Title: Dragon Islands Cities
Post by: Skimbo on June 06, 2010, 10:34:49 AM
Hello and welcome to my MD "Dragon Islands Cities"


As some of you may have noticed this MD exists for a few weeks on some other sites. So the first entries will quickly follow one another until the MD has reached it's actual status.


After a long time of playing Cities XL I've returned to SC4.

The biggest city of the region at the moment is Shì de lónghú. My first (more or less) asian styled city.

You can reach the city via car or the completely new Shinkansen line:

The public transportation system of the city uses a huge light rail system:

At the moment there are too many western styled buildings around central station. So I have to rebuild this district. The first step was the construction of this nice temple:

That's the new stadium of Shì de lónghú:

This is one of the rail lines of the city, the only one in the city center that is on ground level:

The Downtown golf club is the most exclusive location at the city and the best golf club of the region...... well, they do not say that it's the only one at the moment.

That's the financial district, in the background you can see the golf club again...

The light rail system connects the suburbs with the downtown. It was essential to build a public transport system there otherwhise there would be a big traffic jam at downtown.

Thank you, Thomas, your comment gives me a lot of motivation :)

2nd Entry:

Hello and welcome to the secound entry of this CJ.

Shì de lónghú expanded a lot, especially to the northwest of it's area.

Peaceful and wealthy neighbourhoods developed next to the small rail line along the coast.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg263.imageshack.us%2Fimg263%2F8217%2Fkleinerbahnhof2.jpg&hash=4fe22bd609d4d2ef6d024d5f2044cb86e709b3cb)

Every fifeteen minutes you can enter a regio runner into direction central station of the new line "S3"

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg717.imageshack.us%2Fimg717%2F453%2Fkleinerbahnhof.jpg&hash=e6ba2d98def57caa2eace8f9df55d14a43e45453)

A new university has been buildt, so the people of Shì de lónghú do not have to take the train and study somewhere elles anymore.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg693.imageshack.us%2Fimg693%2F7178%2Fcampusm.jpg&hash=632662f418512c529ffe3cabe52663d391500571)

And the city finally has had enough cash to finance an very beautyful and big temple for it's citizens. It was inspired by an pagode buildt back in the 16th century:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg88.imageshack.us%2Fimg88%2F8672%2Fnewtemple.jpg&hash=35147d11f8f50e81be4dd1894e259efd57cd1d44)

That's the clubhouse of the new Shì de lónghú Golf&country club. It's even reacable by tram, but most of the club members use teir own luxourious cars or their private golf cart.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg64.imageshack.us%2Fimg64%2F4971%2Fgolfclub.jpg&hash=496388730aff5a7bc7194c7296395a69ebe772c8)

Because there was too less space to build a driveing range, practiceing can be done on one of the 20 golf simulators in the cellar of the clubhouse.
The course has got nine holes and builds an cycle around an very luxurious neighbourhood (Where you can find the mayor's home as well).

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg199.imageshack.us%2Fimg199%2F5375%2Fbrgermeistervillaamclub.jpg&hash=6dea8aa12a123231ac09d0955d1470a6e00f2b59)

Small villas along the golf holes can be found as well:

And here you can see an overview over the whole course:

Mayor Skimbo is not very happy with his first round on the new "Diamond Course" As long as you are a golfer you will know why:
His Scorecard:

His comment to the new course after the round in the clubhouse:

" Well, there are more bunkers, trees and out of bounds markings than blades of grass, But it's absolutely beautyful."

Let's conclude this entry with three beautyful night pics of the city:

Downtown:

Hi Skmbo,
very nice beginning of your MD. I especially like the layout of the region (almost looks like a Dragon, doesn't it). Your nightshots have always been one of my favorites and so far you've even spared me with the highrises.
Keep up the good work.  :-\

 Interesting start.
I would like to make two suggestions....first find a side walk modd.  I personelly don't like to see the red sidewalks or to see them change from one color to another to another through out a picture.  Maybe you should try jeronij's found HERE. (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=115)Secondly would be to turn off the grid when taking pictures.  Other than that very good start.

@seminole_fan93 , Myself.or.? , sim-al2 : Thank you for the positive words :)

@rooker1 : As sim-al2 said I'm using Jeronij's sidewalk mod.

And the grid... good idea but I often simply forget to turn it off after working with it. &mmm

Hello and welcome to the third part of my journal.

Today I want to show you the further development of my city Shì de lónghú.
The city grew and the public transport network did it too, here is one of the new rail stations of the new district:

The big temple you can see in one edge of the last picture is one of the new main attractions of the city. It has been buildt to offer people a place of peace in the middle of the stressful city.....

Looks really nice! I also liked the golf course and green spaces in general. Cool transportation networks too, I always enjoy nice railroads. Cool you incorporated RHW but it looks a little "wrinkly" in that first shot where is goes over the tunnels.

Very nice as always. The Temples are adding just the bit of atmosphere, but I would have liked to see the 'asian' theme continue into the suburbs. Right now they could basically be in any part of the world. One thing that stands out in your pics though is your good use of public transport networks.

Anyway, since nobody seems to have noticed it, I just start a little game here. It's called "Spot the Dragon". (It's green,it's cute and I love it :))

@RickD: Thank you :)

@noahclem: The "wrinkly" look of the rhw is easy to explain: I ran out of space so I had to find a very, very compact sollution ::)

@Myself.or.?: I am trying to give them a moe asian look in the future(At the moment I use somy's houses to build my suburbs, Tokyo styled). And finally someone noticed one of the dragons here too. ;D

Entry 6

Welcome to the sixth part of this journal, the final update for Shì de Lónghú will of course not be the last one. The city just ran out of space to build on....

Today I've got some nice screenshots where you can see overviews over the whole city and some motives I liked.

Let's begin with the pictures of the.... hm.... Urban canyons?

So, that's enough ;D

The new rail lines are still on ground level but they haven't got railroad crossings, only over and underpasses:

Another time no comments :(

But I wil continue.

Here are the updates 7, 8 and 9 to keep my MD up to date.

Update 7


Today I will show you some parts of the countryside at the district of the little and not finished city Lóng dàqiáo.

The ferry port isn't finished yet so there will not be a pic of it in this update.
The first road you have to use after you arrived with one of the ferrys is the coast road B20:
You can see some holiday homes from the people of Lónghú along the road....

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg294.imageshack.us%2Fimg294%2F9607%2Fentlangderkste.jpg&hash=7c6f8a56a69aa3a363ec2e5118a0bc01b581925b)

After a while the road leaves the coastline to cut of f one of the spines of the dragon island. Now it comes into a flat region, rice fields are soon on both sides of the road and the little traffic allows a very fast travelling.

It is not recommended to drive the allowed 140 km/h (87 mph) everywhere, the road often has narrow curves.

