Thank's for looking......

Also Menus that neverend, like not having to go back to the top, just keep going down, when on the last one the next one is back at the top again.. I think a way to do the menus is by dir's main_menu [dir] [would need a limit] in this you can have any dir name & it would show in the mainmenu of the game in there you could add more dir names.... like ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main_menu [dir] >TRANSPORTATION TOOLS [dir] >RAILS & DEPOTS [dir] >Rail Stations [dir] [add any station lots] >Rail Yards [dir] [add any rail yard lots] >AIRPORTS [dir] add more dir or lots names ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even Foxtel is 80% widescreen & 5.1 sound & is going HD sometime in 2007. you can get a SD settop box for about $50 also When I got my plasma they even gave me a SD box for free. now most plasma come with inbuilt HD or SD tuners.... The take up of Plasma & LCD TV 's in OZ land is very big, go into like JB HiFi & all you see are widescreen, with say 4 or 5 4:3 tv's

Originally posted by: Sim1013 How do I check the temperature? Also, do I just not have enough RAM or need a better video card or something. I tried playing RCT3, Myst End of Ages, and the Flight Simulator X demo, and they all run very badly when the graphics settings are high, but look bad when they're set to low. I have 2GB of RAM, a 250GB Hard Drive, a 4200+ AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dal Core Processor, and an Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE graphics cardquote> It's your Video card, the 6150 is on your Motherboard, you should have a PCI-E slot, just add a 6600GT, it is a great card or better a 7300GT, my mate just got one and games run great. I also have much the same system, AMD 4200+ X2 / 2gig ram / Asus A8N-SLI I have 2x7900GT running in SLI, running Windows XP 64bit Have not found a game that will not run as for SimCity 4 & a AMD Dual Core, AMD have a MS driver that wiil let any game run on the 2 cores with no problems....

Originally posted by: Swamper77 RHF, The Ped Mall Puzzle Pieces from the NAM create the pedestrian walkways that you are referring to. The ANT is another road type network that Maxis never finished. The NAM Team activated it and is using it for a rural highway network. -Swamper77quote> I would like the ANT used for a bus way only, could this be done? In Sydney we have them, dark red in color, they take the bus's off the main roads and go over/under the main streets/roards..

Anyway, there is a fair bit of stuff on the STEX with a bit of Aussie character, you just have to look for it. I've created a few redbrick shops, some modern concrete brand stores (like Repco, JB etc.) and the old Herald Sun building in Melbourne. Lakeyboy has created some signage. Thesdale is busily recreating every home Metricon, Jennings etc. have created in the last few years and did a Bunnings, two Footy ovals (proper footy) and a Cricket oval. And mattb325 has created some beautiful Sydney terraces. There may be others (Jen_p is an Aussie and was working on some Surburban houses, but I don't think they were ever released).quote>
