Welcome to an urban metropolis, with it's rural surrondings, from farms, mountains and Alps, lakes, with lush green forests, to Mediterranean coast with islands, cliffs, and bare pleatau's.

(AD1) Welcome to Edvard Rusjan Airport in Celje!


Ladies and gentleman, we have now touched ground, at Celje's Airport of Edvard Rusjan. Please remain seated until we stop.

I like the quadrangles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrangle_(architecture)), the open spaces in your terminal building, with the trees in them.  I never thought of doing that before.

But firstly thank you to all of you.

These were probably the only (or amongst the few) of pictures. I will be making my second MD (the first is on simtropolis), with video material. Short but nice I hope.

So here is yet another video, from the airport, an actual plane landing, and taxi to the gate. =)
Was meant to be in the first update, but had some dificulties uploading it. (Don't know why I forgot the youtube)

http://www.youtube.com/v/MwnhRwLBju0

So to add some things, if anyone knows and can help, I've got two questions. First is how would I make this topic to show it's name as the last update does. I konw some pople have that.
And second is it possiple to make an embded youtube video on this forum? Because if i copy the link of embded video on to here, it just makes averything wrong.

Thanks guys!

P.S.: I am considering awarding points for the most posts in my topic and name streets for people who post the most. There is a lot of space, because what I have here is one metropolis with currently a 1,5 million residents, so how about first to get to 20 gets an important boulevard named after him. =)

BTW the City of Celje (this one not the real one), has two airports at the moment, this one, that was shown, is built on a large city tile, so it's an enourmous.

Today I have arrived in the old city, by the train, that connects the Celje-severni kolodvor (Celje-north rail terminus) to the Airport of Edvard Rusjan (the RL famous Slovenian flyer and inventor of the first Slovenian/Yugoslavian airplane (in 1909 (EDA I)). Not to be strange, but this airport was built 40 years later on the same site, as the first flight.

So, of to the next video of the area behind the Celje-Severni kolodvor which is a big hub, as you will see in the video. =)

Here is where you enter the newer part of the old city. The avenue is a part of the inner city ring boulevard (part of it starting here, might just carry your name*). The profile of this ''avenue'' going, towards the old city has this profile:[OWR-2|sidewalk|houses|3x-6x double rail track|GHSR|sidewalk|OWR-2] and is very wide of course. Traffic is bearable, only at rush hours there is standing traffic, but even that is because of the downtown area a bit further to east (right on the video).

Today we're going to walk across one of many student campuses.

The city of Celje has two universities. One public university (University of Celje) which is around 300 years old and is one of the best in the world and the Šentjakobska (St.Jacob) university, which is also quite old and very very good. The first university has around 80.000 students, the second 35.000 students. There is also one more university on the outskirts of the city, which is a very young faculty, but already has near 6000 students. Of course it is not as good as the other two, but they manage. =)

So here is a shot of a student campus with Faculty for Mathematics, Fac. for Geodesy and Construction engineering, Fac. for Computer studies and Information systems and Faculty of Engineering.
This campus features a smaller technical library, some shops and cafes and teh most important thing, that was here first, the grain silo's changed into student homes. All this was a project of students and profesors from the Royal architecture academy of Celje. And got a huge amount of rewards. Here it is.

There was quite a break for some time now, because I was in Denmark for some time and when I got back, I had to get back at my studies and drawing (2nd year at the faculty of architecture), so now that I had some time AND now that we got the new NAM with RHW and the new NWM I was waiting for very eagerly, I can give you another video or two.

This video is shot on the outskirts of the downtown area. It features an old style (maxis) el-Highway, and again a lot of traffic:

http://www.youtube.com/v/odUc8YlkN7s

This next one features the very beginning of the downtown and a lot of the monarchies public service buildings. Also seen is the 5-lane collector vein, running south of downtown. This is one of the most famous places in the city. Why? Let's leave that for the next time.

Asking for more replies is mostly not the way to get more people to comment. All MD's need time to develop.
It could be that your videos are just not very interesting to look at. The ones I have seen so far are not showing anything that you could not show with just a simple image.

