I'll be seeing these trains around my place pretty soon, they're the new "Stansted Express" trains! [img]https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/25.gif[/img]

That means that you won't be able to use double-height elevated rail or monorail, but that shouldn't affect gameplay too badly. I believe Lion has a resume feature, so that when Lion is booted, everything is as it was before. I guess this also applies to Boot Camp?

You could use Boot Camp to run Windows (XP or newer), and buy the PC version of SC4. I picked up a £10 copy of SC4 Deluxe at GAME (UK gaming stores) to use the plugin tools, but I am thinking of getting a 4-16GB flash drive, so that I can switch between using Mac or PC SC4.

I hit my 14th post! (before this one, obviously ) In case you haven't worked out by this, it's my lucky number. I don't think I'll be reaching 100 quickly though, I don't post much!

I wouldn't know, but the NAM and most mods do not run on vanilla SC4... Why haven't EA/Aspyr done anything about this??? As soon as my Power Mac G5 becomes too outdated, I'll either buy a second-hand PowerBook G4 (1.67GHZ, pre-Intel) for running PPC games and non-Intel stuff, or I'll buy a new PC.

Not really, but every additional connection beyond the 3rd has a diminishing effect. That's not good at all, I wonder why that is... shouldn't cities be closely linked anyway? It would take a lot of work to change my region though, the cities are completely interdependent! It should be noted that this only refers to raising of DEMAND CAPS. For transportation means, sims will go to the nearest or fastest to get to neighbor connection. That's what I mean about the demand, cities being interdependent and influencing region-wide demand. Oh well, at least my sims get around...

So is there an effective limit to the number of neighbour connections? I hope not, because my cities are very closely joint!

Actually, I always use the Black Hole waste disposal plants (usually v1), because it has virtually unlimited disposal capacity and a fair maintenance cost. I've always had trouble with landfills and w2e plants, so I eventually gave up, used the landfill eraser and built the Black Hole plants! Black Hole waste v1 Black Hole waste v2 Landfill Eraser

It would be nice to have a SimCity 5, although it's never going to be compatible with my old G5... Maybe it's time to refit my PC! However, as Schulmanator and several others suggested, a SimCity 4 (Expansion Pack?) would be great, as it would retain compatibility with our many thousands of lots and modds, and I'm sure a lot of you would be very keen on one. Hopefully, Maxis could even work with the NAM Team in order to fully integrate it into SimCity (goodbye, puzzle pieces and hover bug!), although that would be a big ask... Come on Maxis, pull your finger(s) out!

Many Thanks DAB_City. This place is such a wealth of knowledge, it is hard to quantify! I have the current 21.5 inch i3 imac, so it sounds like SC4 for mac may not be the greatest experience. Running Windows under Boot Camp looks easy, and will allow me to use other programs anyway! I'm glad I could help! I have actually tried SC4 on a 24" Intel iMac, and it didn't have any problems, but I usually play on my Power Mac G5. In your case, it would probably make more sense to use Boot Camp!

The problem with SimCity 4 for Mac is that, out of the box, it is a native PowerPC game. This means that it will not run as fast on Intel Macs, and, which is worse, the game is often very buggy, and has a tendency to crash. Aspyr released a Universal (PowerPC/Intel) beta, but that was back in 2007, and nothing has been heard since. Furthermore, it seems to have done nothing about the problems. So if you have an Intel Mac, it would just be better to use Boot Camp to set up a Windows partition on your computer, and continue using SC4 for PC through Windows on your Mac (see the Apple Boot Camp support page for more info). You can check what kind of processor your Mac has by opening "Apple">About Me. However, if you have an older PowerPC Mac, I would recommend getting SC4 for Mac. The game is virtually the same as on Windows, and SimCity files are compatible with Windows. I purchased SC4 for Mac just over a year ago through Amazon.co.uk for £30, and I have been enjoying it ever since! (I've also seen it on the Apple Store, albeit for £40 instead!) Hope this helps, please ask if you have any more questions...

You can find the station here: http://www.simtropol...n-rail-station/ The S-Bahn Prop isn`t published yet! Sorry. @jj88 Thank you. Thanks! Did you create the train skin? If so, please release it soon, i'd really like to download that!

Nice station, but where did you find the platform and the S-Bahn Train skin? I really would like to know...

See the update of issues above, in the green box. Seems that some region map downloads are not downloading the config.bmp, this will be fixed soon, so you'll have to wait in order to download any maps...
