He means walkways whom are compatible with the AC terminal sets, which these aren't, 'cause they appear to be too high.

I also meant to use the parking lot things from the ACB-VLT Terminal series as an overpass to the road and avenue. I would do it myself but I cannot transit enable the lot.  &ops

@Driftmaster07: As I read above you're using Vista and are not able to transit-enable a lot. What software do you use. I would suggest to use SC4 tool, which can be found here:
http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=315 (http://kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=315)

I'm using Vista as well, but I've always been able to transit enable my lots. I hope this will help you to solve your problem.
I had similar ideas as well and I found another solution to use the skybridges from the link by jmdude1 and the normal AC lots. If you redo the lots by AC and make them higher by plopping the same prop above the base prop (by pressing Crtl and up/down), you will be able make your terminal look more realistic and to use multiple other lots and props!

Have fun with LE!

You will need to replace FSHlib in SC4Tool: here is the link FSHLib vista (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=5142.msg221467#msg221467)

I downloadedit but it doesnt work.

You need to put the newer FSHlib.dll into the main SC4Tool folder and let it overwrite the old one. Also , disable Aero for SC4Tool , It doesn't work with Aero enabled.

Do you know how to move files around? Then, download the file and put it in the main SC4 folder, the same one as were the original file is. I'm pretty sure that it is in the Program Files\SC4Tool\... folder (could be a sub folder).

Can you PM me with more specific details of what you want, and I will be happy to be of assistance. Some people around here don't look fondly on people who seem to not know how to do things. I am a New Zealander, we like to help, we are friendly. I think I know what you mean - do you want to use the BAT of the parking entrance, double sided to use as a tunnel under?

Alrightey. I think I have a breakthrough! In SC4tool set compatibility to Windows 2000. This mitigates the bug of blacked out text-entry boxes(Unfortunately it doesn't, but it got TE to work). That's what was giving me headaches, and as well I have created the Lot you requested, I'm nearly done with it. I can do oneway road TE too.

Just like the one above! ^^^ Except for an avenue too. EDIT: A one way road would be great as well! Thankyou joelyboy911 for helping me too. All I wanted was a 1x2 lot and a 2x2 lot for Avenus and roads. I have an airport that has a conjoining area for 3 concourses (A,B,C, but not D (D is still under development  ;)) But with the completion of the D concourse it will have a Major system of RHW (transition to Avenus for the parking though). all the concouses will come together at the Parking lots in the middle so no one will have to cross a busy highway. Also don't worry about streets cause the original lots (even though not completely functional) are good eyecandy. Once again thanks for all of your help.

So if I do oneway roads, would that be alright as the Avenue, 'cause you can plop two next to each other in opposing directions, and link these with avenue? If you feel that Avenue is necessary, it is not much extra work. I, personally do not think that this would look good over a RHW system, and I have a better idea up my sleeve.
Title: Re: Airport walkway over avenue and road (request).
Post by: KoV Liberty on May 27, 2009, 12:39:08 PM
Actually you can just use a one way road. Also for RHW I would just transition it to OWR.
Thankyou very much!

I don't think that this little project will ever reach the public, so Alex, Is it alright that it has a sort of Grass Area type name?
Title: Re: Airport walkway over avenue and road (request).
Post by: KoV Liberty on May 28, 2009, 10:01:25 AM
Sure, I don't mind. Actually I have whole airport jetways w/out proper names. It doesn't bother me one bit!
Title: Re: Airport walkway over avenue and road (request).
Post by: joelyboy911 on May 28, 2009, 01:58:31 PM
Me too. Almost all of Tabi's jets, as well as Kumba's and ones only released in AC prop packs. All are "open grass area" It makes no real difference once they're down, eh?

@joelyboy911

Interesting concept (May 26 04:34:55), do you plan to do more and publicly release them?
Title: Re: Airport walkway over avenue and road (request).
Post by: joelyboy911 on May 28, 2009, 05:33:39 PM
Hmmm.... Probably not, to be honest. They are not of high-quality, as they are still called open grass area and all that stuff. I don't think that they have a wide appeal
Title: Re: Airport walkway over avenue and road (request).
Post by: k808j on May 28, 2009, 07:38:35 PM
The names can be changed and you never know! Your SCAG and AC comrades can perhaps help you, if they are not busy.

Post by: joelyboy911 on May 28, 2009, 08:46:00 PM
I am going to need to learn how. And I'm not in AC team. You need iLive's tools eh? I thought perhaps of producing something that could be joined with FLUP. I.E you can put the tunnel entrance piece, and then the terminal concourse crossing, and another terminal piece. or even a long underground roadway, over which the concourse crosses at selected points. We'll see how i go with that
Title: Re: Airport walkway over avenue and road (request).
Post by: KoV Liberty on May 29, 2009, 10:29:16 AM
Yeah. But they will be exactly what I need.
Title: Re: Airport walkway over avenue and road (request).
Post by: joelyboy911 on May 29, 2009, 03:31:48 PM
You only want the double side parking version?
Title: Re: Airport walkway over avenue and road (request).
Post by: KoV Liberty on May 29, 2009, 05:58:21 PM
No I just need the overpass lots. That will be fine.
Title: Re: Airport walkway over avenue and road (request).
Post by: joelyboy911 on May 29, 2009, 07:11:28 PM
OK. The other way will look nicer though. I can email them to you tonight (New Zealand time) probably.

EDIT Sent!

You're welcome. If you need to transit enable anything yourself, here's how I did it (I am on Vista Home Premium):

1)Get the FSHLIB.dll udpate for Vista, and install it, overwriting the original.

Go to C:\Program Files\SC4Tool\System\Settings.dat [or wherever SC4tool is installed](open it in notepad) and change this section, accordingly look for the areas higlighted in green and change the areas highlighted in red (of course, put your appropriate directories in)

<name>SC4Path</name>
    <  <value>C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe</value>
  </data>
  <data>
    <name>SC4LocalPath</name>
    <value>C:\Users\*Your Name*\Documents\SimCity 4\Plugins</value>
</data>
3) Go to SC4tool shortcut, right click, go to properties, open the compatibility tab, change as follows:

Compatibility Mode For: Windows XP (service pack 2)

Tick the boxes for:
Disable visual themes
Disable desktop composition
Disable display scaling for high DPI settings.




Hope this helps
