans. The game is real jewel - every kind of mass transit is available - buses, trams, metro (elevated, ground and underground), even boats and helicopters. You can plan every line, stop, ticket prices, even you can advertise your company on the TV, radio and Internet. Every citizen has its own profile - name, job, place to live, place to go to leisure and so on. There is a campaign with 4 cities to play, also sandbox and attention! - a map editor. There is an open beta, also a demo will be available soon - so visit the official site and have a look: http://www.citiesinmotion.com/ The game will be out on 22nd of February - you can preorder it now. I hope you will like it! P.S. Sorry if advertising other games is prohibited here - I post it in Off-Topic and hope it's ok.

Originally posted by: Munchiez Hi! This looks like something I would like to play! Now imagine if you can add this to sim city 4 and mix them together, that would make an awesome game!quote> Yeah, exactly! But if you mix them with Cities XL this will be the perfect game

Wow Hyperwolf, this is just great! Will you share how you do this? Will you publish a mod?

Originally posted by: Damastius Good job Arkanes, how do you make those screenshots with the interface? Hehe.quote> Printscreen and then Ctrl+V ?

Hi Arkanes! Very realistic city! I like it. One tip from me: If you press F11 you will get a screenshot without the user interface. Then you can find it as desribe here: http://forum.citiesxl.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1315&p=17289#p17289

I totally support what soltangris said! The only words that we can say to GlobexCo is "Thank you" and no single word about criticism! Originally posted by: soltangris I think it's very rude to criticize Globex's work like this. He's a single man, not a developing company! You can't expect him to make a mod by himself, without charging anything, and then make it compatible with all mods that exist out there! He also has neither the resources, nor the time to attend to all requests and even if he did, you have absolutely no right to expect him to do it! Nobody's paying him anything for this work, he's doing it out of love for this game and its fans! I strongly suggest that you people stop criticizing and/or rephrase your complaints. I guess it's OK to point out faults, bugs and so on, but you can't make it sound like critics and you absolutely can't demand anything of him. And by the way this is not an official position of any kind, it's simple human common sense. If anybody doesn't like it, feel free to contact me in a PM.quote>

But does Unlocker v.3 works with Cities XL 2011?

Awesome! How did you get the parking lots? And can you make some tutorial abaout how this expressway is made?

Very well, luddmamm! The downtown looks beaufitul! Strange bugs with roads, but the game is full of it Most of it I want to see your transport networks - subway, buses. But I thing that you will show them after the city is almost finished,

Great! One question luddmamm - I've always been wandering - are you playing with cheats?

Originally posted by: GlobexCo This thread will be closed in a near future... We don't know what Focus want to do, but we asked it!quote> I suppose to renew this thread with questions for Focus about current game and its future.

Originally posted by: soltangris Originally posted by: jazyje OH, I don't believe it's worth downloading the game for free.... After all, if we do that, we can never expect developers to make updates or patches....quote> Exactly! And this is even more valid for specialized games with limited audience, like citybuilders. The fact is (as I've stated inumerous times) that CXL has the full potential to blow away SC4, if it develops further. But for the company to decide developing is worth it the sales figures have to be good enough.quote> Yeah, for sure, that's why I bought the game and spent my 20 euro. But there are people who already bought the game, complaining that they stil didn't received their cd keys. That is ridiculous

Originally posted by: soltangris Yeah, I was really delighted to see that 'The boss had to leave the country because of his wife' And yes, it seems services' coverage areas are gonna be much bigger challenge now. Also, the graphics showing the coverage are much clearer, with well-definet colors. I don't know if anybody noticed also a bunch of other small interface changes: for example, in the resource panel, if you hover over the resource, you'll see an exact breakdown of city production, consumption, and whatnot. In the trade panel, you also have additional info if you hover over resources.quote> Yeah, now one hospital doesn't cover almost the entire city but only a small area. However, it costs less amount of money. This is quite more realistic - now every neighborhood will have it own hospital/school/police station as it is in the real life. Also the games runs very smooth and looks very well with all the particles effects and planes. Finally, the game worths its 20 euro, no matter that it was published cracked yesterday in torrent trackers

This is how to lay onground / elevated subways: 1. Select the station button and place the first station of the line 2. Hold down Shift button and move mouse up until the rail go overground. Keep moving up until you see a bridge showing 3. After the onground / elevated section, bring the subway underground by holding Shift and move mouse down until the next station is showed 4. Place the station That is in simple steps. There is no special bridge for rails in bridges menu.

I will copy my first impressions that I've posted on another forum: Good things: * The grafic engine seems to be optimized a bit - the game is very fast and responsible now * Parks\plazza placement is very very easy now - you can fill a bigger area without any problems; the are a lot more trees when placing a wooden area (park) and the cities now look far more greener * The new types of roads brings many diverse in the game ( I only played american styles till now) * The interface is much more responsible * There is some ambient sounds (not so good but they are present) * It seems that now road are aligned perfectly at 90 deegres (you know what I mean I believe) * When clicking for example on traffic overlay, a legend appears that tells you that green is good and red is bad (same with every overlay). Not that you don't know what it means, but it is good feature * The presense of metro (read about that in the Bad things ) * The new Chinatown and other buildings looks ver nice and realistic * The smokes from the factories and planes are very good and bring realism Now the bad thing: * I'll start with the metro - not flexible at all. I mean that the underground part is quite well (with some notes) but the onground and elevated are terrible. I don't understand why there aren't an onground stations * Once created, you cannot extend the line - this means that all of your city must be complete before placing metro lines * The space around the highway's intersections is empty like in Cities XL - they should put some trees there for example like in roundabouts * They didn't make an option to place trees - this is partly balanced by the more trees in parks, but it would be a nice feature * There is no option for placing straight bridges - the feature that was available from the Cities XL release but removed after one of the patches. Of course the option to select a road button after selecting a bridge still works * Metro and metro again - why isn't it more flexeible Apart of the bad things, I think that Cities XL 2011 is wonderful game and it worth its 20 euro! I hope that Focus will continue to develop it and release some patches that are fixing the issues and add more content.

Originally posted by: Winter Dragon Yes, but because I already registered one copy of the game last year, my email address is now locked to the cd key I registered with then. I cannot use my email address now to register the LE key because my email is already used for the standard key.quote> OK, but what is the problem to use another email account and register the new cd key with it.

It's better to buy the game now for 5$ and get discount of 50% for the new game. For those who hasn't the game already of course
