You've put some really good original stuff in here. Great job!

Good question. With the population of the area almost a quarter of a million, and the large cargo facility, they needed two runways. In fact, the cargo company would not have located here without a second runway. They launch dozens of planes each day and need a dedicated runway. 

Great use of rocks, vegetation and water. Super nice!

Wonderful job on creating a realistic natural environment. Everything is done so nicely with such detail that it's like looking at a photograph.

Infamousjbe: The simple answer is yes. Most commercial is plopped, 3/4 of industrial is plopped, and residential is almost all grown. Thanks for the comments and for stopping by!

Some of our large cities have moved their airports out away from the city. I think that makes sense many times for future growth.   You're creating a super nice region!

Very nice work on the beaches. The liquid refreshments must be flowing freely by the looks of the lines at the port-a-potties! 

Nicely laid out city and great collection of buildings. I noticed your tunnel entrances. Where did you find those ?

Interesting!

The canals and elevated rail make for a great picture. Very nice layout!

You do a wonderful job with your communities, with very believable looking development. Great use of MMP's as well!

Update: Deerfield is just South of Brattleboro is known for it's rivers, woodlands and farms. The old village has many of it's original buildings with some newer construction coming in. Shopping center and some technology industry. Variety of businesses moving in along the highway. The area's largest insurance company. Shopping center with out-parcels. Affordable housing. Crossroads with the new Commerce Parkway. Commerce Parkway winds around the country club. By for now... Dick

Pretty snazzy work here!!

Nicely done neighborhoods, with an interesting mix of structures. That's a huge region with a bunch of potential! 

I can't imagine someone trying to climb that mountain!

That is a big university, and looks like it has something to offer to almost anyone.

This is a nice start, with a lot of interesting content. I liked the draw bridge, and that long building in the port is pretty cool!   One thing you might consider is larger container storage yards. You'll find that most ports have acres of storage for containers.

It is the Olympic Terrain Mod. I had started with the Missouri Breaks Terrain Mod, but it keeps changing some of the textures from smooth to a puckered surface, though it looks more realistic over all IMO.   Thanks for the visit!

A show and a little snack after, before the last train.

"General Hissy Wirdleona" it is...    

You have a nice variety of buildings, so don't worry about some repetition. Some of them I've not seen before so that is always a treat. Nice job.

Seems as if it were an actual satellite photo Hey, thanks. It takes a while to get the natural elements in place so it will be some time before all the tiles are active. feeroz123, on 13 Mar 2014 - 07:36 AM, said: True. I think it will look great when all tiles are worked on. Good work rewright ! Thank you to the comments. I would like to stick with this map for a while. Just don't want it to become repetitious..

Benedict, on 14 Mar 2014 - 10:02 AM, said: That looks amazing. I know it takes a lot of patience and skill to have such a seamless view across multiple tiles. I've worked out a method for continuing the forests into the neighboring tiles, but you may notice I've changed my forestation a bit and I hope it will lend itself to that seamless look. Thanks!

Update: Plainfield is one of those towns that kind of get forgotten when overshadowed by a larger neighbor, in this case Brattleboro which sits in the larger valley just over the mountains. It is mainly an agricultural center but has diversified it's economy in recent years to include more manufacturing and retail. The valley has a good road system and plenty of land for development. It has seen an increase in folks moving in from the larger towns around Brattleboro, finding this area to be a nice place to settle down. WPFD is the valley's only radio station and has a talk format in the morning, switching to classic rock in the afternoon. By for now... Dick

This is quite an update, and catches the energy of a large metropolis.
