Wow! This CJ is easily the best I've ever seen on here! Just one question where did you get this stadium that you used in the last 2 update? http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6475/98338134.jpg Looking forward to seeing more update from you!

Hmm.. If u do fix it, you do NOT need to fix it for each "livery models" you made. Just simply make the fixed model your "defualt model" and just simply replace the livery and save as. Its simple.

^ He is correct, you need to have at least 7x7 tile then plop the plane, then you can reduce it to a 2x3 size.

Very nice! Looking real good. LAN has a really colorful livery!

Its looking real good! Just wondering, you gonna texture the wing and the elevators? Keep up the great work and we'll all have great variety of airplane types out, with my 767, your 777, Ace and Voltaire 747, Xiziz A320 and 737's If you need help, just PM me with it, I know whats causing the brightness problem and theres a really easy fix for it, so please MSN me or PM me. Thanks!

^ Its still fine the .Dat file is basically a compressed version of ALL the SC4model, so instead of 50 files, its only 2. Hope I helped.

There was a lot with 767 plopped but it was removed by the creator, so now there isn't any lots up for download. There was a planned one but was dropped as far as I know. I do not have the time to create 60+ lots so I just released them as props and allow people to create their own. If you ask nicely maybe They'll give you it.

No not really, just defending my position.

Ilikehotdog- it matters because JAL is KNOWN for its red tail, not orange tail. I am thankful for Voltaire work, I'm just pointing it out that it is odd that JAL is orange and thewing, as well as tail texture varies among planes. Boeing or Airbus doesnt produce 2 different wings for a type of plane, it isnt like, Oh do you want this kind of wing because it looks different than Airline B? The wing should look the same for a reason.... Nysc4- It has already been done - Look at the pics I posted, enough said. SpokaneFlyBoy- I have personally rendered a JAL 767, Even zoomed out, it does not even pose ANY problems at all. Compared to this what he calls JAL, I just cannot understand why, - it does not shout for attention the way a pure RGB red would. Colors that distract from their surroundings are not a good thing, I feel they show a lack of concern for users who will need to view them repeatedly in their cities. When you clearly can see that the 767 with the correct red does not do above, as well as, - at higher zoom levels this color is still unobtrusive, even with SC4's habit of over-concentrating and brightening colors at a distance. Not even a problem as well. Just download the pack from devotion if you still don't believe me. So I just cannot understand why it isn't in its ICONIC color, its like calling US West in total blue color because "Black was too "distracting." It just does not make sense at all. Right now it is like United in White, British Airways in Black, or Virgin Atlantic in Purple. It does not make sense, All the other airline is in its respective color, heck even Northwest is RED and Voltaire is telling us red will distracts us? When he clearly made Northwest red. I just don't get it.... JAL should be in its respective color and not another one, peroid. I'm not even doing this to get out at him because I love his airport pack, I'm just pointing out this fact thats all. This pack has been dissapointing to me, you think all this time they had, they would had gotten everything right but instead, there are missing textures on wings and tail as well as JAL being in the wrong color. Sorry but it is dissapointing for me. I don't really care if anybody flames me for this, I'm stating the TRUTH and asking him to correct it.

^ That was actually mine. I edited the base texture to match the old texture because I found the dark grey unrealstic and screws up the uniformity of the airport, so I edited the lot to match the old airport textures. If you want it, gimme a PM with your MSN and I can give it over. Don't get this the wrong way, you've done a incredible job on this but, I admit you might know a lot about choosing color, but JAL is worldwide known for their red tail and instead of that you choose Orange, something that is not a signature of JAL. This is the part I don't understand how y ou could do this. Its like removing JAL signature and replacing it with something else. Also, I don't really think they'll distract viewers, It is just a red on the tail, every airline worldwide does this to attract attention, everytime a plane pass by, if you only look at the tail, you can accurately guess what airline that aircraft belongs to because the tail in sense is their signature. As well as if you thought the red was distracting, then why didn't you "Orangazize" the Northwest plane? it is red as well. You couldv'e used the same red as Northwest to preserve JAL iconic color. But again, its your lot, your decision. Great job on it regardless.

Hello, GREAT work on this release, the 747 does look very SC4ish and realstic. I will most def. be using this in my new airport. But also, I also hate to be the bearer of bad news, But I noticed soemthing in this pack that could be a possible render error. 1. The tail wing texture varies on each planes and it looks incomplete to me, 2. The wing texture on each plane is also different. 3. JAL is..... Orange??? (JAL is red.) I don't know what happened here. it is possible that it is a render error that you have overlooked, it happens to the best of us sometimes. Another thing is that I noticed Lufhanasia texture is noticable lighter than the rest. is this intentional or just by accident? I would like to see the tail and wing texture to be fixed if it is indeed wrong. If it is not wrong, then could you explain why each planes has a noticably different tail and wing texture than other planes?

