Dont think i have posted on this thread before but i have been reading attentively!

Im loving these lots, altho i have never made a sunken highway before i was tempted today.

I tryed and failed. this is what i have got so far

Corners.jpg

The Red is what im hving a problem with, But as i have just read u will release a diginal beta later, so sorry for wasting ur time on that, The green. (green right) i may be using it upside down or not how its ment to be used but why is there fences on some and not others? (green left) why is there no texture like there is on the other wall lots, eg the little grey square that looks like it goes under the highway?

The blue i used my own 1x1 filler here, but maybe u should make a 1x1 filler with some textures? rather than me use my 1x1 that doesnt lookj right?

well there is my questions.

Also, how the fek do u make junctions, when i had ago this is what i got.

Junction.jpg

the land raised, and when i placed the beta overhand only the top half of the wall showed, leaving a blank area. how do u make junctions to go with ur walls?

other than that the best on simcity atm!

well doen keep up the bril work!

Taz.

aaronperry, you are making it correctly,  it's just the rest of your sunken highway is too low.  Hope this helps and have fun cause they are great pieces.

Aaron,

Use the Single-sided Parallel Onramps from the NAM, not the Maxis Parallel Onramps. The Maxis ones have a slope limitation of some sort. The NAM Single-sided Onramps are puzzle-pieces and conform to the landscapes better. They can be found in the Highway Menu.

The link of the beta version you're talking about is dead...when it says download now, it brings you to a page not found22.gif...so where is it possible to download them now?42.gif

Another question...now we're talking about sunken highways walls but at first the thread was born talking about underbridge pieces...on STEX i found those pieces but they are just the straight sections from what i saw...and the diagonal ones showed in several pictures? 34.gif And also looking through the pictures in the thread there are many and many other pieces shown, but no one is anymore talking about them...are they going to be ever released or is a dead end of that project?15.gif

thanks for answering to my doubts

anyway you've made a really great job buddybud, keep on going!

Buddybud, your creations are just fantastic!

I was just experimenting with the multi highway trick and came up with an idea. I think it will be understandable when you look at the picture.

This can maybe be the next project...

Xilef.......YES if you get this to work then this probably will be the next project cause everyone knows it is ugly to split EL Highways,but it is cool to try that once in a while....but if we have something to mask the ugly parts then I think these will be used quite often,,,,

Unfortunately, I have a mac and since it seems impossible to bat/use gmax/use loteditor on mac I can't do anything (which is quite frustrating!).

But I hope someone else can get inspiration to start this project.

Well this isn't really under bridge stuff but I just wanted to show some custom stuff I made using buddybuds prop to cover the part between the highway and the nearest lot. I also used brickwall prop by agart, and made the base texture transparent. Some of NDEX billboards were also added. Let me know what you think

^ That looks like it would fit in nicely right in the middle of a dense city or a downtown. Personally I always hate having that empty space between the highway and the adjacent road/lot, and this looks like it does a good job to solve that problem. Also, if you made a version with higher brick walls, that would work great as a sound wall, which you usually see along highways in heavily populated areas.

    0000003alpha6nn.jpg

    heres a shot of the constructor lot im going to use....im at the moment trying to use the bsc menu management mod....and since i made a lot specifically for it lets hope i can figure it out

    0000001alpha0sq.jpg

    Don't worry Buddybud, I'm waiting patiently, like everyone else here, as it looks like this is well worth the wait. A question though: are the pedestrian bridges transit-enabled?

    GOOD LORD!! Those are incredible! The construction bit looks superb, and the interchange, spectacular.

    I'm sure the whole community will be very thankful when these are released.

    Keep up the wonderful work!!
