I have decided to start a MD, so here I go! Help me if you can, but I'll try my best.
Here is a teaser of what is to come.

I should have more tomorrow, so stay tuned!
Looks cool! Where'd you get the name from? Just randomly made it up?
-Jordan
I always enjoy a MD that begins with an Aeroplane ;)
Looking good, Cyclone... I'm looking forward to the rest of Bob!
Havva good one,
Adrian.
An MD starting with a landing plane can never end up bad. I also heard you like airports, because you asked me to build two of them.
I am always too lazy to plop all of those grass filler lots in my airport. I should start sometime.

I actually got it from my dad, he says if he had an island, he would name it Bob. I just expanded the idea.

It just takes time. It took me 6 hours to build my first one with RMIP. Now I take 45mins - 1hr.
Now to the update! I'm not to good of a storyteller, so I hope the pictures are good. Any questions or comments are appreciated.

Fantastic job on these natural scenes! You've got some great details here!
Wonderful use of the STR and Mayor Mode Trees! That looks like an awesome hangout :D.

Fantastic work, very nice details, great update!!! :thumbsup:
Great start!
Not bad but your pictures are a bit too dark for my old CRT. Expecially the contrast off 2-3 is so low I guess more than I can see.
Nice work with the empty spaces. You might however turn off the grid before making your shots.
BTW: Did your father ever watched the movie "Titan. A.E." by incident? The MD's name sounds like that ... (if he watched the movie he will understand ...! ;) )
Take care

And an overview of Grafton, one of the largest farming towns in Bob.
Those two interchanges look very close to each other. Ignoring that, it looks like driving through that RHW is going to be driving past farms that all look the same, with the occasional interchange.
Great pics, Cyclone! I really like that fourth one.

Fantastic rural area, and the last image is great!!! :thumbsup:
Good start on this rural area! The farms look very nice and I like the details along your river as well. Can't wait to see more of this area.
Nice Region so far , you might give me some new ideas :thumbsup:
It looks great, I love the detail in the river farms and everything else :) :thumbsup:

Hey guys, I'm sorry for the long time between updates. I should have a largde update tomorrow, so hold on. My life has been full of tests, homework, school related problems, ect. With today being my b'day, I planned to have an update, but probably tomorrow. So till then...

Very nice especially with images of nature! ;)
First of all, happy birthday! And don't worry about updating, RL is more important than SC4!
The teaser is looking pretty nice, my only suggestion is that you should hide the grid (by pressing the G key while playing).
Nice teaser! No worries, real life always comes first!
Nice region can't wait for some development

I know I said I would have an update... Hopefully this weekend I will. I've had test this week that decide if I pass the 9th grade, so maybe you understand. However, I do have a teaser for you...

I don't have a missle launch site in my entire region, let alone city. So is there any reason these are showing up? And is there any way I can get rid of them? But anyways, thanks for coming.
Very nice pics, but it looks like you have a garbage problem. I would try plopping a garbage building of some kind to clean up that mess.
I look forward to seeing more.
Robin ;)
Great update! The industrial area with the canals is very cool! The towers overlooking the waterfront is pretty neat as well.
Robin is right, those small blobs are indicators that your cities garbage is getting out of control. Those will disappear as your excess trash gets processed by an incinerator or dump.
Very nice industry you're building there. I like the canals. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that rail yard. It looks like a big one!
Geoff
Awesome industry the railyard and cargo terminal look amazing!!
Will
Neat!
To remove it you need to plop a waste to energy plant or export garbage to neighbor city.

-Jordan :thumbsup:
Very nice looking cities! Your use of lots is really creative too. :thumbsup: How large is your island, since most small islands don't have any rails, so I assume that it might be a good sized island?
While I can't honestly say I agree with all of your design decisions (there isn't really anyone I can say that about!), I do find your city very interesting, especially with your extensive use of custom content. My favorite pic is 5-6 with the lake and the large parking lot. One thing that is conspicuously absent in a lot of SC cities is parking. Even downtown areas in large market cities often have some surface lots. I thought the park with the lake looked kind of like Cheesman park in Denver, CO. I don't think it has a lake, but it has a road that goes around it like that. I do like the airport as well.
Is there any chance of a few more pictures of the waterfront looking in from out on the water?
Nice!

Nice runway shot! But why would anyone want to leave the Island Nation of Bob? I'd be happy to fly to there. ;)
The runway makes me think of Charlotte Amari (sp) in the Virgin Islands, never been there, but I've (crash ()stsfd()) landed on it in flight simulator, and I found some dirt cheap airline tickets a while back, but spent my money to visit relatives in Germany instead.
