The dark (asphalt) highways by Thorvin are under this link: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=13705 Some good work here... I especially like the Sea to Sky Parkway by Texdal. Would be very nice to follow that road!

Thanks Grater! This is exactly what I wanted to know. I tried only much higher settings for the Transit Switch Entry Cost (as there is no explanation what the value of it means) like 2 and 10, but in those cases the network is much less used. So the right value for Bus stops is 0.2 and for monorail 0.05; do you know the right values for the other networks (train, elevated rail) as well? Is it somewhere inbetween?

Has the impact of the 'Transit Switch Entry Cost' already been tested? Perhaps it can solve the shortcut-problem.

Good job Nedal, this is really a top-city journal! The very realistic development process and the involvement of some readers make this region alive! There are also many buildings I haven't seen before, but I was very surprised to see the 'Drukkerij All Print' building in the commercial district of Bollanne. I have seen that building in real life! I believe it's in Utrecht, Netherlands, but I'm not really sure. Can you tell me where you got it from? And, congratulations with your 8th page!

dc82, I've seen that too! Extreme Engineering is a wonderful program! Imagine the Launch Arcology has twice the population of that Tokyo Sky Tower...

Hydruntum Place: Otranto, province Lecce, region Puglia, Italy Name: Hydruntum (Plin.) Hydrus (Ptol., Strab., Mel.) Ydruntum (Peut.) Etymology: Usually derived from the name of a stream flowing to its harbor (today Idro), which is likely related to Greek udor 'water' or udros 'water spring' (UTET). The hydronym could be also pre-Greek, still related to the IE root *(a)ued- 'water'. This could be confirmed by the phonetics of the placename that shows a typical Illyrian trait: the development of sonant n into un.I found this at http://digilander.libero.it/toponomastica/apulia.html 'dei Romani' means 'Roman gods' or 'of the Roman god'. So it's something like 'stream of the Roman god' I think...
