Underpass technique (no mods or parks)

[FourWinds 29]

I was looking around you tube and found a Japanese guy with an interesting technique and great background music.

Insane, I am going to try this, slow and tedious process right now.

Cant seem to do it.

I've managed to make it work, but I found it a lot harder than the guy in the video. I have a feeling that tapping shift sometimes helped with the downward angle; that may be my imagination though. I think it's quicker for me (unless I get as good as the guy in the video) to use Pygma's file editing and swapping technique that can be found in the modding section here.

I could get the SLIGHTEST angle. Then when it would proceed it would give me an EXTREME up or down angle that could not be solved. At one point I had a very bumpy Avenue but could never get the overpass to work.

 

His Icon was black, I am not sure what that means unless it is a simple setting. I tried shift clicking and different paths other than straight but nothing seemed to work.

That opens a whole new way of thinking for second and third cities in a region.  Needs $$$ to make it work, but oh so many great uses.

I have managed to recreate this person's whole process the only thing is that I can't get the tunnel at the end to work every time. It's seems to me there is a precise plop, that I have jet to find. Found it and it worked only once. Failed to recreate making the tunnel.

How did you get it to work? Any particular technique?

[FourWinds 29]

I just tried to get the tunnel working and had no luck at all. I can't even get the first technique working anymore! After 20 minutes trying I gave up and used a Pygma overpass (even though he says they're height optimized for a certain region, Mod_Overpass2 works fine for a quick solution for me at sea level) to get the same overpass ultimate result in two minutes. This is far too fiddly for me; after trying for twenty minutes I want a drink.

I discovered the underpasses by sheer accident over a month ago by sheer accident.

 

So this is nothing new to me.

to have 1 accident be sheer is something but 2!!!

 

wow at least you didn't compound your error with a smarmy self centered egotistical statement to end the post.............. oh dear

 

unlike the above FASCINATING AND WORTHWHILE post id like to express my gratitude for posting this as i wasnt aware this could be done, will try it when and if i can play the game again without constant crashes and rollbacks

Look at perablenta's post on terraforming with roads before you try it. The shift key is important and his video is in english.
