Fort Edward

This is my very first American city, so if there is anything that you think can be improved tell me





:cyclops:

Somebody call 9-1-1, I just had a heart attack.

ST and CJ School Teacher ready for duty.

You do have a good start! But there is always room for improvement.
=================================
Here is my suggestions:

The density of your downtown is WAY too big, I suggest using more mid-high rise buildings. Somewhere around twenty to twenty-five stories is fine.

Use the elevated RHW instead of the Maxis highway, it looks better and in RL, those Maxis lanes would be VERY SMALL o.O .

Variate your commercial low-mid rises, they are rather repetitive

Expand on a lot, use fillers of the same base / overlay texture. This would work very well with alleys or industrial districts.

Use the lot editor, fences on buildings that really need it. For instance, those sport fields would need fences in my opinion. Also, the lot editor is used to improve lots or create new ones. The Maxis buildings' parking lots look hideous in my opinion (except for Industrial usages), use BSC or other parking lot textures.

Personally, the suburbs would look better with an asphalt street (in the SAM).
=================================

Wooooh Evillions :cheers:

I'll try and put more midrises, I have but I didn't plop them :pale: so I shall do that

Concerning, RHW I know the Maxis highway isn't the best but I just suck at RHW, nevertheless I'll give it a go again
And I'll uinstall SAM for that

Thank you for this great review I'll do my best to improve on that

DAMNIT! YOUR KILLING ME! I lost my pride for my side-projects cause of this now Its too Awesome!

Hmm. I prefer your Asian works, but I can't say that there's anything wrong with American style. I just think you're masterful at Hong Kong style.

Kai Tak Airport

Kai Tak Airport (Chinese: 啟德機場; Jyutping: kai2 dak1 gei1 coeng4) was the international airport of Hong Kong from 1925 until 1998. It was officially known as the Hong Kong International Airport (Chinese: 香港國際機場; Jyutping: hoeng1 gong2 gwok3 zai3 gei1 coeng4) from 1954 to 6 July 1998, when it was closed and replaced by the new Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok, 30 km to the west. It is often known as Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport (Chinese: 香港啟德國際機場; Jyutping: hoeng1 gong2 kai2 dak1 gwok3 zai3 gei1 coeng4), or simply Kai Tak, to distinguish it from its successor which is often referred to as Chek Lap Kok Airport (Chinese: 赤鱲角機場; Jyutping: cek3 laap6 gok3 gei1 coeng4).



With numerous skyscrapers and mountains located to the north and its only runway jutting out into Victoria Harbour, landings at the airport were dramatic to experience and technically demanding for pilots. The History Channel program Most Extreme Airports ranked it as the 6th most dangerous airport in the world.

Great images of slums there - very nice.

Nice Love the slums!

KOWLOON!!!!!!!!!!

Very good pictures you got there


would be a shame if you lost it

Too dense! I would like to see more american city.

[size="7"]MTR -1[/size]




Mass Transit Railway (MTR) is the rapid transit railway system in Hong Kong. Originally opened in 1979, the system now includes 211.6 km of rail with 155 stations, including 86 railway stations and 69 light rail stops. The MTR system is currently operated by MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL).






Under the government's rail-led transport policy, the MTR system is a common mode of public transport in Hong Kong, offering efficiency and affordability, with over four million trips made in an average weekday. As of first-half 2009, the MTR has a 42% market share of the franchised public transport market, making it the most popular transport option in Hong Kong. The integration of the Octopus smart card fare-payment technology into the MTR system in September 1997 has further enhanced the ease of commuting on the MTR.








In 1967, construction of the MTR was prompted by a government-commissioned study. The Hong Kong Government had previously commissioned a study in the 1960s to find solutions to the growing traffic problem caused by the expansion of the territory's economy. Construction started soon after the release of the study, and the first line was opened in 1979. The MTR was immediately popular with residents of Hong Kong; as a result, subsequent lines have been built to cover more territory. There are continual debates regarding how and where to expand the MTR network.

Nice update on the MTR in Hong Kong I like how you included both real life and simcity 4 pictures Nice work Greg!

Love the combination of real life images and simcity 4 images - very clever, very effective.
