Amazing work you got done there.RctNw

Your hotels are sick, no matter how long did it take for you to complete your buildings.

That last screen is a refreshing change from your usually style of building. I mean, yeah its still pretty massive, but still feels pretty unique.

Thanks guys.

Its actually looking really "completed" now, amazing work.

could you possibly make an overview with the blank maps labeled with what you are planning on them? As an outsider Im getting a little confused.

^ I plan on doing that with the next announcement next week.

Hmm...what's that to the right of the golf course?

Looking sharp man. Keep up the good work.

This is the most insanely ambitious project ever; I'm so impressed that you're actually pulling it off!!

the uberaerial still makes me shake me head in disbelief of the gigantism of this project.

I am looking forward to the airfield, I think that is going to be the crown juwel of this project with 3 maps being together . 

I love you using cena's slanted crown moulding piece; it just adds that much more class to your architecture and makes it aesthetically pleasing (which I kinda missed in your previous architecture)..

Oh, and cena mentioned the airfield, is that confirmed you decided to do the airfield? I agree that could be pinnacle of this project, looking forward to that very much!

1,000,000 tiles... thats more than most of us will use EVER... I'll be lucky to finish a project more than 1% that size, with half as much detail. Fanstastic looking, and awe-inspiring planning and execution here.

Thanks guys and yes, the Airport is very much still in the plans. I just have not found the right insperation for the terminals yet. That said, I am starting to make my way around to that portion of the map so I hope to at least start it by the end of the year.

As for the "uberaerial", once HOA is finished, I plan to release a close up version.

As always, thanks

Yeah I just can't get over how mind-blowing it is, and it's mind-blowing factor increases every time you release a new aerial with the latest released "piece". If you ever complete this, a screen showing the aerial of it all will forever be the pinnacle of all RCT screens. Then again the project as a whole will of course top everything ever made in the sense of epicness.

^ I wouldn't go that far as there have been some pretty epic stuff around here. Thanks though!

Well if it's not the top for epic-ness... It's above the top for sheer size.

Do you do the landscapes together on a single bitmap file and import, or do you do each one individually? (the latter would drive me insane...)

Edit... nevermind saw the answer in the other topic.

Another thing that I think would be pretty cool is if you were to combine all the map views (the one you get when you press tab in-game) of the entire thing, so that you get one giant map. Would be interesting to see how the landscaping and infrastrucure such as roads and monorails line up from above, and it would be a nice complement to the aerials.

Once this is finished, you should turn the aerial(s) into something like Google Earth or Bing Maps where you can rotate and zoom in and out. Now, that would be awesome.

Thanks guys but as I have said many times before, this will never be finished.

Split - Interesting idea. I may have to look into that
