I'm confused yuppie. Y do u have 2 exits coming from the east to get to the hwy heading south?

 

Because the NAM RHW is limited and can be a real beach at times.


Dear sir/madam/whoever will read this!

This profile is now defunct.

Computer problems and issues with accessing my Imageshack account meant My SC4 CJ Scrapbook was lost and utterly irretrievable. This setback put me off SC4 for many months.

Apologies for the inconvenience and for the lost pictures.

But that SC4 itch did not go away and it had to be scratched! I have started afresh with a new account here- The British Sausage

The URS is a spiritual successor to the SC4 CJ Scrapbook.

With this update this will be the last time I visit my original Simtropolis account- admin/mods feel free to remove it or do whatever you need to do. I have no further use for the Ln X (BLANKBLANK) account.

 

With regards, Miles Saunders-Priem aka. Ln X aka. The British Sausage

    Might I suggest building a trench? That way you can build diagonally below and have a orthogonal overpass on top.

     

    Example. The trench is MIS but it could be RHW-4 or 6S.

    would make your junction look something like this:

    What's with all the rep points flying around in this thread?  All the sudden it's like someone posts a parclo and they get 40 points.

    Someone say Parclo?

    The trench couldn't fit in smooth RHW-4 curves given the area I have to work with, and I don't fancy ripping up large sections of the interchange to make space for smooth RHW-4 curves, it took about 90 minutes completing that interchange and I don't want to spend a minute longer as I have the rest of the city to build.

     

    But the next time I try a T-interchange I will implement the trench idea.

    A "busy" wide T-interchange with a freeway terminus near the CBD of an older city. One of these days I'll post a something that's not in fall/autumn.

    Awesome work! Yet, I have always wonder why those highway lights are scaled so. They look cool, but their scaling is so bad, they're taller than some of the mid-rises nearby! :uhm:

    I think majority fault is on the scaling of building, they are smaller than actual sizes.

    Although I do agree that the one mast is pretty big as shown below. I wouldn't want to use that 124m one...  :kitty:

    I think around the same height with the wind turbine is more logical.

    Are you keeping in mind that everything in SC4 needs to be 33% taller than real life? Even then, those things are still insanely tall. In comparison, L4 in the RHW is only 30 meters above ground level (and that's already with SC4 height scaling), and there are 40-meter light towers available on the STEX.

    dang it I keep forgetting that step... I wrote it on my wall still keep forgetting that... =X

    most typical mast seen around should be around 30m-40m height.

    Where'd you find that big-ass telemast? I need it! O_O

    Well, looks like you figured it all out correctly, because that's a neat interchange! It looks very natural and realistic, too.