The first village, new holyday homes have been buildt in the center of some old houses.

Very nice as usual and still improving  &apls.
Just one thing disturbs me. IMO replacing the dead-end roads with cul-de-sacs would be better.

Other thought; the dragon is waiting for a  shinkansen? May be a hungry dragon...

Nice job there! I like it that you're theming it on Asian cities. I was born in the Philippines where they have many rice paddies. This really reminds me of that. Also, at first I thought the canals for the farms was the highway!

@Myself.or? : It would wait very long for the next JR500 because this part of the line is still under construction... I think it focuses something elles next to the ground...  Cul de sacs are a nice idea, I may install it (When updateing my plugins folder next time)

@daryl7478 : Really? wow, I've got to search for a nice picture of the phillipines then :) (Maybe it inspires me)

@louistsw : Tank you :)

Update eleven

Heyho and welcome to the eleventh update of my journal. Today I will introduce you my secound bigger city of the region, It's called Lòng Chèng. The city is located on the dragon's head. But because only parts are finished you will only see some detailed pictures of some streets.

The first place I'm going to show you is the central station and some buildings around it.

Every half an hour A JR500 (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/Shinkansen_S500_kyoutei.jpg) arrives from or departures to Longhù. And every ten minutes a commuter train of the local "Dragera rail cooperation" headds to the airport, to Dà Nàng or along the dragoneye boulevard. (They are using Tokyu 5050 (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Tokyu-5050-2.jpg/800px-Tokyu-5050-2.jpg)) as their main transport vehicles.

This station is one od the ends of the main light rail line:

A nice building along the main rail line...

This is one of the smaller transfer stations, it's kinda hideing behind the buildings around it. A train to Dà Nàng just arrived at this moment.

In my opinion this is one of the most beautyful intersections of the city:

And the final pic of today shows a Tokyu5050 driveing along the Dragoneye Boulevard

Heyho and welcome to the 13th part of my MD.

Today I'm in favor to make something unusal for my MD: Today's pictures are following a line of the Lòng Chèng rapid transit network. The rapid transit line  (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg64.imageshack.us%2Fimg64%2F5050%2Funbenanntix.png&hash=d7f46aae932d12e6f2ce892dc22bdf86c589d6ca)  starts at the core of the city and leads to the southern suburbs.

It leads from Chēzhàn mǎtóu to Zài qiúchǎng shàngcūn and has only five stations between them

The names of the stations are on the pictures but the chineese is not really perfect and has some misstakes ::)

The rolling stock is as usual for Lòng Chèng a special version of the japanseese Tokyu 5050 Series in 3,4,5 or 6 car trains.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg714.imageshack.us%2Fimg714%2F276%2F001mmt.jpg&hash=5670e4139f9b75b0a07f813b31f1c31092153091)

This luxury restaurant is located in the downtown, Every important guest of the city is invited to have his/her diner there. The reasons are a very good view over the city and a creative and professional cook. The picture was taken after 1 am, so please don't wonder why it's so empty....

Wow, those are some great updates! I especially love your work with the residential houses, and the way you have done them alongside the water is truly beautiful.

Your night shots are also a sight to behold - overall, this is fantastic work!

It is interesting to see such a "rural" coastline in such a big city. I had expected a fancy waterfront promenade there. But I get used to it and now I actually like the contrast. Especially in pic 3 with the brightly lit modern houses in front of the lake.
The station in the first pics is also very well done. I just think the four roundabouts are a bit much. I'd use regular intersections there but make the ring around the station as one way road so that it forms a large traffic light controlled roundabout around the station.

Update 16 "Commuter track"

Heyho and welcome to the sixteenth update of my MD Dragon Islands Cities :)

Do you remember the rail station of Shì dàotián? (Update 7) It's possible to see something more than just the usual XTER trains since last monday. The LCRT Cooperation (Lòng Chèng Rail Transit) stretched the line 2 until this station, part service but direct trains into the downtown and to Dà nàng. It's a reason for me to intreduce you to line 2.

Shì dàotián. A for the LCRT typical Tokyu 5050 series train is waiting fort the green light.

Update 18: "Backspin"

Over 70.000W§§§ citizens are liveing at Lòng Chèng, no wonder that there is a golf club too. But also alota W§§ citizens are enjoing golf as well.....
But they haven't got the default country club with it's chip&putt course, no, they've got an old 9-hole golf course from back in the colonial times. And  I'm going to show it to you today.

Btw: If anyone has questions about golf or specififc vocabulary: feel free to ask ;)

The clubhouse is a villa buildt in the colonial times, Some bunkers, holes and ponds have kept their original english nicknames as well. Some villas buildt back then sourround the Clubhouse too.
The cobblestones of the parking space are the same ones as a hunderd years ago. You can see that golf is a less rich-domained sport than in some other countries, A Lada or a Dacia next to some big german limousines ain't a unusual pic there.....

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fa.imageshack.us%2Fimg97%2F6084%2F1802k.jpg&hash=f9e677f3bf25cd80c2f26d7258d070471336c21d)

The outdoor range has been taken away from the club after the islands won the "great war" against the britans who had occupied the country for such a long time. Social buildings for the homeless people should have been buildt there, nothing happened. Today it's still an area where they harvest rice every autumn. The club is not allowed to buy this land back, no one knows why.

The old golf course is evil from the beginning. Here at this picture you can see the first hole (bottom) where there is water to the right and out of bounds to the left. The hole at the top is number nine with it's two fairwaybunkers (nicknamed: evil sisters). The water inbetween is called Kimra's lake.

Great updates and congratulations on OSITM.  &apls

At some places of the golf course I would have placed more weeds or some other plants from the RRP Pasture Flora-Set around the pond.

Where did you find the rocks you have placed in the water? Some look like Peg's rocks but some look different.

First I have to say a big thank you to the one who has nominated my MD for the OSITM, I'm very happy about it.

@tooheys: thanks a lot. I love transportation networks, so I try to build them as realistic as possible.

@nbvc:thank you :)

Okay, I will make a 2nd version of my golflots with more weeds around the water. I don't know if I want to use other sets than the PPond props for that because I may release them sometimes.....
Some of thoose rocks are the ones from Pegasus, the others are made by Heblem and can be found on ST  (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=24353)

@TheTeaCat: Thank you too :) Nice that you like it.

Update 19

Heyho and welcome to the nineteenth update of this MD. Today I will introduce you to LCRT line 1, connecting the industrial district of Dà Nàng  with the small suburban city Fengbào yánchéng.

Here we see the station Haigang, translated: seaport. The small industrial harbour of Dà Nàng is located to it's left (you may see some buildings of it) Due the single track it's not possible to provide a full service.

