Elevated Railway (Offline Only - replaces maglev)  1.0

About This File

I've been working on this one for weeks, but it's finally here; the elevated railway based on MaxisGuillaume's 'Maglev as Subway' mod (https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/29428-maglev-as-subway/). This mod uses the maglev network to create a Chicago/New York style "EL-Train" with tracks and stations that can be placed above roads.

 

Can I still use the maglev?

Yes, this mod exists as a completely new network - however, due to how the game is implemented, the EL-train vehicles replace the default maglev ones. So, you can still build the vanilla maglev tracks and stations, but the vehicles that will travel on them are EL-Trains.

 

Can I use this in combination with MaxisGuillaume's Subway?

Yes - while this mod is inspired by his, it exists as a completely separate entity, although just like with the maglev, the new EL-Train vehicles will travel on the paths - of course, in case of the subway this might actually be preferable if you want a more realistic subway. For the time being you can't connect the two networks together yet, but I'm planning on making this possible.

 

(Many thanks to MaxisGuillaume for helping me to get this to work)

Looks amazing! Two questions, just to clarify:

 

  • Is CoT required for this mod to work?
  • Do i need to research the Maglev at the academy or is this directly accessible from scratch?

 

Thanks for the hard work and labour! It's definitly one of the best mods for SC2013 i've seen around.

Could you do it without COT ? Because I want to use this mode but I don't want to buy COT... I hate the futuristic style... This not worth the money for me  :S
