V2 VS V1
- I discovered in the game that there were too much bikers on track. The main difference between V2 and V1 is here : in V2, paths « A » show no bikers, while paths « B » show some. Therefore they become mandatory and are not located anymore in a separate folder.
- Unless two of them, there are no more « No markings » paths. They show a dash line instead.
- Trees and planters are featuring Props Families.
- Light poles have a better location on some lots.
Except these differences, all lots remain the same. Therefore you cannot install V1 and V2 at the same time, you would get all lots in double. To avoid confusion, V1 is not available anymore.
NOTE : Pictures have not been updated.
STRUCTURE
Usage
Bike track at the botton, sidewalk at the top, it’s primary designed for a « street side » use, but it can also be used within a neightboorhood without problem.
Paths « B »
Most useful paths (straight and diagonal) are duplicated in « B » version. As said above these lots are the same than « A » version, but with bikers on.
Open Addons
Open addons can be used anywhere on the track, but they are primary designed to be used in combination with an open path, on the left or right side equally. Their continuous line will perfectly match with the dash line/crosswalk of the open paths and the whole will respect lines and markings in use in real life.
Tee and Cross Addons
You will need these two addons to get arrows in the proper way and at the proper distance from the crossing.
Diagonal paths
To cover all possible combinations, I should have done 24 lots ! I did half only (the most useful ones), so sometimes it might occur that you cannot use a diagonal path.
Bus Stop and Bus-Subway Station Addons
Usually the bike track stays at the bottom of the lots. You will need the converters (WLB076-WLB077) on the left and right side of the bus stop or the bus-subway station to connect them to the main track.
You also have an optionnal bike shed (WLB075) intended to be placed on the other side of their crosswalk, and an inverted straight path (WLP078) with the track at the top of the lot, for a whatever use anywhere it might be useful. See dedicated picture for better understanding.
Commercial Lots
WLB098, WLB099 and WLB100 are providing CS$$ Jobs. These 3 lots need road access. Other lots in this subfolder remain « eye candy » and can be plopped anywhere in the city with no need for road access.
INSTALL
1 - Expand the zip file. You get a folder named « PGX - WLB White Line Bike Track V2 (Transport-Misc) ». Drop it as it is in the « PGX – THE THING » folder. Open the chapter subfolder. Sort it by alphabetical order.
In subfolders, each lot is separated and has an ID under the form « WLBxxx » for its identification in subfolders and to figure its order of appearance at the bottom of the Transport-Misc menu. You can keep all of them or pick up what you want and delete the others or store them appart for later use. Use pictures as catalog, numbers are matching with IDs.
