  1. Cities in Motion 2 Shows Nifty Transportation Network Options

    firehawkordy commented on Freddyeddy's article in News

    I have CIM and have pre-ordered CIM2, just waiting for the release. I'll probably leave my PC on and Steam running so I have a new game to play when I come home from work. I am so glad I did not waste my money on that thing calling itself Sim City, however, the latest SIm City is probably the best thing that ever happened.... For Cities In Motion!

  2. Doc's Mass Transit Mod

    firehawkordy commented on docj101's file in Transportation

    I know some will say that this is just a re-lot but truth be told , I've been using some re-lotted transit buildings I got from this site almost 10 years ago and they still look good even in areas heavy with the newer BATs and lots. These I can use fro more variation and to fit into a crowded downtown better. Thanks for sharing these

  3. Midrise Office Pack Volume 4

    firehawkordy commented on madhatter106's file in Commercial

    Always a good day when you post one of your packs. Thanks for these.

  4. Niyata

    firehawkordy commented on lew1984's file in Maps

    [quote name='A Nonny Moose' timestamp='1350683629'] the problem I have with these maps is that I can't run Terraformer nor Mapper on my system. Something funny about the implementation of Python in the wine environment. For this reason, I prefer in-game renderable maps. [/quote] I have the same trouble with my new machine and Windows 7, the Mapper utillity won't work. Having said that I was smart(or sneaky) enough to leave a lot of my older programs on the wife's PC so I can still get these maps. Lew, this is usable to me as I like to have a busy water front and hate haveing to do a lot of engineering work and landfill on my coast lines.

  5. Ares I

    firehawkordy commented on srainy's file in Automata

    [quote name='Mysteryous' timestamp='1338850928'] I truly appriciate that you have decided to give the space shuttle some attention after all these years, but your effort (while far and away much better than others) seems a little half-assed. 3/5 E for effort. [/quote] This is why we can't have nice things, it's a game, get over it. @ Srainy, 5/5. Will this work with your earlier Ares upload or will they have a conflict. Would be nice to make a launch complex or a busy spaceport.

  6. Monument SU-9

    firehawkordy commented on Demon666Hell's file in Parks & Plazas

    [quote name='acr11thcav' timestamp='1334037219'] It's a MIG 21 Fishbed. [/quote] Nope, got into my recognition books and did a internet search and as I said before, it is a Fishpot, the wing plan and tail planes are the same layout but the fuselage, dorsal spine, intake and canopy are different. It took me a bit to sort them out and I was in US Naval Aviation when these mostly the MiG-21's, were going into their twilight but still operational. Funny to think that at one point these birds were cutting edge for the USSR.

  7. Monument SU-9

    firehawkordy commented on Demon666Hell's file in Parks & Plazas

    Demon, you are correct, it is a Fishpot, it is similar to the Fishbed in layout but the bubble canopy is one of the spotting differences. The 21's canopy is blended into the airframe aft of the pilot. Shows how rusty one can be when you don't work in military aviation for about 20 years, sorry I doubted you,

  8. Monument SU-9

    firehawkordy commented on Demon666Hell's file in Parks & Plazas

    Looks great, 5/5 just because I've never seen a bird on a stick in the game before. Are you sure it's a SU-9? I'm pretty sure it's a MiG-21 by the plan of the wings and empenage. Doesn'e matter, it's still unique and original. Thanks, it will look good in front of an airport or airbase.

  9. Philadelphia City Hall

    firehawkordy commented on debussyman's file in Civic & Non-RCI

    I was stationed at the Philly Navy Yard in 1980-81 on the USS Saratoga and passed through the Cityhall almost daily going from SEPTA to PATCO lines. I was always amazed and inpressed with the size and architecutre of the building. Along with my GF and another couple we spent a day wandering the public areas and taking in the history. Thanks for stirring up a long lost memory of that place. BTW, since the real life building has a transit hub any chance down the line to add a subway station to it?
  10. Great looking stations, sorry to hear that illness will keep this from being finished but health and life always takes priority. All the best to DocRorlach. Having said that, these should work well with Moonlight's Shinkannsen mod.

  11. Mountain Airforce Base

    firehawkordy commented on Craig-Abcvs's file in MTP - Mountain Theme Pack

    5/5 just for making me laugh. The real "Air Force" would build the O Club and golf course first then hit Congress up for the dough to lay the ramp and runways.