This is Dà Nàng gongyè station, every train that uses the left platform is able to move to Haigang, every train that uses the right platform is only able to change direction to Lòng Chèng again or to head into the small rolling stock depot at the end of the dual track....
Due the fact that a single track limits the number of trains that pass the next section it's only possible to provide a service every ten minutes during rush hour. Half of the rush hour trains do not head until this station.

This image shows a short train (only 5 wagons) between Dà Nàng gongyè and it's next stop Sha wo.

Sha wo is a small village along the tracks, it has been founded as a hometown for industrial workers during the colonial times.....

You may remember this section of the track from a former update focused on Dà nàng....

This picture of an extra long train headding north along the A2 must have been taken during rush hour, LCRT has already made most of the platforms longer but still needs to update some....

This image shows the station Dong Dà Nàng, from now on full service during the rush hour is provided too. During RH every second train ends up here, the two platforms have to be a temporary solution, if something goes wrong all trains are too late. But it's actually not the most critical point of the line 1.

This actually is the most critical point of the line, you might say okay, it's another about 560 meters long single tracked section.... I would be a liar if I would say that's not true. But here you've got to see another aspect: Here is full service provided during rush hour, that means every 2.5 minutes a train from the opposite direction! Than there also exists a railroad crossing, open for about a minute after the last train has passed it.

Short after passing the single track section the trains pass the city boarder and reach Lóng shanlù. It's about 300 meters walking distance to a station of the line U1, too far to be told intercharge station...

Zhongyang chezhàn, you might already know this station, here the line 1 meets the lines 2 (Update16) and the line 6(which will follow the line 1 for a couple of stations). Exchange to the line U2 and the interregional Shinkansen line is provided as well. During the rush hour each one of the two platforms has to handle a busy train every 2,5 minutes...

Here you can see the station Zhuyào dàolù, it's more like a stressless stop than a busy station(Asian definition of stressless) It's located along the 6 laned main road, and named after it.

Update 20:Fengbào yánchéng&zoo

Heyho and welcome to the twentieth update of my MD Dragon Islands.

Today I want to show you a couple of pictures of the suburban "city" Fengbào yánchéng and it's sourrundings.

The first pictures show the local waterfront promenate around 23PM. A lot of citizens of Lòng Chèng come here. At daytime mostly families to eat some ice cream or take a small tour with a glass bottom boat out to the "Stormy rock" and it's Shipwreck after spending some time in the zoo. At nighttime two cinemas and a cabaret theatre offer their services.

Central promenade:

Now I'm going to show you pics of the other two main attractions of the small city.
First the city zoo. It opened shortly after the independence of the country and is the only zoo around Lòng Chèng.

Second "the rock". Te buildings that are build on the halve island are protected by the heavy, wavebreaking rocks of this area. Sadly the shipwreck is not visible due reflections of the blue sky....
The ship was called "Janessa" and was a war frigate that sank shortly before the independence war began during a heavy storm after colliding with "the rock".

This temple is located to the east of Fengbào yánchéng, half way to Chéngshì bàndao. It's dedicated to some dragon spirits, like most of the temples in this region....

As you can see Lòng Chèng has got a lot of highrises far away from downtown, not the most beautiful city layout :D The suburbs to the north and east are still under development.

Superb stuff.  That's a great looking waterfront with great shoreline details.  I like the details around your rice fields as well.

In case I haven't mentioned it, I love the shape of those islands.

Skimbo, a couple of great updates you have here. The first following the train line is great, some very nice images there. No.2 is my fave. It's also good to see you showing the patience to wait for those trains to appear before taking the shot, sometimes they appear on a regular basis, other times you have to wait (and wait, and wait......)

The latest update is a  nice contrast to the previous. The shorelines are well done and the rice fields in amongst the houses look good. Looking at the region view, that certainly is a challenge but you are working with it well.

Keep up the great work  &apls &apls

Replies:

@RickD: Thank you, it actually was a misstake but I've found it too funny to bulldooze it ;D

@Bobbi: Long story....  I try to keep it short:
Dragon Islands is a state that has 3 major population groups: about 44% chineese, 42% japaneese, 12% korean and 2% from other cultures. Chineese is because of the political history (next to english) the secound "official" language that's why all the names of stations, plazas etc. are written in ther chineese version. But the japaneese continue speaking their language as well, so do the koreans. Japaneese is shortly before becomming the third official language of the country, it already replaced french or latin as the third language to learn in schools (Next to english and chineese....) and state employees who do not already speak Japaneese have to learn it.

@Battlecat: Thank you :)

@kodlovag: thank you :) It's the colour of rice shortly before the harvest.... and rice was the first "gold" of theese islands....


Update 22:

Heyho and welcome to the twentysecound update of my MD Dragon Islands, today I'm going to show you some motives from along the LCRT line 4.

Some of you might remember the station Chēzhàn mǎtóu that's located in the southern downtown. Here the trains of line 4 start their rides down to the airport in the far west of the city.
1
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fa.imageshack.us%2Fimg185%2F4195%2Fu2201.jpg&hash=94ddca4e107b6942031f33a8fcb28b2145c8d777)

This time we won't follow the tracks to the south like we did in update 13, because line 4 turns right into the city. Unfourtionally we can only see some automata of line 5 (the one on the bridge) and line 3.

The second station of the line 4 is called Yín jiē and shared wih the lines 5 and 6.  The station Yín jiē is named after the road that passes beneath it. The station is used a lot around 8:30 and between 17:00 and 18:00, when the employees who work in the offices around it have finished their work or will start it soon.

The next station on the way to the airport is Fènghuáng jiē (Phoenix road, named after this amazeing birds....) It's still shared with the lines 5 and 6.

Another already known station: Sìmiào (It's the last already intreduced station for this update, I promise :P ) Line 6 has already left to the north (direction Dà Nàng) and line 4 has to share the plattforms with the lines 1 and 5.

This is the station Tǐyùchǎng "Stadium" (The stadium is still one block away but it's the nearest rail station to it and so it's called stadium)
In earlier times of the city development it was planned to make this a mayor station, line 1 ended here for a long time, so did Line 5, the planned line 7 down to Chéngshì bàndǎo has never been realised. So it's just a stop with four platforms and much too much capacity.

Here we've got the last intercarge station on our way to the airport, it's located next to and named after Shuǐxī chēdào. Transfer to the line U3 is provided as well as to some minor important bus lines. It's also located only 300 meters away of the clubhouse of the Lòng Chèng Golfclub (U18, I think)....

Heyho and welcome to the twentythird update of my MD dragon Islands.

Today I'm going to show you some pictures of the (small) airport of Lòng Chèng.

Pilots do not like this airport, it's difficult to land there because of the very short runway and a lot of wind. A 707 is the absolute maximum, anything larger can't land.
It also can be very dangerous if a plane does not land exactly on the marked points, water and rocks are very close to both ends of the runway.

