    Hey guys!


    Still working on the buildings and waiting for an authorization from the author (original modeler) of few buildings so I can publish the entire set!


    In the meantime 3 NEW BUILDINGS have been UV-mapped, textured and slightly transformed.


    SimCity 4 fans out there should recognize the red building ;)


    In correct order buildings are from : New York (160m), Milwaukee (77m), Warsaw (237m).


        

    Blackgrisu I haven't had a chance to check this mod out yet but as soon as I finish my current project I will have a look at it ... my original terminals are all compatible with Vanilla Airfield which I modified and created many Airports and Airstrips from. I guess this Huge Airport should be ok with using my Double Capacity Passenger Terminal and Modern Terminals modification! We'll see!;)

    Glad you like it! A Grand Central station! Sure! Anyone up for the challenge? ;)


    I did decide to scale down the buildings to about 80% of their original height so they are still imposing but are more manageable within game environment and still look quite good ;)


    And yes - it takes a certain kind of crazy to undertake creation of a mod. Only modders on this site know how much work/time is put into those.. but in the end it's all worth it - especially if you can put a smile on someone's face during this crazy pandemic ;)


    And here it is folks... the most famous of them all! The CHRYSLER BUILDING ...hope you like it! It took about 30 long hours of texture work but I'm quite happy with the result!

    Now only one more Art Deco building left to close the collection! ;)


    This project would be eye candy only then? Because it won't make any economical sense whatsoever.. Don't get me wrong - I adjust all my aircraft .mdls for slower ascent but slightly faster landing speeds but still can't understand the need for super long runways. Also... as far as I know there will be Large International Airport released very soon on Steam from a Chinese modder with quite long runways! Hope this will address some of the request for longer take-off runs ;)

    ColonelClusterFunk That's one fantastic aircraft indeed - they also have president Kennedy's 707 there ... - I have visited the museum and went inside this Constellation 2 years ago - it is beautifully preserved but because of all the plexiglass they put in the cabin (making one small corridor for the visitors) it seemed very cramped. On the picture it's outside but nowadays it is inside in the presidential aircraft sections in one of the huge hangars. The first picture I made from a cockpit of a Connie too (I think) On the 2nd you see the 707. But if you look closer through the window on the 1st picture in the center you can see the "nose" of the aircraft you are talking about;) However that one is a Super Constellation..


        

    Hey!


    Here's a little update ;) 14 buildings are almost ready and only 2 more to go... tonight I am also laying ground for the most ART DECO building of them all... imported to Blender (last screenshot) ;)


    Hope you like it as much as I do!



           

    Hey there!


    Little update from the upcoming ART DECO skyscrapers mod!


    I have finished my 10th building today and even though the collection already gives quite a decent skyline - I think of adding few more buildings and maybe decorate the facades some more.


    Here are few screenshots to give you a better idea of the ever-growing towers ;)


    Enjoy!

    That's not the etymology of that word and neither is your interpretation. Want to imply something? Can you write what you mean and mean what you write? I wasn't aware standing up for yourself is unwelcome?


    It's so easy to speak in riddles and metaphors and when misunderstood you put the blame on the one who misunderstood. It's very convenient to wash any responsibility and create atmosphere of confusion.. and not providing any explanation afterwards. So thank you for this exchange - but it is pointless.


    Too much of a hassle. I said what I had to say - in a clear manner and without riddles or attaching new meaning to the words.


    I just finished texturing another building, it's late.. so now watch me say goodnight ;)

    Gordon Dry So you are anti-globalist and proud to be ... and I dream of being treated as I treat others, simple. If you are disrespectful to me it's only natural that I protest or give back the same.


    Actually as human race we are only as fast as the slowest of us. Plenty of evidence around ... You don't need to look further than the pandemic. Or do you honestly think this mess will go away when only your country is vaccinated? Wishful thinking ... being anti-globalist in ever more connected world will be ... challenging.