  12. SNM Factory for Tanks and Vehicles

    firehawkordy commented on MrFloh's file in Industrial

    5 for the effort but you really need to add links for all those dependencies. Either add links or at least the name of the BAT or Lot used, just saying "x".dat means nothing, we need to know where we can find them.

  13. wmp WMP Central Station (Grey)

    firehawkordy commented on d_j_p1's file in WorkingMan Productions (WMP)

    I know this is for the Viaduct Rail but is there anyway it could be made to work with El and Monorail like some of the stations at Bri Pizza? I have the BTm and Moon Lights Shinkansen(?) mod that improves the BTM/Monorail textures. Anyways I have this installed and it looks fantastic 5/5

  14. Modular Oil Port

    firehawkordy commented on nbvc's file in Industrial

    Will these blend in with your previous work of the docks and piers? Excellent work, will use these for my new city as the water front is still empty beach and reclaimed landfill. 5/5

  15. Ships pack

    firehawkordy commented on DolphinFox's file in Automata

    @ SimJungleman, would be better to have either the Forestal or Kitty Hawk class boats, I was ship company on the Sara, than the Kennedy. If a single ship class boat were to be modeled my vote would be for the Enterprise before she was refitted with her new island. DolphinFox, always great looking models as usual 5/5 !

  16. SPAM - Chicken Ranch

    firehawkordy commented on Craig-Abcvs's file in SPAM - SimPeg Agricultural Mods

    OMG!, the blue noses are going to freak,wait,never mind they are freaks. Great job, I've have the original since it came out and it's too cool, this looks like a better fit with my SPAM addons. 5/5

  17. Montage

    firehawkordy commented on content_writer's file in Maps

    Works fine, did you follow the install instructions: "The unzipped file contains a greyscale jpeg and a config.bmp, requiring no additional files, assuming you have SimCity4. See my first upload, "Heart Isles" if you need more information on how to add a downloaded map to your region files." Click this line of text under the author's name upper right hand corner on this page: View content_writer's other files Either use his instructions or use the SC4 Mapper utility found here and on the LEX.

  18. Montage

    firehawkordy commented on content_writer's file in Maps

    Grabbed this yesterday when it came up, I tried it out and for my needs it works fine. I understand that this map is not for everyone but after teraforming areas on a city I can use the terrain itself to control growth, transit options and pollution from industrial zones.
  19. Since the screens were already posted on SOMY's Fukushima powerplant I thought that I'd let everyone know that he has released it http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/somy000/ Scroll almost to the bottom and put your mouse on the screen shot, click and save. The last part is for those who don't know how to get files from his site.

  20. Show us your Military Areas

    firehawkordy replied to Josh6's topic in SC4 Showcase

    If you scroll down to the Coast Guard props you could use the HH-60J for your Bravo. You would just need to recolor it to the proper paint job, either old school white or the current low-viz gray. Love the "petting zoo" pics, too bad there is a shortage of lots like these, especially the round about with the 53.

  21. ADI Pack 1

    firehawkordy commented on Blazerhawk's file in Graphical Mods

    I agree, WOW! At some point my cities are going to evolve beyond the current times and get a more hi tech and sci-fi look. These are going to fit right in. 5/5.

  22. What type of Goverment does your city have?

    firehawkordy replied to hobostank's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion

    Benign Dictatorship, as long as my minions,err, Sims understand that it is in their best interest no one will get sent to exile,err, re-education.

  23. Foo Fighters White Limo

    firehawkordy commented on Hamish's file in Automata

    Getting ready to listen to Foo Fighters on KROQ.com in about 15 minutes, perfect timing! 5/5

  24. Custom Jet Fighters, coming soon

    firehawkordy replied to american15's topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion

    The Hornet looks good and I wouldn't mind having it in my game. But then I did spend time in an F/A-18 squadron years ago so I am a little prejudiced.

  25. Possible meltdown on Japan

    firehawkordy replied to bourneid's topic in Current Events

    Today was a very long day for me as my son and his family are stationed in Japan. Found out around noon Pacific time that my daughter in law and grand daughter are safe and sound. This really has to hard on her as my kid is away on orders a the moment. At this time I have not heard from friends that are in the JMSDF, I pray that they and their families are safe.
