Are you considering making the freight doors and cabs for your buildings more realistic?
For which buildings in particular?

Also maybe put the garages in their own engines to reduce lagyou do realise you can comment out the garages(not the best option,but,a valid one)

Why is it that the parking garage elevators in Pyramid Plaza have extremely short door timers (1.5 seconds instead of the default 5 seconds)?
The Westy will close when it wants to close!

I think it's to reflect how impatient Westinghouse elevators are. They're known for having annoyingly short door timers.

Sometimes I wonder what it would look like if Sandy Spire had a version where the elevators were modernized.
A modernization wouldn't be needed because it is a fairly newer building with elevators which are fully ADA compliant

The Pyramid Plaza seriously resembles the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada when you look at it from the outside. I like the use of the Montgomery Vector fixtures. Are all four buildings (the Pyramid Plaza, the Sandy Spire, the Palace Tower, and the Palace Grand) going to be in one city map?
All four buildings will be integrated into the same city map. It won't be happening anytime soon though because there are lots of issues with stability and glitches. The code for several of these buildings will have to be heavily modified to get this working. I hope to have a city map by the end of the year.

I do like the textures for the buttons. I don't know how long it took you to create them, but they have realism and detail.
The textures didn't take too long to make as they were source from real photos. Minor edits were made to improve clarity and detail.

It is a fictional neighborhood and complex. Since this complex is so large, there isn't enough undeveloped land to place it near the ocean in any particular location.I can't really think of any city that would have a tropical climate. Maybe somewhere in Florida, but who knows.I was thinking that too. My own inference suggested Florida as the location for this complex, because it is the only place in the U.S. that I know of that has a smooth (i.e. flat) coastline in a true tropical climate (Georgia or even South Carolina may count, though they may not be true tropical climates). Backing this evidence up, the sun is oriented to the south and the coastline is oriented east relative to it, evident in both The Palace Tower and the Sandy Spire, making it further likely that it would be in Florida. It would likely also be in Miami, because that's where most of Florida's tall buildings are (set apart for Tampa, though it is on the west coast, which the Palace Tower's orientation evidence clearly is against).

A corridor and exterior entry has been added to the second floor on the southeastern side of the mall. Eventually this will connect to The Palace Tower with an elevated moving walk in a future build.

The Palace Grand
Some of the larger anchor stores will have dual freight elevators. As the main purpose of the next release is to include elevators and escalators, the stores won't have much detail until later version. The elevators in Sears are Schindler MT. For Saks Fifth Avenue, I would like to use Kone KSS 220 fixtures if available. Dillard's will probably have Dover Impulse elevators, and Neiman Marcus is to be determined.

Elevators are beginning to be installed in the east concourse and some of the large department stores. While this complex is far from finished, a release is scheduled by the end of the month which will include the elevators, escalators, and basic layout of this portion of the mall. The elevators in the east concourse of the mall share many similarities of the elevators at the (future) neighboring Palace Tower.

The Palace Grand
Shaftwork has begun on the mall elevators which includes passenger elevators, service elevators, and freight elevators. This east concourse was built in the mid to late 90s which will include elevators represenative from that era. The central corridor will include original elevators from the 1970s.

Is this from when the mall was renovated? I think you said this is around 2007.
This is a completely different mall. Unlike The Echelon Mall, The Palace Grand is fictional.

Do you have plans for floor 107 of the Sandy Spire? Currently, the floor is empty, but somehow still served by public elevators (namely elevator bank 6).
I plan to finish The Sandy Spire eventually. The only work that is left are the top floors, roadwork, and service areas. However, at this time I am only working on The Palace Grand.

Dillards
Sears
Neiman Marcus
Saks Fifth Avenue
Central Concourse
Boscov's
Macy's
To be determined
West Concourse
Nordstrom
JCPenney
Bloomingdales

What elevator brands can we expect to seeThere will be a mix of several different elevator brands as this is a large complex with different stores. This is the newer wing which dates to the mid to late 90s. The irony is that the newer wing will be finished before the older wing. I haven't finalized a design for the west and central concourses, but the layout of east concourse (newer wing) will not be changed much further. It's not set in stone yet but it will be a mix of Otis, Dover, and Schindler elevators in this portion. I lost the plans for the entire mall, so at this time I am only working on the East Concourse which runs from Neiman Marcus to Sears.

yep,its largest in skyscraper by a very significant margin,not sure about IRL(think there are complexes with 10k rooms,not sure tho)There are complexes with over 10,000 rooms but The Sandy Spire might be larger in square footage. The rooms are very spacious compared to most hotels.

Good. Also since you're about done with Sandy Spire, will you integrate that build on the same load out with the Palace Tower? I believe you planned to build a footage bridge between those 2 structures?The connector bridge for The Sandy Spire will be added after Milestone 3 and a new landscape map will be created to include The Sandy Spire, The Palace Tower, and The Palace Grand Mall.

This is a status update for the three current projects being worked on now
The Sandy Spire Milestone 3
Completion by the end of January 2025
This will be the final development version of The Sandy Spire. The building is nearly complete and adding much more detail will make memory usage too high and loading times even longer. Version 1.0 will come after Milestone 3 with the remainder of the areas being finished. Beyond this, will only be bug fixes or texture improvements.
To-Do List
- Data integrity check
- Additional signage
- Bug fixes
Echelon Mall Milestone 2
Completion by the end of January 2025
This is the first update in over three years. Many bugs are fixed and greater details have been added. Ongoing development will take place as more research and information is discovered.
To-Do List
- Data integrity check
- Bug fixes
Twin Towers Milestone 7
Completion by the end of January 2025
This is a minor update which includes framing in the skylobbies and the addition of an additional stairwell transfer. Other improvements to the lobbies and skylobbies will be made in a future version.
To-Do List
- Data integrity check
- Bug fixes

It would be nice to also create an Elevator Directory for The Palace Tower and Sandy Spire, which can be a bit difficult to find due to the large number of elevators.
It's a possiblity, but that takes out the fun of finding them

Echelon Mall
Directories have been added throughout the mall. Exact locations for inline tenants will not be added until later because more research is needed to find the most accurate stores for the time period.

