Power Line Set 1

 

This pack contains five powerline poles (straight, diagonal, left turn, right turn, start/end piece) plus two extra powerpoles. These powerpoles are only eyecandy and they can't transfer power likle normal powerlines do. Thus, these powerlines can make your city more realistic.

 

Note: Because of how BAT models work, you can build them only on perfectly flat land and they must be 8 (orthagonal) or 5x5 (diagonal) tiles apart. If you demand a version without lines, please comment and I'll make one.

 

Dependencies: None

 

Update 4 October 2008: Added Double Height Pieces

 

Enjoy!

Great work! Always hate the red and whites, the only time you see such powerlines here is around airports etc so these will indeed add some great realism to utilities!

This is very realistic. It even includes diagonals, which is a huge plus in my opinion. Good job!

If you make the lot as long as the cable, and added a transparent texture they would conduct power, although must be kept on a flat surface. There is a tutorial somewhere in the forums on how to make textures transparent with ilive reader (& it works!) Great models by the way, very realistic!

I see that a transparent base texture is requested some times. I think I can add a transparent set to the pack. And it looks like the pole is too short for elevated networks. I'll add a double height piece next update, which will be up in a few days. Thanks for the feedback!

Don't use a transparent base texture, they cause bugs... trust me. You're better off just removing the base textures all together in the reader.

Can you make a wire connection from the double height transmission tower with the short transmission tower so, it can go over elevated transit networks?? It will be very nice to have the wires connected with the tall piece and and the short piece of the electric tower.

Great transmission tower mate. You but have a asortment of different towers that gives people great control over towers they want in the cities and towns they design. But in the end who can complain about these.

where did you get the toll booth(on the left) and the 6 lane highway(on the right) from? Those would be neat to have.
