Just like in SC4, single lane (one way) railroad network w/ intersections is a must. Pretty pleeeease

I maybe aging myself as an old fart here.... but I remember having to place the rotory handset into the modem to dial out....

Check out the STEX... I know there was just a custom seaport lot put up a few days by (i think) jtMyers that fits in with some of the other seaport eyecandy lots... and can be placed at anytime and multiple times

I see you have an airport, but no seaport.... isnt that a demand cap releiver. That should help give a boost to your IM and IH as well as Comercial services and such.

He took the lots down because of some problems with both the mod'ing of the lots ( ie improper job reporting) and some issues with the model IDs conflicting with other stuff on the Stex. He told me that he had intended to put them back up but he was having issues with gmax and his saved models reading as corrupted.

accually... there have been other releases... I just watched a live chat with the Dev's where they went into the game... such as the main consern many have had... you will be able to play by yourself... ie your own region.

if your in windows vista or windows7.... try moving the C:\users\owner\my do to C:\Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins... that is one of the factors that can cause problems and CTD

are those lots you linked to no longer available... I have downloade from there years ago.... but there isnt links to the files.. just images nevermind... feel so stu-ped

thats because the games ... Both sc4 and CXL focus more on that max growth... it is much more difficult to control that growth to create the sprawl effect. Take Sc4 for example... the early growth stages tend to have very simplistic residential and CS buildings.... more detail is put into the higher growth stages.... now this community has done a great job as creating the buildings and apartment complexes that are more typical of the sprawl cities... and controling your growth is the key to making your city take on that real world Americana city cores on an island of residential sprawl

check out the "show us your region" thread..... and the journal section... particully in the show us thread there are some impressive examples of sprawl

oh you guys are great... I'm going to raise a beer to you guys with best wishes for lots of sucess... about the little animation..... it might be a bit much to animate each car... but say you modeled 'dega do seasonal props.... model the whole pack and place them at several places around the track... I would think... time wise that would be less consuming the animating them.....

the deluxe patch is still up.... here is the linky http://www.ea.com/simcity-4-deluxe

if you think about it in terms of SC4 and how the mechanics work there... yes, you guys are right... leave a city tile alone for to many years and it effects the tiles next to it.... that has been a problem for many of the Muti-player regions folks have set up over the years. But sense we realize that could be an issue dont you think they have thought of that..... but what if the effects wernt as direct as that... ie a userbase economy at the time you are currently playing.... not directly linked to your connecting region but to the global forces at work.... demand for a good (agent) is high.... you have that good(agent)..... your regions market is up.... global demand for a good goes down... yours goes down and you have to correct for that.

that started out as online... was cried about how bad it was going to be.... but some have kinda taken a liking to it...

hey.... if you dont have an image editor.... check out Gimp.... it has most of the features of photoshop.....for the forums make them 800x600.... sc4devotion also has a pretty cool program in the downloads section of the Lex ( search power search / lex type: tools: player) for the Clip2pic.... runs in the background and takes Jpg pics in the correct size for posting to forums

Listen... I am not a spring chicken... I joined Simtropolis in 2003 after learking for a while..(signed up when people started figuring out you could make your own custom maps. Did you know that at one time...SC4 reqired an internet connection to activate...during sc300o days.. when they started talking about a new version coming out...... called Simville..... people were making the same arguments you'all are making today..... SimVille would reck the series.... Maxis was dead.... EA had screwed the SimCity fan....... that game became the SimCity4 that we know and love today.......EA didnt kill the series...... Maxis still lives....... and ten years later..... we are still mod'ing, playing, and loving SimCity. I rember the cries of foul when they anouced that sc4 would have a "DLC"...... "EA is scamming money outta us" " waaaaah" "boo whoooo"...... but we bought in to this little "DLC" called Rush Hour..... and along with 2 free "dlc's" called the BAT and LotEditor" 99% of the community contributions of custom content was created.... so when you complain about the "features" they say will be in the game...... I say... bring it on... well figure them out.... improve them.... and that the game even further then even they (or ourselves) could have imagioned. 10 years ago.... ( hell 3 years ago when I went away form the community) Diagonal Bridges were impossable..... Everbody gives says that SC4 is a product of the Community,.... and to a point they are right.... but without the foundation that Maxis put in there most of those things couldnt have happened. I mean.... Sc4 on windows 7 runs better then ever... with a few changes to where some of the files should be.... because of changes to the OS..... How many other games you were palying ten years run half as good (if they run at all). For me... I will trust that Maxis and the crew there (many of which have been there sense SC3000 or before) will make a solid game that we will be mod'ing' playing' and loving in 2023 on GoogleOS7 note: by that time... well be walking around our cities talking with our sims edit: I forgot to comment on some of the post..\ So what happens to those users who don't have the internet or a very unreliable connection then? something like 60-70% of computer owners are currently online.. greater then 59% of all US households have broadband connections ( see Cspan's Congressional hearings on Internet and broadband availability and nation investmemnt) among European nations those numbers are in the 80-90% ... among "gamers" that number is much higher..... 90% of current games have online involvment in some way or anouther... that is just the nature of being a game player. Among those 12-30 years of age... 4 out of every 5 play games online.

just think about it though..... if I was on their development team.... how cool would it to be able to invite other friends form here or sc4 devotion to a mass region... then as you build it you can look at the region like looking at SimCity.maps (think google.maps).... so that you can play of each other.... and I dont think it would be that hard... if you think about it... each city tile has a png image of it.... the revion view is made up of those images grouped together... several regions together...... and so on... soon you have SimCity.maps showing the world view made by us builders

Form what I have read... the game will have an always on or initialization connection to origins just to verify ligitiment copies.... they have said that there will online interactions... but not gone as far as to say that the game is online only. I dont think that Maxis/EA would limit their sales by making it online play only. I thinks folks are reading to far into the info out there already... they pointed out the online play because that is a new feature to the series... that the game is updating to the same range as most current games.

For all Us in the US, tonight is a night to Cheer. edit: sorry...didnt realize there was a thread already started.

Just wanted to let all those there in Japan ( I know we have some members here) that we are praying for those that are going to be effected by this devistating earthquake and flooding.... It is scary to think of how much damage and lives lost.

Josh... where did you get those UH60 blackhawk props from.... they aint SH60b Seahawks but are close enough for what I need.
