Show us your...Intersections

[vortext]

Bipin also made some guard rails, not a mod though so you'll have to plop them alongside. Also, the filedropper links seems to be broken but iirc he later re-re-uploaded them to google drive but I can't find the link. In other words, dig through the thread.

Nice work Samerton! I always loved the look of those. If you're feeling extra ambitious you could do a version of the 6/8C smooth curved with those baked in

Great work everyone

@Catalyst - Very nice, I am going to need to copy this coming up soon. 

@compdude787 - I have actually come on and admired your latest post a few times and just do not know what to say. Great job fitting in all the right pieces.  Though I don't work with that high of capacity, it is quite helpful to see how the pieces can be used.

@isii94 - That's what I was thinking.  It's basically a truck stop town with tons of cheap land and no justification for a fancy interchange.

I am glad to see plenty of people still playing this game, and grateful for those continuing to make it a better game.  Keep up the good work everybody 

And while I am here a special thanks to Haljackey and MandelSoft whose YouTube videos finally helped me to understand how to play this game right.

If I don't remember bad, Bipin had in project to produce a guardrails set for Lots and T21, but was before summer.
Now I lost the page, here or on Simtropolis, where we talk about it, (Thanks vortext) but you can try to PM him to ask for the progress or if he abandoned it.

Lately I've been trying to build REALLY tight RHW interchanges. Here's my latest:



It's still massively overscaled for a dense urban core, but it's moving in the right direction! Even if it does look a little like a swastika.

[compdude787]

Awesome-looking turbine interchange! That is probably the most compact thing you can get with the RHW at this point. I bet a stack interchange would take up more space!

[Durfsurn]

Well this is what I have been doing recently. It gives a little insight into my next project for my MD as well . I did go against my general rule of not using those tight Pre-NAM32 transition pieces but I had limited space. I think it fits the area nicely. Further south there is a complex Volleyball/Roundabout Hybrid interchange of an expressway (East/West), a second expressway (further east North/South) and freeway (North/South). There a couple of missing links, namely you can't go northbound off the roundabout interchange continuing north but I figure most traffic will actually be heading North-West or East to the suburbs. It is also a medium sized mosiac and still clocks in at a tick under 4 MB (1333x1497) so warning there .

EDIT: I realise I can make that missing connection I mentioned just looking at it now, so it is fixed.

Great interchange Durf!!

A little tip: convert the internal MIS in NW-SE with RHW4, In the game functionality is useless, but it's more visually appealing.

Looks nice! I can't wait to see development in there! You probably should widen the freeway bridge across the river to RHW-6, because of the fact that traffic from three directions converges on that bridge. There is an L2 ramp piece for RHW-6S where one lane exits or enters the freeway. That way, you can have a weaving lane between the roundabout interchange and the one on the north side of the river.

Also, I believe there's an L2 MIS bridge, so instead of having to put the avenue go into another tunnel under the MIS, you can just have the L2 MIS go right over it and become a bridge.

Exciting project Durfsurn    I'll forgive the abrupt height transition as it took me forever to actually find it   (plus its not really you're fault there's no L1 flexfly yet). The roundabout interchange right next to the volleyball seems a smidge like overkill though. Is that Selous terrain mod?   

Alafel, great work     Certainly not "massively" over-scaled for an inner-city junction and not sure it's over-scaled at all. If anything it'd tend to have more parking or other stuff below it and more elevated ramps if it was more realistically inner-city and high-capacity. More merging lanes would be nice from my perspective. I'm just trying to resist the challenge to make a highway junction as small as possible as I think it would take a lot of my time but result in nothing any smaller than what you've been able to make

Yes while I can't wait for mor L1 stuff, I do convert that to L1 it will still require some rejigging. I the volleyball/roundabout mess, tbh I was playing around with something and it is unlikely to stay, however the East West road will remain expressway. Nope it is not the Selous terrain, actually Heblem's California I think

I know there is an L2 MIS bridge but it would be difficult to use over on the north bank. I also don't think there will be a need for three lanes because while this will be a large city of over 200,000 people, there is a secondary bridge south of this area leading to the downtown island. Weaving lanes are something I refrain from ever doing .

I actually like the MIS running through the middle of the interchange.

So, it took me three hours to get this ready:



A full turbine interchange, using only on-slope transitions and no cheating with sharp bends, steep slopes and Flex-fly (RHW-4 ramps all the way!)

Best,
Maarten

[Gugu3]

Very nice one Maarten!

[vinlabsc3k]

Great Interchange Mandel!!

But to avoid the hump on the MIS, you can use the A1 diagonal ramp.

[tomatentobi]

great stuff here as always!

here's my newest project:

[dyoungyn]

Here is a simple one I created in an urban area that I like.  Thanks to NAM32, this would not have been possible;  please look closely why I say this.

[compdude787]

You used the draggable 7.5m overpasses. I love using those!

[dyoungyn]

You hit it on the nail.  My only complaint with this is I cannot add Traffic Lights or RHW 4.

You can add traffic lights on each end by dragging OWR stubs through the avenue where the ramps intersect.

[Durfsurn]

I dunno......
