I have to say that I absolutely love New Gelderland - every single part of it. I like your building and planning style, psander5! And what can I say about the latest update... well, it surely didn't disappoint. I think the explanation of why the area is named Greenwood is ingenious in its basicness; It reminds me of something Terry Pratchett woud have done if he was to explain an etymology of some name in Discworld novels... Anyways. Park is very nice, I love these two ponds connectedby that small tunnel - I have to admit that the flora around them looks just right, you haven't used too little of it, or too much. I am not entirely sure why, but I like the Y-shaped interchange of GLR in the middle of area... Seems to me that it's just where it should be, and I can't imagine the other place in which it could be lcated. The next pictures showcasing the (beautiful I have to admit) mattb's houses and the commercial area along the main road are great as well, and I especially like the one with big shops in the shape of boxes along West Park Road - maybe it's due th the little path on the back of the ones on the right hand side of the avenue. Trumpet interchange between M1 and M11 looks good I guess, but I can't really say anything about the 'usefulness' of it, since when it comes to transport, the most elaborate interchange I've ever done was a roundabout made of One-way roads. One final thing I like is the sportsfield next to the South Hendon elementary school, which looks good, and I love the use of diagonal filler lots there. Overall, great work, psander! I'll be sure to come back for some more New Gelderland soon, since it is truly a standout CJ! Keep it up! ~Piotr Edit: Alright, I looked some more at the industrial area of the city, and I think that if there was anything that could be improved in terms of looks in here, I guess it would be it. Is every road here needed per se? I think that some of them can be removed in favor of streets. I don't know how's the traffic in the area going, so I'm speaking from clearly theoretical point of view. This zone can also be improved IMO by downloading some custom factories, etc. I would especially recommend the works of great Jestarr, most of which can be found on LEX [linkie]. There's also plenty of bigger and smaller industrials here on STEX. From here I would especially recommend Industrial Logistics Lots by Diamond - I think they will fit in your city.

Great work with that airport, Victor! I have to admit that I absolutely love the transition from the airport's green to the fields. A starting/landing plane is also a great addition. I also see that you photoshopped this pic a bit, yet you didn't overdo it. Overall, awesome pic! Keep up great work! Piotr

Great work with those block of flats! They look very depressing, and I think that's what you wanted Awesome lotting, planning and photoshopping (nice rain effect!). BTW, when I see those communist era tall high-rises 'growing' in those sad looking, gray tenements, can't help but hear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhRu9yzlTRI... Keep up the great work! Piotr

Very nice work you did with this harbour area. That city has some of the most transparent, clear water I've seen in my life! But indeed, the boats do look like they float above the water. Perhaps some weird graphics bug? Who knows? Keep up the great work! Piotr

Great work with this cj! I love the concept of history lessons illustrated by SC4 pics. It's a truly original idea that's also executed very well. Your building skills are good, and I can't wait to see more of the different looks of New York! Keep up the great work! Piotr

Great work with this update, Art! I love how you manage to keep this USSR feeling from Maroanestra while still making something fresh and new. I love those blocks of flats, I love those w2ws, and, perhaps the most of all, I love those railways on the top of the pic. Absolutely awesome work, my friend! Piotr

As I have already told you on MSN, it's sad that such a magnificent CJ ended. Well, nothing lasts forever, and the updates of your new CJ on SC4D are as great, if not even better than most of Maroanestra (which still is very good.) Keep up the great work my friend! Piotr
