right so i just got back from flying this quality aircraft: :)



Which is the viking T1 glider

But anyway time for an update and this time it is of the borough of Eastworth.



This borough, as the image shows, is adjacent to the CBD. The borough has several notable features and buildings, the most important is Sedgemore Station. The station is the largest terminus in the city and handles millions of passengers every day. It's interlinked tube station is the busiest in the city, and is one of several in the district. There is also the large Eastworth hospital which is the city's main medical centre and contains part of the biology department at the of ashford Imperial University who's Eastworth campus is located across a dual carrigeway from the hospital. Croyde park contains the Ashford wheel, which was built to commemorate the 1500th anniversary of the city's establishment in 0506 AD. While the majority of the borough consists of highrise flats the western edge is an extension of the cbd, and contains the city's tallest building which is the headquarters of Berkshire Hunt Bankers. The northeast part of the borough contains Canal Hamlet; the home of Ashford Athletic FC, a team in the top league of football in the uk.

But i believe it's pic time. :)



A major roundabout connecting Parkway (west to east) to St Mary's street (North to south)

In the bottom right is he Eastworth campus of the Imperial University of ashford (the red/orange building) next to the A20 which is the elevated ring road around the city centre, and Eastworth Hospital

Very nice update.
The under highway lots are perfect, your night shots are great. 
I really like the city's over all look.  I'll be watching out for your next update.

SuperTimo

Looks fantastic.  I like your use of the wide radius curves in your urban area!  The London Eye is a nice touch as well!

Right update time before i go away again :)

This time it's the borough of Maxwell (thanks for the name zero7 :) )



This borough is another one adjacent to the CBD, and as such it's boundries blur into. The borough is one of the most affluent in the city with hugely expensive properties surrounding Maxwell gardens, the largest park near the city centre. The park also contains St David's cathedral the city's major church. The district also contains the main shopping area in the city, which is located on Parkway.

The shopping area.











The district as it joins the CBD.











Maxwell Gardens and the luxury flats in the area around the park.





















And finally a classical Theater located among the high wealth properties.



That's all for now peeps, maybe ill take more day shots next time :)

As others have mentioned previously, you do a good job of integrating the wide radius curves into the urban setting.  In this update I particularly like the brick viaduct and the avenue bridge.  Somewhere there is a set of el-rail pieces that have businesses in the railway arches - I think they might be SFBT - could work well in your city.

I have a set like that by deadwoods. I've used them in other parts of the city, but i feel that in this area they look a bit too low rent. I have EL rail in many parts of this city and i have the base texture mod for them which is brilliant, however for this part i wanted to keep the old style heavy rail viaduct to help keep the British style mix of old and new :)

And with the curves i always try to use them whenever possible to try and keep the realism ;)

Battlecat

Great looking urban area!

samerton

Great night-time views! Great city, too!

SuperTimo

Cheers for the comments peeps, ill get another update soon ;)

cubby420

You know, I feel like its so rare to see that particular base texture on the park lots. I dig it! Love you custom content mix too...very diversified. Some of my favorite Ill Tonsko buildings made the cut I see...also very awesome. Pic 4 is my favorite of the bunch. The sunken parks look awesome at night for sure.  :thumbsup:

SuperTimo

sorry for the long delay everyone ive been very busy lately i'll try and get an update as soon as possible :/

SuperTimo

Sorry for the delay again peeps, for now im just going to show a bit of a teaser of some areas im working on. I haven't had the time to work on the city enough and i don't feel that any districts in particular are ready to be in an Update.

Btw does anyone know if im able to get LHD versions of mrtnrln's mods? His traffic lights and intersection mods are brilliant but unfortunetly look wrong in british cities. :(
