Looks cool, cant wait too see some in game pics

I love the flag! Can't wait to see pics

Well, the Paul Leclercq Int. Airport is the main gate to New Bordeaux, so I'm going to show it.





In this first picture we can see the eight terminals of the airport, part of the parkings, because de T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 and T8 have underground parkings, the Intermodal Stations of bus, subway and taxi and the five runways and the taxiways.
The connexion between terminals are made by an internal web of subway, supplementary to the metro lines of L1 Round St.-Paul Leclercq International and L5 Central Library-Paul Leclercq International.



The Terminal 1 (that in the reality it's little bit bigger), is the first terminal being built of the Paul Leclercq International Airport. In a first instance it supported every flight of the airport, such as nationals and internationals, but nowadays is reserved to the national flights and those international flights with a low transit. It was constructed between 1951 and 1956 (09/27 runway included, now 09C/27C). Since it was built there have been some many remodeling works, in 1991-1992 in its external look (to make it look like the new T2), and after in 1999-2000 when it was modified interiorly to fit it to its new functions of national flights terminal, wich it had take many years before.



This is the second terminal of the airport. After his construction between 1960 and 1966, the T1 took the function of arrivals terminal, and the T2 became the departs terminal, both of them for national and international flights. Nowadays, like the T1, this terminal is reserved for national and low transit international flights.
The T2 preservers its original aesthetic, but in 1998-1999 its interior was remodeled when its function changed with the construction of the big sisters of T1 and T2: the Terminals 3 and 4.





The terminals 3 and 4 were built at the same time between 1990 and 1997. Both of them were designed to support the heavy and growing request of international flights of the Paul Leclercq International Airport. Designed to shelter a great number of "jumbos", the three new runways (09L/27R, 18L/36R and 18R/36L) were built in consequence (and after the 09/27 runway was remodeled becoming 09R/27L for the moment). With all this things the capacity of the airport increased considerably, but soon the need of making the airport bigger was evident.



Those two terminals have space for 39 planes, six of them "jumbos". So the T5 and T6 are bigger than the T1 and T2 together and they are bigger than the T3 or T4, relieving considerably the passengers traffic saturation in the other four terminals.
This impressive terminal has two arms. In the T5 and T6 are the new headquarters of Fly Mosman and those terminals are for the exclusive use of the mosmite airline.





The air traffic in New Bordeaux was constantly growing and new airlines from other regions appeared, so soon was needed to enlarge the airport again. The T7 made up for this need. In it, small international flights, but with a high transit, arrive and deppart. With the construction of the T7 a new runway was built, the 09R/27L (the old 09R/27L became at last 09C/27C). However, the T7 cant handle big planes as the T3 or T4, and those terminals were getting small for the airport needs.




As the T7 was built for the small planes traffic, after the T8 was built for bigger planes. This one, is the most modern and advanced terminal of the airport, and it has the most advanced technologies of telemetry to monitoring the baggages, a fully automatized system of baggage distribution to their respective plane, a four stars hotel and a long etcetera. Without chance of doubt, is the terminal of the future.




Mosman, instead a important comercial focus, has a strong industry that grows every day, and the products manufactured and not consumed in New Bordeaux, had to be exported in any way. Most of this products get off of New Bordeaux in ship from the PCIE or from the Homebush Bay Harbor. But some of items are transported in planes, and those planes are loaded in the Freight Terminal A. The new bordeauxian courier company, GlobEx, has here its headquarters.



PlaneB, a enterprise from Almia that makes planes, has a production plant in New Bordeaux. Nowadays in this plant, are made some parts of the fuselage of the PlaneB Pl-2100 "Ecoliner" and of the PlaneB Pl-2200, such as some other pieces of those planes. In the picture we can see how the front section of a Pl-2100 "Ecoliner" is loaded into a Velluga to be transported to the main plant of PlaneB, were it will be assembled with the other pieces of the plane.

