Because your name is too complicated and your avatar is grainy.

The big thing to remember is not to try too hard. If you're bad at building big, start small. Make sure you have all the right materials too. Btw... get rid of that SWAP stuff, get the new RMIP runways and Ace's terminal packs, much better stuff. Also, don't get too attached to them, you'll end up not liking what you have and just blowing it up many, many, many times. Oh... and look at other airports for inspiration. Heres a few I just so happen to have. Both of these are third or fourth generations of the origional, had to keep on demolishing to get what I want.

*yawn* Jumbo jet gates, maybe A380 but I doubt that last part. Will this release replace any old versions?

I was poking around on the STEX and came across a forgotten gem. https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=16732 Not sure if you would ever consider even touching that project again... But I know it was something a lot of people were looking forward to.

Its freight, it goes to the station and then out of the city, no need for a return.

Well... you have mansions next to midrises next to towers next to single families. Theres not much order, and the grid is small and not really nesicary for such a small downtown. This thread is for rating the picture and the work within it, I just don't find either one very special or interesting. I hope you know this is nothing personal... just my opinion. I give each picture a good bit of my time and come up with an apropriate response. But eh... Hey, incase you guys didn't see it because it was the last post on the other page, I re-posted the shot I took before, but after I made some changes.

GreekMan- It isn't a realistic downtown, nor is it very apealing. Hrm, I'm just not sure. The effort seems to be there, but I think after how long you've been around you could do better. 5/10 smstevenms- If thats done by hand, its quite good. No quality to the picture though... which is really what is suposed to be rated here. 6/10 for the handiwork vershner- Interesting use of everything. The waterfall textures are way too stretched out and those buildings aren't suited to the area. 7.5/10 masochist- There are a FEW too many of the ponds, but a very neat idea and well done. 8.5/10 Deever- Editing is nice, layout seems nice, bit empty though, too much height variation. 8.5/10 patriots- ...woah... awesome job highlighting the beautiful stadium BAT. 9/10 Cokatoo- Dude, just stop it... you're making us all look bad. Nightlighting, layout... 0/10 because you suck. (10/10) I think I'll repost this. Don't have to rate, I just want to know if my fixes made a diference.

Tonkso, just checking up... you ever get my PM?

Lets see, just to clarify things: Dark patch is the game being stupid, nothing I can do. Entire roadway been changed since then, basically to eliminate that turning lane. Traffic is very heavy to the freight station, had to get rid of it. Plus it eliminated an unesicary stoplight. If it were shifted there, you would see a lot of unfinished stuff, not as much as the RHW, and not the cool curve that the avenue and rail has at the right. I try to not make focuses, but more on one key interesting thing that leads your eye to trail all over the image. Unlike with others, I didn't say that defensively, just to let you know. Maybe I should re-take the shot... a certain Glenni told me it was fine and not to worry about it though. Hrm... I wonder how you destroy little european boys.

cokatoo- What a beautiful night shot. I bet it would look messy in the day, but it just comes to life at night. Great job using everything, especially the GLR in avenue bit. I'm curious as to how much of that was plopped though. 9/10 Hrm... sure, I'll throw you guys one. Ah, here...

Okay, we're having too much fun at the expense of others now... suppose we should stop... I guess, yeah, think we gotta. Hrm, bring on the pictures! Glenni- Like stated, your diagonals need to stop touching each other like that without protections. Good job as usual thought. 9/10

Remind me never to visit your cities... I improved Glenni's pic. Whadya think?

Never thought I could get offended so easily, but you've proven me wrong. Watch what you say before you start making enemies. EDIT: I supose I should be civil and rate too, lets see... Shingure- Interesting idea, overdone though. Washington monument doesn't fit in, and the roads just seem extremely unrealistic. Hrm... 7/10 Deever- Dude... exept for the grosly bad ground-to-sunken avenue transition, that entire picture just rocks. Beautiful editing, layout, placement... just flows so flawlessly. 9/10 Sanderson- Insults aside, not a bad bit of work. Something doesn't feel right, like its in the middle of a big field, iuno. 7.5/10 Haljackey- Nice skyline, but everything is just so dark and dead. 8/10

Dunno if this has been mentioned amidst all the lingo, but I have an idea/request. Basically its a 4 lane Y. I think two pieces, about 4 tiles long and 4 wide. Gradual change from a 4 lane into two seperate 2 lanes to fork off in different directions. One peice to break it into the Y, and another to bring two parts into one 4 lane. Very common around here. That is actually a part of a Y stack that goes into a 6 lane on the right which goes down to a divided 4, then a separate 4 lane on the left.

Well... you seem to use diagonals a good deal, but you don't have any diagonal buildings. The maxis plaza pieces are very repetitive too, look through the STEX, theres several very nice sets there that will give you many options. Theres a lot of maxis buildings, not that they're bad... but that it has no wow factor. Really... thats pretty much it. Anyway, that second pic wasn't really meant for showing off, just posted for comparison... that is 3 year old work from me. Thats what it became. Picture taken from a helicopter, very bumpy ride though. Soon to have new towers and a nice park. Also... the editing is a bit harsh, but I feel its SO much easier to look at, so its fine with me.
