elevated road usage.

[malos]

Can some one please tell me how i can build an elevated road over another road.

Example i have a simple 2 lane road. 1 each way.

I want to run a 4 lane road elevated above it.

The game keeps wanting to auto join to the bottom road and also has so many issues placing the supports other thank on top of that road.

you use the page up key.. and your brain... that how.

[Taddl]

Start to build your 4 lane road, press page-up, now click somewhere in front of your 2 lane road to place a ramp, now move your mouse cursor on the other side of the 2 lane road and keep going till it is green then click, now press page down and move your cursor into the direction you want the road to go next, as soon as it becomes green click again to place the downwards ramp.

Now you can just keep building the road.

Project : dude such rude what a wanker you are.
Please read my post it was easy to understand that i already can raise them.

I use the pg up but if you run the road over another it tries to force it down and connect with the road below.

I turned off the snap on and tried all the forms for road building they all want to auto connect.

btw i am talking about running in the same direction not just passing over it.

no that was not aimed at you the person who posted before you

You actually have to place a pillar before crossing a road - Just like in real life.

And to make sure you el comprendo - Place the top of the ramp BEFORE crossing the road/rail/whatever, then place another one on the OTHER side and then finally ramp down again.

[Lamecius (lulu)]

look it real easy.. which is why I said to use your brain....

just build the road section that you want to go over the other road.

you can build roads in the air without starting on the ground. Just build on one side of the underpass road and drag over tot he other side. This is not a hard concept.

[malos]

ok

So let me explain.

I have a long 2 lane road going straight say almost the length of 1 whole map section.

I want to run a 4 lane road elevated for the majority of that 2 lane road but at some point before the end turn left.

My issue is that running from before the 2 lane road all the way up and vering left in 1 go just gets the red something is in the way. If i try to place small parts at a time it only wants to force a down ramp onto the road below.

Just stretch it out till the supports are in a free part you can delete the overhead afterwards, if you have a wide street and no place for supports you might have a problem, can you maybe make a screenshot?

hello

this is what i mean

http://www.loco1hobby.com/test/Untitled.png

you cannot build a elevated road above a road. not build even a dirt road under an elevated road.

i guess i wanted to do something similar to this.

Here in japan it`s very common. but you cannot do a single road under there are places like that near me.

and it`s extremely hard to do on the side like in this link it has to ctick out very far and requires ripping up half the town around it.

Oh now I get what you wanted to do. Yeah I dont think that is possible, you could try to create something like that in the asset editor to use it ingame though.

[malos]

thanks,

yeah i tried that but the same road rules apply.

I wonder why the roads are so limited in this game.

been a while since i played cim 2 but i was sure there was a lot more options.

Kinda hope they release an update to have more choices on roads.

That is one thing that cities xl has over this game.


road limits are a bit of a deal i think stops from making a certain types of cities.



i guess best i can do is wait for road mods.

[Tubatic]

Whoa interesting problem. Is that the same with elevated rails? That's something I was thinking about doing...

[firesofhades1]

there a no support mod, i think that might work, build the highest road first.
