It shows some of the new features, such as the new transportation features and the vehicles you can control in the city.

I don't really care much for any of the "U Drive It!" stuff, but I am excited about:
-labels and street-names
-new buildings
-new style sets (European, 1890s Chicago, etc.)
As long as the "U Drive It!" stuff is optional, and the UFO stuff can be turned off, I'll buy it.

Slightly off-topic (but this being the only SimCity4 thread going currently), "the7trumpets" over at Simtropolis just announced that, through his/her efforts and those of other modders, they may have found a way to force the traffic simulator to use the shortest TIME distance instead of the shortest PHYSICAL distance.
Example: Sim Joe lives at House Manor and works at McJob. He can take either a Road, a Street, or a Highway on his commute. The road has the lowest tile distance, the highway the longest. As the traffic simulator currently stands, Joe will pretty much always choose the road, even though it will take him longer to complete a round-trip on the road, as opposed less time on a street and even less time on a highway. "the7trumpets" et al may have found the way to rectify this most irritating aspect of the game (besides the rendering performance).
What "the7trumpets" needs are cities that are mainly NON-GRID based and are mostly self-sustaining (Sims aren't commuting to other cities for work). They need to test the mod under actual gameplay before they can release it to the community in general. Head over to www.simtropolis.com, go into the Forums, enter the General Discussion forum, and find the thread titled "Pathfinding Fixed!!! -test cities needed" started by "the7trumpets."
Man, I hope they've succeeded in cracking this part of the code. (No, not cracking as in warez, cracking as in modding.) This fix has been needed for months now; hopefully it can be replicated once the expansion pack is out, if it isn't already included in expansion's coding.
EDIT: Made details for requested test-cities more clear.

Sounds interesting... I have been waiting for this mod for a very long time
...and my current city is the most Non-grid city I have ever seen, so I'll try to share it with the testers

I'm willing to bet that their server is based in a part of the northeast US that was affected by yesterday's blackout.
Seems to be back up now.

I'm reading through its forums right now; I couldn't access it at all yesterday afternoon, but today it has loaded everytime I've tried, so I wonder if its been yoyo-ing up and down or if the problem lies elsewhere.

I can get to the site.
Your problem may be with the link in DRoseDARs post (it has a comma at the end that shouldn't be there.) Remove the comma at the end, and it should work...

Had that "Parse Error" for the better part of the day. Final able to read your posts; I've corrected the link, but that site's servers are based in Ontario (I believe) so they were affected by the power outage as well.

SImCity 4 is a nice game and maybe i'll download the expansion. But the only game that i'm really waiting for is Space Rangers-2.

Looks like it's gone gold. According to gamespot, it will be in stores on September 22, and will be sold for $19.99. Then again, it says people in North America will be aligible for a $10 rebate. $10 for the expansion may not be so bad after all.
