@Pat I would love to add borders. Does anyone know of a free program to use...I don't have photoshop and can't affford it..
Chapter One, Update Three[/size][/center]

I could suggest GIMP if you´re after something like Photoshop (a bit simpler than PS, but does the job).
If You want to do it the easy way like I do, use a photosharing site like Photobucket, they usually have such features available once You have uploaded your pics.

As for your MD I like the looks of it so far and what You have done with the various transit networks.
It is always nice to see an MD with a story in it, that helps to keep the interest up.

Sciurus · April 12, 2009, 01:47:39 AM

It's nice, but the link from the STR is for the MAC install

Guillaume

bob56 · April 12, 2009, 01:03:37 PM

@Swesim: I didn't realize photobucket had one...

@Sciurus: The link is for windows, when it was uploaded they put the wrong word in...It should work

Sciurus · April 13, 2009, 04:28:18 AM

Yes, thanks for the link, and I tried yesterday, nothing to say

Nexis4Jersey · April 13, 2009, 09:49:44 AM

Fantastic Update

, although that Elevated rail viaduct would make me nervous flying in

@Sciurus: Good it works, i sure love it, and apparently others do to (it won in the poll)

@Nexis4Jersey: Thanks, I wanted something to go over the T-RAM, but I might shorten the tall part...

UPDATE EIGHT

'You asked for it!!!'

As I checked the poll results and locked to set up a new one, I noticed STR had the most votes. (sorry Pat, I try to be democratic

So I created a new town with mucho STR. Here's the overview of South Farmstead...

8-1

btw I now have frames!!! I just got the program, I will mess with it.

The city includes two bridges...

8-2

and a very nice Station...

8-3

To the South is the main residential area. To the north is an industrial sector...

8-4

And that's YOUR STR city.

Also, as I took pictures, I noticed two trains that were both stopped, as if they were nice enough to wait for the other.

8-5

This looks nice, but I had a different problem with the train producing lots (I love using them for my pics)

So.....

WHEN TRAIN PRODUCING LOTS GO BAD!!!!!!!

This...

8-6

and...

8-7

I'd hate to be one of those passengers...kind of resembles 4th spatial dimension (multiple objects of the same object lined up and connected by the corners

)

That's all for now!!! As always, please comment and vote, as the polls decide the updates!!!

Edit: I tried fixing the pics, but it doesn't work. If someone knows how to resolve this, please leave a comment!! Thanks!

Sciurus · April 30, 2009, 09:17:39 AM

Very nice little city, I really like this

But it's damage this accident (among?) two trains

I hope there's not to much death

@Sciurus: Thanks, first off, how do the trains seemingly go through each other? lol

Update Nine!!!

sorry for the delay, This should pick up speed shortly. Also, bear with me as I try different formats, criticism is appreciated!

I decided to ditch the frames, as they were a space issue. Additionally, I can't figure out how to remove the poll, so I guess you'll have to keep voting!

Now....

WELCOME TO UVC NEWS, WHERE WE TELL THE STORIES BETTER THAN THE OTHER STATIONS!!!!

praiodan · May 31, 2009, 09:14:07 AM

Jesus. If Nardo saw the last picture of this update, with all the crossings, he'd rip off your head immidiatly, without a sign of warning

Apart from that, some real nice pictures there... But really... Be careful and hope that Nardo won't see that picture.

bob56 · May 31, 2009, 12:38:27 PM

I have one freight and one passenger line. However, when I took this I was having difficulty seperating them, so I drew those just to be safe.

Now That I have viaduct intersections,(see 2-4-4) those have since been deleted.

bob56 · June 12, 2009, 08:55:16 AM

@ praiodan: sorry, i forgot one. I'll staple a sticky-note to my forehead to remind me next update!

UPDATE TEN!!!

I have decided to stick with the news-style updates, so I can showcase developments in multiple cities in te same update, so there will be no more decimals (3-2, 3-3)

We begin with the grand opening of the CanalMall in Ural City. THis shopping center resort includes an outdoor center with underground parking. The cost to get in is $2 a person.

10-1

It looks wonderfully lit up at night. This multi-million center is expected to bring hundreds of thousands of tax revenue to the city.

10-2

Over in Utaktria, a railroad bridge was connected, allowing freight to be exchanged on a different note, please vote on how to connect passenger transit between the two cities
10-3

The land mass between the bridges is expected to be turned into a seaport in the coming years.

building developments:
The airport area of Utaktria is getting more residential development, and sound walls and a park area have bordered the plane entry points of the airport.

10-4

Also, the skyline of South Utaktria is rising...

10-5

Now for weather, we check out the beautiful sunny satellite view of Utaktria. Check this out.

Thanks for watching UVC news!!!!

please comment and vote!!! Thanks for visiting! I'm expecting more updates soon since school is over for the summer! Bye!!

rooker1 · June 12, 2009, 09:28:06 AM

Fantastic work here, I really love the pictures. But you should really resize your earlier pictures to no wider than 1024, please.