    Compromise in your worldview is weak? Compromise is not about loosing but recognizing that another person has as much right to be happy with the outcome as you. If you see yourself as superior then of course you have no regard for others and you don't compromise out of principle ... or because of fear of appearing weak ... even if you know you might not be right.


    Nobody in this situation we were discussing is talking about globalism, transhumanism or conformity. It's a simple question of being nice and have respect for others.

    I don't agree either that we should feel the same or think the same - that would be boring. That said being anti-globalist is not an excuse for putting someone down or treat them poorly - it's called basic education or in this case online etiquette. Nothing to adapt to, nothing revolutionary, nothing new really. Or if there's a miscommunication - to work it out even by aggressive conversation.

    That crude metaphor at the end doesn't make any sense, you are comparing treating other people with respect to flies eating shit? Wow...

    It's a perfect example of false equivalency between things to make a point, which it doesn't. Maybe not the best choice of words? I am not here to change your mind about anything - you believe and think whatever you think is right and I respect your beliefs even if I don't agree with them ... but don't spit on me and expect I will pretend it what somehow raindrops;)


    R.

    Gordon Dry Reading too fast I thought that sentence says more about the male culture than anything else. Now I realize it's a metaphor - then again what is your point though? Should we be stubborn and keep our way of acting even when offending others or change / conform and evolve to fit the ever changing society and consider other ways? The balance is hard to find and guess it requires compromises from both sides..? We are only as fast as the slowest member of our team and some are more likely to compromise or find a solution than others. So...

    Hey guys,


    Thank you very much for your input!

    Licaon One of my best friends is actually German so even if I don't live in your country I understand the German way of doing things and I am quite used to it. :)


    For the whole situation - I am glad it's in the open and resolved. I don't mind being reminded about rules in a friendly manner or pointed to the right person for clearer communication, I welcome it.

    I realize that there is a lot of ways to be misunderstood across cultures and languages. Verbal vs. written communication is indeed very different therefore it's important to keep that in mind while communicating.


    I don't agree with Gordon Dry who tries to drop it into political correctness category and he clearly forgets that when we use 100 words to describe something while Germans use 20 it is only because in German you glue your words together ( like: Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän) ;) That sentence about women with green hair and nose earing being dumb would explain why there are so few women on this site... go figure. Finally it costs nothing to be nice and it goes a really long way.


    It can mean the difference between someone contributing to the community or completely withdrawing from it and taking an observer position. If you scroll through forums here you will see that young modders quit after presenting their first mod to community because they are put down by older modders who point out their mistakes instead of helping and encouraging development. Same goes for contests and general forum etiquette. There's nothing wrong with speaking up either - even if I am fairly new here. I mean well to all and always start with good intentions.


    I know it's cliché but always truth in those sayings : It's nice to be important and it's important to be nice.


    P8_2401_Coeln I find it interesting how when I complain about harsh words it's the cultural misunderstanding but when you also offer same harsh words in German it's offensive. The only explanation: there is a fine line to walk for all our feelings here!

    My whole point is that sometimes it's good to overreact or put somebody on the other end of the stick. That way we are all mindful of each other and see through our differences. If we are lucky in the end something good should come out of it ;)


    Eisenbahnfreund My cashier smiles and asks how I am quite often - I guess not every shop has robot cashiers:saint: It is not expected but brightens my shopping and I come back to my local supermarket as a result - even though I have 3 different ones to choose from.


    As for Traffic Hamburg - I said my brief interaction with you online wasn't great so I based my observation/criticism on those exchanges only - I am sure in real life you're a different person and I am glad we cleared this up. Also thumbs up for giving your time to the community for free, it's awesome and admirable! I know you're doing your job - I was disappointed and surprised about your taste for personal insults towards me as a way of venting your frustration with other users.


    I accept your half- not direct- not really - 'one of us' - 'it's the internet' - vague apology and offer you mine in return.

    I am sorry for overreacting and calling you names - I was only responding to your insults and attitude. I will be more understanding and calmer from now on ;) There... I feel lighter already! Let's put this behind us. I have no hard feelings and I hope you don't either! I will happily participate in a screenshot contest in a category I like next time! 8)


    Habt alle einen schönen Abend!