Okay, let's show some pics.

The first thing a passenger sees is the main building of the airport, a 2 story flat roofed building with a very functional design.

The parking garages are located to the south of the small airport.

Some helipads provide the possibility of a very fast transfer in direction downtown.

A parking lot for planes provides a small space for necessary repairs, but there actually ain't hangars for huge planes, too less space....
But some smaller hangars for private plains do exist.

Sadly none.... On other sites I've got the feedback that the runway is much too short, I will change this by building a bigger airport in the norhwest of the city.

Update 24:

Today, As a last OSITM update in august 2010 I'm going to show you two city mosaiques, one at daytime, one at nighttime. Both stretch from the northwest to the southeast.

Enjoy the mosaiques :D !

M1:

this mosaique ranges from Zhōngyāng chēzhàn to Shuǐjīng gōngyuán (2 stations, the first one from LCRT, the secound one from LCU)

Sadly it was a busy weekend, otherwise I would have caught your last post!  The airport looks great, but I agree that the runway is a touch on the short side.  The mosaic looks excellent, that's a great looking urban core.

Update 25 "Mind the Gap"

Heyho and welcome to the twentyfith update of my MD Dragon Islands. Today I'm going to show you pictures of various places around Lòng Chèng that are part of the rail transit system.

First some pics along the line U3 Due it is not a "complete" rail line (A tram line which has been layed on everlated tracks during the expansion of the city) I do not want to make a "complete" update about it.

The first pic shows the station Huìsuo lù, located at the south end of the line.

Shortly after the station Shuixi chedào the line passes a double track rail that leads to the "big" LCRT train depot (Shown later in this update).

(Sorry if my english isn't correct sometimes, I wrote this at 0:20 AM)

Heyho and welcome to the twentysixth update of my MD Dragon Islans, Today you will see some pics and a route map od the TDR "C" line between Shì haiwan and Shì lóngwan. The "C" line is a minor important rail line, TDR uses two of it' three X-TER trains to provide a easy and (more or les) fast service to the indutrial areas and between some small cities and villages. It crose the main line two times and the departure plans are syncronised with the main line express trains to provide an optimal service.

The first pic shows a X-TER train at plattform 1 of the rail station of Shì haiwan. The line will be lenghened to Shi dàotiàn as soon as the rail station of this city has been whidened to a four track station and the last olt STR piece of the main route has been replaced by a modern 2-track- sollution that allows 160km/h(100mp/h) instead of 100km/h(60mp/h)

The "new" Trans dragon rail has different route includeing tracks that allow 200km/h(125mp/h) and a long tunnel, shortens the travelling time about 20 minutes between Shì haiwan and Yán wan. The old track leads along the bay, meanwhile the "new" route crosses the dragon and dissappeares in the tunnel.

Now the line passes an area with absoluteley untouched nature, Places like this provide a conflict free coexistence with the dragons of the island because they've got space where noone disturbes them.

Another interesting journey along the rail lines. I really like this.  ;)
160 km/h, I didn't think the trains would go that fast through the city.

Update 27

Heyho and welcome to the twentyseventh update of my MD Dragon Islands, Today I will show you some pics of the villages and small cities located next to TDR C line, the "bigger" cities Shì haiwan and Yán Wan will get their own updates.

The first picture shows a small temple located a bit to the north of Zài cun miào.

That's the main part og Zài cun miào, The government tried like nearly everywhere in this region to make some cheap places to live, in this case for the workers of the industrial area of Shì haiwan.

The city has the luck to be at one of the few places in the south of the dragons where some beaches exist, just gravel, but that's enough.

Heyho and welcome to the twentieight update of my MD Dragon Islands, Today I will show you some pics of Yàn wan and it's next by sourroundings.

We'll start up with some pics that show the region in late spring, the trees already have there leaves and the rice is planted and begins to grow. At this time the entire region looks a bit strange, nearly every field is covered by water, sweet water of course, that allows the rice to grow.

Here we see a small land tounque and it's rice fields.....

Heyho and welcome to the thirtyth update of my MD Dragon Islands, but at thirst I want to say something:

Thank you all for your great support!

Today I will show you some pics of the first part of the TDRC main line, the one in between Lòng Chèng and shì Hàiwan. You might remember some places from the LCRT 2 line update or prior.

The route starts at Lòng Chèng, I couldn't resist to make a night pic...

Here we've got the terminus, no train wanted to appear so I took a pic without one...

We will follow this JR321 on it's way to Shì Haiwan, it's the 2:50AM overnight express to Shì Luna.

The train passes a lot of small stations like Xiaocun without stopping. (the train on the pic heads to the opposite direction, it's the 1:20 overnight expres from Shì Luna.)

Do you remember the rail station of Shì Daótiàn? It's the last time we will see it like it has been originally buildt, we actually see the last train that stops at the old station, The next day it will be closed for a 4-track-reuilding to serve as a ending station for TDRC C line and as a place where express trains can overtake normal ones....

As you might notice, the location of the station has changed, it's some meters to the south of it's old place, that's because of the new tracks needed for the four plattforms and the whidening of the radius of the curve you can see at the pic below.

Due the whidening of the tracks, more freight traffic is possible, TDRC uses this potential, of course.

First of all: Sorry that I did not write an udate for my CJ for such a long time but I got a new computer and I had to fight with SC4 a bit to get it running, but now it works again :)

@bat: Thank you :)

Update thirtythree:

Today I will give you some closer views of one of the three districts of Shì luna.

The big road that enters the city along this place is the end of A2, the road is switching over from a Motorway to a normal 4 laned city road.

This is the same part of this beach, only a bit more close to the city center. There are several ferry terminals along the coastline to provide an efficient and fast way to reach other places next to the water.

Heyho and welcome to the thirtysixth entry of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Sorry, Again that my updates got so rare at the last time but modding CXL and haveing some tests in school made it not very easy to find some time to play SC4.

We are at Shì Luna Rail station right now....

Today we are going to follow a train along it's 1:30 hrs ride from Shì Lùna to shì Shuixi. The vehicle is owned by Hydra rail Corp(HR) their colours are wite and blue.

But they've provided something more special for our ride than their usual 1435mm gauge version of E257 series. They even took out of their museum. A Skinkansen 0 series train.

And now we are on board, riding through the city... I know, you already know this motive but I just like it...

Heyho and welcome to the thirtyseventh update of y CJ Dragon Islands.

This update will be seperated into two parts, the first one will accompany a tram line through the city, the second one will show you some pictures of Xinchéng qu "New City" one of the main districts of Shì Shuixi.


I think you remember the central station from the last update. We will follow the tramline 1 on it's way to President park (Zongtong gongyuán) at Land's end.

A small question: Wha does our JR0?
Some tecnical problems at 5 wagons forced me to send it to repair, this place is located at the other end of West DI rail.
So it will take us a couple of updates to reach it.

