Mackay... or, The Real Australia

[Bobbi]

Good update!


Welcome to page 10.

[kwakelaar]

I really liked your work on the beaches in your previous update and some very good shots from East Mackay.
And again some wonderful images from the more rural parts, you do those very well.
The green balls along the river are those stones or bushes? I have seen those before, but I think they always look rather odd.

That's interesting Adrian,

How is stuff fitting into the map, just something that cammo mentioned and I have not done yet is SC maps are 1024m rather than 1km so over 10 large city tiles the map is stretched almost 1km. So the mackay map is actually 32.76km but only showing 32km of terrain.

take it easy

Excellent update!  I'm really looking forward to putting a few of those SFBT lots to use in my region!  And those new suburban homes look excellent!  Can't wait to get them in my region! 

Thanks for the links as well!

Nice pics Androman

Nice to see those ITC suburban houses actually in the game.

Guess I've been absent for a while, but that pic of the rail and road bridges deserved a comment. Typical Aussie layout. Roads and rail taking different routes and crossing each other on a regular basis (and in a lot of cases without rhyme or reason  ). Very nice indeed 

And everything else is looking great as well. Looking good Adrian.

Fantastic rural area!! Nice update!!! 

[Nardo69]

Another nice rural MD. I like that you left so many spaces open; I tend to fill them wit forrests. Good works with the RRP paths. The railway line(s) look good so far but I haven't seen any RR stations yet.

The airport - is an airport.

Take care!

Well guys, I'm sorry it's been a while since you've heard from me, I've been wrapped up in Joel and my 737 Project over at SCAG... So, I'll have a full update shortly, but for now I've got a region shot... But, before that:

Replies

Driftmaster07 ~ Thanks, my friend!

ecoba ~ Thank you for your interest... I quite liked the bridges myself... I have that region shot for you today.

Bobbi ~ Thank you... Page 10... quite exciting!

kwakelaar ~ Thank you, my friend... Those are actually Mangroves, they look unusual from a distance... they were made by Goldiva and available on the STEX.

dobdriver ~ That's interesting... SC4's scale isn't that realistic anyway... don't worry about it, you're map is perfect as it is 

Battlecat ~ Thank you, my friend! I agree, the SFBT and ITC sets are fantastic... As I said, the Suburban Set will revolutionise suburbs!

Luke09 ~ Thank you, Luke.

sumwonyuno ~ Yes, they are great.

tooheys ~  Thank you... and yes, our Roads and Rail cross for no actual reason... Thank you for the comment, Dave!

Tomas Neto ~ Thank you! I enjoy doing Rural Areas 

Nardo69 ~ Thank you Nardo, I love you're forrests, they look fantastic in your settings, but they wouldn't suit mine... I'll have a bit of Train Station  action soon... there's only 3 stations in Mackay anyway 


The Locales of which I've shown so far are shown here... you may notice the lack of Airport, as I had to demolish that because I put it in the wrong tile 

I admit that the map is a bit of a mess right now, but I'll have it completed in due time.

Now, y'all have a Merry Christmas if I don't get an update in before that!

Havva good one,
Adrian.

Wow, Adrian, that's one spiffy region view!

The cities and the farms are looking really cool from above. One thing though? How did you open the map file in TerraFormer (Mapper) if it's a greyscale?

Adrian,

Looks very umm, realistic! 

This is growing into a superb re-creation

take it easy

[sumwonyuno]

Sad to hear the airport was in the wrong place. 

At least the updated region view is something to marvel at. 

[Nanami]

Nice region view.

[warconstruct]

[Bobbi]

Nice regional map

[Battlecat]

Very nice looking regional map.  It's nice to see how all these developments are distributed. 

[djvandrake]

Great region map.  Gives a nice sense of scale to your works.