Replies: Yes kwakelaar, I am starting to agree with you. I'll be getting on with pictures. The idea in my head was quite good, with the videos I mean, but when put out, I see pictzures are far better than videos, because, they give you a million ways to understand what is there on the picture. The main problem I'm having is that the region is still under construction and so large pieces of the whole puzzle are still missing. Well I'll make an effort to upgrade that.
Thanks nbvc!

Well here is another video.

This here is the old town of Krakovo. Krakovo was a town until around 1840ies, when city of Celje ate the whole thing. =) Today, there is almost no visible border between the two and everything is the old city inside the 1st Ring boulevard.

Shown here is one of the main plazas/squares in the neighborhood, the Tržni trg (Market place).

http://www.youtube.com/v/fyOyUcG5ua8

The Market place is cut in half by the Poljska road, which is actually a road with tram running in the middle. One piece is the market, the other is very dull and boring and is currently getting an architectural overhaul. The market consists of two parts, the old and the new. The new part are two pavillions, work of architectural firm RezArt, the older part are booths from 1960's.

This second video shows a quick stroll on the side of the Fabiani lake (named after a very important architect from the begining of th 20th century, that made it) and along side the Kobenhavn boulevard.

http://www.youtube.com/v/t0VmYWj7xMA

The park area you can see is the Celje city park and is the largest by far. It is around 3km long and 500m wide and with these measurments it is quite a big obstacle for the city transit infrastructure. Because of that initial plans by fabiani got an upgrade with water traffic in the lake, which stretches the majority of the park.

Today the public transit line on the lake alone carries around 20.000 people per day (just so you know, there are tram and underground lines and stations around the lake, and a lot of big roads)

Thank you every one so much. =) Those plazas are Ped mall tiles in the NAM system. They are pedestrian only tiles. All the downloads are from STEX and SC4D LEX and there are a looooot of them, I'm reaching 2GB right now and there's more to come. One thing that will be finding it's place in my plugin folder are the textures for the world. I'm looking for mediterraenean stuff. Does anyone know of any?
Here's a pic of what i'm looking for:

Post by: strucka on August 28, 2010, 03:19:12 PM
Thanks to both. First, Giel, I tried, but just didn't have the right feel to it, maybe in the next update. Tag, there is a hidden underpass, that can be entered in two of the buildings. And besides, most of the time, the traffic is either moving very slowly (like 5metres/min) or it's standing in a jam. Open google translator and enter tarzhni in for english and listen to it. That's quite near it's slovene pronounciation (ž=zh in english).

Hi there again!
First of, I have to apologize to everyone. My reallife kicked in heavily and of course studying architecture was the first in line for me. Now I got just enough new material, to produce another teaser, that this time will be given a sequnce of them, until a new video is prepared, that will show of the simengineering of Celje region. What I wil show is the first ever connected highway, number A1 that connects Celje (now counting 2.2mil residents) with the seaside city of Trsat and ends at the airport on the outskirts of the town.

This is the sight of the A1 going over the first of it's many viaducts and tunnels.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shrani.si%2Ff%2F35%2FRZ%2F3of9l9vB%2Fslika-avtocesta-a1-tease.jpg&hash=bc79edc7173554484042180d9c089b44506dc9c9)

This is a mountainious highway, projected for the speeds of around 120km/h, so there is a safety limit of 110 around all of the tunnels and viaducts, however, there is a 140km/h limitation on the straight and less curvy parts.

Before it's existance, the cities were connected by a windy and steep road over the top of the mountains and a slow single track rail. The commute time before that was around 4 hours @ 90km of twisty road, or 5 hours for the train, now it's gone down to 35 minutes @ 78km, the longest tunnel is 8km long.

Hope this moves the thread automaticly to the active threads again.

Replies welcome ( I promise I will update now).
Thank you!

Hello again!