Pilotdaryl- It is more like 3-4 days to ASSEMBLE the planes since parts are made from all over the world. No plane can be made from stratch in 3 days. Boeing flies all the part to Everett Field then when all the part is there, then yes 3-4 days to assemble, not really amazing since its like a puzzle, just put slot a into slot b then you got a plane. How deep- That infomation is incorrect. Boeing is sending their FIRST 7, 787, there to solve the weight issue and flight testing so the assembly line in seattle is not interuptted. Makes sense since you dont really want a 787 taking up space at their plant and interuppting operations. They are sending the first 7 there since they are overweight and they have to figure out how to trim the weight off. As well as the military has NOT ordered any 787.

hym... Actually the video only showed First and buisness class, the place where the majority of us will NOT fly in.... Cattle class will be 9 across, so it is going to be 3-3-3 layout. It'll be similar to any other aircraft we fly in. As well those seats were designed by Boeing to show customers mock up what it CAN look like, it doesn't mean airlines will have that exact seat in their aircraft. Remember when the A380 came out and people said there would be shopping malls, swimming pools, casinos, etc etc, so far no airlines opted for that. Emigrates is even planning a 10 across 3-4-3... I wouldnt want to be seated in the middle of the 4... Ouch. Micah- The A380 is also revolutionizing as the 787. I am a Boeing fan, but to say the A380 is not revolutionizing would be incorrect. It has many many new features and technologies. As well the double ddeck is a wonder in all by itself, Imagine the designing phase when they had to create a wheel structure strong enough to withstand that HUGE beast POUNDING on the pavement of the runway at 120+ MPH. As well as the second floor support to keep it from collapsing as well. I would say the 380 is equally impressive, they started designing it back then in the 1985-8* I do not remember the exact year. As well as they will have 5+ cameras placed around the aircraft for the captain to steer it. Just take ONE look at this, http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0989940/M/ As well as the very noticable wing bend to hold up the engine weight, http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1214542/M/ This is one impressive beast as well.

You gonna release that 777-300?

Hello, Like Za had said, they were removed from the stex (Which i found out about today... Wasn't informed) can be located at the LEX, which is here, https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=878

Hey, Long time reader and long time lurker. I must say this city is really turning out to be GREAT! Love every detail you put in it. It really does look middle eastern. To me it looks like a fuse between Dubai and Saudi Arabian cities. Also, your use of my airplane prop really fits in, glad to see somebody finally incorporated it in their cities. Keep up the good work mate

Very cool! I love how british this city looks like. Keep it up mate!

Just wondering, how do you make the curves like that? I can't figure it out and theres no read-me on how to make the gentle curve like that and for railroads as well. Could somebody explain how to make the gentle curves please?

Oooh! I cannot wait for that tube express thing to be released, I already have some ideas what I'm gonna do with it! Keep up the amazing work on this Cj! Don't let anybody stop you! You have taken the Sci-Fi CJ'ing community to a whole new levewl by creating all of these amazing Sci-Fi bats and introducing flash movies to countless other CJ in this community as well. I say you have made your impact here at SimTrop very well known. Star League is also going fantastically, almost half year anniverary? Or did we past that yet? Keep the amazing work in this CJ as well as with the Sub Unions you are constantly creating!

Amazing work as always! Love that airport as well. My AGA plane looks beautiful right next to yours :-P . Keep up the amazing Cj and please don't stop! Your photoshopping skills with your CJ work blends in beautifully! Rauheim is really turning in a glorious socialist/communist nation! I love it more after each update! Again, Keep it up!

Wow! Amazing job here. You are a great addition to the Mother Earth project! Keep up the fantastic work. The community of SimTrop appreciates it!

