Show us Your Interchanges!

[AIX 270]

I wish Maarten would do another RHW seminar. You could benefit from his tips. Anywho, from what I see, there are 4 general directions that we have freeways going here. Why not a simple cloverleaf?

[MandelSoft 2,769]

I have to agree with AIX. Why such an ugly and overly complex solution? I bet there are way more simple solutions to design this interchange. Check the Chat Seminar Logs for my tips and tricks.

Best,

Maarten

It isn't an actual interchange I use. I just made it up for fun. My real cities have much simpler interchanges.

I just made this beauty. Click to enlarge... It is a very large image.

Well, i am finishing the half-ring bypass around Lenin'sk, the freeway goes throught the near suburbia, where there are major towns, like Fedorov. Since the construction of this interchange, the population boomed because of the good quality of transportation system. There's also a supermarket nearby.

Due the turning of the avenue coming from Lenin'sk going east, it was not possible to make one of the usual interchanges. I had to put my mind in this, actually it's the third interchange i make, finally one i love. I assure you sims can travel all ways possible .

Fantastic interchange AIX.

[jacksunny 741]

Some slope walls and lights would make that interchange perfect AIX.

A very odd interchange from my latest CJ update. It is strange because the road would go right through the highway(If the curve was bigger)

[Moskva 75]

Hay Nathan are you sure you're staying with the highways with two different colors? Looks a bit weird. Your interchange looks much like mines, i use a lot european ramps me too, but i make sure the main way goes over the freeway and another way begins going for the freeway... However that's just my style .

That's a texture glitch, i think caused by the draggable rail catanery mod I have, which i don't want to get rid of.

No; It means you have something missing; There's no way a rail mod can affect a highway mod, unless you accidentally deleted something in your highway mod when you were installing the rail mod.

Highways all over the western United States have a similar look due to variations in the quality and timing of maintenance and re-paving (all be it not as drastic a difference in textures as shown in Nathan's picture).

Below is a very busy thoroughfare in Thessaloniki. This is SW 24th Avenue with the M3. I am still deciding on what highway lighting I want to use.

I have just started playing sim city 4 again after 5 years. This picture is taken from my latest city.

[Moskva 75]

@ PDMX: Don't lie, you just played San Francisco region! Nice highrises there.

[PDMX 2]

Yeah, because I was too lazy to create or download a map after I finally got the game running without burning my CPU on my new laptop... I had so many performance, resolution and patching issues that I was just happy when it was running.

[jacksunny 741]

Nice city, I suggest minimizing the panel and turning off pause before taking pictures, it makes everything look nicer.

[Moonraker0 192]

I just rebuilt a partial cloverfold interchange in an old major city of mine, which I haven't played for a long time. Here is a picture of it which I took after its initial construction:

And now, the RHW 5-upgraded interchange:

Here's another shot of it, more zoomed out:

The only problem now is that the starter pieces on the type E entrances to the RHW-10 required the removal of two MIS smooth curves. But maybe there will be starterless ones at some point and I can fix that.

[AIX 270]

@Moonraker: Fantastic!

Below I have tried to re-create (er approximate) an interchange outside of Hillsboro, Oregon:

And the real one below. Any thoughts?

[MandelSoft 2,769]

Nice set of interchanges, AIX! I really like the one from Post #969. That one gets my Seal of Approval

[ee99 150]

Im not amazing at Transport or interchanges but I did this-

Do you have any tips to improve it?

[__A 792]

I thought Obyershire didn't take the money from MEAT Nice start though

[Timmystwin 201]

There are some very nice interchanges here, lots to get me inspired. I'll post what i have now that i think is out of the ordinary.

Compact DDRHW4 interchange that I actually like. (Bit too compact but ah well, can't have that and realism.)

And this Rail interchange of sheer brilliance.

Here is the Neapoli Interchange revised per input from that chatroom.

[simlink 1,098]

@AIX: Love it! It looks really nice, and like traffic would flow well.

Can you imitate this pic below??? I'ts a 3 level turbine

I see you did use the catenary lights wrong. They should be used like this: http://g.co/maps/6m93e In your situation, there's nothing that holds the catenary wires up

In this situation, I'd use some other kind of lighting, like lights on either side of the road, or some light towers.

Just my 2 cents

Best,

Maarten

[AIX 270]

Wow I had never seen lights like that before. I thought they looked odd in the game I shall update it again tomorrow.

@ alvinheriadi: That's nothing special, everyone can do that within 30 minutes or so with a good slope mod, and if necessary pencil and paper.