At least it's not alone.... A lot of HSR trains wait there for repair or service...

Heyho and welcome to the thirtyeight update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Today I'm going to show you one of the two Shuixi rapid transit lines, the less frequented one. Line B is a cycle line running through 6 stations on the island, a huge piece of single track limitats the service to two similar operateing trains, but there is no need for more anyways because the line serves mostly suburbian only...

Let's start with the cycle shortly after Zhōngyāng chēzhàn.

Heyho and welcome to the thirtyninth update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Today we will take a ride on SRT line A from Shiguan jiē to Shì zài lóng yàn. SRT line A serves only eight stations, six at Shì Shuixì and two at Shì zài lóng yàn. The distance between the sixth and seventh station is very long.

That's one of the two small british styled terminal stations, it's architecture is the same as the one of it's "twin" at Shì zài lóng yàn. Shiguan jiē can be translated as "Embassy road" The British embassy is the only thing left from colonial times, it's still the same building as it was back then and the road is called after it.

Just beautiful railroads  :o  The coastal routes are my favorite. You do a really good job with your transportation networks in general. What did you do to the sides of that OWR-3 in the previous update in the picture labeled "Dà ālì"? Looks great whatever it is. I'll let you know if I can figure out what the deal is with bridge shadows that I mentioned earlier...

Heyho and welcome to the fourtyfirst update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Too much dense citiy pics in the last updates, time for some countryside. Today we will follow a small line that connects two mit sized towns with one another, the twentyfive minutes train trip starts at Ying Yà and leads us to the already known station of Shí zai lóng yàn.

Ying Yà, here we go....

The city has had it's best time years ago when DI still was a cheap land to produce minor quality products for western concerns, things like cloths, cheap steel, plastic....

After the express train to shì shuixì stopped at the station our small train fills with some people, mostly workers that come from the industrial areas near the airport to the north.

12:00, we leave the station.

Our first stop is a small station that does not even have an over or underpass for passengers, it needs to be renovated but the city has no money to doo so.

This MD deserves all the honors received and more.  Fantastic work, my friend!  In particular, it is great to see those STR lines snaking through both city and countryside.  The only thing missing in those shots of trains rolling through those wide curves is superelevation, and that's clearly beyond anyone's capabilities to add.

A keeper, that's for sure.  Great work!

Heyho and welcome to the fourtysecond update of my CJDragon Islands, Today I will show you a Place of Dragon Islands I really like.

But first, we have to go there. By car, for once.

My car is that cobalt blue one marked with the arrow, Jump in! I'm heading out of Jiā xiàn (佳县) a small but international town.

But first we have to cross one of the local tracks. In earlier days this was the end of a main route, today it's only a local route taken by a railtaxi that connects the town with it's small industrial area.

There is a rail depot next to the city, some of you might remember it. A couple of JR 300 and CRH1 are parking there.... It's also the place where a lot of HSR trains get repaired and serviced.

Bt we're heading on towards north, more or less, at least. First a long piece to the east, than some meters to the north, than about a kilometer west again and then, finally, to the north.... The disadvantage of mountains.

Now we're entering the longest straight piece of rail in DI... until now. It's 9,5 kilometers of straight track. Speed is limited to 160km/h(100mp/h) because of the tunnels and small stops along the track. The road running along is still A3 in it's cheap buildt apperience, no need for a complete motorway over here.

Two of the runway endings, 18R is only 1200 meters long while 18L provides 2400 meters of fresh asphalt. Runway 18L has already a tragic history after beeing open for one month only, two incidents. The first one happened before the runway got it's concrete, A pilot of a freight machine mistook it for the small and short runway of the only 2.4 kilometers to the north positioned old airport of Lòngchéng and landed on the gravel strip, the boeing machine got out of control and the whole plane crashed into some parking trucks. The second incident was an emergency landing that nearly lead to a runway incursion.

Heyho and welcome to the fourtyfith update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Today another interrouption on my round around DI because I wanted to make something "new".

Today I will show you a couple of pics of a small rail line located on an island to the northeast of Shì Luna. Dàzhú rail Cooperation has had big financial troubles in it's past but for already two years the line does not even need support by the state anymore.

Two of the three refurbished Kiha31 (New modern looking front, new doors etc.) that represent the whole rolling stock in frequent use of the rail cooperation. This pair makes it's way to the main station of Dàzhú, they transfer some workers to their ferry, also some rail fans today.

Fans and fanatics of steam locomotives solved the financial troubles, more and more steam locomotives are carried to the island for some fan rides.

And we will follow one of theese trains buildt in a age where the term  particulate filter did not exist :D

The old engine is carried out of the depot long before the first passengers arrive...

@peter007: That's a selfmade skin ;)
@Terring: Due it's a tourist service: no. The "normal" rail traffic uses diesel trains like the one shown at the first pic of the last update.
@nbvc: Thank you :)
@marsh: Thanks a lot for your nice comment!
@noahclem: the programms used for normal region screenshots do not work correctly because some cities use chineese letters in their names so they appear as black spots on theese region screens. But okay, I look if I can puzzle a region view from screenshots together sometimes :)

U47 - "Around Dàzhú"

This update will be the first of three smaller updates due I have not got the time to play SC4 that much in the last time. Due I don't want to shorten the quality of the oichs I have to shorten their quantity.

Today we will take a closer look onto the city Dàzhú and it's sourroundings.

The small city itself is located on the northern part of a small island in the east of the region Dragon Islands. The town has a small industrial area (Some fish industry and some chemical industry) most of the people wort in a big industrial area across the waters.

I like this place, it's located at the end of the half island that does protect the habour very well.

Now we're gonna follow one of the two roads that lead out of the small town. It leads through a small valley into a deep forest.

Hello Skimbo

I enjoyed looking at your pictures. Especially rural shots 7 & 8. The rice fields, road, nearby homes all went together well and look very natural. I also l like your shore line pictures and the dark color rocks ... don't think I've noticed black rocks before today ...  ???   or maybe I just need to pay more attention   :D  At least it was your shore line that grabbed my attention.

U52 - Shì Yan Greenhill

Heyho and welcome to the fifthysecond update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Today I'm going to show you the Gelin Xi er(greenhill) district of Shì Yan. It's located to the west and southwest of the Central&Temples district and - as the name says - mostly located on a hill.

But steep roads or the need for terraces, as shown here do not prevent the city from growing.

The hill is cind of a barrier for the traffic, it has to go around it. This leads to a jammy situartion.

Heyho and welcome to the fiftysixth update of my CJ Dragon islands.

Today we will visit the Saphira district of Shì Yan. This district is located at the western end of the city and is splitted into 1/3 high dense residential area, 1/3 sports park and 1/3 hi-tec park.

