Thank you so much. I have been searching for a week. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Is there a way to limit Freight Trucks using certain roads. I would like to limit my "Regional" road connections to Passenger cars and force freight to use the rail connections. Seems like a while back I saw something the limited traffic either on Road or Rail but my search is coming up empty.

Ok, I have been playing SC4 Rush hour for many years. I have downloaded countless plugins/modds and other great work from this site. I recently had to reload SC4 I cannot seem to get my translucent water back. When I build bridges etc... the support colums stop on the waters surface. I have all my graphic setting maxed and UI Transparency checked but underwater views still are not there. Any idea what I am missing here? Please help, thanks, Joel

Well - I have to say this is a wonderful addition and many thanks to all the talented people that have worked on it. One idea I had while reading through the last 3 pages. It was stated that the left-hand turn at avenue intersections would have go away. Not sure if it would make things terrible complicated but it seems that you might be able to work around this. Simply have a single rail line at intersections. Since graphically there are two lines you could have the the two lines merge into one at the intersection allowing enough room for the left-turn lane. Not sure how much chaos this would cause with the automa though. This solution might be even more worthy of the In-Median station. If the two lines merged to one into and out of the station there would be enough room graphically to have a small station on each side in the median itself. Would this be possible? You would basically have to instruct the automa to wait if there is a station already on the single track, and wait for one train to move onto the double tracks before proceeding.

Just wanted to thank you for the help. I was able to find the dialog box that pops behind. Guess it was there all along. One question though. Do you have to open up an existing region? I was hoping to create a new one. I directed it to the folder with a jpg and config. It saw the config and seemed to work on building the region. Then it pops up and it looks like a small flat region. the scroll wheel only seemed to effect the magnifcation of the image and even though I had scroll edges selected it didn't seem to scroll. All I could do was zoom in and out of the top corner. I think it made the region correctly because I opened up an 'overview' and it looked correct. I guess I just am not sure how to manuveur within the program. Seems like it is set up to scroll so I am not sure why that didn't work. Is a "How to" guide in the works??

Hmmm, I don't think this problem has come up previously (or been addressed). I had problems running the program after installation, keeped getting errors that were written to the log file. Finally I downloaded the dll the readme file talks about. I got all excited because it looked like that was going to work. I opened the program, the splash screen poped up and then the readme file opened. No program. Am I missing something. At first I thought maybe I opened the wrong file so I tried it several times and selecting SC4 Terraformer opens the readme file only. Am I doing something wrong? What should the program look like when it opens. As I said it looks like it is just opening the readme file in E.I.

Well, I have been away for a while and I have to say I am SHOCKED at how different the site looks. My initial reaction is negative I hate to say, but maybe it will grow on me. The home page really use to be something "different" now it is just the forums page. Will this change over time? Back to the way it use to be with the various scroll screens etc... This 'appears' very low tech compared to the way it was. I guess I will have to get use to it. Again sorry for being negative. It is just such a shocking change

Just figured I would bump this thread to let Paul know there are still fans out there waiting for updates

Not sure I remember where the exact location of the power plant is. Does it have to be in the exact same location. Under the Budget menu it still sees the original plant (even though it has been deleted). If I replop it wont it see 2 plants. Thanks for your help, I will try this out.

Well, I have made a grave error in one of my cities. I used the CSX Rural power plant (small Diesel generator I think) to start the city. Anyway, after playing with some other cities I went on a mission to clear out some old BATs that I was no longer using and removed this power plant from my menu. After reentering this particular city I noticed power problems and under the Utilities menu I found on Unknown power plant (the aforementioned power plant). I located the plant and deleted it - opps. Probably my first mistake. That didn't solve the problem. I exited and saved - opps again. I replaced the power plant in my menus hoping it would see it and fix the problem. Well, it sees it now (even though it was deleted and is no longer in the city). The problem is, over time my other power plants quickly loose funding and become inefficient. HELP. In order to play this city every 5 min I have to locate my existing power plants and redo there budget to Max. And every time they slowly reduce funding to Zero. Is there any cure. This city in integral to my region and I would hate to have to redo it.

Area 3 seems logical for a beginning area. With the river allowing the surrounding area to 'feed' the new city.

Beautiful Region. I just don't know what else to say. Very realistic layout. Keep it going.
