Here is the only Satelite map I have slightly altered to show my region bounderies and sarounding areas. Included are the Small cities populations. Aswell as The International Airport which is 10minutes south of the city. And the massive airstrip at Namao which is the only place in Canada where you can land a space shuttle. There where times during WW2 when Edmonton was the busiest airport in North America. Quito : I know your point. There are many reasons why this will be hard. City lot of City lot of low res may make it impossible for commutes. I dont use altering mods now but may plug thme in while using this region. Also I need to figure out Utilities and Civic Department which on these split up maps the city will not have any facilities in areas. I am working on ideas but the goal is always realism.

Mentos : I don't know what program art money is but, this region was made by hand terraforming entirely using a scale. Using the same scale I made all of the roads aswell. If you have any questions on how to do a region like this just ask I have a few tricks and ways to make a scale.

Millwoods 2nd Update This is the 2nd update of the making of the Millwoods area in SW Edmonton. I have alot more to do but as promised with comparitive maps here is the work in progress. Boris : Yeah I sorta skipped. There is mainly Industry inbetween Millwoods and the rest of the city so Its not like Its missing much. Those areas will probably fill in next. U_W : For creating downtown so far I am searching for simular BAT buildings. I had the Telus Building being built by Jbbry232 but he gave up and recently left ST. I don't DL many BATs so I'm being picky. As for my next project believe it or not I am working on 4 regions right now. Edit : The #3 on the map is 50th Street not 75th....

-Millwoods- The Beginning... This is just a rough update of the Millwoods area in SE Edmonton. In my next update or two I will show comparitive maps and more finished work. Millwoods is probably the hardest part of Edmonton to do, due to many curved roads. This area is still nearly perfect in accuracy. With alot of cross reference points placed and an extra measurement or 2. Only thing that may be off is elevations, Millwoods has a small ravine that I havent seen much of myself and small changes in the elevation that I may not have placed just right.

Thanks Macsurfing...was a good series. Maybe the frogs can be STHL separatist. Go Mystics.

Not an update....but an appology to the viewers. Seems the first 3 pages which are older then 8months have lost there pictures due to ST...? If I can I will try and replace some of the main ones. Until then who knows.....guess CJ's with 16,000 views that may contribute to this site are not immune.

Macsurfing, I see that you see I'm down 1-0 but do you see that I see that it is tied 1-1. And I see that you'll see Dereko seeing me next round. GO MYSTICS

Its pretty realistic...Nice beach...green and looks upscale....Doesnt have an ongoing grid which is nice on the eyes. Thumbs up.

This seems it will never fly. Who is heading this. 5 pages of ideas on what city. I hate to say it becuase of te Rivalry in Alberta....but I think a good city to do is Calgary. It is somewhat flat. Doensn't have a massive and hard river valley like Edmonton. Its a basic city runs North-South East-West. Is fairly modern with a basic working freeway system. Has 200 some skyscrapers I'm guessing. But once you choose a city and if you'll do it accurately...there are so many problems that will arise if its a multi person project. What map what scale who does what...will it line up.....I dont know why anyone would do a city if it wasnt to scale. I know of a map for Calgary and a working easy to use scale for it. If any are interested....I can get people rolling on this project if you ever decide on a city. Check out page 11 of my Edmonton region (link below) this is an example of how to scale a city. Also I can find the same map which the same scale should apply to Calgary. I think this city would be your best bet. I'll look back at this posting or PM me if anyone wants..... Just some ideas...

-How its done- If you've ever wondered exactly how I make this region to an exact scale I'm going to show you. 1. I needed an acurate scale and a map. After buying a map I had to find exactly how to scale each city square. 2. After a few test of what an average city block would look like I devided the map up into squares and figured out how many squares equaled a lot. Here is the Scale, 3. Now with this in hand to find a road or terraforming point I would measure from a reference point. Many times the side of the map or another major road. Once Measured in CM's I would just convert into lots and figure out where to place the Road. Here is an example... 4. To quickly count lets say 76 spaces (lots) to Castledown Road I would just use a street which is $10 a square. So once at $760 I would stop...then do the other side measuring. Now I have a 2 space gap...where I laythe new Avenue/Road. 5. Now I destroy the streets that I used for measuring and I'm left with the accurate place Road. This is the step I go threw for most any road street avenue rail...terraformed point or anything else...And getting into the many curved roads is another story.