    Traffic Hamburg


    If users are interested in what exactly happened here's the link where it shows your dryness and unfriendliness for someone who enters the CONTEST FORUM for the first time:


    - SCREENSHOT COPETITION GUARDIAN FAIL -


    I actually didn't want to revisit this but I will spell it out AGAIN because you are lying about what happened:


    No HELLO from you, just reminder of the rules for me ... (NOT THAT THE TAG WAS MISSING) again ...alternative history?

    Not cool but ok... :!:


    I consulted the rules again as you requested and was trying to figure out the TAG thing (which didn't work) and Feluno told me it was a forum software limitation from non-German keyboards. Then you complain I uploaded and tagged the picture 1 hour later in the GALLERY as if you were the manager of my time and didn't read I was already being helped by someone else because of a TAG problem.


    Instead of being cool and welcome new screenshot you act like a bad policeman because you cannot be bothered to help anyone. Just complain. Then you say you see no logic in my upload as file attachment and later to GALLERY because that's not what you would do. Just to be clear: there is NO RULE that says you have to upload in that order or even tag the same day.

    There is a date until which you can upload to gallery and TAG.


    STOP saying that I have broken some rules because I DIDN'T and it is completely FALSE.


    I was so annoyed at that situation that I voluntarily asked you not to consider my entry. ;)


    ALL THAT because of your BAD ATTITUDE and then blaming it on the 'language barrier' and misunderstanding: only when I pointed out your rudeness then you asked Feluno to take over the conversation - after you made all the mess already.


    TIP: I am using in-browser translator to translate the whole website page as I know most topics here are in German - it is automatic and most useful! <3


    In the end this whole situation could have been avoided if you did not insert your unfriendly 3 cents while I was already being helped by others but ... you just couldn't help yourself.


    LAST THING: I asked who do you think you are in a sense - what gives you the RIGHT to accuse someone of not reading or not observing rules, being not logical, writing that my screenshot has no personality and YOUR latest that I have a weak mind: huh:?


    Obviously you have NO RIGHT to say or imply any of those things because you have no way of knowing ... You are only trying to ASSUME things to fit your worldview.


    TIP: do not try to assume because you will make and ASS of U and ME 8o


    YOU ARE indeed a competition guardian but also from our brief interaction very RUDE PERSON with BAD ATTITUDE (to me in this whole situation).


    BONUS QUESTION: Why are you a competition GUARDIAN if you can't be bothered to be NICE to contestants and always EXPLAIN the rules in a friendly manner?


    Isn't that the whole point?


    I wish you all the best with your screenshot contest and I hope you can reflect on how to handle those kind of situations better in the future.


    R.

    Traffic Hamburg


    I have withdrawn from screenshot competition because you are very UNFRIENDLY and even though I haven't broken any rules -you insisted (in a rude manner) that I should do things 'your way', upload to the gallery when YOU want and instead of helping because the tag didn't work for us English speakers - you started criticizing. The only person that was helpful and friendly was Feluno


    And now you dare to say I have made a mistake and I have a weak mind? (what is this alternative history you are trying to write?)


    Seriously dude?


    Who exactly do you think you ARE?


    It just shows your level of treating people. We are diverse crowd of creative people here - maybe you should pay more attention to your manners as competition guardian then this would not have happened. But then again I've been to Hamburg and know that attitude first hand so am not surprised.


    P8_2401_Coeln - Interesting concept! ;)

    Of course ;) ..the only thing about it is the height... at 319metres tall this would 'dwarf' (LOL) any building in TpF2! So far the buildings ready are in 100-200 meters range (and they are huge)!


    Hey guys!


    Do you remember ART DECO airport from December's ADVENT CALENDAR?


    Now it's time to get some era-matching buildings... few of them are already being tested in-game.


    Are you ready for some new SKYSCRAPERS or should I stick to the airports only? ;)


    Let me know!