Technically we're still at the same topic, but today, we are on different track.
A double track railway actually. It has been built a long time ago. In 1848 actually. The main reason for it was the horrible and awfully steep transit route for horses and carriages back then, that made the transport from Celje to Trsat port travel around 10 days. The tip of the ice berg was, when the emperor Friderik IX. went to his summer residence in Trsat, he traveled for such a long time, his ignorant rule colapsed. Then the new emperor put all of his efforts in to the railroad, so he could go to the sea for a week or two and be back rally fast if something was wrong in his empire. Though there was a really positive vibe for the rail from the economy, that could then get stuff faster from the sea. And to the capital. There were a lot of problems with the rail, but most were solved afterwards in the 20th century, when building techniques developed more. Most concerning were some slopes that caused quite a few train crashes in the winter, after in 1863, the winter traffic got limited for only the good and warm days (no nights). The tracks were very well maintained, and some parts of the original track are still in use, but 67% of it goes a new way, less steep less curvy, with wider curve and longer tunnels. So today the track allows the speeds of up to 140km/h, but is limited to lower speeds, especially one part where the allowed speed is 40km/h (yes you guessed it, it's one of the originals).

What also stands here proudly from 1845 is this bridge. The first steel bridge in the monarchy stands proudly as it has been there from yesterday.

The engineer of that bridge fell in love with it, and built a cottage in the middle of nowhere with almost no access to it, just so he could go here and look at it for a week in absolute isolation.

So these are the main arteries between the cities, I will put a few pictures of one and the other up here in the next few weeks, when the video returns. =) In it.. no I won't tell you what we'll do in it.

hey your work here looks very promising, however if you are going to use plop flora and plop rocks, perhaps you should increase your level of treatment on your river and coast shores. while i understand that sometimes grass goes to the edge of a stream, there is usually at least some form of mud/gravel/weed boundary, even in open terrain. your shots show great scope and prior planning, but it lacks the final polish to make them truly superb.

Replies: Thank you to both! Mightygoose I agree with the rocks, still have to work on those, let's just say this is a section where the grass comes down to the river ;)

Today I will give only one and a half picture (half cuz one is so small, eventhough it shows A LOT).

The A1 ''autobahn'' starts on the outskirts of Celje and ends on the outskirts of Trsat as we already said. The rail actually starts and ends in the centre of both cities. So what else could I do, rather then show those two.

This is Celje again, now reaching around 1.8mil residents (2.2mil. in metro area).
It's a small picture, I know, but it's a little detail, of a huge city, Celje really is.

I know it's too wide,  but please don't get mad mods, it's a small panorama

This photo shows the city's old cores (Celje, Krakovo, Glazija) and two of the medieval hill fortresses, with the newer (from 18th century on) parts of the city and the CBD district, called Mesto (eng.: City), with majority of the cities skyscrapers. This part of the city was so notorius, that in 1910 (after it's 20th 100m+ skyscraper) the city government of New York City, took this as an example, of how Manhatten should look like. South of the City are the Lower and Upper house of Parliament, followed by the Kings palace and the Kings square (where the highest authority (King and Queen) talks to people, when talk is needed or on special ocasions).


The other city is Trsat, now this is a smaller city, that counts around 300.000 heads, but is a very important city. This is a picture in the centre, near the King's (summer) palace. However, you can see the King station (a near exact copy of it is in London actually, funny thing is, it's called the King's cross), the end station to this rail line from Celje to Trsat.

Welcome again! Because of the lack of time again, you onlx get the railway again. It's the so called ''tržanka'' line again, but this time, not on the viaducts and in the hills. It's right after it runs down, to the flatlands of the Trsat bay. The area is prosperous, having some constant wind force, there are quite a lot of wind powerplants and the fertile earth is used to produce the best apples and one of the most highly aprecciated sunflower oils in the region.

Soon I will have a little bit more time, which means a better update. You can hardly wait for it can't you? ;)

I'm sorry guys, but there is such a drought in my Sim City department, that I just don't have the time to make any photos or even to make an update. :thumbsdown:
But I'll be taking some time this weekend just for You. ;) See you soon
