Planes around Atlanta and DFW, the glow has a knob on top. Will we get the same glow for the ferries?

These are the only things left. One thing to touch up, one to decide on whether you want it or not.

Go poke RB0.

The glow is exactly the same on all the planes. The ferries I don't think so as they are on the water so I'll leave the glow off for now unless a vast majority somehow have difficulty seeing them on the blue.

This is what I get for living a life of sarcasm...

The Capital still has a bit of a jagged edge where the dome is, hit it with a bit of blur and I think you'll be set. (that and your tiny blobby glowyness issue on your aircraft. :P )

Sounds like a plan then, last call kids, lets hear you're remaining issues!

My tiny simple gripe now is that a couple of the ovals on the small map could stand to be nudged one way or another, mainly cause they get awfully close to another oval, or star. The ones I notice the most are:

Minneapolis
Ironwood
Louisville
Beckley
Post Falls

Minor nudges only needed! Mostly to the left. The shadow seems to interfering to something on the right.

2 things from me...isaiah40...
DFW = Dallas/Fort Worth....can you nudge this so the the equal signs line up under the one above...perhaps the fort Worth may need to be bumped to the next line like NY City NY.
the legend on the stars planses etc. can you left align each column of text on those...it may look tidier

I don't have any gripes, but just to prove I was paying attention:

The label for Peoria could maybe be moved to the less-crowded area under its circle rather than the very crowded area over the circle?

I reduced the shadow on the ovals and the stars on the small of course, so hope this helps out.

I moved Peoria on the large, but left it as is on the small.

looks good functionally, though visually am thrown by the enormity of NEW ENGLAND areas

(if you were actually able to size/move it down you could run the area bonuses straight across from left to right -- though obv doing so, would be tricky in keeping NE decipherable)

the arch at the back of the (space shuttle like) NY area is wayyy too high / maybe flatten the top of massachusetts down?

i think with seeing the top of maine being that much higher than wash - even being leveled (slightly lower even) with alaska is a lil off putting


i dont even know if this is what were asking in this thread - and apologies if already covered - though simply my 2cents - as really looking forward to getting to play

Here is my little comment.

Anchorage and Juneau are not connected by ship in real life but Juneau and Seattle or Bellingham is connected by the Alaska Marine Highway. Make a ship port in Bellingham to Juneau with a blue ship and drop Anchorage. Have dotted line from Tok to Juneau.

Next make a red ship from San Diego to Hawaii.

I did have connects similar to what you area suggesting now, but it was decided to remove them for game-play reasons. As for the ports connecting Anchorage and Juneau, there is a ferry that runs between Juneau and Whittier which is close to Anchorage so that is why that connection is there.