Let's start at a point you already know, the social housing projects near Ao ke lù station.
01

The western end of the residential area presents itself a bit wealthier than the eastern end.
02

But all of this area is dominated by two orange-red towers at the waterside.

The area to the west and south of the highrises gave this district it's name. From 1900 onward a big jevellery manufacture doinated all the area along the coast. The main products whas jevellery with thoose nice saphires in their wounderful colors, when it burnt down and went bankrupt in 1986, it left nearly 13.000 workers without a job and a big unused area.

In the late 1990s the city government nominated this area as one of the possible places for a new supersports center and won this project.
The project contained the renovation of the old baseball stadium shown in the next picture....

Heyho and welcome to the fiftyseventh update of my CJ Dragon Islands. Today we're going to take a trainride again. We're going to take the Coastal limited from Shì Yan to Hong Sí.

Shì Yan, 10:35PM. We and some other passengers are waiting for the DI-East service 0942 on plattform 5 of Shì Yan central station. The train will be pretty crowded today due the DISC tracks are blocked for very important works on a bridge. Service 0947 is a paralelle running regional rail service and builds together with the special services 5047 and 5048 the replacement for this late evening hour's HSR trains between Lònghú and Hong Sì airport.
The normal 4-car-EMU got extended by one normal and one motor carriage to increase the capacity.
We will leave the train again at Hòng sì while it will continue it's service to the airport and will arrive after a few more stops at Shì Fenghuang.

Heyho and welcome to the fiftyninth update of my CJ Dragon Islands.
Today I'm going to show you the Southbeach district of Shì Yan.

South beach is another one of the highrise districts around the bay of Shì Yan.

Let's start at the northwestern end of the district...
01

The bridge over the narrow bay entry is a very important connection to the west and the western ciy center. Rubin Boulevard is running over it, as usual very jammy in the rush hour.

The official "Southbeach" turned slowly from a sandy beach area to it's today's apperience.

That's the place I like most of this area. Some buildings squeezed on a tiny flat area between the mountains and the sea.

:D I certainly did. I really like the picture you call "double cross border mosaic" ... I mean - I must have sat in my chair admiring that one shot for at least two minutes. Very inspiring. I only wish I could do things like that. Glad you can.

Thank you for sharing.

U61 Red dragon limited

Heyho and welcome to the sixtyfirst update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Today we're going to take a ride on the "Red Dragon Limited Express" on a sunday afternoon.

The Red Dragon Limited will take us from Shì Yán to Lònghú.

Let's start up at Shì Yán station where we will take the tracks to the west, this time. The RDLimited uses a fictional asian styled train, so no special series this time. Red wagon ends/Red roof/White sides/Yellow doors is the livery of DINorthern Express trains. (Except shinkansen)

U62 Yuki Shì

Heya and welcome to the sixtysecond update of my CJ Dragon Islands.

Today I'm going to show you some pictures of Yuki. This City is the Result of very uncontrolled growth, It hasn't got a central heavy rail passenger station, only a line that has got two stops in the southern suburban area of the city. All the main rail based commuter traffic is handled by Central&Yuki, Port&Industrial (Shì Yan metro) and Yuki line. Due to it's very late growth the city has had the time to install a motorway network in it's eastern and central area.

A typical neighbourhood in the central area, Appartment buildings next to comercial and industrial sites, Port&Industrial line crosses the pic at the bottom right corner

Heya and welcome to the sixtyseventh update of my CJ Dragon islands.

Sorry for the long break since the last update, I had some troubles with simcity and luckily a regular made backup. But a few areas near Nan Shi had to be rebuildt this took me some time....

So please enjoy the sceneries, some of them have been buildt some months ago, with much lower flora skills....

I really like those SOMY suburban residential lots you use. Did you relot some of them? I can tell they aren't all 1x4, unless....

EDiT:- Wait.... *looks closer* Oh! Perhaps I was mistaken. Either way, they look good. Especially with your use of MMPs.

I just love you're golf course set!  ;D  Still looking for a place suburban or rural enough to use them in Siilijoki and I'm just about there I think....

The rest of the update looks very nice as well. Your flora still looks very nice here even if you've advanced a bit since. I really like your "lonely road" too.

Post by: rooker1 on August 31, 2011, 07:43:44 AM
Another great update. 
One suggestion though.....scene 7, that road with the side walk missing can easily be fixed.  Drag any growable zone along the lenght of the missing section of sidewalk and than drag your cusor over the road, press Ctrl and release your mouse and just like magic there should be no zones produce but the sidewalk is no there.  This trick can also conduct electricity.


The dragon is in scene 3, bottom right corner.

more and more active here on SC4D i should also write my comments to Your wonderful MD here.
This over and under of the different railways is spectacular. I´m stunned again!  &apls &apls
And to see - like on the sixth picture - You´re a trainspotter in SC4 as well as in RL is actually funny!
Yeah, i love Your MD, either the towns or the rural areas everything is well done and has this very personal style.  :thumbsup:
And the recolour of the train looks a bit Austrian style - right?

U71: Roadtrip to Shuijing wan

Welcome to the seventyfirst update of my CJ Dragon Islands,

Today we're going to go by car..... Exploring the mainroad from Shì Zhenzu Wan to Shuijing wan(Crystal Bay) which came to DI by a border extension to the north. A 25 kilometer trip through already known but also many unknown places of DI.

General info about DI's road system:


Just some info about DI's roads:

Road numbers are given by region, for example the Dragon isle 2,2X,2XX etc. or the region of Zhenzu wan 5,5X,5XX etc. The route we will follow today is B5
The roadsystem is given med priority only, raillines are more important than a continuous traffic flow on the roads which leads to a very high number of level railroad crossings (Only A and B roads get over/underpasses) At Cities with light rail systems, trams are mostly given priority to road traffic as well which often leads to a pretty jammy innercity traffic during rush hour.
DI's Gas prices are high, they usually range between 50-57DyU per litre (1€ is about 35,7DyU= €1,40 to €1,60/litre) The high rate of rail usage can be explaines by looking at the fares, massiveley lowered by DI's government paying a lot for frequent and cheap rail services. A Single Ticket from Zhenzu Wan(Nan zhan sta) to Fenghuang(central) for example costs 60 DyU(1,68€), 2nd class DINorthern regional. The purcase of an annual ticket will lower the cost (when travelling 2 times each workday) to about 26 DyU(72€cent).
The quality of DI's road surfaces can be described as pretty normal, A and B roads will usually have a much better surface quality than C or D roads. Take always care about your speed, the few places with a lowered speed limit are often pretty dangerous. The road at scene 11 for example has it's speed limited to 70kph, pretty fast for that curve. So don't blindly trust the speed limit and drive only fast as long as the road is straight and the surface good.