Airport looks awesome

I really love the work.

Love that airport. It makes me feel like rebuilding my airport.

Today has arrive to Mosman the Simlympic Torch on the sixth day of the torch relay for the XI Simlympic Games.

This is the route map of the torch through Mosman.



The torch has arrive to Mosman coming from Petrova, where yesterday the torch did his route, directly to the T8 of the Paul Leclercq Int Airport. It was foreseen that the plain will arrive to the airport at 11:00 GMT-8, but some problems with the wather have delayed the flight.



Immediately the NBOC president Michal J. Tayllerand has been the first carrier of the torch, who has run with the torch from the Paul Leclercq International Aiport to the vicinity of the Ryde-Parramatta University Arena, where he gave the torch to the Mayor of Mosman Lionel Linus, who ran with it between the arena to the little jetty on the Oak Lake, where he boarded on a little boat in which he sailed across the Oak River, arriving to Bellemore. There the famous TV presenter Madison Gwendal took the relay and got on a bus in which she covered the road between Bellemore and the Bicentennial Park.



Between Bellemore and the Bicentennial Park the bus passed through the Brunnel Bridge, one of the two bridges that connects the Rushcutters Peninsula with Ryde-Parramatta.





Near the zoo of the Bicentennial Park, Madison Gwendal gave the torch to the football and actor Augustus Cole, who ran with the torch just to nearby the NBBC headquarters, where cyclist Anthony Fontana took the torch and pedaled to arrive to the Moodyville Treatment Square.



There the torch passed to the chief of the Mosman Police Department, Guillaume Barbereau, who ran with the torch from the Moodyville Square to the Simlympic Stadium on the Industrial Mile.



Before the stadium the same man, Guillaume Barbereau carried the torch to the Circular Quay near the Simlympic Park where as the Mayor of Mosman, he embarked on a motor boat to arrive to the Shatams Head Ferry Terminal.





There he gave the torch to Enoch Leclercq, one descendants of Paul Leclercq, founder of the region. He carried the torch from the ferry terminal to the Occident Station on the Sim Metro Life Boulevard where the relay was taken by Guillaume Bendejacq, another cyclist.



He ran with the torch in is bicycle till the las quarter of the boulevard, where he gave the torch to Daniel Azkoaga, the General Minister of New Bordeaux, who ran with the torch till the Atlantis Square, the end of the torch path through Mosman.

Fantastic start Engorn!

Your airport is wonderful .

wow this looks amazing

Very nice!

Absolutely incredible .

Well, here you have some shots of the most important sport venues in Mosman, because this is SimSports, doesn't it? :p



Being a small region and with only a big city, New Bordeaux hasn't great sport leagues of its own, son its most important teams had to play on the US and Canada leagues. In the case of soccer, the Mosman Warriors and the Mosman Waves plays on the MLS (Mayor League Soccer) against Canada and USA teams, as in hockey, in the case of the Wizards of Mosman and the Mosman Whites, the play their matches on the NHL. The Mosman Walls, baseball team, plays on the National League (the never have been on the American League), the Mosman Wings are currently on the D-League of the NBA (they have played two seasons on the NBA), and the Mosman Whales plays on the NFL.



The New Sewart Field is the Mosman Warriors stadium. It was inaugurated on September of 2008 and its the most modern stadium of the city, and the one with the best facilities. It has a capacity for 61.000 spectators. Its located on the south border of the Bicentennial Park and it has splendid views of the park thanks to a large viewpoint on the north stand. Its equipped with high comfort locker rooms, bar, restaurant, gymnasium, club museum, press hall, infirmary, club stores and conference halls, everything to make the stadium one of the bests equipped in the world.



The Stadium Arcadium its located on the south boarder of the Sim Metro Life Boulevard. It is home for the Mosman Waves. It has a capacity of 110.000 spectators, stores, cafeteria, clinic and various services and its considered as an "5 Star Stadium", able to host events like great finals of elite championships.



