Josh Riddle, If you drag a rail network over the area that the highway will be then you will get a nice smooth surface to work with. It will make you (already fantastic) highways even better!

The largest city ever, I mean ever
bigthing replied to paulmc's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
How did you get it to run that quickly? What are your computer specs? -
Why I'm glad SimCity4 Online Mode died
bigthing replied to Xyloxadoria's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
I think that they could just bring out a big patch (save them rebuilding a game) that fixes all known bugs, maybe adds new transit networks, make loading times a little smoother if you have a MASSIVE plugins folder (me ) and just general improvements to the game. It would keep the things that we like about SC4 and would probably bring up hype again. That way they get the money that they care so much about. BigThing out ;-) -
Classic sign of the one problem with NAM, its really easy to mess up the install :-P Hey CaptCity... is there anyway to make the installer recognise which side your game drives on?
-
Could someone create a mod (similar to HSRP) that, using a starter piece will allow for super fast travel in a subway? That way you could link your cities that have the airports via neighbor connections. Would the traffic simulators allow travel over long distance if the speed was high?

Subways and rails not showing up, except in U Drive it mode.
bigthing replied to billy_lam26's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
You have to have to have a large usage before you will see automata... if you do and still don't see them then check your graphics settings. Turn automata to the top setting (this is often reset of you patch or reinstall). That should get you seeing something :-D Good luck! -

You say subways... even though you could in SC3K, you cannot see subways in this version. However, on elivated rail you can :-D -

Woa! what are you doing! You said that it was small inb front of the big ones... well i skip right past those big ones to get to yours! I can assure you that everyone is equal on Simtropolis even though some people forget that from time to time. Although if you wish to stick with your decision then i will respect it.

ahahaha, it may not be as we thaught... according to a link on the simtropolis homepage, EA have just registered a domain called SimCity5.com! They have also extended the domain for simcity.com! Could Sim City 5 be just around the corner?

Download full region with complete cities?
bigthing replied to NathanKett's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
possible but impractical :-D -
Can you force SC to build a bridge or a tunnel?
bigthing replied to Akumos's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
I believe that there is a tutorial on making land bridges on the omnibus (you are not allowed to usually) yes! here it is https://www.simtropolis.com/omnibus/index.cfm/Main.SimCity_4.How_to_Build_a_Land_Bridge i believe that you need to download a tool though... -
Simtropolis Chat Attendance Record Breaking Attempt
bigthing replied to simmaster07's topic in Simtropolis Related
I couldn't make it because of time zones (and i was sleepy :-P) -
what specifically were you building at the time?

Cars, Buses and trucks, why not electric?
bigthing replied to robin9000's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
It would probebly be fueled by a hydrogen fuel cell... the most promisting future renewible scource of power for cars. Busses could run on bio-ethenol (bio-diesel) or liquid methane (used in garbage trucks for some american cities) -
Is Simmars a Marsian Version of SC?
bigthing replied to joshriddle's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
It is currently in development. It even has it's own section in the forum (under the sim city 4 builders section). I believe that there is a beta out at the moment, but currently it is quite limited in terms of content (i think :-P). -
Woops, i forgot to add the link :-P It looks like you have it now so all i can say is good luck! Perhaps you could post a screen shot once your done?

Are custom airports even functional?
bigthing replied to edman2012's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Even though they are not functional (unless you plop one of the airport trams), i still make them because i enjoy experimenting with the pieces :-D -
Highway - Avenue intersection ramp
bigthing replied to Tornadoli's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
You can install the patch with mods installed... The game was designed to have mods installed (that's why there is a plugin folder) -
You can get 1x1 lots that you can plop within your city that give exactly the same advantages as having an airport. Also if you create a large airport in a region you could have those 1x1 lots in all of the cities near by to increase realism (sims travel across tiles to airport) although they don't really :-P
-
Don't be drowned in the huge amount of different lots that are used to create a big airport. Take youre time, learn how the pieces join together. Its like doing a puzzle while the final picture is being drawn. Practice will make your skills better, and take your time! Good Luck!
-
It's fine now :-/ Weird... I love the way the el rail fits into the city, it makes it look so much better! In the 2nd picture it looks fantastic with the Mod that makes the concrete things underneth (i forget what it is called but i have it too!)
