   The Curves look great, but what is with the pale stripe... the tracks in the switch there is a pale stripe look almost and doesn't seem to look right. Well the track itself that is on each switch. Other than that they look great.

The pale stripe is the part I hadn't finished!

It's done now and I'm working on the diagonal switch.

  Ah ok yeah I was hoping that was the case, very good to know.  :)

Can't wait to see the finished product. keep up the great work.

I tried adjusting the colour of the walls to make them a bit less sci-fi looking. What do you think?

Mnh...I won't say that it looks awful, but for some reason I definitely prefer the blue.

can someone change that unwieldy support column there? It just looks odd and too sci-fi.

I reckon the track textures are pretty much done now. I made a HSR-to-rail piece too.

Only one problem I can see with that piece:

HSR trains use monorail paths so they won't be able to run on the rail network.

vershner, this is very impressive stuff here!  You've done absolutely amazing work here. 

As far as that Rail-GHSR setup, the only way I could think of to implement it functionally would be to make it into a converter lot that switches between the Monorail and Rail transit types.

   Now that looks even better, Congrates.... I'm not sure about the Rail to GHSR, but it is a good idea, however not sure how it would be done though.

Hmmm (thinks about adding monorail paths on rail)  ;)

That might take long to do though...

Alex, I think I asked this a while ago but I never got anywhere with it.

If HSRP was made to have rail paths on it instead or monorail, could a higher speed be set when the trains are on monorail? That way conversion to Rail would not require a TE Lot and you'll still get the Higher Speed, and it could be set to be faster than monorail?

The textures are looking stunning vershner :thumbsup: (another K point)

Yes, it should be possible.  This would also eliminate the possible issues of monorail trains running on HSR tracks or vice-versa, too.  I'd say it's a great idea.

I know that we can go from GHSRP to subway and rail to subway.

An update on the Rail paths on HSR . . . I've been doing some experiments over the past night and just now, with no luck as of yet.  I'm probably going to make some more alterations to station settings if it is going to work.

you may want to look back at my experiments on simtropolis, though I went the opposite: put mono path on rail pieces - conventional trains on hsr are very unrealistic, while in downtown areas hsr trains often switch to regular rail




the trick was to modd the Traffic Simulator Monorail speeds and the stations

Did that actually work in the Traffic Simulator? It would be really helpful if you posted some traffic query photos.

I think I tried to do something similar in the traffic DAT with El-Rail/GLR for freight and passenger trains... but it never worked out (probably due to station modding).
