Hi guys this DD Wink (Developer Diary) is going to be started in a few weeks or month from now... but I'm going to start a new thread for it now.

Bateman's Bay is going to consist of wide reaching praries and hilly terrain, similar to the Great Plains. More specifically Im basing it off of my homestate of Nebraska. It is going to have some urban areas that will be loosely based off of the Omaha/Council Bluffs area of Eastern Nebraska, and some of the Lincoln areas. It will also feature typical farming areas to that of Nebraska, yes corn too lol! . Im also going to have an Interstate system that will be gliding through the areas, as well as a railway by UP (Union Pacific). Im going to include the University of Nebraska too, cause well I have to. Anyways that's mostly what it'll be over.

FYI this is going to be temporary until I have more time to develop the region some more

A couple of pics to wet the appetite...

the FARR looks really nice! Although that avenue should probably go (unless you are developing it, in which case, it should certainly stay) Smile

Today I'm going to show you the area of Milton. Milton is a small town, based on the industry of farming for the most part. It's situated north of the town of Bertano which I'll show next update. Milton is for the most part a fairly secluded area, except for the fact that I-11 (interstate) goes through the Western part of the town. This is very vital for the area as truckers haul freight and goods from the area to the bigger town of Bertano for their commercial shopping areas. So let me show some pics of the area...

That's all for now, I'm going to update more information on this town as well as Bertano in the next few updates

The turning lanes are from the NAM May 2010 update... you can get it from the LEX site here
http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=851

Also when you're downloading the mod make sure to choose this option...

Thank you guys for the nice words, always love some criticism too of course Smile

Here are a couple more pics for you guys...

1.) Omaha Metro area and Suburbs Bertano-PossibleRegionalHospitalSite

2.) Omaha Metro area and Suburbs Bertano-SouthBertano

3.) Omaha Metro area and Suburbs Bertano-NorthBertanoarea

If you didn't notice, there is some significant changes coming for the town of Bertano Very Happy
Just take a look at the difference between the top picture and the last two... a few stores, roads, and a possible regional hospital now. Rumors are also circulating about a possible grocery store coming too! So some exciting stuff is coming, not to mention there is still a lot of land to develop in this region lol... Last but not least also, the Interstate 11 (rhw) area is going to be extended through the region. Originally it was built as a type of bypass around another area beyond Bertano, but now the FSHA (Federal Sim Highway Association) has agreed to continue it's expansion of the I-11 corridor into the Eastern part of the region towards.... hint, hint--Omaha!
Hope to see you guys back, it's going to get really fun in a little while afro

Nice Very Happy Only criticism, pic 1: get rid of the zone thing Smile ctrl+x opens cheat thing then type zoneria Smile I really like the route from South Pittsburg,TN to Richmond, VA (I24-I75- I81 to I 64) and this reminds me of the area between Bristol and I64. (I know thats kinda unintentional but I say it looks good like that) Smile

Hello again!

Wanted to show some updates on the new Interstate extension which is called I-40.
Construction is actually a little behind schedule due to some labor problems and typical contract disputes, but otherwise making good progress.
Let me show a couple of progress pics on the I-40 project...

This portion of the I-40 project was the first part that has been finished just recently. If you look closely I labeled some road names, like Lincoln Hwy Very Happy

Omaha Metro area and Suburbs Milton-NewI-11I-40Trumpet

Last exit before you have to turn off onto Buckhead Road, this will eventually be a four lane avenue. Buckhead is about 10-15 minutes to the east of this.

Omaha Metro area and Suburbs Buckhead-I40lastexitbeforefreewayends

This is the where the construction has began after finishing up w/the Buckhead RD exit... This next portion of the I-40 project will probably take between 3-4 years before being finished.

Some more pics of the construction

And finally we arrive with a Regional Satellite image to give a overview of how things are coming w/the DD Smile
Omaha Metro area and Suburbs BatemansBay-RegionalPic

Next update... I'm wanting to show you is going to be about the famous Lincoln Highway, which used to be the only way to get across the country. Also for future reference Im going to begin naming ALL roads for realism and reference reasons.

Wow A very nice update Brenn. Your use of RHW looks great, and your interchanges and exits are all really smooth. Also it looks like your region is getting developed, however I expected to see some water considering the name of your DD Smile

Hehe well originally the region had a bay area and stuff... but since I can't download SC4M (SimCity4 Mapper) it was opened like a all large tile plains region lol! But thanks, Im planning on doing a lot of stuff with the boring region Razz

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments... Brian idk about being one of the best in city building but i know that i have gotten better with time Surprised
Im going to be doing some things here the next few days, both with my region and also with school/work life. So excuse me if I start slowing down with my updates... I'll try to make sure the wait is worth it Very Happy
