    Are we going to post pictures of our progress here or in another thread?
    I've ended up starting again for the third time as I was unhappy with the way my city was. The third one is looking good.

    Well, in the end, there will again be a thread where you can post your 10 best photos
    that you want to use, regarding the categories you want to participate in.
    But before, everyone can give some impressions, not?

    Just had a look at the old bootleg comp anoncement and we just put progress pictures in there as we were building. When I can get off my lazy butt and stop watching TV I'll post a few pic's :)

    Maybe I should ask @nicko2u to send some spiders from Australia to scare your off from watching TV? Or snakes? Anything that could help :D

    Like I said before this is my third city on this map. This one feels like its going somwhere.
    tmp_9591-cxl_screenshot_pandorisa_18941499553.jpg
    Its a little more filled in now as I have been working on it all afternoon trying to get it to the size of my previous attempts.
    tmp_9591-cxl_screenshot_pandorisa_19450092132.jpg
    I wanted hedgerows so I made a patch with the bush plants from lexs greenary mod and made them approx the same size.
    tmp_9591-cxl_screenshot_pandorisa_23833041198.jpg
    The mass of trees at the bottom of the picture is a huge manmade hill. Its got a handful of executive houses on it. I called it executive hill. So lame lol

    @skullz613 I would really recommend to place such huge forest areas at last, even in case you got a super
    fast core. Those trees will slow the game down in any case, and we do not want any crashes
    and frustrated gamers, do we? :p
    Aside of that, your city looks very promising, and has, despite the apparent differences in climate,
    several similarities with some cities there, e.g. Hamilton and Auckland :)
    Keep up the good work!

    Yeah I might chop some of those trees down :)
    The games running OK for now. I'm using a laptop with a i5 core. Its an old HP elitebook 8460p. It runs CXL better than my PC. My PC's graphics card is a bit outdated.

    That greenery mod will be usefully to refine some parts of my city:"Oliver"
    It needs some inner city and waterfront refinement, but I will be leaving that until I've finished with the suburbs.
    Sadly, every time I tried to download a road texture mod it crashed my game, so I'm stuck with regular roads.

    I recently built an airport in the top right of the map.

    I use the japanese road textures by nogerivan. They were in beta but I think he released them in resources. I have not had any issues with them and they look great.

    Just started; a bit late maybe to fully finish the city, but well...
    Seems like it will be a North Eastern US styled City this time :eek:
    yeah, US cities by me, eh? One could think I was on drugs :D
    Anyways, there will most likely be trams, too,
    the European in me is too influential :p
    But well, there are trams in Portland, too, not?

    Any suggestions about a better location for an international airport?
    Runways with length of about 3,200 meters, 2,300 meters, and 1,600 meters, I think that should be sufficient
    for even some Boeing 747 extended, as the air at sea level is thicker, what allows for shorter
    runways. If not, tell me :D

    1,942m
