I've admired your journal from the jump. After seeing your screen shots I went and recreated NYC as well, as a kid growing up I'm sure you had a chance to visit Flushing Meadow Park's - Queens Museum of Art: "http://www.queensmuse.org/exhibitions/panorama.html>The Panorama of New York City is really something else! Should you be a tourist or a native you really need to see it. It captures virtually every corner, every building, every site of this city. Also, the lighting changes to show the scenery in a night time sort-of-perspective. City Lights come alive as the room's lights dim. Also note that this structure isn't small at all...'it's rather large. The model is about 9,335 square feet in size." http://www.queensmuse.org/exhibitions/panotransparency.jpg> http://www.queensmuse.org/exhibitions/vacuum-guy-color.jpg> To help acheive accuracy in SC4 I came across the http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/home.html> NYC Dept. of City Planning website. They go into detail beyond belief. Forget Map Quest all you need is this site, and thehttp://www.mta.info> MTA website for all your Mass Transit maps When your at the City planning site roll-over Reference and scroll to Zoning Profiles, it will bring up a map NYC, click on any district to get maps like this : http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/pdf/lucds/qn2profile.pdf > Queens District 2 on that note, PEACE!
