btw welcome to page 13 of this faboules MD..........

[pickled_pig]

Congrats on having a harmless freshman year, Travis.   Senior year for me right now is crazy... consider yourself lucky you're only in 9th grade.

You're very welcome as per the signature - you put out such quality work as to deserve recognition.

Your region's obviously incomplete but I see where it's going.  It realistically goes from downtown to suburbs.

  Great update you done . Even if i`m late to comment i like your work . Only a negative point, your cemetary is a bit small  ...    Just kidding, is very nice. Hey , the bridge pic is just very nice . You should compete with it. Have a nice day 

[Krio]

I must admit that I've never been in this MD before, mainly because of name. I was waiting some hillbilly stuff but this is one of the realistic MDs ever made from American midwest.

The calendar's been marked, and we've come to September 3! I'll be looking forward to the update! Happy Six-Month Anniversary, Travis!

The region overview lokk great but it seems you will have a lot of work here 
And with your attention to details it will need a long time...

Very good, your visitors will have more pleasure 

Best regards
Adam

Hello everybody, it's the 6-month anniversary of this MD, and as promised, we have a special update. 

Unfortunately, I have to skip the replies this time, I have a terrible cold, ( ) so we'll just say thanks to Robin, bat, Pat, Aaron, kimcar,
Bengt, Dustin, and Adam. 

I had to cut this update short; I kind of ran out of stuff to take pictures of. 

On to the update....

These are almost entirely areas which we've seen before; however, these places have been updated, and all these pics are new. 

I've been expanding the region, with some new terraforming....


Another region view...


A preview of the Port of Flag River...


The East Span of the Ocean Avenue/US-37 Bridge


A view of the Campus of Radston University, which we visited some time ago...


Another look...


Moving South...


The interchange between Union Boulevard and Interstate-318...


A similar picture at night...


Union Station. On the right is the intersection between State Street and Union Blvd.


An updated downtown shot...


Going in closer...


A sports arena...


Some newer marinas...


Anybody remember the airport?


An Industrial area...


A shipping facility...


Some residential areas...


One of Radston's many rowhome districts...


A Wal-Mart in the suburban town of Oakford...


The interchange between SR-72 and I-18...


More suburbia...


And some rural areas...


To end the update, I have a special feature...

Over time, my editing of pictures has changed dramatically. First, we used a soft-edged format;


To the familiar old green;


To our modern 3D frame;


That does it for now, I'll be back soon enough with more. 

Later.

Travis first off i hope you feel better and soon it sucks to have a cold.... Second off wonderful update i miss that old green frame but the new one is ok dokie's...  So much to say also here but be it know i love the shots they was all good and congrats on 6 months of MD'ing and heres to anther 6 to make a year - pat

[emilin]

Good stuff! Really good. You even managed to make "old school" marinas look good (and that isn't easy, hehe...). The new terraforming looks interesting too - it looks like the river should be nice for light development along the shoreline.

[bat]

Wonderful new update, Travis! Great work! Fantastic pictures of your city and great terraforming! 

Looking forward to the port!

[thundercrack83]

Congratulations on the six-month anniversary, Travis! And also, sorry to hear that you've got a cold, I hope you feel better soon.

The update is fantastic! So many great pictures of your work, I don't even know where to start! The power plant, the airport, the marina with the seawalls--outstanding! Here's to six more months, my friend!

[Sober]

That's one big update! That's some nice terraforming, and I particularily liked the US-37 Bridge shot myself

[Ennedi]

Another great update, Travis! 

I like your downtown and the region view, also great work with building transit nteworks! 

I think I don't need to repeat compliments about an airport and industrial area
Btw, where did you get this GSM antenna from? (Edit: I'm an idiot. I have many of them in my cities, it's Jeronij's GSM antenna. Travis, have you ever had such stupid friend?  )
And thank you very much for helping me with SFBT diagonal fillers 

[rushman5]

I loved in insustrial area pic, looks just like NJ!

[pickled_pig]

I can't help but look at that interchange picture (SR-72 and I-18...) - it's very well done.
--I swear I say this always, but like everything else in this region.
Colds can be terrible (I'm certain you know that) - hopefully you have time to recover between school (especially if you have teachers that pretty much expect you to be there every day...) and RL.

Great work here!

I do love good industrial shots (especially if they are NOT I-HT ...  ) and these are that awesome that I don't point too much on that RR crossing with the avenue ...

Superb one with that Buddybud - Underpath at the bridge support! But since the road is ending at the lighthouse a gray street might be more suitable.

You might look for are more raidcal slope mode, IMHO your overpass ramps are a tad too short and steep.

My favorite one is that pic with the underpass at the cooling tower. Just breathtaking!

Take care and don't forget to make backups!

It's teaser time... 

@Pat, thanks Pat! Indeed, I'm feeling better already.  I miss the green frame too; if my Paint Shop trial hadn't run out I'd still be using it.

@Emil, thank you! I actually prefer the maxis marina over the other ones available- it blends in well with the marrast embankment set. 

@bat, thanks!

@Dustin, thanks! Indeed, I hope to see you around 6 months from now- I'm not going anywhere. 

@Sober, thanks!

@Adam, thank you! Yeah, I was wondering why you were asking me for a link to something you already have, ( ) but
everybody makes mistakes.  Thanks for visiting, my friend. 

@Sean, thanks! Glad you think it looks like New Jersey- that's exactly what I'm trying to do. 

@Aaron, thank you! Glad you like the interchange, but I keep thinking there's something wrong with it (aside from the fact I forgot to edit the pic)
, maybe it's those concrete walls. Anyway, I'm feeling better already, but make-up work could be tough.

@Bernhard, thanks! Some good points; I will be downloading a more radical slope mod soon. Glad you like the pics, and don't worry- I make plenty of back-ups, I learned my lesson two years ago. 

Finally, the teaser...



I'll let you guys speculate on that one. 

Later.

[Pat]

nice teaser there travis... btw what are you using now? I use photofiltre and its awsome little tool and user friendly at that...

[thundercrack83]

Awesome teaser, Travis! In fact, I just gave it a vote in the picture competition! Good luck, my friend!

[bat]

Wonderful looking teaser! And congrats on winning the first round in the competition!
