RFY Elevated Rail Viaduct Set by pLynn

The RFY Rail Viaduct Series - based on DocRorlach's monorail models - contains seventeen lots for the NAM Elevated Rail System. These can be combined to cover the default NAM viaducts. The size of the total download is due to the HD rendering of the models.

Included are:

  • two on/off ramps;
  • on-slope left/right lots;
  • a railway station;
  • several 1x1/2x1 lots;
  • left/right bridges over avenues, streets, roads, and rail tracks.

All lots are off-set, do not contain base or overlay textures, and only the railways station features jobs. The set is intended for the more grimy industrial/ghetto areas but could be used anywhere.

Optional: Players who want the uncovered NAM viaducts show the same dark brick (dirty brick) texture as our viaducts need to download the RUM for RRW (latest) by rivit and you need to choose to keep/use the F_Viaduct_Style_Dirty_Brick Option.
(Follow the proper install instructions of the RUM for RRW mod, but you need to keep the F_Viaduct_Style_Dirty_Brick_Model.dat and F_Viaduct_Style_Dirty_Brick_Rail.dat files).

WMP/RFY Dependencies:

External Dependencies:

  • SHK Parking Pack
  • Network Addon Mod (latest) - well without NAM you don't really have the elevated heavy rail option, so you need that one. Although, bear in mind, that these viaducts are only compatible with the L2 ERRW (dragable elevated rail viaducts) or the L2 (15.5m) Rail Viaduct Puzzle pieces. They are NOT compatible with the L1 (7.5m) ERRW.

Installation: Unzip the whole bundle, or COPY the "RFY" folder from the *.zip into your plugin folder. You don't need to keep the "_Documents" folder. To uninstall, bulldoze any instance of this lot in your city, then remove the file(s) from your Plugins.

For further details, please read the provided readme AND IF you still have questions, ask @Tyberius06.

Yes very cool indeed! And yes I agree with Bipin, a concrete texture would really be great too.

Although I will not use them (too big a file for my Plugins), I think these are just tremendously beautiful and well done. Excellent! ;)

Awesome, can't wait to see this in concrete!

@Motina - well, there are a lot of ways you can use this lot, ie. NAM elevated rail viaducts, electric rail, monorail, etc.

i cant seem t omake it work. hte track doesnt appearon the viaducts or ramps
[/quote]
The track does indeed appear on the viaducts - but you have create elevated rail using NAM puzzle pieces first, then use pLynn's viaduct covers to hide the the original NAM viaducts - these are covers, not transit enabled lots (except for the stations)
