Show us Your Interchanges!

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

As of that Sinkhole to China Bug

That has happened to me too. I think it's because of uneven terrian. Anyways, nice first start on interchanges, fonzey!

[fonzyfb73 39]

@Ganaram & NTM, thanks for the critiques! I'll try to make the curves smoother and hopefully get better!

[Wiimeiser 436]

since I can't get simcity4 to start with this disk (Wrong one maybe...) disregard the terrain.

How do you get the roads to split like that? I always end up with intersections...

(Yes, I finally managed to find a download)

Edit: Almost forgot!

...How do you get the roads to split like that? I always end up with intersections...

Page 136 onwards in the CityScape User Manual explains how to do it

[McDuell 301]

Wiimeiser, select one (or more) road nodes and checkmark the Merge/Split field.

While I'm at it, I might as well show some pictures of my new symmetric 5-way interchange.

Overview:

A closer look:

It's getting foggy:

Had a rummage thru my cityscape intersection pictures and found this

The interchange between Hwy 1(Going Top-bottem) with Hwy 6 going north-south:

[MandelSoft 2,769]

You might want to check your directions again. For instance, the cloverleaf ramp at the south-west corner doesn't go to the HWY-1, but instead you take a U-turn back on the HWY-6...

Beside that, why don't you just build a cloverleaf or a clover-windmill? Plenty of room here...

I'll fix that ASAP.

What's a clover-windmill?

[MandelSoft 2,769]

Looks a bit like this (a clover-turbine), but with tighter curves:

The advantage of this interchange in contrast with a regular cloverleaf is that there's no weaving, improving traffic flow, while the interchange is still relatively cheap. I created a rather large one in my region Schellingen-Stadt:

The profile could be at least 40% smaller, but you get the general idea

I hope this clarifies the case.

Best,

Maarten

Here is my first CityScape interchange (~20 mins, forgot to save )

Early morning commute:

Still working on a SimCity 4 interchange.

V1 of the West River Thruway(Hwy 50) and Mountain Island Tollway(Hwy 550) interchange:

Now:

(Whoops found a typo ).

Nice. Where did you get the RHW-2 FLUP's?

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

Nice. Where did you get the RHW-2 FLUP's?

They are at the back of the "Road viaduct over RHW" menu.

Another CityScape shot, a recreation of the M4/M25 intercange:

Nice Pictures...

Anyways, How do I download CityScape demo now PixelActive's Site is not working anymore?

Ditto re the pictures

Sniper296 has the pixelactive cityscape 1.8 autodesk promo version which came free on the last 3DSMax 2011 DVD, if you do a google search you should find it

[Gugu3 173]

Nice intrchanges Blue Lightning!!!I love the way you put together all the transitions and exit ramps pieces!!!great work!!!And about your first post...Is that a RHW 6s bridge?coming with the next RHW 4.2??

[catfriedrice 3]

Got my right disk back.

[ashley123 2]

Hey Guys awesome intersections (: this is mine not really an intersection but yeh xD

[Alejandro24 575]

How to do that... bridges? I don't know how to describe them. Anyway, how to do it?

Those are the FLEXFly curves, found in the FLEXFly RHW menu. They overhang so you can put them in awkward places where normal puzzle pieces won't fit.

[io_bg 249]

A couple of mine

Ah, I don't found the FLEXFly RHW menu. What should I do?

[jdenm8 362]

That explanation is a little bit wrong.

They're found under the RHW Wide Radius Curves menu (last item in the tab ring) and they're overrideable puzzle pieces. Essentially, it's a puzzle piece that you can drag RHW through to create many variations.

There is a new piece using the same theories coming in the new RHW, but it's not a FlexFly.

[Moonraker0 192]

I just spent the last hour or so making a cloverleaf that doesn't have any weaving. I just finished it and haven't started the city yet, so no high mast lights or trees this time.

[jdenm8 362]

Somebody finally figures out the full Cloverfold

I've had a tute on how to build that knocking around on my HDD for a while now.

[Srawldaddy74 17]

One of my big ones...I didnt put a lot of technical thought in to it. I knew I wanted to put a RHW interchange in my city somewhere and I just started to create.

This one is super simple. I got bored and built this one

And finally I needed some connectivity for my airport and took the easy way out...

Isn't having a roadway running directly under an airport rather dangerous? One car bomb could ruin your whole day.

I think those are quite common. In Zaventem ("Brussels Airport"), we have a tunnel under one runway, and some railway tunnels. Same in Paris, Charles de Gaulle, where highway A1 goes in a tunnel under the airport.
