While it isn't the exact thing I had in mind, it is exactly how I pictured us having to go about doing it, though I must say those results look as if they are worth the time! thank you!

-Unable to find any initial posts via my initial tag searchs, perhaps this idea exists elsewhere with a remedy, if not; here goes. -Is there anyone here who has, or has knowledge of anyone who has successfully created a full regional, topographical, transit map? Now, unlike our very archaic birdseye view in region mode we have been lovingly staring at since '04, is there a direct aerial version technique of this? A file? Maybe even a seperate program to create such a thing from code? I considered screenshotting each and every cities Traffic maps, most likely in traffic volume mode for visibility purposes (in contrast to the eye straining green and red), and slowly stitch it together in a quilt to resemble a transit map from an aerial point complete with topography. For the many reasons I would want a full scale regional map, this labor intensive, insurmountably 8-bit map, with no discerning between roads, rails, and highways, seems un-candidate, when the regional view provides such a deeply detailed transit map replete with a legend, though lacks the topography aspect of data maps. Given that this game is like most things, code; (and now almost 20 years old adds a gray), not to mention picked apart and put together by those in our community skilled enough to create tools for greater creative utility; something of this ilk might exist by now (I'm hoping 😁). Or am I the only one who desires a giant boardroom map of their region so detailed, even guests would second guess if its a real location?

Thank you very much. And I do understand the logic of yes this a build it up game, but its a plane of creativity. And that varies person to person. Thank you for the input.

I have often wanted a Disaster mod (assuming that's possible) that took the Fighter jets from Area 51, the Helicopter from the army base, and the tanks from there and had them come out in a large number and wreak havoc in a battle type disaster that would essentially cause some severe damage to the city. Seeing as I don't possess any skills in this field nor know if this is a possible act, would anyone know if a mod close to this magnitude exists or would be able to exist, and if so, be posted? It would be much appreciated and undeniably useful for stories.
