Re: Building elevated bridges Reply #2 – May 21, 2009, 11:26:28 pm @Limited: I didn't fully understand what you try to accomplish. It is - in principle - possible to connect roads to elevated roads, and with the help of slopes, elevated roads can - to a limited extent - be raised even more if a suitable bridge is available.The screenshot has been made with maglev track from Pak64:Of course, you need matching objects for your pak set.I hope I didn't exploit some bug when I built this.

Re: Building elevated bridges Reply #3 – May 22, 2009, 02:35:35 am I downloaded highway parts of the Japanese pak and saw a video on youtube about a running highway, where the road went upwards in circles.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4BcD6uN5H8&feature=relatedI have been trying to build levels of road but only managed to connect to the first lvl above the ground it connects from.So what I am asking is if it possible to bridge from one elevated lvl to the next?

Re: Building elevated bridges Reply #4 – May 22, 2009, 09:09:54 am maybe its something like this:1) raise landscape, built upper lever of highway, built connecting bridges to upper level2) lower landscape, built lower levels,3) proceed Quote Selected

Re: Building elevated bridges Reply #7 – May 28, 2009, 07:54:53 am I've tried with normal bridge, It didn't work.According to the Japanese web Site,http://japanese.simutrans.com/index.php?%A5%C1%A5%E5%A1%BC%A5%C8%A5%EA%A5%A2%A5%EB%2F%CA%A3%C3%CA%B9%E2%B2%CD%A4%CE%BA%EE%A4%EA%CA%FDIt IS the step Dwachs provides.But I think it should be special bridge.According to the picture in the website, it is a bridge that can be built without starting point and ending point.So I think it is not a built-in bridge.OR, It is NOT a bridge.If someone found the add-on for this, please post here.Thanks Quote Selected
Re: Building elevated bridges Reply #8 – May 28, 2009, 08:29:03 am I think I found the way.All you have to do is the following step:1)Click the following address to get the Add-on which I foundhttp://japanese.simutrans.com/index.php?plugin=attach&refer=Addon128%2FOthers&openfile=HWSRvol2v2.zip2)Unzip and copy it into /pak.3)To use it, You should use Road tools/Highway060_ELV to built the elevated bridges4)Follow the step and the picture I previously post, You will know how to build such a thing.As I analyze, the japanese view the tool as ground object, with some tech to lie your eye.Building it is not easy, but it is fun to build it.

Re: Building elevated bridges Reply #9 – May 28, 2009, 03:01:22 pm Yeah I tried this out and I also found it working the problem i found out was that i also installed a new courser... cant remember where I found it right now but teh file was called Courser-2449.patch, and this makes it possible to build upper levels right on top of the first ones, the only problem I had was making connection from 2nd level and up but with the building method you showed it solves the problem Thanks Quote Selected
Re: Building elevated bridges Reply #10 – May 29, 2009, 03:35:33 am You bet I will be coming back to this thread to see if I can figure it out too... And this is totally not a bookmark to remind me specifically when more replies are posted... heheI think that video is one of the coolest tricks I've seen. Maybe better than when we could build roads under the sea (or rather "lower" sea tiles). I do miss that... hehe Quote Selected