Hello, I was away at my aunts house for easters and I was not even aware what was happening here so I would like to say, Sorry for the trouble that one little picture caused you to the mods. To answer some well awaited questions... 1. Yes I have permission, I have the actual email I sent and recieved from the creator, I have shown it to the moderators here at ST and they agree the email is valid and that I do have permission, I have no idea where yoman got the idea I do not have permission since I do not talk to him in chat or on MSN, my guess is that he still has a personal vendetta against me or something, no idea why.... All I ask you yoman, please stop defaminating my character on the forums and in the chat since I heard from my friends in the chat that you were ranting about me in there. Please leave the childlike behavior out of here, it really does annoys others. 2. The release will NOT be on ST, it will be a exclusive on another site in turn will give me space to upload future models as well, again, I have no idea where Mr. Yoman gotten the idea that I'm releasing it here. When I release it, rest assured 100% credit will be given as I have intended to do all along. 3. The models are actually NOT converted FS model, they are a PURE gmax model, unconverted. 4. I only intended to post the picture to show ace that we had the same idea and that i've rendered them as well. And I have not even said in my post that I took credit from it, and the website where I'm releasing it from, I have implicity stated that they are not my model in my post in BOLD. Any one can see it, I have not edited my post 5 min after I posted it (I edited it since one of my picture link didn't show) and again, no idea why yoman assumed that. 5. What I meant "first" as to answer your question yoman was not the issue of FS converting, Ardecila actually converted plane models for me in the past and I'm well aware he has been doing it for some time, you have no argument from me there, what I meant "first" was the actual landing itself, with flaps retracted, landing wheel at the ready, everything you'll see on a actual landing plane including its in the air as well. Thats what I meant... 6. If anybody want to see the orginal topic, please refer here, https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=837.0 7. *Edit* I see yoman was already aware of the topic at devotion and still came here and tried to defame me. Please yoman, stop all this charade its getting quite annoying to us other member who still play this game for fun and not accusing other people of things that are untrue. Again, sorry for what a little picture has caused here, I had NO idea that this would open another pandora box and was not my intention at all. So why don't we give the topic back to ACE so he can show more of his manificent work and end this right here with this post. If you want to comment on my plane models, please go to devotion to the link i gave you. And ACE, I did not even intend to hijack your thread, I was merely trying to show you that we had the same idea and that I already rendered mine a while ago, my apologies for indirectly causing the chaos here. Thank you for your time.

Hello, I'm pleased to announce that my new CJ will start today at 4/4/07 and this is an independent CJ that I'm building myself and I've always wanted to start a new one since Pakkusena dragged on a bit too long. I plan to have this CJ as a storyline CJ so expect many storylines for this CJ. ----------------------------------- And now on to the Sim Calico (Soccer) Bid, I'm proud to anounce that Aosta is bidding for Sim Calico, Aosta will offer her three stadiums to host a total of 9 games per day, plus 2 more newly constructed stadiums for a total of 6 more games. Naturally this number is expected to deincrease as teams are eliminated. Aosta also offer a wide variety of activies in the city as well. After the soccer games you can check out the IMAX movie theatre near the oceanfront, as well check out some museums with rare and priceless artifacts from Chinese and Russian history including a peice of Genesis Kahn solider armor. Also why not check in one of our twenty bars located just a walk away from the light rail stops. Or if you're feeling all lovey-dovey, take a paddle boat ride in Aosta canal. All five stadiums will have a close proxmity to each other. Three stadiums are already constructed and ready since Aosta has a Major League soccer team as well as a well known minor team soccer team league as well. The third stadium is being currently constructed approx. 30-45 minutes away from downtown and after SimCalico will be converted to a multi-purpose sport stadium. As well as Aosta will offer its hockey stadium to be converted into a temporary indoor soccer stadium that is ideally located in downtown as well so it is literally a lightrail ride away from the hotel areas. The fifth stadiums will be hosted in a neighborhooring town to the west of Aosta across the Aostain mountain range and is a 40 minute high speed rail ride away. This will be most likely a temporary stadium and will be demolished after the games are over unless the town people wants to preserve it. Minor League Stadium Major League Stadium Converted Stadium The other stadiums is not completed construction and shall be shown when done. Aosta also has a well established high speed railroad network as well since the region requires it seeing that the land are very mountaineous and rail travel is actually faster than road travel. The high speed railroad already connects the Aostian International Airport to downtown in a mere 30 minute travel time nonstop. Aosta is also expected to offer travelers on the highspeed railroad half price of the normal price of 25 dollars to travel from downtown to either the airport and the newly constructed stadium 30-45 minutes away. The Aostian airport is truly one of its kind, it is modeled after Dubai Airport and Atlanta Airport as well. It has concourses laid out that are seperated by destinations. As well as a exclusive terminal for Angels Grace Airlines as well. The airport has many variety of airlines that flies everywhere to Aosta and they include, Europe, Middle East, America, Canada, China, Japan, and Australia. Aosta also offers a exclusive cordoned off sections for hotels only and this land is one of Aosta prime real estate, when guests come from all over the SimWorld, they can rest assured, out of their hotel window they will be able to see pristine blue oceans and views of downtown lighting up the night sky! If hotels aren't your style and looking for something more private. Aosta offers a lot of timeshare condos for rent. You also can rest assured they will have beautiful views of ponds and natural forestry as well. ------------------------------- Thanks for reading my first update, I hope you enjoyed the preview of Aosta and expect some storylines to come on up later! As well as description of Aosta goverment too. Also, stop by Dark Jedi CJ, you won't regret it, https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=87893&enterthread=y&STARTPAGE=1#last

Shade, The plane itself is not animated, it is a static prop that "floats" in the air and stays there. Seahawk, Thanks for the comment! It certainly is ironic we had the same idea, but I've already rendered mine hehe.
