Underwater Tunnels September 03, 2009, 12:41:02 pm I was just wondering how to make a train go underwater if it`s possible. Because i can`t find any way to do so, and if there isn't then i should remove it from the wiki. Quote Selected

However in the nighties there is a new feature that allows you to have slopes underground, you can download the newest nightly at http://simutrans-germany.com/~nightly/simutrans/index.phpAll you have to do is build some underground track, then you can use the raise and lower slope/terrain tool (the same one that is used to change slopes above ground). Just make an up slope or down slope on the last tile of track, and it should make a slope for you. After it makes a slope, you can continue laying track at the new level. Quote Selected

Precisely. However, new method 1) looks better and 2) is fully supported (not a bug exploiting). Quote Selected

Re: Underwater Tunnels Reply #7 – September 07, 2009, 03:26:53 am I've decided to edit the wiki so that it makes it clear that it cannot be done in the latest stable version (102.0) Quote Selected
