Hahaha I won it to!!!!! Thanks to joeynymets for informing me using a comment under the winning map Thanks to menno who actually DID the orginal map And thanks to everyone who woted for me! (However I still don't even know how to vote ) Thank you!

The fact it can be copied doesn't mean it's legal. So you say that copying windows is legal to because it's possible?

Requested link http://www.sc4ever.com/knowledge/showarticle.cfm?id=1103&openItemID=cid.47,cid.45,cid.49 edit: oops, as soon as the sc4ever gets up anyways As for downloading. Let's try to download this map from STEX. What You do is: Click the download map (414 KB) link - a window with a grayscale image apears Right-click the download map (right click and save-as) link and choose save as; choose a location You prevere, for example the My documents folder go back to the first window (You may use the above link again) click at the config.bmp link choose save and save it to the same location as above Now what You do is: create new region, name it somehow close sim city copy the config.bmp file from the location You saved it onto the file located in the region directory (that's as far as I remember C:\Documents and Settings\You\simcity4\regions\region_name); important is to overwrite the existing config.bmp file, meaning, You might have to change the name of the config file You downloaded run sim city open the region You created now press shift-ctrl-alt-r and choose the grayscale file You downloaded first; note that the name should apear in the editbox next to the open button, sometimes it doesn't ( 8O ) so just type the name press open and wait, or better go for a walk now it takes each region from the flat map You had and renders it using the grayscale map file, the usual texts apear at the top of the screen and a flat square is in the middle

Now that's an intresting thread!

may I ask where did you get all the characteristic buildings (like MetLife or the one with curved wals near Briant's Park) from?

OK, I see, didn't noticed the stations on the picture, thanks. And the test is very intresting indeed! BTW, it just got on my mind. Isn't it the same for all the on-road bus stops? Meaning doesn't they block road capacity?

Sorry for asking (it shows that I didn't understand something) but how do your sims get to the monorail track without the monorail station? Via bus stops?

Eeeem wait. How did www.skyscrapers.com looked like? I figured out that I confused it with www.skyscraperpage.com . If it was always owned by emporis I see no problem, nobody has to use emporis database if he doesn't like to...

I think that emporis is amazingly great. It doesn't change the fact that it completely sucks that www.skyscrapers.com is not longer working...
