About This File

This is a set of unwired power poles based on the Texas Steel V-Tower 345 kV double-circuit design, which is found in the U.S. state of Texas as the name implies (and as far as I know, nowhere else!).  It is one of the state’s most common pylon styles. 

In SC4, this is a set of 120 eye-candy pylons.  Don't worry; there are MMLs.  It includes “tangent” poles in the following rotations: orthogonal (straight along the grid), diagonal (diagonally along the grid), fractional angle 3 (FA3, or a rise of three tiles over a run of one), and fractional angle 2 (FA2, or a rise of two tiles over a run of one).  It also includes “s-curve” poles, which enable the lines to temporarily slide over by a small amount (typically one or two tiles) without changing overall direction.  Furthermore, the set includes “angle” poles, which enable the lines to change from one of the aforementioned rotations (orthogonal, diagonal, FA3, or FA2) to another.  There are also "dead-end" poles, which are useful for the starts/ends of lines.

Dependencies:

MTO P3 Models Vol. 1 is necessary because all of the models for this power line set are included in that pack.  Additionally, I would recommend at least the latest NAM if you’re going to use the fractional angle poles, as it is the NAM which contains fractional angle roads.

Well done they look great! More versatility/variety is sorely needed when it comes to electrical lots in SC4. I'd recommend adding another screen shot from the closer zoom just to get a better look at the details of the structure. :)

You really outdid yourself here. This clearly took a lot of time and dedication and I appreciate that. I very much appreciate the included MMLs.

These look lovely, and super nice you included FAR and S-curve. Also applicable to a European setting, and great modelling tops it off!