Oh, that looks wonderful! Will it have glass elevators and service elevators in the mall service corridors as well and not just the department stores?
Overall, elevators are actually being removed because half the mall was torn down. The elevators in Boscov's and Macy's stayed. A Schindler HT 330A elevator was added outside of Macy's to provide direct elevator access to the mall. I don't intend on adding any elevators that aren't actually there.

This isn't a stupid question at all! Yes, I have previously worked on the 2007 version as well. Once this version is closer to completion, I will fork it off into the modern version. Here are some screenshots from an unfinished version from a few years ago.

Wow, I was waiting to see that. How did you get the code to carry the function of that many objects?
Each set of sliding doors has five lines of code. The first line performs the cut, the second and fourth lines are texture overrides, and the third and fifth lines actually create the door object. This process is repeated for every hotel room facing east, north, and south.

Ramps have been added connecting the west service area to the underground parking levels. This serves as the employee parking entrance. Due to the functions of Skyscrapersim, it is unclear at this time if the balcony sliding doors will be included in the next version.

By the way how do you get high FPS in the skyscraper simulator game?
You can edit the skyscraper.ini file and change the line that says "Skyscraper.Frontend.Vsync" to false. Normally the FPS is locked to your refresh rate, but that options turns it off, so you'll get maximum FPS.

By the way how do you get high FPS in the skyscraper simulator game?That depends on the monitor refresh rate. In most cases, 60 is the highest FPS that will show.

What new installation version of skyscraper alpha can you run?
You'll need to go to the main page and download the development version of Skyscraper, since you're using the older Alpha 11 release. The buildings should work with the Alpha 12 version.

Random thing I found. I know you said you were done with the Palace Tower. I did find missing elevator buttons for the lifts in the Aux Parking Garage. Its buttons 3 and 4 for each elevator. Was that done due to odd floor labelling or a bug?

Saw your YouTube video on Milestone 3. That is very impressive with the South Tower observation decks. It's getting closer to looking like the real thing. Do you know if Twin Towers 2 was supposed to have something similar?
I wondered if elevators 105 and 106 in the South Tower of Twin Towers II are for the rooftop observation deck, since the South Tower has two more elevators than the North Tower (which has 104 elevators) for Twin Towers II.
That is correct. Those extra elevators are for the observation deck. The observation deck for The Twin Towers II will be larger than the original and have the addition of elevators.

Nice. I wonder how many of these textures and models on the South Tower resemble that of the ones on the Palace Tower observation levels?

That's pretty accurate. How were you able to get placement on the theater and gift shop? I didn't see them listed on the blueprints. Also I mentioned Roblox as there are functions you can program on it, i.e. running movie theater and restaurants that aren't programmed on Skyscraper Sim.

Twin Towers
A maze of walls and doors have been constructed on the 107th floor of the South Tower. With all of this detail loading times are a bit longer now. It now takes 50 seconds to load 2 World Trade Center in Skyscrapersim. All work is completed for the North Tower in this version. The main area of work for the rest of this versions is floors 107 and up in the South Tower.

I think this version of the towers in Roblox is the most realistic despite it being unfinished and only featuring the North Tower. Still though, the stairwells, escalators, and elevator placements are mostly accurate. Only the lower third is completed though.
Post by: Skyscraper Simulator Showcase on January 17, 2024, 11:59:15 am
Looking forward to Milestone 3. Always been fascinated with the towers. Your version is the best I've seen by far. Although I've seen some decent incomplete versions on Roblox
I've seen those Roblox versions too. This is likely the most complete simulation of the Twin Towers in any simulator. The Roblox and Minecraft versions are often hollow except for the major floors. It's not possible to accurately recreate The Twin Towers in Minecraft without elevator mods. Many of those Minecraft builds are also not to scale even though the newer versions allow for higher height limits. With fully working elevators and escalators, this is by far the best simulation of The Twin Towers.

- Stairwells
- Building core
- Add Car #104
- Data intergrity check

Stairwells have been added to The Twin Towers II. Unlike the original version, the walls and stairs are made of solid concrete. The layout is also much simpler as an effort to not repeat the mistakes in designing the buildings with the worst egress in history.

Post by: Skyscraper Simulator Showcase on January 15, 2024, 10:12:26 pm
so,i was curious and i disabled only the elevators section from the Sandy Spire Milestone 1,and it loads so much faster(aside from the fact that the elevators arent there.....)
so,the loading performance is apparently held up in that section to an extent(im really thinking that Shaft cuts(and cuts in general) are a big performance problem in the simulator and probably should be looked into)
i was wondering whether you had been looking into this like i was,feels like something Eventhorizon could be of help with

The identical twins are no more! Adjustments have been made inside the towers for ceiling heights for the 43rd and 67th floors. Local zone adjustments and removal of extra stairwell transfers in the south tower have also been completed. Due to the flat roof, it measures three feet higher compared to real life.

Unlike the original The Twin Towers, The Twin Towers II have the core corridor accessible from both sides on the plaza level. It is much larger and brighter than the original core corridors. This serves as the entrance to WOTW(WTC1) and the observation deck(WTC2). Two sets of restrooms are located on this level of the core. The general layout of the service corridors has also been determined. Levels below the 76th floor will have the service corridors on the North(WTC1)/West (WTC2) side. For levels above the 76th floor the service corridors on the South(WTC1)/East (WTC2) side.

