Still, the scenery is beautiful and I like the interchange. It doesn't feel overdone. Very nice pic, Timmie

Okay, so that's not a RHW tunnel, I can see the transition. Looks like a OWR tunnel using the wrong texture...

You're right, it's an OWR tunnel using rivit's tunnel mod. There's a graphical glitch at some zoom levels, I should look into that.

    Oh wow, awesome work Timmie! Good use of the landscape too!

     

    I have a suggestion for one of your ramps... something like this:

    fto7dS8.jpg

     

    This ramp would be be much more direct, and fewer curves are required, making it look more realistic.

     


     

     

    Also, I made my first SC4 video in 2 months, and my first 'highway interchange'  video in more than half a year. Hope you enjoy it!

    Have you already replaced the original OWR tunnel model with rivit's fix ()? His first version had a rendering bug.

     

    You also seem to have the euro cosmetic mod installed which overwrites the default road tunnel model. If you want to use rivit's model for roads as well, you'll have to make sure that his tunnel mod loads after the 'z___NAM' folder (hint: the '_' character occurs after the letter 'z' in the game loading sequence) :).

     

     

    Btw, great interchanges @all.

    I already had that fix, but I must've lost it, somewhere along the road :P The loading order is no problem, it goes after all NAM components (z__RVT)

    Try putting all mods to be loaded after the NAM right into the "z__NAM" folder.

    It's been a while since I've made any unique interchanges(Mainly due to issues with the NAM), but tonight here's one I cooked up:

     

    Click the image to see a google maps image of the inspiration(Note, I tweaked mine to make it more suitable for an urban environment)

               The Cafron Department of Transportation (CDOT) have voted to construct not a 4 way, but 3 way cloverleaf. Contruction Of the Cafron 3-leaf cloverleaf of the future Cafron Highway and Glainular Way has begun, but won't be finished until, at most, 5-6 days. Please be patient. This cloverleaf will improve traffic time by 30 minutes. There will be delays at Glainular Way since Cafron Highway is under construction. Thank you.

    CDOT have confirmed that the interchange itself has been created. New road signs are scheduled to be put up. CDOT have also stated that more highway interchanges shall be created and more highways. Thank you.



    we are sorry if the CDOT highway expansion project causes any unfortunate events to occur.

    CDOT has plans to steal your blueprints. They also want to copyright the prints after we finish the interchange (hehehe)

    Joe: Nice use of clover-stack and turbine designs!

     


     

    I decided to make a high-res version of my first custom RHW interchange with NAM 31. Enjoy!

    This is not an interchange between two motorways per se, but an interchange between two major arterials with expected speeds of about 50 km/h. Avenida 4 de Julio is the large street with up to 8 lanes in each direction. I am looking to replicate something similar to this: http://goo.gl/maps/hLGew in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This large boulevard will be the apex of commerce and culture for the region. Local Sims will say "Everything is on Avenida 4 de Julio!".

    This is a CiM 2 one, but it's an interchange too.

    interchange.png

    (This was originally only between the expressway at the bottom and the expressway running across the picture, but I decided to link the interchange to the avenue and then this monstrosity was constructed.)

     

     

    EDIT: I also just realized there is no bus access to the avenue on the top from the expressway on the very bottom of the picture.

    Here is my first interchange using NAM 31.1, I had a go at creating a 3 level cloverstack with the arterial roads integrated into it.

    Joseskanunez: Holy crap, that interchange is pretty big! Also, when you want to post images in a reply, you can use the Image tool to post images from a link instead having to attach it to the post.