The Mosman City Bank Arena is located on the metropolis heart, near to Procton Point and on the side of the Moodyville Treatment Square, is the court of the Wizards of Fosman, with a capacity of 18.200 spectators (although it can be expended to 20.000 dismantling the main ice ring). It has two ice rings, although only one of them is used for matches because the other, a smallest one, is only used for trainings. Thanks to its central situation, the MCB Arena hosts boxing fights, concerts or any other event with a lot of people.



The Icespear Arena is located on the junction of the L4 and L5 of the Mosman Metro, on the southeast of Ryde. It is the Mosman Whites court, a humble hockey team becoming from the working classes. With a capacity of 15.630 spectators, is the smallest of all the mosmite stadiums, but despite that, it is an important architectonic example of those kind of buildings.



The Safeco Field is located on Parramatta, near the border with Ryde. This mastodontic stadium, with a capacity of 47.155 spectators, is home of the Mosman Walls. This stadiums has a retractable roof to cover the field the rainy days. It counts with many food stalls, which allows to the spectators to buy food from their places on the stand and someone would carry their food to their seat. There are also team stores, press halls, big locker rooms and a club museum.



The "Nº101" of the SMLB, most known as the Sim Metro Life Arena. It is the court of the Mosman Wings, the city's basketball team. With a capacity of 17.239 spectators during the game days, is also a complex dedicated to concerts and spectacles thanks to the versatility of the building which allows a fast change on the ring and stands configuration.



The January 19th Memorial Stadium is located on the Parramatta Bay shore, in Shatam, near the Jasper Bridge. This stadium, home of the NFL Mosman Whales, has a capacity for 65.535 spectators. On its origins it was called Pendergast Coliseum but the name was changed on memory of the victims of the earthquake that shaked Pasadena (Neware) the january 19 of 1984.

Nice! Where did you get that stadium in the last pic???

Very nice! Same Question as Max. Also you should sign up the Mosman Whales up for the SFL! SimSports Football League

I'm sorry but the January 19th Memorial Stadium is an unreleased BAT. His bater had a problem with the model and he never released it, but on the ST topic about his works he shown a picture of the stadium nearly finished and I photoshoped it on a view of my city. On reality there is another stadium in that place.

ahhhh the Paul Brown Stadium then that never got finished?

As far as I know, it doesn't. At least it never was exported.

nope he never released it I remeber waiting for it. Turns out it was too large to export

The Mount Hammer nuclear plant was a project of the Canadian government to provide New Bordeaux and Vancouver with power. Its location near the border between Canada and New Bordeaux (in fact, due its proximity with Mosman), unleashed a social denial by the neobordeauxians. Two weeks ago, after three years of works and being the plant ended, the government of Canada decided to stop the project.









I know that it hasn't anything with the power plant, but the border its on the nearsides of the plant and there is nothing else to show with it, so i put it here too.

Awesome!

