THE NEW UPDATE TO VERSION 2.05 IS AVAILABLE NOW!
Since the feedback from the previous beta has been extremely positive, and no serious error occurred, it is time for the final version 2.05. In addition to a few minor bug fixes, new transmission channels for the ornamental buildings and a new channel exclusively for underwater cities are waiting for you.
There are also a few changes in the construction menu, the texture pack “Black Line” was optimized. Brand new textures for a Trade aircraft and the balancing of the Trade aircraft have been improved.
But most important: finally, many buildings have beautiful window pane reflections, making your cities look much more alive! I hope the great effort which was associated with it, has been worthwhile. :)
Have fun wishes you the A.R.R.C. Team!
