New canals? Surely you can't be serious?

Not really, they should all match the network that they are related too as they match the road width.  They should have the same capacity as the network.  The only reason that there would be a bottleneck is people are nervous.

The next person that suggests I do transit enabled LOTs again will be shot....  The figure of 100 for capacity was set by SC4Tool... Why does it generate such a low value?  And can someone please write a step by step guide?

Since there are too many different capacities available in the different NAM traffic simulators,
there is no single value that can be considered the right one.

If you want to make it perfectly, you would have to make one version for each traffic simulator,
in the same way that I did the Census Repository Facility, but that's not really feasible here...

The minimum capacity for street-based bridges would be 100.
That's the capacity of streets in Maxis' own traffic simulator.

600 would be the absolute minimum for road-based bridges.
That's the capacity for the ingame road toll booth.

Back to something resembling normality (for me).... I decided to start on the building for the canal marina, and here's progress so far..

and here's the marina again, in case you'd forgotten what it looks like...



As you will see from the new shots, I've changed the name  $%Grinno$%

The building will need to look out with Careless Airways dropping pianos on things that have "Morris Marina" written on them :D :D

Sorry, couldn't resist ;D

You can dump that LOT, it was a error.

Here's an ingame shot... Please don't laugh at the LOT, I'll be sending the models to Barby so she can do it properly....

I envy your talent.

However I spied what looked like a small imperfection in your second-to-most-recent post:



Not sure if its an error in the lot, the BAT or just some photoshopping?

Edit: I realised this is an old picture, so I hope I'm not pointing out something you already noticed

Also, If I may be so bold, would it be possible to have a version of this lot that could be used on the game's sea? That would be really cool.

Please keep up the amazing work.

It may be possible... I did play with that a while ago but the LODs kept freaking out on me...

The marina looks great :thumbsup: In fact, the lot is pretty nice, too!
Still hoping you'll make diagonal pieces one day $%Grinno$% It will be worth the hard work for sure!

Looks great, now I just need to BAT a piano and position it strategically above the Morris Marina :D

on a side note, would it be possible to create a dropping piano effect?

PS: I know that I am kind of obsessed with the whole dropping pianos on Morris Marinas thing (there's even a facebook fan page about it  :D)

PPS: Cal, do you happen to know when the new series of Top Gear are going to be on tv?
