Very nice update. I like the fact that you have so many transport based updates. But here's a little hint:

I don't think anyone cares about the flag. Plus it's only 3 orange stripes, and the word 'Atrubia' - maybe more creativity might garner more attention.

Replies before I'm off to bed...

just_a_guy: I think they are. I'm not quite sure! They are the sails of the south by Illtonkso on the STEX.

danielcote: I like to have finctional landmarks but they are all plopped so I guess it is eyecandy!

Bobbi: Thanks! I worked for quite a while trying to get it just right!

joelyboy911: Thanks for the helpful reply! I thought it was a litle bland but I need ideas like your comment! And obviously you probably like to enhance images on photoshop or somethin (if not I'm sorry!) but do you know what the best photo enhancer is? I've seen animated fireworks, rain, snow, airships, battleships (etc.) on many pics but none of them are on photoshop, Infranveiw or Photobucket. Do you know how to do that? If so it would be a BIG help! Or maybe point me in the direction of someone who knows how to do it (if you know anyone)?

That all the replies! BTW update..... 19 is it? Will come monday. I just got back from a trip to W. Palm Beach and I am tired! See you all monday!

I'm not sure about animated fireworks and rain, but they could well be made by hand by the creator. If you want to have animated .gifs in your MD you could use Easy GIF Animator. It has a free trial period. As for enhancing photos, I like to tinker with night shots' brightness and contrast, add and subtract areas, combine elements from seperate images using careful cutting and pasting & things like that. I do these in Paint.NET, which I also use to create my ground textures and BAT textures.

Nice teaser! I wish there were overhanging props (similar to the jeronij's walls) to hide the terrain under the on-slope puzzle piece... I

I9113N · July 19, 2009, 01:26:46 PM

I love the waterfront picture, great leafy suburban area, save for the under bridge area.

Keep it up!

BTW, I happen to love flags, and would be happy to help if you wanted to make a different flag for your MD.

physicsguy981 · July 19, 2009, 01:33:07 PM

Nice post and teaser!

I agree with the previous replies about the under-bridge area, but I'm looking forward to seeing more of this suburban area!

peter007 · July 20, 2009, 01:18:21 AM

Perfect navy

I like to see a new uodate soon

KoV Liberty · July 20, 2009, 08:43:17 AM

Update 19: Back to Riyadh.

joelyboy911:
Do you think you could give me a link to GIF?

mrbisonm:
Thanks! It is a texture by Peasus. The latest one. What water texture are you using? It looks great for your MD!

io_bg:
Me too it is very annoying.

I9113N:
Thanks! I just wish there were texture for the under bridge places. And tthanks for doing my flag! I sent you a PM with the details.

physicsguy981:
Thanks! You will see more of it in this update!

peter007:
Thankyou! I spent a countless amount of time on the seaport to make it look just right! Enjoy the update!

Now... Onto the update! This will be about a new RES area...

Riyadh Height is an area about 15m above the area. With streets running in the trenches. They are connected by small road bridges. Here are some more pics...

Here are some night pics of the surrounding area.

Remember the National Swimming Center? I said it would be torn down and replaced in one of the earlier updates. Well I finally got around to it and here is the outcome...

Lastly I leave you with some night pics of the new waterfront of Riyadh...

Please post, replies, hints, ideas, etc.

io_bg · July 20, 2009, 09:11:41 AM

Nice update. I really like the marina and the skyscraper districts!

KoV Liberty · July 20, 2009, 12:28:29 PM

To everyone: We have now passed 3400 views! Thankyou to all who stopped by and especially to all who commented! Update 20 will come Wednesday.

KoV Liberty · July 20, 2009, 08:46:26 PM

To everyone who has a slow connection......

Very soon (on a day that I have time

) I will make updates 1-9 JPEG. It will take some time but I can do it! I finally figured it out. See you all Wednesday!

stocktons_pimp · July 20, 2009, 09:24:28 PM

very well executed...

The elevated suburbs are interesting indeed. I like them. Seems to give more privacy and better views of the city. And the waterfronts look great as well.

Good update!