Roadtype/Description/Limit City/Limit overland

Category A (Motorway)/4 or more lanes, crash barrier, hard shoulder,no level RR crossings or R intersections/X/160kph or lower
Category B (State route)/2,3,4 lanes, no Crash barrier, sometimes hard shoulder, mostly no level RR crossings, usually level R intersections/50kph/140kph or lower
Category C (Local important rd.)/2 lanes, no hard shoulder, nearly always level RR crossings/50kph/100kph or lower
Category D (other)/normal side rd/50kph or lower/100kph or lower


Okay, that's enough facts xD

Enjoy the roadtrip (taken on a Sunday, of course)

@Dantes: Thank you, and good luck for finding it again!
@kbieniu7: Thank you, the limits are pretty high, yes. But the people know that it's not possible to drive that fast everywhere so they are pretty careful.

those night pics are beautiful  &apls

..and i've found both of the rice paddies, even the older set!
it's still linked here in SCdevotion:
http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=473.0
"nippon denen"
so thanks fot your help anyway  ;D

uh, seems like i still need your help instead.
about a year ago i started playing again SC4 after a forced hiatus of some years due to PC's problems; this summer i've became a bit dissatisfied with the results, so inspired by your MD i've decided to try again with a strange mixed western/asian styled city and i began to search some custom content; i found nearly everithing i was looking for but i still lacking in transport networks, precisely the stations that can be afound evereywhere on your marvelous rail lines, those four are some of the missing ones:

(i've found most of the oters, some of them unfortunately cannot be downloaded anymore because the sites that hosted them are down.. :()   

and finally, i saw that you have a mod that facelifted the appearance of light elevated rail but i cant's find it... all that i found is the "shikansen mod" developed by Moonlight but is for monorail (and i already have the BTM and the HSR so i don't need that one)


i know it's quite a huge request sorry, thanks in advance for your patience :)

here.
click on "nippon denen.zip"
one thing tough, they are seasonal lots so they will appear just as a green space when you plop them, they will change automatically after a couple of months (game time obviously).
once installed you'll find the whole set in the park menu, except for the start/end of the irrigation ditch wich comes in the landmark section (don't know why).

now, enough with those ricefield, they'll distract everybody from the main topic here, Skimbo's updates; and this is bad, very bad  ;D

Nice work on that airport, skimbo! It seems well made and the disposition of the terminals and hangars is great. Specially nice job on the area around it, the two story parking near the rice field is a nice touch.

nice job, i like how the airport is surrounded by ricefields, and huge amount of ploppable grass here, you must have spent hours putting that green layer over every inch of surface wich is not concrete  :D

It's good and all, but I'm kinda disappointed. I might've been expecting too much. Is this the central regional airport? Or is it a smaller commuter airport? Either way, keep going!

@SCWTC4: well, I just lotted the grass on the airport grass fillers.....
@bat: Thank you!
@Risu: There are several mid sized ones like this but no really big airport.... Distances of inner DI are short (And HSR connected) so there are mostly connections to the big airports outside DI.



@Drago in U75: None, they keep them away from airports. (As I said in the text aboth the pics ;) )


U76: The Reefs of Gu Miaò


Heya and welcome to the seventysixth update of my CJ Dragon Islands....


Today just take a boat and follow me out to the reefs of Gu Miaò, located a few kilometers south of Shi Zhenzu Wàn. And don't forget your snorkel :D

@Drago in U76: Pic03


U77: Fenghuang GC


Heya and welcome to the seventyseventh update of my CJ Dragon Islands....

Today we're going to have a look at the (in DI pretty famous) Fenghuang GC, unless it's name it's (luckily) located at Gu Miaò. (Fenghuang is a neighbouring city and I'm rebuilding it in the moment because I lost it)

You might notice very different cinds of coast design, depending on the 'evolution step' in which they where buildt.

Ah... I wish i could make golf course that beautiful... nice job Skimbo. I really liked this update, but specially the last mosaic showing the golf course, the coast and the houses, it's very well done. I hope you don't mind if I get some inspiration from your MD.. :)

Take care,

Beautiful update Skimbo! You're truly a master of railroads  &apls  I love the way your rail stations are designed, combining two separate ones to look like one large one (title picture and the last picture). I've never really been a HSRP fan but seeing  DI makes me want to start using it ;)

To answer your comment, there was a pretty nice lighthouse released on the STEX not too long ago: http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/26403-bodie-island-lighthouse/ (http://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/26403-bodie-island-lighthouse/)

Once again, I'm completely blown away by the careful skill used in placing all the MMP stuff. That is a unique characteristic of this MD. It isn't easy, I can tell. Some may claim you use too much MMPs, but ya know what? They probably* couldn't make cities as beautiful as you can (and neither could I!)


*(If you can, and I'm mistaken, I recant my statement and apologise in advance.)

@Drago in U78: last pic left hand side.


U79:Fenghuang - Ying Chào


Heya and welcome to the seventyninth update of my CJ Dragon Islands....


Now that we've reached Fenghuang Shì I'm goig to show you some impressions of Ying Chào district. This area is located on an half island, sourrounded by cliffs on the district's north, west and southside. The most expansive part of the city might also be the most 'crazy' when it comes to citybuilding.... but the citizens got their own opinion about building highrises right on the edge of a cliff.....

But why did they get the idea about settling at such a place? Well the legend tells, as usual for DI, about a dragon who founded it.... But the reason might also be the pretty good position for a castle. When standing on a highrise's roof today (or on the edge of the cliffs in earlier time) you've got a great view of all the area around you. Gu miao to the east, Shì Haiwan to the northeast, Yuki and Shì Yan to the north, Liu shi to the northwest, Chóng de and Dazhu to the west, Shì Luna to the southwest and Huo Dao to the south......


The city currently has 'only' about 300.000 inhabitants, nevertheless a CBD like a big city. Many commuters use the HSR coming from Shì Yan, the DINorthern and Fenghuang Rail commuter services towards the city coming from places like Zhenzu wan, Shuijing wan and even up to Nan Shì. Of course there is also a motorway leading towards thoose many palces but parking in the city center is very expansive, P+R does only randomly exist.

Very interesting (and impressive) update Skimbo  &apls

Most importantly, the cliffside city concept is fairly new to me and is executed exceptionally well. The boulevard with twin OWR-3s and the nice median looks very nice. I found myself debating whether it would be better done that way or with separated halves of MAVE-6 and decided I like your way best. Truly nice pictures with unique detail and perspectives  :thumbsup:

Hi!

In the following picture: http://a.imageshack.us/img207/4758/014at.jpg , I was wondering how did you manage to install two train skins without being mixed together or having conflicts between those two mods in the game.

Also, I've been looking for the Tokyu 5050 series train skin but the website of the creator of this skin, APTX, has been shutdown and the link to this mod is no longer available. :( Do you know another link where I could download the Tokyu 5050 series train skin?