I predict I advance.

I noticed the even topics counts the other night too lol

-June 28th- I did alot of work on the White Mud Drive today aswell as the Southgate area.

Very nice Brett good to see some of your work. Looks realistic and has some good land to build on aswell attention has been payed to detail. I'll be back to see how this grows.

I have some huge cities in some huge regions. And I can never get bad traffic. I know its not a good thing but for the look of a busy city its nice. I would like to have a packed highway. Hope alot of these pics arent due to traffic mods.

Thank You To everyones views and replies. Without everyones interest I probably wouldn't have doen so much this last month. Having people keeping an eye on the region keeps me plugging away on it. The road network continues to grow and problems for later are being solved. After the roda network is finished I should release another copy and the few lots needed with it for anyone interested. This should be done by the end of August. Then the fun begins. Fast paced city growth and major detail.

Dannato - I'm looking forward to the buildings too. Just want to finish the road network first. Plus I have issues to work out with a few things aswell. Vlad - I have been working on it for nearly a year. But many months where Terraforming and at times I took a few weeks off at a time. This last month has shown alot of work. wraith90 - West Edmonton Mall is atleat a half hour from the main Airport and from the City Center Airport that brett described a 20minute drive. The government has put alot into the international airport so sadly the city center is rarely used. This week in the news is a debate if the land should be redeveloped but alot of small companies that use the strategic airport are not happy about that. beebs - For SW Edmonton I will need the most help. For the little things. I never go SW theres nothing there but residents. Nice area that will be hard to emulate. The other day while Mt Biking I got stuck going around Terwilegar Drive and then past Fort Edmonton couldnt find any more paths to continue SW. If I knew the area I could have made it to Devon. Maybe next time lol

-June26th Update- Just did a little work on the White Mud Trail area and a little more work in the Rio Terrace area. Want to get the freeway in before sarounding areas. Also I have the WHitemud Trail sunken a little. Need to work out a few things to get the look right.

Pictures 11-20 11 - Alberta Legislative Grounds 12 - Jasper Ave 13 - Jasper Ave 14 Downtown Jasper Ave 15 - Mutart Conservatory / Low Level Bridge 16 - City Hall / CN Tower 17 - SE View 18 - East View 19 - City Hall Pool South View 20 - Commonwealth Stadium

-June 22nd- -Out Mountain Biking -Pictures of EDMONTON I went out Mountain Biking today with my Digital Camera. Edmonton has the largest park system in North America and tons of trails to take advantage of. I was out for about 4 hours and covered nearly 40km's. Here is the route and then 4 updates of 5 pictures each. 1 - River Valley 2 - In the Valley 3 - Downtown East Side 4 - Edmonton Queen River Boat 5 - Telus Building and Hotel MacDonald 6 - Downtown 7 - Downtown 8 - Alberta Leg... Parts of Downtown 9 - 105st Bridge / High Level Bridge 10 - Highlevel Bridge and LRT Bridge

Got online....Thaught I would check ion the ol' CJ......All I found was MTLT checking spelling in my CJ which is ok. But then I found something really funny!!!!! MTLT lives in Saskatchewan and cant spell it right. Sorry to point that out just found it funny. I shouldn't poke fun at that I can't spell half the time either.

Nice! to see. 10 games in I was wondering about my team. Struggling below .500...then the season turned around. Should finish atop my Conference. Looking forward to the playoffs!

I was thinking of using the realistic water mod for it....Since the river is brown from the silt in it a dark blue would be better then such a light blue. And for Riverbend and Callingwood I will most likely make them then ask for help by showing pictures of areas you would like to see. Then you can point out the differences. Should have another small update later tonight.

-June 18th Update- Just a small update. Actually alot of work but doesn't show much. Again more curved roads that take alot of measuring. Also....I accidently unpaused the game downtown.....power kicked in and a few people moved in when I wasn't looking....So I have 598 people out of nearly 1million.