very nice!
I like the use of the waterway to the cooling system of teh reactors

Nowadays the Pendergast surname, even it's not the most extended, is with Leclercq and Azkoaga, one of the best knowns and renowned of New Bordeaux. The Pendergast family (de Prendregast in the old days) has been always very linked with the history of the region since its foundation. It was Antoine de Prendregast with Paul Leclercq who founded the region, in fact is well known that Prendregast chose the location for the new settlement. Since the 18th century the Pendergast family has taken part in the history of New Bordeaux in many ways, most of them taking part in politics and in many cases being part of the newbordeauxian high society, "starring" some of the most known and tricky happenings occurred on New Bordeaux.
The first great familiar scandal was when Maurice Pendergast engaged his own first cousin Daphne, who was unfaithful to him. When Maurice discovered that his wife had a lover, he killer her and then their his own son. After that he took his life. It is said that the lover could be his brother, Antoine Enoch Louis Pendergast, whoh disappeared on those days and that he could be murdered by Maurice too. But the corpse was never find and there are some theories about the disappearance of Antoine, the most extended and probable is that he disappeared by his own will. Short time before his disappearance a medic doctor appeared in Mosman, and who became very prestigious. His names was Enoch Leng, being Leng the maiden name of Antoine Enoch Louis Pendergast. Anyway, Enoch Leng, as Antoine did, disappeared some years after leaving no tracks and there are not new identities associated with him.
Murderers on the family didn't take long time to get back. It was on the next generation when Cornelia Pendergast, which has a mental illness, poisoned his brother Ambergris and then she poisoned herself. Unfortunately the poison was of slow effect, so it didn't make effect until some hours later. At the moment when Ambergris's heart stopped he was driving the family car with his wife Leonor and his two sons, Simon and Bernoulli. The car had a terrible accident, consequence of that his wife and sons die.
Recently has been discovered that Arquimedes R. Pendregast killed his wife too, Afra L.E. Delamere. Arquimedes, after five daughters, frustrated because his wife haven't gave him a son, threw her from the top of the stairs, killing her. After that, as his daughters reached the age, he send them to diverse convents, and consequence of that his acts are known today, because Amelia, the older of his daughters, wrote all that in a recently found diary.
By the other hand the family is very respected in neobordeauxian society due the great leaders and defenders of the region that it has given. Some of theme are, instead Antoine de Prendregast, Ishmael Pendregast, Hezekiah Pendergast, Arsenius A. Pendergast or Cornelius Pendergast, all of the became General Minister of New Bordeaux. The current General Minister, Daniel Azkoaga is son of Lilyane F. Pendregast, so in some way its part of the lineage too.
Internationally the family is also known, because Eloise S.M. Pendergast is now married with Luis de Savonia, crown prince of Pionesa.

This Central European style castle was built by Gaspard de Prendregast, son of Antoine de Prendregast, con-founder of New Bordeaux, at the beginnings of the 17th Century (between the 1809 and 1818) to be the residence of the Prendregast family. In it can be appreciated the grandiosity and tendency to the ostentatiousity of the Prendregast family.
The castle is located near the River Oak, close to his junction with the River Elm. It has great lands, mostly occupied by a elm forest. Inside the enclosure limited by a small wall we can find instead the castle, the old farm fields and the familiar graveyard, but rumors says that the true remains of the deceases are in a secret underground chamber, but it has never been found.
On 1967, Linnaeus Pendergast, direct heir of Gaspard, after the decline of the family (in the sense of the number of members), considering that such a castle like this was too big for a four member family (he, his wife Isabella and his two sons, Aloysius and Diogenes, because Eloise didn't born yet), decided to sell the castle to the Regional Government of New Bordeaux, with the condition of not being used for tourism.
In this way "Pendreborg" became "River Oak Asylum". It is a lunatic asylum for rich people. To it came persons with mental disorders, most of the mild, of the most wealthy families of New Bordeaux, Canadá and some northeastern states of the USA. Usually the "guests" receive the same treat as if they were on a spa or seaside resort.
On 2007, when Linnaeus deceased, his older son Aloysius granted to the government the right to use the castle as a touristic attraction. Nowadays the visits to the castle are allowed, but they are very reduced due the asylum has priority, while the access to the castle lands is free.



This small water mill was used to grind the wheat that was cultivated on the castle fields. Today its not used as a mill, but it is a small free museum where the visitors can see how the wheat was ground to make flour.



This old bridge, known as Backgate Bridge, crosses the River Elm before its junction with the River Oak. Its considerated the back gate to the castle and it is because of that that is known with that name.



This is the familiar graveyard, named before, and where is supposed that most of the Pendergast family members are buried. Anyway there are not only Pendergast family members, but some family friends or other well known persons that the Pendergast family members allowed to rest there for the eternity.

Where did you get that bridge?