Work has started on the stairwell transfers for The Twin Towers II. There will be far fewer stairwell transfers when compared to the original tower. Stairwells E and F will transfer on the 76th floor. The rest of the stairwells are to be determined.

All of the escalators will be added in this version

So far both towers in this project have been identical with the exception of the antenna. That will be changing in version Milestone 3 with adjustments being made to differentiate the towers. The extra stairwells transfers are being removed from the South Tower, and the local elevator zones are being corrected in both towers according to the floor indicator schematic.

Also found Elevator Car 80 in both towers the button panel is on the wrong opposite side. It still works fine though. Figured you would want to know.
This will be addressed in the next version when adjustments will be made for the elevators

Oh yes I see. One thing I did notice from floors 46 and 47 by stairway C in both towers is a chuck of ceiling missing. I have a pic, sorry for bad quality. Were you planning something with this or is it an error?
This is a bug

Twin Towers II Milestone 1
The all service elevator (Car #103) has been added. It serves every floor except for the mechanical penthouse. It is more than double the size of its replacement in the original towers which was Car #50.

Stairwell texturing is complete for all stairwells. There are issues with the texture mapping. The code is correct. Please do NOT complain! I am still searching for a solution, though it is unlikely this will be fixed by the end of this week.

Twin Towers II Milestone 1
The first service corridor and office level have been created. There will be 8 dedicated(white doors) service elevators and 8 shared(gray doors) service elevators. The dedicated service elevators are used all hours, while the shared service elevators are shared with the express elevators to be used after hours.

Twin Towers
Texture mapping on the stairwells has been an ordeal! Due to this difficulty, the stairwells will not be finished in the upcoming release. Office levels are still being worked on.

Twin Towers II
Exterior panels have gone up, which finally encloses the structure. The redesign of the support system allows the windows to be much larger. Reinforced concrete perimeter pillars provide a much stronger structure without sacrificing much natural light.

The design for the BIG core has been finialized. The total elevator count in the north tower will be 104. The south tower will have 106 when completed. The number of stairwells have been doubled and additional dedicated service elevators have been added. The new service elevators are larger and mechanically identical to the express elevators.

Does Twin Towers II have more elevators than traditional Twin Towers?
The number of local elevators is the same. However, there will be a greater number of service elevators. This will bring to total elevator count over 100 unlike 99 in the original towers.

Okay here is the console log for Alpha 12 8/6/23 build on the loading of the simple building. Seems like the error loading the font textures (SignSans) triggers the other textures not to be loaded correctly in the script and revert to default material. My graphics drivers are up to date and it should list the type in the console. Can't figure out how to remedy this error?
The log shows that your system is hardware from around 2009, if you're using Intel graphics from around that time, that could be the problem, since the driver is probably very buggy. That might be why OpenGL is having issues for you too. What version of Windows are you running?

There are too many elevators in The Palace Tower, but the Service Elevator does not indicate the service floor for each elevator, which is inconvenient.
It would be nice to put signs indicating the operating floor in each service elevator.
At this point The Palace Tower is completed, after eight years I am ready to move on

I got the final Palace Tower build running on the Alpha 12 8/6/23 version using the DirectX 9 setting (The other settings don't work). In this pic though some of the textures don't appear properly. This happens with other buildings too. The textures are in the right folders and I don't get an error message. I have tried reinstalling it. Any other ideas on how to fix this?
The OpenGL setting should work, if you have the right graphics drivers installed. Also look at the log in the console window to see why the textures didn't load, it usually will say why, that log is also in the skyscraper.log file.

That's an issue with irregularities with the blueprints. None of the floor indicator schematics include SB1, yet some local elevator cars serve such floor.Why the freight elevators haven't realistic textures (except the buttons)? Also, you should rotate the escalators in the lobby to 180 degrees; see pages 209 and 413 in https://pacorpredevblobstorage.blob.core.windows.net/board-documents/uploads/documents/freedom-of-information/foi-fulfilled-requests/12673-WTC.pdf (I'm talking about the WTC)

The Palace has a minor issue with Stairwell E on floor 329 in which the door seems misplaced from its frame(see attached image)
The door openings for the WTC will be corrected once changes are made specifically for the South Tower in Milestone 3. As for The Palace Tower, the only further changes will be bug fixes. Thank you for reporting this issue. It has now been resolved in the latest download. Redownload the latest release.

He has it turned perpendicular to wtc 1 which is correct but he needs to rotate wtc 2 as shown in my floor plan attachment. The escalators from the lobby should be on the north end of wtc 2.
This has been corrected for Milestone 1. For most of this project towers 1 and 2 will remain identical with the exception of antenna. As the project progesses further, the south tower will be modfied with the changes made to the served floors of each elevator, removal of the extra stairwell tranfers, and observation deck.

What work is left except for lighting?Why is Echelon Mall On-Hold?
There is very little work left to do except for lighting. Lighting is still in early stages of development for Skyscrapersim. Once the lighting is improved in Skyscrapersim, the work on this building will countinue.
Just some stairwells and service corridors. The mall is nearly complete otherwise

Yep, I can barely run the Sandy Spire on my computer. Even the Palace Tower runs better. Although I would imagine similar slowdowns would occur if you added the mall and other towers to the wtc complex right?
Try turning off the mesh autocombiner by setting (at the end of the file) "Skyscraper.SBS.DynamicMesh.AutoCombine" to false in skyscraper.ini. That feature caused major slowdowns in the Dellerton Plaza building, and might cause issues in Sandy Spire (I'll do some testing myself probably today too).
Another thing you can try is look at the batch count, by pressing F9 and seeing the statistics window on the top right. The lower the number of "batches", the faster Skyscraper should run (higher framerate), since batches are processed on the CPU, not the GPU. So that'll tell you if there's a CPU slowdown, the autocombiner I mentioned was designed to try to lower that batching amount. Another thing to check is the triangle count in that window, if the count is way too high, your GPU will slow down and cause the framerate to go down too. In the Dellerton Plaza building, the autocombiner lowered the batch count, but made the triangle count way too high, and so the GPU slowed down a lot.
You can add other buildings to the WTC complex, and it shouldn't slow down that much, because Skyscraper turns off most of the objects in the other (inactive) buildings, to keep it running fast.

