Ground Rail to GLR

[SuperBeber 0]

Hi everybody,

i'm currently working on making a glr transit system in my cities, but i found one thing - i think - missing : i haven't seen glr to ground rail and ground rail to glr transition...

is that can be found somewhere ? i search in the stex and in the forums and never found it... is there a reason for that ?

thank you for your answer

SuperBeber,

The GLR system is the game's elevated rail on the ground. The elevated rail system is different from the gound rail so there probably won't be a connection between the GLR and ground rail.

Ok maybe you're right, but if you consider that there exist a ground rail to el rail transition, why can't be a glr to ground rail too ?

Might be a good idea to make a multi-transit (hub) station though.

I'm no expert, but I think you'd have to do a ground rail - el-rail transition, then a el-rail - GLR transition, as there's not a ground rail - GLR transition available.

Ground rail and ground light rail (GLR) are two completely different transportation systems, so there is no connector piece. Build a railway station and a GLR station next to it, and your sims will transfer from one train to the other.

Thanks for the answers guys,

i tried what you said, Jamie, a ground - el rail then el rail - glr transition, but it needs lots of space...

but i'm reconsiderating all the things, maybe i'll not do a glr transit system (because of bugs, and because it's slow, and because..... and because... and because.........)...

 

But thanks anyway everybody....

hey, i tried making it but i was unsucessful because of the tansit enabling in SC4Tool (no GLR tool thing)  i will still try but its doubtful that it will work.

Oh ok.... so good luck if you try again... and tell us about it !!!!

how do you change the pathing?

 

[Ramona Brie 121]

Create an SC4Path file.

[joeynymets 19]

Is there a program for it because this is the first time im hearing of that kind of file.

[qurlix 20]

There are lots of programs for it, but none of them are really complete for basic users. (Some of them have some very nice features but they really only work for people who already know how to make path files)

If you want to search for SC4PATH, I'm sure you'll find several results. Otherwise if you give me a day, I'll find some time to look up the width/coordinates of normal rail tracks and GLR (is it 2.5?) and make them myself. Then all you have to do is change 1 property and attatch them to your lot. Unfortunately my time is incredibly constrained, so I can't explain right now.

Couldn't you just create a 2x1 lot with one end transit enabled for GLR and the other end enabled for ground rail? I'll make one and put it on the STEX if anyone wants this. It's fairly straightforward. I just grab a existing tram station, fix it up, add new textures which change from GLR tracks to ground rail tracks and then make it so you can only change from GLR to normal train and vice versa (in other words, it won't work as a station but as a transition)

I tried that, it doesnt work

@lakeyboy: norbutt2001 released a set of GLR stations yesterday, and there are also a few that have several ground rail and GLR platforms. I think they could come in very handy for connecting the GRL to the ground rail network.

amazingly i did it,  yet UDI wont go through it and the tram or train disappears but all the passengers are transfered over.  Heres a pic:

I will play around with it a bit to see if I can get the trams to go through but if not I will still upload it.
