One of the most impressive aspects of Staunton is the sheer number of amazing views it offers - there seems to be a never-ending supply of incredible perspectives.

Well theres not much I can really do about it. Bigger textures means more space, its suprising that Staunton is smaller than Palm Dunes and City City, but is techically bigger in size. So small textures means faster preformance

Staunton's best angle.

You'll probably notice a few new major buildings, i'll give details after I come back from California.

Bergenser · #**546** Posted **Jan 26, 2007, 7:38 PM**

Well I am planning on a Galleria/Midtown area far into the suburbs, with some minor supertalls. You know, like Houston/Dallas. A Midtown to the east would be a good idea, but I think Staunton already has enough supertalls, especially for a city with 1.8 Million.

How Staunton would effect Americas Largest 10.

1. New York City, NY
2. Los Angeles, CA
3. Chicago, IL
4. Houston, TX
5. Staunton, NJ
6. Philadelphia, PA
7. Phoenix, AZ
8. San Antonio, TX
9. San Diego, CA
10. Dallas, TX

Upper Northeast Side, with a new modern building under construction. So far, unnamed.

Now this is what many picture Staunton to look like, using the "Fog" feature, Staunton can now have a more Gotham feel.

Staunton, on a hot smoggy day.

One of Staunton's better views.

You can see a tiny preview of the new Upper Northeast Side in this pic.

Awesome job!

Derek · #**555** Posted **Feb 2, 2007, 4:48 AM**

excellent

FlyersFan118 · #**556** Posted **Feb 3, 2007, 5:06 AM**

can you do a shot of the city from directly above, like a map type thing? that'd be cool to see - you haven't done that in quite a while, not since you changed it up.

Bergenser · #**557** Posted **Feb 3, 2007, 4:07 PM**

That looks impressive for shure!

Patrick · #**558** Posted **Feb 3, 2007, 7:02 PM**

Thanks Guys!

Some more previewish type shots for the New Upper Northeast Side, so far the area is about 50% finished, the Park, currently has no official name. If you will notice, you will see many of the buildings resemble actual ones around New York's Central Park.

For Example, the building in the middle has some simulaity to the Trump International Hotel & Tower.

The Skyline of the Upper Northeast Side, city council is planning on changing the districts name for a 3rd time, as Upper Northeast Side sounds to ugly, and Trenton (the original name) was confusing, due to the state's capital.

Sure Requests! I'd love to see more of those

Heres a map of whats in store from Staunton

Hmm no comments there. Well I think I figured out how Foxmtbr's pics are so super clear. Before, I pressed the printscreen keyboard button to get snapshots of pictures, but this results in building textures still remaining fuzzy. I tried the exporting 2D graphics feature, and the results were great. No more fuzzy textures.

Now looking more realalistic than ever.

Any shot requests? Suggestions? Emporis requests?