I'm not sure why The Sandy Spire runs very badly even on high-end systems. The Palace Tower is also an extremely complex building, but it runs far better. As more detail is added to The World Trade Center the loading times will be lengthed. I have not commited to adding the mall or other buildings in the WTC complex.

Can't wait to see it. Glad you are focusing on this project as it runs pretty well.
The loading times will slow down with the addition of textures and escalators. Still, it won't be anywhere near as bad as The Sandy Spire.

Twin Towers Milestone 1
Work has started on the next phase of The Twin Towers with realistic elevator textures. I'm not sure if this will be the final cab design or if the textures are dark enough. Nearly 300 floor indicator images were made according the schematics.

I did not get that same error on Palace Tower 3b and before on Alpha 10. Could it be that added parking garage?
It's not the parking garage. Elevator #167 is the new freight elevator. The floor indicator was changed to a more realistic Dover Impulse indicator compared to the previous version.

Palace Tower 3c wouldn't load for me on Alpha 10 but version 3b did. Was wondering if that would be made compatible again?
Nothing changed between 3B and 3C that would break compatibility. There must be something wrong with the Skyscrapersim installation

It will be compatible with the same version of Skyscrapersim as the previous version of this building. No changes were made that require a newer version.

Improvements have been made for the elevators in The Palace Tower. The cabs for the lower and intermediate residential elevators have made deeper to increase capacity by 50%. The office-residential shuttle elevators have been upgraded to double decker, increasing the capacity by 100%.

I keep getting crash reports for Sandy Spire and Palace. Maybe it's because I'm using an OGRE that doesn't support the server(s) or maybe it's the build I'm using, which is 1.12.
Can you send me the crash reports?

These are very large and resource demanding buildings. If Skyscrapersim hangs while loading the buildings, let Skyscraper take its time to load them.

I have run some tests trying to improve the performance and loading times for these buildings. I compressed most of the very high resolution textures between 50% to 90%. Unfortanely, this had zero impact on loading times and stability. I'm not sure what is causing the hanging and crashing.

worth the time spent loading to see this masterpiecetook me north of 10 minutes to load sandy spire,i cant imagine times are too much slower than that for even the best systems
That's about the same amount of time my system. These buildings are massive and the high quality textures take a long time to load.

I would use Alpha 11 but it doesn't have the 3D9 setting to work on either of my pcs. I got them both on Alpha 12 8/6 version although extremely slow and crashing.
What if I used Alpha 9? I know it would bypass some error codes.
Alpha 9 will likely not work. Both of these buildings work on Alpha 12. The loading times are long even on high end systems. Load the building and wait. Eventually, the simulation will load.

A final data integrity check is being performed to prepare for the next version of this project. A download will be available by the end of the week. Memory usage is high for some of the buildings. The Palace Tower uses about 6.5 GB, The Sandy Spire v4 uses 4.3 GB, The Echelon Mall uses 1.7 GB, and, The Palace Grand uses 464 MB. While the memory usage for The Palace Tower is very high, it shouldn't get any worse since the building is nearly complete.

That's not how it works pal, this forum isn't a place to cater to your every demand.Yeah - let me recap again (from what I said three months ago (https://skyscrapersimulatorforum.createaforum.com/integration-projects/skyscraper-simulator-showcase-megaprojects/msg4598/#msg4598)) that people need to realize that other users need time to work on their buildings, and each building is not a "one night miracle" that can be done in a short time. For me, if some buildings don't suit my expectations perfectly, I would just imagine that "whatever I expected" is inside those places without asking the creators much about it.
Back on topic: The current updates sounds nice, (to SS showcase) please take your time to work on them and ensure that everything runs perfectly.

Skyscraper Simulator Showcase, I've just mentioned on the palace tower apart from the Zone 8 Mechanical levels which are done correctly, the Zone 9 mechanical transfer levels should not be accessed via the Zone 8 high rise elevators on floors 278 and 279 which is correct and floors 318 and 319, could you possibly do those mechanical levels on 318 and 319 for me please? Also I wouldn't mind you changing some of the motor sounds to motorstart3.wav, motor running3.wav and motorstop3.wav on elevators 161 to 163 and 164 to 166 please.

Post by: Skyscraper Simulator Showcase on September 11, 2023, 11:54:26 am
Looking great.
Question:why did you choose not to have a skylobby in Sandy Spire?
The building footprint is large enough that there is enough space for elevator shafts all the way from top to bottom. Having a sky lobby would be an inconvenience in a hotel. Since the structure is so large hotel rooms on all floors up to the 105th will have direct access to the street level by using only one elevator bank.

I don't know if this will be a stupid/inappropriate suggestion or not. Since Sandy Spire is going to be mainly an entertainment complex, could there be a possibility of maybe adding a nightclub or even an arena to add to the entertainment venues? This is something I would suggest.
That's a great idea! I just don't know where these entertainment venues would be.
The idea is obviously to make Sandy Spire a top notch entertainment and hospitality facility. For the nightclub, if there is any available suite space, you could add it in there, and even make it two stories and add an additional elevator in there. For the arena, I would build it as a separate building but of course add areas around the property that will connect to it. I got this idea from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. I didn't meant to send this as a private message btw, lol. Hope this helps.
I might be able to fit a nightclub on the 107th floor
Not a bad idea, the restaurant and the club can be next to each other.

