Have fun!

To clarify:  The contest is "bus stations and hubs".  Trams use bus stations for street stops, so should we read this as being bus only, or buses and trams?   ???

Buses only. We'll leave the trams for another edition... ;)

I have it changed.

is already three days I try to access and can not, appears to
following message:

QuoteOps! O Google Chrome não conseguiu se conectar a www.simutrans-forum.de
Tente recarregar: www. simutrans- forum. de/ forum

I tried the explorer and the chrome and neither respond to page

Maybe your ISP is the problem, or it's the DNS Server you use... the links and the pages all work fine.

Oh and the German forum is under http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum (http://www.simutrans-forum.de/forum) (or also http://forum.simutrans-forum.de - but this one only redirects to the first adress, so it probably won't help). Without the /forum you will only find a very simple (and not very up-to-date) static page.

Nice work there, Enlighthell!

Thank you
I worked hard on it... 10 long minutes  ;)

Not really.
It was like 1 hour

Last day to post new candidates, buddies!

As we seem to be a bit low on participants I have made screenshot as well:

Pak128 - The Bus hub of the city of Lamas

The city of Lamas is positioned on a small peninsula. The bus hub of Lamas East not only services local busses and mailcars from the city going over the famous Red Gate bridge, but also provides connections to regional factories and attractions. High speed trains will bring you to the capital of Colesborne, while Lamas Ferries provides a special connection with the Great Parnsea Oilrig.

Well, I was considering to expand the nomination periods a few days more, as we had some problems with the german forum announcement. Until now, we have 6 contestants (three here and three at DE forum)

pak128.Japan

Niigata Railway and Bus Station

Niigata is a small rural town on a single track railway line. The town serves as a bus hub to neighbouring villages and there is a bus waiting for transferring passengers from a train which just arrived at the station.

Hello Everyone

This is the subterranean highway that connects almost every city. The bus stops are almost everywhere not in the street to prevent congestion. The bus routes in the smaller regions outside of Hilden and Itzehoe. pak.64, 1979

As I said, before, we had some problems with the announcements so I've decided to extend the nomination period three days more, until October 18th, so you still have time to join the contest.

Stadium Station - pak96.comic

I also have a 1152x864 version.

Just one thing to point: until day 18 from where? It's relative, while somewhere people are waking up in another place there are people going sleep. Say a GMT to be more clear. I prefer GMT -12. ;D

I didn't realized about that as usually people post his images long time before the deadline.

How did you get that stadium in pak96.comic, if I may ask?

It's an attraction. You can construct one by going in Attractions Builder over MAP EDITOR.
If there's none there maybe it's cause my pak96.comic version is newer. I'm using version 1.4.7 beta.

ah, I see.  Thank you!

Oh, and vilvoh, sorry about putting the picture in my earlier quote.  Lo siento.

Don't worry. It may happen to any of us. Just remember to remove the image from the quote next time...  ;)

The nomination period is over. The poll will start today afternoon.

Edit: You can vote here (http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=6102.0).
