Hello Mapp Squad! I have 3 map requests, but they are all European cities, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to find topographical information. However, I'll throw them out there anyway, and if any of them get made, I'll be very pleased! 1) Barcelona, Spain (There is one on the STEX but it looks rather approximate) 2) Florence (Firenze), Italy 3) Strasbourg, France Thank you again to the members of the Mapp Squad - it's great to see so many new maps being added to the STEX all the time!

Zanesville, OH

That is a great-looking city! You did exceedingly well in the realism department I might add - I love that you have a very recognizable downtown with a bunch of skyscrapers surrounded by lots of sprawl. A lot of CJs I see have these random bunches of skyscrapers, which just looks disorganized, or else they have a lot of skyscrapers surrounded by trees, which in my opinion looks a little ridiculous and is definitely not realistic. You avoided both of those pitfalls and it definitely shows! I love the map, too - I was hoping it was available on the MEX, but I guess I'll just have to read your CJ in envy (although there are definitely a lot of cool maps on the MEX.) Two requests: 1) It would be great if we could see a transportation map and 2) I was wondering if you could elaborate a little more on how to produce get those wide-angle shots, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Well, awesome CJ - I look forward to more updates. Have some bunnies:

Ashtabula, Ohio

Williamstown, Massachusetts

Odessa, Ukraine

Edinburgh, Scotland

Albany, New York

Thanks so much for the tip! I tried dowloading the mod several times, but my computer kept telling me the folder was invalid or corrupted - do you know who to contact to fix that? P.S. I love the Orangeview CJ - what a great idea!

Anyway, I had a question that actually referred to the very first image in this thread (which unfortunately is no longer viewable ) I noticed that across your canals you had some very elegant bridges where the road just stayed flat the whole way, without the abrupt rises and dips that normally appear when you simply place a bridge. I have experimented with the terraforming, but I still get these ugly monstrosities which look very out of place in the canals, and I was wondering if you had any advice on getting such nice bridges. Your work on Olympia is really amazing and is by far the most creative and artistic that I have ever seen - you have really pushed the envelope in terms of showing what SimCity 4 can do. I think Olympia is the city that everyone wished they lived in . Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing some new screen shots!