For the nightclub, if there is any available suite space, you could add it in there, and even make it two stories and add an additional elevator in there. For the arena, I would build it as a separate building but of course add areas around the property that will connect to it. I got this idea from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. I didn't meant to send this as a private message btw, lol. Hope this helps.
I might be able to fit a nightclub on the 107th floor

I don't know if this will be a stupid/inappropriate suggestion or not. Since Sandy Spire is going to be mainly an entertainment complex, could there be a possibility of maybe adding a nightclub or even an arena to add to the entertainment venues? This is something I would suggest.

It shouldn't be much harder to run when compared to the previous version. There are only 18 more elevators. When The Palace Tower and Sandy Spire are connected, that's where the performance problems may arise.

The auxiliary parking garage has been added back to The Palace Tower. There have been some changes to the south parking elevators in the main tower. The number of elevators has been expanded from four to six and these elevators now serve floors down to LL5. The panels have been widened to accommodate more floor buttons.

Skyscraper Simulator Showcase, What versions do you need to run Skyscraper Alpha to play in for the Sandy Spire Milestone 1?
Any version of Skyscrapersim since April 2018 will work with The Sandy Spire Milestone 1. Later versions of this building will require a newer version of Skyscrapersim once newer features are added.

Skyscraper Simulator Showcase, In the Sandy Spire Milestone 1 update, are you keeping the elevator that serves floors 87 to 90 or are you removing that elevator?
That elevator was only present in Version 2 of The Sandy Spire. It was removed in Version 3 when the tower was made taller. It will not be returning in Version 4.

Twenty stairwells have been created for the entire complex. Six stairwells run the full height of the tower, two more run halfway up the tower, and the other stairwells are for the base of the tower and convention center. The west building core has been created. Ten elevators and three stairwells are packed tightly in the core to maximize usable space.

i can sympathize with that desire,i sure as heck wouldnt want to go up that many floors in any vehicleJudging by the size of that humongous freight, I’m assuming the idea for it came from a museum in Texas?
Perhaps, the giant freight elevator is needed to reduce truck trips up 15 levels of parking ramps.

The new great hall has been rebuilt. The new great hall is around 200,000 sqft. compared to 80,000 for the previous version. This continues to process of significantly up scaling the size of these buildings. A monster-sized freight elevator has been added to serve the Great Hall and Ball Room levels.

New elevators have been added to the convention center. These are another custom installation by Dover. These elevators were originally going to be oildraulic and serve levels L, GH. and EH. Due to to the need of direct access to the BR level on the 15th floor, these elevators were made traction instead. Extra large Dover Impulse elevators are extremely rare. These elevators were inspired by the video below:

Do you have any plans to work on the Atlantis Tower? It is from the old June's Integration Project, and it is really unfinished.
If I ever do anything with it, it won't be anytime soon. I'm not sure what the plans were for finishing that tower. After I finish The Sandy Spire and The Palace Grand it is a possibility.

Reconstruction of the west convention center building has resumed with the larger footprint. The new great hall will be well over 100,000 sqft. compared to about 40,000 sqft. for the previous version. The floor indicator design has been finalized for the elevators. The new floor indicators are higher resolution, have a transparent background, and show the capacity of the car.

When would these have been installed? Impulse was disconnected around 2005 and Synergy was introduced in 2007. And the preceding ISIS model (produced 2003-2007) I’m not sure came in a hospital size variant, and it also only used a very specific set of fixtures.
Due to the lack of space for a machine room above, Synergy elevators were chosen for these shafts.
These Synergy elevators were installed by special order to match the rest of the elevators that were original to the building in 1999

It is The Sandy Spire. I do not intend on creating anymore elevators for The Palace Tower.

New ThyssenKrupp Synergy service elevators have been added on the east side of the tower. These service elevators only service the lower levels, which reduces the load on the main service elevators. Due to the lack of space for a machine room above, Synergy elevators were chosen for these shafts.

couldn't help but notice that in the file you say the palace tower was built in 1973,so,its 50 years old this year
pretty crazy
Yes it is 50 years old! To celebrate the building will be completed by the end of the year.

The central portion of the main tower for The Sandy Spire has been rebuilt for the fourth and final time! This building has gone through far too many revisions and redesigns over the years. First there was the Beno Building Creator version. Second, was hand coded with a 300 foot length base with 90 floors. Third, was hand coded with a 400 foot length base with 110 floors. Finally, this fourth version has a 660 foot base with 112 floors.

Directional floor indicator combinations have been added to some of the elevators. This is the first Dover Impulse combination hall indicator in Skyscrapersim! It was a chore to code! Time to repeat this process 70 times!That looks really nice. I never thought that this would be possible in Skyscrapersim.

More elevators have been created for the main tower of The Sandy Spire. The number of service elevators has been more than doubled compared to the previous version. The entire west side of the tower is taken up by elevator shafts. It is a big enough building, so there is still plenty of open floor space on the east side of the tower.

56 - 105 Hotel Rooms
55 Pool
54 Service
17 - 53 Hotel Rooms

Ooh. Will there be any skylobbies?
There won't be any traditional sky lobbies because all hotel levels have direct access to the ground floor without any elevator transfers. There will be a bridge on the 15th floor and a pool on the 55th floor, but no elevator transfer sky lobbies with the exception of the parking levels.

Elevators have been added back in the new version of The Sandy Spire. The number of elevators for each zone has been increased to provide enough elevators for the higher amount of traffic for the larger size building. The number of elevators in each zone for the lower half of the tower has increased from 9 to 12. For the upper half of the tower, the elevators per zone has increased from 6 to 8. The floor indicator text has also been fixed.

Really?, How are you rebuilding the entire sandy spire, but in that case, how many floors is this going to be for the rebuild of sandy spire milestone?
It will still be 110 floors like the previous version. The footprint is much larger now and the parking levels have been added. The problem with the old design is that it was too small because half the space in the tower was taken up by elevator shafts. Now that the tower has been expanded 100 feet in each direction there is now more floor space. Now only about a third of the space is taken up by elevator shafts.

