Right click this: (in his post) and select open in new tab or something like that to view them. I can't see them either unless I do that.

Can't see the pic neither....
what's this with *right clicking this* ? What is *this*?
To me it looks like he never attached a picture......

He did link to pictures, but the site doesn't allow hotlinking.
If you Quote the post, you can see the URLs, just don't post it

very interesting..floating RR

That has been shown before, maybe some 5 or more years ago. (Can't remember where) Glad though that you brought it up again, I personally have completely forgotten about this.
I remember that we can do this with every transportation means, such as highways, roads, rails, .....hm.....wonder if it is possible with NAM....?

Not that it is something spectacular, but, well......it's something different.

Let's see if anyone can remember THIS oddity...

http://g-do-29--anagram.deviantart.com/art/Water-FAIL-161813328

Of all the water plops I tried, I believe Peg's is the only one that's non-combustible...

Edmonton Water Plop and Jeronij's water plop ARE combustible.

EDIT: There was actually another one... I attempted to make a train crash into itself... (Technically it's the El Train)

(I posted these all on deviantART before ever knowing about this thread OR become active in the SC4D Community...)

I was getting dizzy just looking at the train..lol

The water has caught fire!? Congratulations, hell just froze over

dahemac · February 28, 2011, 08:41:01 AM

How smart is this?

MandelSoft · February 28, 2011, 10:30:07 AM

^^ Very smart! They were expecting high sales

@ dahemac: Just wondering, but are you playing SimCity on a Mac?

dahemac · February 28, 2011, 05:29:23 PM

Yes, playing on a mac. Does that explain the thin black lines on all the lots? lol

I could play under Windows, however I am using bootcamp and need to be able to get at MacOS apps all the time.

Actually, yes. Yes it does.

I personally can't stand it. It's a horrible bug in the game.

You know, you could always use Virtual Box. It's like Bootcamp, but you don't have to restart to switch back and forth between Mac and Windows. I personally use it myself and I love it. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

dahemac · February 28, 2011, 08:48:15 PM

So, if I use Virtual Box, what is the best version of Windows to operate SC4 under? I have XP.

xp works fine under vbox

dahemac · March 01, 2011, 02:34:01 PM

This should prolly move to the the Mac Help section, however how much drive space and how much ram should I allot to the VM for Windows XP and SC4?
