Road underpass for train track

[Magnus]

TF1 had one of these. Is there the equivalent for TF2 ?

[juliejayne]

Sadly, no. I have been trying to get one of the great modders to help, but he is busy working on other mods.

The game itself, does do better than TPF1, but it remains an abomination of jaggies and holes.

Have to manually make one by deleting sections of road and then with the road tool pointing the height arrow down and making a drop deep enough to make a "tunnel" under the section where the track is/will be. Level off for a bit then you have to reconnect to the road on the other side.

Like I said "...one of the great modders (Enzojz).... is busy working on (it)" Keep up the great work. We are waiting with baited breath!

Remove tracks, pull road in, press M/N to adjust the height for the middle section of the road. Ensure it's deep enough and build railway over it on a bridge. Looks a lot nicer than tunnel.

Except that there are limitations as regards what can be built on a bridge. Therefore tunnels are sometimes needed. The old underpass from TPF1 will be much appreciated when it can be done.

What kind of limitations? On TPF1 it was a mod, not vanilla game which allowed that underpass.

It was indeed. And will be again.

Limitations:
You cannot have multiple switches on a bridge. Though it is better than TPF1 was.
You cannot have platforms or buildings on the bridge.

Unless I'm breaking a Main Connection, I don't bother spending the money connecting the road again.

If you are playing the game as a Tycoon game, sometimes you have to to get goods to both sides of the station. Or you have to have station buildings on both sides.

If you are playing as a simulation, then many many stations have these underpasses, and it is nice to recreate them in some fashion.

I find it easier to create underpass by removing the train track, then press "," four times and create a road just under where the train track should be, and afterwards connect the road and then the train track again.

Try that underneath a station platform... then come back and tell me how it goes! Clue; It doesn't.