I did find an error in the Palace Tower Milestone 3A. It's with the group of 5 local elevators on the 200th floor sky lobby. The numbered buttons are out of order and the button labeled "200" actually goes to "225" and lights up as this. Instead of serving intended floors 200, 225-237 it only serves 225-237. Does that make sense?
This issue has been fixed. Install this in the buildings folder

So what are you going to work on when this Palace Tower completes.
The entire east building will have to redesigned and rebuilt. It is not big enough for the number of elevators and shafts in the building. The parking levels need to be created too.

Cool looks very nice. BTW what are elevators 124 and 125? I couldn't find them visibly on the build.
Those elevators were used for the observation deck in earlier versions. They were removed later on
So what are you going to work on when this Palace Tower completes.
The Sandy Spire will be the next building I work on

Palace Tower Milestone 3A
The 40th Floor Big Food Court is now complete! It is twice the size of the food courts on the 80th and 120th floors. A large convention space has also been added to the north side of the 40th floor. Renovations have been completed for Zone 3 (82-117) offices.

The 40th Floor Food Court and improving signage are the only plans I have left for this building. Next time I will shift my attention to The Sandy Spire which I haven't worked on for several years. Eventually The Sandy Spire, The Palace Tower, and The Palace Grand will be connected.

Directional lanterns have been added to the rest of the elevators, which makes the elevators nearly complete for the entire building. As this building gets closer to completion the to-do list keeps getting shorter.

Skyscraper Simulator Showcase, There are some elevators that are invisible in the Palace Tower with no cab decoration, when it moves it's harder to understand the movement of the elevator, it happens from elevators 14 - 20, could you fix this issue before this releases slightly less than 30 June, also could you extend a floor onto the service elevators serving from LL5 - 338.
There are missing elevators because EG881 modified the design when designing the early versions of Sky I. Some elevators were removed and never repurposed. These non-existent elevators have no impact on this building other than the number of elevators. Removing these non-existent elevators would require major changes to the elevator code with no benefits.

Palace Tower Milestone 3A
All remaining office levels in Zones 1 (22-37) and 2 (42-77) have been fully modernized to match the style of the rest of the building. Zone 3 (82-117) offices have new blue carpeting, but otherwise remain unchanged from when I worked on those level previously. The office zones 1 and 2 were the last remaining levels in the tower with the original design aesthetic with the exception of the communication levels.

I have been meaning to ask you this and how it can be fixed. I receive a crash report for the palace tower on Versions 11 and 12. Alpha version 10 still works though. Here is what I get and how do I fix:
That's your Radeon graphics driver crashing in the text-to-texture system code. Alpha 11 and 12 use a newer version of Ogre. Try deleting your ogre.cfg file and start Skyscraper again, and choose the "OpenGL 3+" renderer instead, see if that works for you. The old fix was to use DirectX instead, but that's not working with the newer Ogre for some reason. You can also make sure your Radeon drivers are up to date.

Palace Tower Milestone 3A To-Do ListSounds nice.
- Renovate Offices on floors 22 to 77
- Update Designs for new floor assignments
- Add directional lanterns to more elevators
- Improve 40th Floor Sky Lobby
- Bug Fixes
Estimated Release Date: On or before June 30th
@June/SS Showcase: (https://skyscrapersimulatorforum.createaforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1) May I suggest that you lock this topic (and possibly clean up posts talking about LL10 many times) until you have some significant details to post? (I saw that this topic was locked a few months ago.) IMO, people should keep in mind that you need a lot of time to code and cannot always follow other people's suggestions.
For me:
1. I do enjoy your (and other people's) buildings, even though not all of them are exactly complete or configured to what I want, as I do think that people like to configure their buildings based on their own ways, and not everyone has time to code.
2. When coding a building, sometimes in the past I got annoyed when other users asked me about a building's specific stuff many times. I could discuss with this in a PM if you'd like to.

That area shouldn't even be accessible. It's not accessible unless using disabling collision detectionwhy this is even a problem in any way...
the new look for the skylobbies is awesome,and im super excited for the next release,you have been doing a utterly fantastic job,keep up the awesomeness
I just want the rest of the 3 service elevators extended down to LL10, included in the next release for the palace tower, to make sure there's no walls on the outside blocking it, i'm a very nice intelligent guy by the way.
It's not going to happen! Not from me at least. You're an intelligent guy that can figure out how to code and change it yourself!

I think it makes sense not to extend the other service elevators, just the freight. Are you going to redo the lower offices floors 22 to 117 same as the upper ones floors 122 to 157? Also noticed missing inside wall textures on mechanical floors 38 and 39 on the south side. Were you aware of that?Only just explaining, Yes i was aware of that because on Floor LL8 it looks like this[attachimg=1]
It just doesn't make sense at all, you can't get to the other side of the elevator shaft wall, it's blocked from the outside where you can't get through, that what's causing the problem.