Thank you  :)

third night picture: Rollercoaster! :D

Anyway wonderful update. I quite liked the beach you've shown. May I ask for more views and perhaps a mini tutorial on how you made it ? Specialy, how it looks in the last Day view is superb.

I also liked the Shinkansen train depot, as well as the rice fields near the road tunnel.

My only though about the update concern the houses on the cliff. Maybe it would be better to destroy them and put a lighthouse, so that it prevents the boats from crushing on the land.

Nice update Skimbo  &apls

It's an interesting change of pace seeing your cities without a tour based on rails or highways. I certainly love that style but variety is the spice of life  ;)   I liked the rails in the first picture with that medium-rise Japanese rail station snuck in! It's always a pleasure to visit here!

@nbvc; rooker1; carlfatal; apeguy and Ricardomiranda: Thank you for your comments, guys!

@art128: There is no tutorial which would help, I'm only experimenting with props all the time :D I mostly use peg's shoreline props fpr the gravel/sand textures. But my beach texture is also very nice. The lighthouse would not be useful due to the topography of this area.
@noahclem: Here you go, another Rail tour :D

Don't worry if DI takes longer breaks in between, it's just because I haven't got enough time to play SC4 right now.....

Heya and welcome to the eightyfirst update of my CJ Dragon Islands....

Heya and welcome to the eightythird update of my CJ Dragon Islands....


Today I will show you two mosaiques out if the WIP 2.0 version of my city Lònghú. I rebuildt it because the old version of the city just looked creepy compared to it's neighbouring cities which where buildt months later.


The first mosaique shows the citie's highrise district to it's west at night, the second mosaique gives you a quick impression of the downtown area and it's beach before stretching to the western highrise district again. Both of them are avaiable in full res. too, just click the link below.

@all: Well, Let's say it that way: My CJ is the first to have another update in the best sellers section after reaching 500 comments xD

U84:DINorthern Coastal (regional) Part I


Heya and welcome to the eightyfourth update of my CJ Dragon Islands....


Trains! Finally again :D   Today we're going to have a huge update following DINorthern's coastal. But only the part Fenghuang-Zhángtán, the second part, Zhángtán-Dawu (or even Yin zhou) will follow a few updates later.


I will not comment on the pictures showed below, I just want to mention that the line follows soome routes which are already known, others which aren't. The Zhángtán as shown in the update "Red Dragon Limited" does no longer exist, the city developed from a dirty industrial town with wooden worker homes to a middleclass suburbian city with last remains of hi tec industry. DINorthern uses trains they've recently bought outside DI. Some 90's EMUs they call DIN3000 class now.

U85:Longhu (2.0) CitypiX2


Heya and welcome to the eightyfifth update of my CJ Dragon Islands....


Just two mosaiques of Lònghú 2.0 today, I hope you like 'em!

Mosaique 1: A while ago, someone asked me to show how I use to build connections between suburban and central areas of my cities. I took this place because it's a very shrot distance between a highrise area and a suburban neighbourhood.
Mosaique 2: This mosaiqhe spans from downtown (top) towards the northwestern highrise district. The HSR line crossing the pic at the bottom is the one towards Lòng chéng.

@Drago in U85: Mosaique 1, left side about central height.







U86 DIN Coastal part II


Heya and welcome to the eightysixth update of my CJ Dragon Islands....


*Blows some dust away*


This mega-update took me quite a time to finish. It includes 4 mosaiques and covers a huge part of DIN's coastal line. (Well, at least a 3rd part will follow through, maybe even a 4th)
Covered stretch:
Part 1: Fenghuang - ShìLònghuú
Part 2: Shì Lònghú - jin Zhou
Part 3/4: Jin Zhou - Xi zhen

Thank you all for your grand and motivating comments, guys!


@art128: It's a personal relot of one of CNAurora's statons. Search for his name at Simcity china.
@Risu: I think it was in here..... http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/26855-murimk-mmp-rocks-pack-2-bedrock/ Regional overview: Not right now. It's a single big construction area at the moment due to the region being enlarged to north, east south and west. And no, the other islands do not resemble dragons.




@Drago in U86: On a rooftop in central left pic 7







U87 Just a mosaique of Dawu


Heya and welcome to the eightyseventh update of my CJ Dragon Islands....


U87 is more like a gap-filler and shows off a small part of Dawu's coastline. The bridges leading to the left are leaving the country to the north, the railline running paralelle to the shore is the northern coastal line (Fenghuang rail); The DINnorthern train that can be seen in the pic is a rush hour booster on it's way towards Longhu via Dawu eastern station and coastal line.

From top to bottom:
Dawu eastern industrial district; Worker's settlement; Dawu central park; Dawu ferry district; Dawu Castle.

Just a small mosaique of DAWU featuring the area around central sta. to show DI is still alive! I wish I had the time for big updates but this time just does not exist :( I will make smaller updates in the future.

U90 DAWU City Mosaique v 2


Our mosaique starts south of Dawu's city centre and heads east. At the top we can see a pretty unfair race between a DINorthern commuter train (Series 490) and a DISC nozomi (Series 401).
Next we can see 2 coupled three car trams on a local Lònghú-Dawu Central sta. service. Then you see DIN's train depot with it's tracks towards Dawu central sta. and after crossing endless suburbz we'll see one of Lònghú's commuter 'branch' lines with another 490 en route. Attention! Mosaique full res got 10MB!

U91 DAWU around 5AM

Heya@all. Today I show you two foggy early morning scenes from Dawu, Dragon Islands.

Scene1:
4:50 Yesterday's storm left quite a mess along the beach of Dawu's Eastside district. A group of people seems to be awake already and meet up at the small food curt next to the beach. But most still sleep while the blocks slowly dive out of the fog....
Scene2:
5:05 The first fish trawlers leave the small habour while the 4:55 Kodama seems a little late crossing the border bridge.

Is there a downloadable mod in order to have two locomotives at the end of the trains or is it photoshoped?

Thank you!

Beautiful coastline, the work with the MMPs and Somy's housing buildings is phenomenal. I loved the shinkansen on the foggy bridge.

Finally, I have also found the dragon.  :thumbsup: I like your layout of the apartment blocks. I just wonder how the coast guard is on Tsunami or a Taifun.  ()what()

Thank you for your fast reply Gugu3 ( :thumbsup:). (excuse me) You really mean the first pic of this thread (arround 2000)? No dragon there for me &Thk/(. I'm looking for a in-game flying dragon like the zeppelin or balloon (plane or copter) in the game - I thought I saw it in the pics (dark at night & green on day &idea) while scrolling through the whole 'diary'. Maybe I was wrong and it is a static dragon? %confuso Please light my brain  ;D
