[tag_one]

Great! But wait... aha!  I think I see an aisan style building beside the Empire State! 

[Jack Bauer]

Old these mosaics are so perfect and you have showed a few because there is plenty of it on your topic!!!!

[j-dub]

Wow, wider oneway roads with intersections. It looks real.

[rootbears]

How did you get the wider one way roads???

[068664663]

rootbears: I think that is just some photoshopping.

[Andreas]

I think those textures are from the Gare du Nord texture pack that xannepan made for the original Gare du Nord lot. Most likely, they have been used on a custom lot in order to create the illusion of a double-wide oneway-road.

[j-dub]

At the same time, it looks like theres an avenue underneath that wider OWR. The intersections give it away, but it really looks like the real deal with the cars headlights working, but its only taxis, and red and grey cars using it. I can only make 6 lane OWR's in 2 tiles, good enough.

[Sciurus]

Waow!
You makes me doing a word travel!

I have to admit that this is the most fun I've had with SC4 - I really enjoyed building it and hope you like the pictures.

[praiodan]

Wow, excellent pictures 

Been trying to recreate some typical Berlin suburban developements from the end of the 19th century. It's not ready of course 





And here as a comparison my inspiration for this quarter, the area around Lichterfelde Ost in the south of Berlin:

Your recreations are looking really realistic there, paroch! Nice work on it!
And also nice work on that suburban development, Praiodan!

[rootbears]

great work guys !!

Not bad work there calvin, but... what real life city is this recreation of? It's a little bit too hard for me to make it out As for the work itself, as I stated not bad. If I were you, though, I'd download some more buildings. They would make this area look fuller and more original.

praiodan, I like how you've based your suburbs around the ones that can be found in Germany, and especially Berlin. Keep up the good work with that!

[j-dub]

Heres a real place I recreated. Unfortunately this is only half a reality with current limitations. I am likely to loose being signal-less if the road mod used here is ever finished. For now I can have various lane choices to impersonate a real place. The game image is 100% game, no PS-ing but this Avenue T to road with a turning lane, I have not heard any plans that is finalized. Too bad, I like not having signals for this situation.