I don't have any plans to modify the observation deck elevators any further. I don't want to change too much of the original elevator aesthetic.Okay, that's fine. Let me know if you change your mind.
Post by: Skyscraper Simulator Showcase on June 15, 2023, 07:17:01 pm
I'm only just explaining, i love your awesome palace tower milestone design by the way, the basement parking, the lobby, mezzanine, the upper parking, skylobby 1, skylobbies 3 to 7, food courts, diners and bars, spas, ballrooms, palace tower observation deck, zones 3 - 9 and the roof are awesome design apart from the communication areas, Zone 1 and 2 offices and skylobby 2 which needs to be improved.
Sky Lobby 2 on the 40th and 41st floors will be improved to be more similar to the Sky Lobby 3
Are you going to add elevator effects to the observation deck elevators? If you want to see an example of elevator effects, see EG881's TCIII V2. It has observation elevators with these "color grids" which change as the elevator goes up and down, and music is also played in addition to it.
Pictures of the example:

What about the wall gap fix opposite the parking garage ramp on LL1 and the far inland wall on LL1 and LL2? And I noticed the right twin core stairway from office levels 22 to 37 has a displaced wall blocking access between floors? I can send screenshots if needed.
That has been fixed for the next version

But apart from the freight elevator extension to LL10, why not you extended the other service elevators to LL10 the ones that serve from LL5 - 158, LL5 - 238 and LL5 - 338, it would be great then not to have gaps in the elevator shafts in the underground parking garage from floors LL7 - LL10, i know you extended the service elevators to LL10 that serve up to floors 78, please do this for the next Palace Tower update.
Is just something that I don't see necessary

Skyscraper Simulator Showcase for the next Palace Tower update, would you be able to extend the freight elevator serving floors from LL5 - 338 to the bottom floor LL10 and the other service elevators that serves floors, LL5 - 158, LL5 - 238 and LL5 - 338 all the way down to LL10, other than that can you extend another level of the freight elevator and the service elevators that serve from LL5 - 338 to the roof level 339 because the motor room for the elevators is on 340. That would be just perfect please.
I will extended the old freight elevator to LL10. It don't see any reason why to extended to others because this is not a high traffic floor.

Tertiary freight elevator? Which one is that? Most of the elevators aren't given any names beyond their IDs. And none of the non-passenger elevators have their type set to anything so it defaults to local.
The elevators will be refined in the next version of this building. The elevators will be named, signed, and the directional indicators will be fixed

you can go directly from any floor from 80 to 329 from that floor with very few elevator changes and im not sure any other floor other than the lobby and interconnection levels can truly boast that statistic
great job on the release,and also,that cafe on 275 is the most retro thing i have ever seen and i love it

What also needs to be done Skyscraper Simulator Showcase is floors LL6 to LL10 in the underground parking garage is unfinished, the service elevators from LL5 - 158, LL5 - 238, LL5 - 338 and the freight elevator needs to be extended down to LL10 from LL5 - 338 for each one and there's only a couple of staircases only goes down to LL6 in the underground parking garage which has gaps inside which needs to be extended to LL10. Also the office levels from 22 - 77 needs a bit of decoration just like the other office levels from 79 - 157 has really decorative interior inside which you did amazing but floors 122 - 157 were amazing decorated office levels, you made office rooms, doors which are really nice. so that's only the things you also need to do when this releases from 12 June - 17 June.
I will consider these options but I cannot promise they will be ready for the next version that will be finished next week. These features may be implemented in a later version

Hello skyscraper simulator showcase by the way you extended the underground parking garage to LL10 with the lower service elevators, can you extend them down to LL10 with the rest of the service elevators?
I don't see a reason to extend the other service elevators to such a low floor. These floors are mainly used for visitor parking. Besides some of the elevator machine rooms are in the way of the corridors where those extended service elevators would be.

The big parking garage on the north side will not be added back until the tower itself is fully completed

Skyscraper Simulator Showcase are you still keeping the palace tower division codebase when you've completed all of it?
This project is still being worked on, the codebase will remain divided even after it is completed. There isn't much left to do in this tower so I don't expect to have many more versions of it. I will be releasing an update later this month and another one after that. By that time, this building should be completely finished.

Palace Tower Milestone 3
The food courts on the 80th and 120th floors are now complete! The 160th floor food court has been renovated to match the same style as the food courts on the lower levels. Signage has been added throughout the building to improve navigation. I have decided not to build the spa on the 160th floor. Instead, it will be built in the 200th floor in the north side of the building where there is more space. The 160th floor space will instead be used for indoor/outdoor dining.

Wait, how a mall will have 100 elevators?If I were to guess, it's from loads of passenger elevators with multistory anchors and parking garages and maybe non-mall stuff. Maybe a hotel or office building.

Hi, I am receiving a crash on The Palace Tower:
https://imgur.com/1pPblKd
It might have something to do with the new build of Skyscrapersim, because I didn't experience this issue on older versions.
I had to make some changes when converting to Shaft/Stairwell code over to the Levels design, it's now more strict about some errors in the scripts. Scripts that have errors like these are actually somewhat broken.
Post by: Skyscraper Simulator Showcase on January 07, 2023, 11:24:02 pm
There are some texture glitches with the trees and chandeliers, though the building is now in a working state

The June folder is missing in the latest release. And the September R2 link no longer works
The June folder was removed a long time ago. These new buildings use a different folder structure, so the old folder is no longer needed or included.
Ohh I see now. I just found out that I was having an old version of this building lol
If you would like to view the older buildings, make a copy of the "S3" folder and rename it to "June". Most of the data should be there and work
Ok, thanks! :)

Some of the recessed lights througout the building have been replaced with new square recessed lighting. These new lights are much more modern and a better fit for the design. Dumbwaiters have been added to the restaurant and kitchen levels on the 327 and 328th floors. A staircase has also been added connecting the kitchen to the dining area. The stores on the 161st and 201st floors have been reconfigured to accommodate the movement of the freight elevator that took place last year. The old code for the old layout has been removed, simplifying the codebase.

It will probably work. The memory here is a bigger concern than the CPU. To load this building your computer should have at least 4 GB of RAM.

Palace Grand
Skyscrapersim's Premiere Shopping Destination
(https://i.ibb.co/VJJFfsV/skyscraper-06012022-231045009.jpg) (https://ibb.co/344xgn1)
When completed, The Palace Grand will be 4.3 Million Sqft. and will include ten anchors, nearly 100 elevators, along with hundreds on in line tenants. The mall will feature unique architecture and design which blends old styles with the new. There will be influences from malls built in the 1950s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and modern day malls. Unlike my prior mall project, this one is fictional. That means that the possibilities are endless. While the project will not be fully complete until next year at the earliest, it will be developed in phases. Phase I of The Palace Grand will be made available later this month and will include the eastern concourse of the mall along with Dillards, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Sears. This mall will be much larger and more modern compared to my previous project.

