There should be an overhanging piece that goes under elevated networks.

Hmm, I'll try to find it in a few :).

For some reason, I don't ever see any ferry automata on my canals (even though they have over 7000 usage), but rather I get the Maxis buses randomly and very quickly vertically popping their front ends out of the water and then disappearing at the main canal intersection in my city.  Sometimes they will crash, and then the whole bus will be visible and about five or six buses will appear and crash right on the water.  I initially thought that this was a conflict with the Dutch BBA bus automata replacer that I am using, so I removed the file for that mod.  The problem persists still.  I am 100% sure that I have never installed any other bus replacer besides the Dutch BBA bus, and now that that's gone I am back to only Maxis buses.  I tried re-installing the CAN-AM lot pack after removing the Dutch BBA buses, but it was to no avail.

I have the same problem

Is it possible to make a brights over the canal for the RHW tool?

Hi all, I've been looking into this mod, which is good, but there is a question I would like to be answered ^^ I use SG canals, but I cant find a way to put traffic on the canels, I mean, I can't find any proper stations to plop =\ Can anyone provide me with links for SG style stations for this mod?  "$Deal"$ "$Deal"$ thank you :)

You need to download the CAN-AM passenger and freight terminals.

Is there a tutorial on making CAN-AM sets, yet?

Ummm. I may have put something into the download for the CAN-AM multiple mod. 

Essentially there are no CAN-AM sets.

What there is though is 4 wealths available which can effect the T21's of each of the CAN-AM tiles.  In the download I did there are 8 prop exemplars (a water and a bank tile for each wealth) which reference the models for the bank sets I did the set for.  You need to change the Resource Key in one of those to reference the model for your set and then set the wealth of every lot you have in the set to the matching wealth. 

When you release it you need to make users aware this will overwrite any other version of the CAN-AM multiple canals mod they have and which wealth you have.

If I understand correctly, the best option would be to build four sets, one at each wealth, and let the player decide which one they want to use. It would be a lot more work, of course, but then I have plenty of free time.

The way I see it, since tax payers are paying my (disability) salary, this is a good way for me to give back, even if it is to a limited portion of them :)

Yes... you could do it that way.  It would be a lot of duplicated effort but would work fine.

RebaLynnTS

OK, took me a bit of thinking but now I figured it all out. The wealth level of the surrounding set determines which set appears of the Can-AM .. cool.

Are there any functional locks available?  I couldn't find any.  The one I could find was just eye candy and doesn't carry traffic.  I've tried rigging up some pretty funky FlUPs (like running a road into the CAN-AM tiles, then that road into a FlUP entrance, and running the FlUP tiles right through the lock lots) and tunnels (running a road into the CAN-AM tiles then taking that road into a tunel under the locks), but traffic doesn't seem to switch between road and CAN-AM tiles.  I know it's not supposed to, but it looks like it does, as the DrawPaths cheat draws a contiguous path between a road and a CAN-AM tile.

No functional locks as at the moment. It is not something we have actually thought about as the CAN-AM requires two bank pieces- one each side -  and a central water tile to function. At the moment there are no lock pieces that fit the criteria.
Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened. TP

A functional lock is theoretically possible, although it wouldn't animate to the Automata as thats a little outside our ability.  It would require a model to work which would be the biggest issue.

Wouldn't my modular lock be something that could be used for this?



I am sure I could make versions that would work with Can AM.

That would be awesome!  Just one question:  Where can I get the eycandy version of your modular lock?  I want to use those right away!

It is on the STEX as ST, and on the PLEX at SimPeg (along with the river set it goes with).

Wow this would be awesome, just don't know how would it realistically go over the barriers? Maybe we don't need that much of a detailed job. =)
