Your landscape is boring? Try to build a realistic looking river, with a spring in the hills, winding course through the hill or canyon and estuary mouth in the ocean.
For a "realistic looking" spring, you can use the canals for the ships and artful placed trees.
Please also post your special ideas here! Thank you!

I think it would be nice if there is a sort of public canal (a canal wich looks like a river and is built by public service as city roads).
better : rivers already placed in default maps to have canyons for example.
Sure!! That would be very nice!!! ;D Also waterfalls or stone-texture for placement.. and and and, i have many ideas.
But now i work with that waht is available.
Hello,
I have a question: this topic is a Help Request? ;)
I'll be be back.
See you later,
Hmpf... every time i write something i make something wrong ::) :D
Explication of this section:
Post here your questions about how to play Simutrans.
And i ask for other solutions how to play with nice landscape. And i post my solutions by the way for example whats a good solution. ;D
But you are right, it is not 100% correct placed here :-\
I try really to make an effort. (I would not makes a negative impression with my topics) sorry! :)
If you would help me.. to find the way of correctnes in Forum. Please switching this topic to the right place... but where? Simutrans Discussion, its also not 100% correct ? This topic should help.
If someone has a question that's because he has a problem about how to play and needs help. ;)
No problem, nor worry. I'm moving this topic to Simutrans Discussion. For me, this topic is to discuss about ideas for a good landscape. :)
Thanks for replying, ;D
Heh, I tried creating something like this… The main problem is that terraforming the landscape is quite a lengthy process.
Rivers... yes, everyone wants them :D
Firstly, I like too much maister's landscapes. I valorize a lot sceneries creation, especially if I want to justify the design of my roads. :D
It would be nice. I remember Hajo said something about coding a river. I don't know how much it'd be hard to achieve, but I guess ground-objects could act like rivers. Or not?
I would rather like "real" rivers with boats on them. I also remember Hajo talking about climates… and look, here they are!
How about some elevated highways, I stole this idea from the Japanese simutrans page but works well and looks really nice.
But I'm not sure it qualifys as landscaping :D how ever to build em like this you need to elevate the ground level.
The pak i use to get the highways can be found in the Japanese Simutrans site, works well and brings a more realistic feel to the game,
since most city's these days have some sort of highway.

Nice! I would try to build as soon as possible a double elevated highway over a canyon.
I would post the screenshot. "happy"

Very nice screenshots! Reminds me, that we have very few great screenshots around.
There is the screenshots subdomain (http://screenshots.simutrans.com/cpg/), sadly last entries are from 2005.
Is there a way of a member signing up for an account there? If so, we might save some webspace of forum attachments folder as well as we would reactivate an good "Simutrans service". :)
Don't know if you guys seen this one already but for those that haven't its show a major transport network of these highways.

* Igor has got heart attack for awesome-ness *
Hehehehehehe yeah I have to agree the Japanese guys bring the game to a hole new level in my opion
Uhuh..... if you replace the p****engers with data-packages you got the architecture of a computer-processor :D but also... that looks like that, not very nice. ( ;D i miss a Landscape designing)
Oh my guinnes!! How long he need for building and coordinate that. But otherwise to placing a highway over a flat country in this length and make a Line with 1000 Buses is not very very very very time-consuming.
Edit: ok, 1000 Buses ;D bawdy
Edit: ok, the holidays are consumed
For my opinion it look also very nice if you build the water-canals engrossed in the landscape. Also very nice to now is that you can build the high voltage power line over a canal. That is to say, if you have a "natural" river which one you would cross over, build on this zone just a man-made canal.