I recently re-downloaded the project again and realized that the movement, start, and stop sounds for the big freight elevator was not playing. Did you recently take this out, or is it that I have not downloaded properly. The first time I downloaded this a few months ago, the sound was working, but now it is not.Beno's sounds were removed from my downloads due to copyright reasons. Those sounds can be found on Beno's website.
That I know, the problem I'm having is that there the sound that wasn't working in the big freight elevator that goes to floor 238 was working in a previous download I had of the project, I don't know if it's that I did not download it properly or if you did a recent update.
I think I know what the problem was, before I was using the G1DP and it included that sound, but now I downloaded it with the G1DP, the sound is in my data, but it still doesn't work. When was the last time you updated your IP?

As for the new project, it will be a fictional mall with real anchor stores from various locations. It will utilize the divided code base from the start. At 4.3 Million Square Feet, this mall is much larger than the previous mall that I have worked on. The first release should come within the next two months. However, only three to four of the ten anchors will be open.

State of the Project: October 7, 2021
I have decided to work on a completely new building from the ground up. This new building will be a combination of fictional and real buildings. It will be an addition to The Palace Tower. I have decided to not post any pictures of the building at this time in order to create speculation and interest.
Will it consist of hotel space?
No, the space will only consist of retail and dining.

Extreme MEGAProjects
Welcome Back!Skyscraper Simulator Showcase has brought many innovations to the Skyscraper Simulator project. Skyscraper Simulator Showcase Project was the first integration project to include realistic swimming pools, escalator sounds, chandeliers, palm trees, and traffic signals. Skyscraper Simulator Showcase Project also includes the tallest fully accessible building every created in Skyscrapersim. This project has been in development since Summer 2015.
Buildings Under Construction
Pyramid Plaza
Pyramid Plaza is the largest Pyramid built in Skyscrapersim offering a unique design with great amounts of space. With 60 stories and millions of square footage of space, over 50 elevators are needed for vertical transportation throughout Pyramid Plaza. Pyramid Plaza has the largest collection of Montgomery Vector Elevators of all time! Parking garages are planned for future versions along with integration into a city map. The first public version will be available by the end of September. These updates will also include new textures and a full set of Montgomery Vector fixtures and cabs.

The Sandy Spire v4
The Sandy Spire is a largest resort built in Skyscrapersim with a convention center. There are over 4,000 hotel rooms! With 112 floors, 120 elevators, and 20 stairwells this building is monster sized! Built during the late 90s, construction of The Sandy Spire was the largest elevator order for Dover, it would also be Dover's last order and elevator installation. This building is near completion.

The Echelon Mall
The Echelon Mall (now Voorhees Town Center) is located in Voorhees, New Jersey, a suburb of Philadelphia. This particular mall is based off of a true story along with its design and blueprints. It has been created to scale in Skyscraper and aims to be the most realistic mall in Skyscrapersim. This simulation aims to recreate the mall in the state it was in during the late 1990s.

Twin Towers (Realistic)
The Twin Towers of The World Trade Center were 110 storey towers located in lower Manhattan New York, New York USA. Using an innovative tube design allowed for open floor space with the structure being supported with the perimeter walls and core columns. These towers were destroyed during the September 11th Attacks on September 11th, 2001. This project aims to recreate a realistic model of the towers in the state they were in the 1970s.

Twin Towers II
The Twin Towers II are a modernized redesign of The Twin Towers with many safety and design improvements. Starting with a solid concreate core, The Twin Towers II are much stronger than the originals. Doubling the number of stairwells and building elevators shafts of concrete further improve the design. Higher ceilings and larger windows allow for much more natural light which further modernizes the design.

Completed Buildings
The Palace Tower
The Palace Tower, built in 1973 has a huge development project, is currently the tallest building in the world at 4401 ft. Just like the World Trade Center. With 350 floors, 15 million sqft, and over 170 elevators, this is the largest and most complex building created for Skyscrapersim. The Palace Tower had an open floor plan with the columns in the core and the exoskeleton. The design is inspired by the Sears Tower but at a much larger scale. Due to the size and height of the building outer curtain walls were not possible. Also hurricanes could easily break the curtain windows. This building is based off the original version of Sky I by EG881. After 11 years, this building is now completed!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does The Palace Tower crashes Skyscrapersim when attempted to be loaded?
A: The Palace Tower is the most resource demanding building created for Skyscrapersim. It can use up to 6 GB of RAM. This building will crash 32-bit versions of Skyscrapersim because 32-Bit programs cannot allocate that much memory. If Skyscrapersim becomes unresponsive while loading, let it sit for a few minutes to work.
Q: Why aren't escalators appearing in the buildings?
A: ObjectPlus may not be installed. ObjectPlus is included in the latest version of escalatorgeek881's Integration Project. The latest build of Skyscrapersim is needed in order for this to work properly.
Q: Why are some elevator sounds missing?
A: These sounds were not included because I do not have permission to redistribute them. These sounds were created by BENO. He explicitly stated that his content cannot be redistributed. BENO's content can be downloaded from his website.
Q: Why are the texture errors?
A: This may have been installed improperly. This project was thoroughly tested on a clean install of Skyscrapersim with zero errors.
Q: When is the next release?
A: Announcements for new versions will made made as work on this project progresses.
*The Palace Tower is the completion of the original version on Sky I by escalatorgeek881. I have received permission from EG881 to modify and redistribute this building
**Versions June 2025 R1 and later are actively supported
