No replies because I posted 5 minutes ago To start with, the Maxis airports are Epic Fail. Adding to that is that sims don't use mass transit to get to them. Very unrealistic. So I found out the Radical Ordinance V2 (available here on ST) allows you to force sims to use mass transit. My airport in Curved had problems already, so it was time for an overhaul. The airport before: Many issues with current configuration: Only access is via 2 lane road No parking available except for Park and Ride station Private Helipads not being used, taking up parking space Solar collectors create a glare hazard when landing. Curved officials decided to buldoze the helipads and Park and Ride, relocate the solar collectors, widen the access road, create parking facilities and lots, and to add GLR-C access. The Underground GLR-C now pops up right by the west parking facilites, and continues to the east (the image is oriented south to north) The access road was upgraded to dual one-way roads, and parking lots were added in the place of the park and ride. Now, Sims can either take their car or the GLR-C from anywhere in the city to get to the airport. More updates later, and as always, I love your comments and feedback. Best, Alex

As Haljackey said, "Go for higher resolution"

Looking good!

INCREDIBLE!

I love it. one thing I would reccomend is a slope mod for more realistic rail inclines. Just a thought. Great city!

I like. I think you should check out the Rural Highway Mod. It will add more realisim to your freeways outside of urban areas. i look forward to future posts.

I think its funny you have a clinic in the midst of diry industry. Good job anyway!

A tree water and terrain mod would be a nice addition. Good job, I will follow this CJ closely

rtyb- I think you get that with the network  addon mod available here on the STEX, as well as light rail

Curved is the large tile directly east of Straight. It has about 200,000 sims and more than a million commercial jobs. It is less than 50 percent complete, however, so it will continue to grow thanks to its neighbor, Straight. Currently, Curved has 2 giant hospitals, 3 schools, an intergrated GLR/EL/Rail system; as well as 3 Maxis Elevated Highways, and 2 Maxis Ground Highways (Sunken and ground). It also has a RHW-6c network (under construction). I have made use of the Network Widening Mod as well as the NAM. I used a demand mod, however the city is financially self-sustainable. Currently, its income is $175,000 vs a $98,000 monthly expenses. The Main City: With networks marked: KEY: BLUE-Maxis Highway (Ground/Elevated) RED-Airport Boundary GREEN-EL Rail PURPLE:Rail BROWN-GLR (GLR AND Dual Network) I have yet to institute monorail/HSR into the city yet. Also not marked is the RHW 6-C network at the bottom of the image. Obviously the city is nowhere near complete. Here are some other images of the city: I use sunken highways because the on/off ramps take up no space- good for urban environments. The upgraded international airport complex at the north of the city. The uptown Rail/GLR/Subway interchange. Thats all I have for now. Thanks for reading and more to come.

I prefer to think of it as a self challenge.

Try deleting the city from the region view, then load it and obliterate it from god mode. If this doesn't work, name the city (if you haven't already) go to the Simcity 4 folder in my documents or on the hard drive, find the city file, move it to the desktop then back into the region folder. That will reset the entire tile file, and it should work now.
