  1. The Presence Of Being - a MrC CJ - The End

    No... Quite the opposite... I love the warning they put on lighter fluid: "Contents may be flammable." Well I should hope so... Anyway, great update, MrC
  2. Narrower Roads

    nope. That's a limitation of the grid in simcity4. Sorry. I suppose you could make custom lots that overhang onto the road, which would make the road appear narrow.
  3. Is there a Ground Highway to Elevated Highwy mod?

    Um.. the first thing you say when you are new somewhere generally shouldn't be "I despise you."
  4. Avenues not showing up!!!

    Have you downloaded anything? Have you gotten the updates from simcity.com? What are your computer specs? My guess would be that either there's a conflict with downloads or your files are corrupted. For the first one, just remove things one at a time until the problem goes away. If it's the second, you'll have to re-install.
  5. Show us Your Interchanges!

    numbchuckwoods: You need to transfer the RHW to oneway first, and then build off of that. For example: RRRRRROOORRRRR ------------OOOO R is RHW O is oneway. Draw the oneway after the RHW to make it connect. rodent1989: Regular, at grade, full-access highways, you're right. But on an Interstate or the like (which is closer to the RHW's intent), it's quite the opposite. When Interstates get rural, the ramps can get quite long and smooth.
  6. Train down the middle of Ave.

    You are probably experiencing the bug with puzzle pieces and transit enabled lots. When you have a puzzle piece selected, make sure you don't put your cursor over any transit enabled lots (light rail stations, road top mass transit, etc.) and the problem should go away. As for putting regular rail in the middle: It is certainly possible. However, and I may be wrong on this, it probably wouldn't happen in real life. There would be too many crossings and too many people too close to the train for it to be safe, especially a freight train. However, there are lots that will switch your rail line into a GLR line.
  7. I saw this in this morning's paper. God, that's scary. It looks just like Albany's Patroon Island Bridge. I really wish Departments of Transportation would start listening to their own reports. We had an overpass collapse a few years ago. We later found out that the DOT had been rating it poorly for years. Looks like the I-35W bridge was getting poor ratings too. Its sad when these things happen, but just tragic when they could have been prevented.
  8. Yes, let's not argue about this... again. It's really obnoxious. Let's just stick to the RHW, and if you want to bciker, go somewhere else.
  9. ACE Airport Pack

    Agreed. It isn't that important, and if you don't like it, don't use it. Great work, Ace and Voltaire
  10. Avenues

    I think there's a project for that somewhere either here or at SC4Devotion. I don't think it's anywhere near release just yet.
  11. Albany and Capital District NY

    Yeah, that should be in there. Heh, one of the Google ads on the front page of the STEX is for Martin, Harding, and Mazzotti, a local law firm. "The heavy hitters do it again, call 1-800-LAW-1010" Catchy tune.
  12. Albany and Capital District NY

    Wonderful! I live abut 15 mi. south of Albany. It looks like this only goes down to northern Bethlehem, since that looks like the Normanskill there. Oh well. Most of the development is northward anyway.
  13. Show us your most unique and creative transportation network!

    Wow. There are what, 11 roads there? I'd have just done a giant traffic circle. Very giant. Also, you should limit your images to 800x600
  14. Frasier Building

    For a first, this is absolutely amazing. Better than anything I've ever done. I do think the window textures could use some work, but other than that, it's amazing!
  15. Is YOUR Plugins Folder Bulging?

    1.02 GB 3,757 files 623 folders Pentium 4 @ 2.93 GHz 1.99 GB of RAM I've opened a city, walked away, cooked myself a quesadilla, eaten it, and come back just as it finishes loading a city.
  16. The Presence Of Being - a MrC CJ - The End

    *Gasp!* Wonderful update, MrC. Hope your new system turns out okay!
  17. Roundabouts and such

    Read the readme. You have to demolish the middle four tiles (The ones with no road on them) of the avenue roundabout, then place the fillers from the Misc. Transit menu.
  18. The monolith

    Also, I think you might be missing a file, the SC4Desc file (Can't remember the extension exactly).
  19. a new concept of roadways

    I can only think of two examples of frontage roads in the Albany area, and both are to roads rather than highways. Frontage Rd., Bethlehem, NY Washington Ave. Ext., Albany, NY That first one barely qualifies. Though I can see the reason for it. That whole place is a mess. And possibly even worse is the part just to the south, where 32 splits off and 9W keeps going, 9W narrows down to one lane, but it clearly needs too. And when they put in the Wal*Mart only a few years ago, they had the whole road ripped up from Glenmont Rd. to 32, and all they did was put in a suicide lane. Bunch of idiots.
  20. Today: Terrorist Attack at Glasgow Airport

    I think saying "Asian" when talking about a middle-easterner isn't very good. Not many people picture a middle easterner when they think Asian. Nor do they think of an Indian or a Russian.
  21. Today: Terrorist Attack at Glasgow Airport

    Ohmygod! I'm watching the live BBC feed right now. They just said one of the terrorists was still fighting even though his clothes were on fire. This is terrible. They also said there was another "suspect device" at the hospital where one of the men was taken. I'm not sure whether they were talking about a terrorist or a civillian, but they said police are "dealing with it."
  22. also, would it be possible to make a ramp go into the transition? In other words, the added lane comes from the exit rather than out of nowhere?
  23. ACE Airport Pack

    It's a modular pack. There are various pieces. Walls, fillers, etc. You place those down next to each other and make your own design. Sort of like the canal packs, only with more things. Then, you place the jetways along the terminal.
  24. RHW- Show us your pics!

    you need to demolish three tiles of RHW, and draw One Way Road in their place. With the latest RHW, it should connect.
  25. Chavez Talks War With US

    ^^Not if your forces are spread as thin as ours, and they are stacking up theirs, so I wouldn't bet on it. On the plus side, Sr. Bush is to busy in Iraq/n right now to worry about Venezuela. So unless he can find some way to place terrorists there, we won't be fighting them.
