Jan-Erik Houtman did an excellent job. His city looks amazing!

 

Yes yes, in the end, always the public person gets all the credits although many other people
help him and almost give up their lives for their city, not?

 

hey inan.. excellent city... by the way i was just wondering how do you manage to deal with the traffic conditions??

 

I know right.. the traffic is such a pain.. and I have to admit.. I wasnt so sure that the city's working and its population wont be affected if there was a massive gridlock of traffic.. everytime the warning comes saying the city has massive issues with traffic i spend the next few weeks trying to create alternate routes thus destroying my original city layout. Are you sure the city functions normally even if the traffic is all messed up?

anyways.. thanks for your reply and am looking forward to seeing your next update

 

They use helicopters, didn't you know that?

Anyways, a good way to have lesser traffic problems is to create an highway ring
with extensions to the city center and to the industry areas. Place the larger heavy and manufacturing industry areas outside of the highway ring and try to have easy transitions.
This way, I'd recommend to have a T-junction of the 6 lanes highway ring (for larger
cities with about 1 to 2 million inhabitants, so 3 lanes each direction) and a outbounding
4 lanes highway extension that goes over into a large avenue.
Use the large avenue splitter by Altiris, so you can connect a 2 lanes highway part with
the large avenue...

What? They have traffic problems? Hmmh, I'd rather say that most big cities
do not get the monetary support they deserve, especially regarding the
country of the Autobahn, good old Germany. Travel to Cologne by car,
and tell if you reached the city
too many eyes of a needle concentrating on too little space
and it will take almost a decade until the biggest problems
are solved, and this only in the best case...

 

@Inan
how long it takes to finish build this great city and do You plan to build a new one? I see all Your city is finish

 

Maybe we could all agree that with flat map we dont have to cover the whole map with building or plazas because not only is it time consuming, it also contributes to lag which spoils the whole game experience in my opinion. Perhaps we could concentrate on maybe just half of the map layout, maybe centrally and pour all effort and concentration in making that part beautiful instead of spending time just trying to fill up the map?? well this is just my opinion but many would disagree with me on this.. Many seem to believe we have to use 100% of the map.

 

oh wow that is so fast..and I would like to see Your next city, I always like it

have You try the globalsetting trick? it helps me a lot to reduce lag...but there is 1 harbour mod become weird where the building become transparent.
Currently I always zoom in and only focusing into area that I was develop and never see wide area of the city, if I see the wide area just once then the game start to run very slow even when I zoom in into somewhere. Also before saving I zooming in into empty grass/road near the area I was building , so when next time I load the game it only show the grass/road.....well that's my way too reduce lag

 

Btw, maybe for some practice with Photoshop
(which you can download for free- good old CS2-),
but what about some photos for the election time?
So changing the billboards with Ole's tutorial
where the parties make advertisment for their candidates,
some crowds in front of the City Hall, and so on?

 

are many boat is very beautiful. those work? can't roadto another island?
