Becca at BAT

Wes, Buddybud, Pat, thank you all very much.

While looking at that picture I seeing that railway overpass ( ) I remembered what I alway missed in the other canal sets: A skin for the NAM puzzelpieces that fits to the corresponding canal. It is not so urgent for railways as the railway vidaducts can do this job now but roads and ElRail still looks ... well ...
and all the other "bridges" with 123,4 mm air between water surface and the ceiling of the bridges always where a major turn-off in my eyes ... 

So instead these huge culverts how about a nice bridge skin that could be used together with some embanlsments to left and the right also for the "normal" kanal piece?

I am working on some designs for bridge skins, but will not have them ready for the first release. Be sure to keep your eyes on this thread for future developements. You can also catch me at SimPeg, and Simtropolis.

First look at the Raised Canals:

[buddybud]

Now that is cool!!. Yet another cool idea!

Bud

[Pat]

Becca you have boldy gone where noone has gone before sweetness!!!!

[RebaLynnTS]

Thank you very much. I see a void in the game, and work hard to fill it with quality. I am always learning, and therefore getting better. And is people like you that keep me trying.

BTW, ARS Flat Rivers version 1 are now available at SimPeg, for public testing.

A second look at

No problem, just give me some time. I have a lot to get to, but I promise that is one of them.

No problem with me. They are done when they are done 'cause we all are just humans with a RL.

[RebaLynnTS]

I got enough spare time on my hands, I could do this for a living . . . if only I was getting Paid

Any chance you might might make some raised Plaza parks?  Like the HighLine Project in NYC http://www.thehighline.org/galleries/images/design-slideshow  Just asking because seeing your elevated canals reminded me of elevated plaza parks like the one I linked. I think something like that would go nice with your raised canals.

P.S. I know deadwood has a Raised Park but its not small enough for downtown areas

[RebaLynnTS]

Well, I was thinking of some kind of park like idea, this seems like it will work nicely.

[Pat]

that looks like it would be a sweet Idea for sure and I will be following if you do run with it Becca!!!

[RebaLynnTS]

First looks: ARS Flat Canals.

[SimNation]

Great to hear you were thinking about something like the raised parks I showed. Reguardless I will be keeping my eye on how this all turns out since a lot of you guys who bat have always suprised me with how your projects always turn out.

[RebaLynnTS]

Glad to hear it, the flat canals are now available on SimPeg.

[Nardo69]

Looks great (and yes, I had been at the PLEX ecen though ... well that's another theme)

BTW for the overpasses: It maybe kind of cosmetic but plopping two tile wide puzzlepieces like e.g. railway or road over avenue looks better above the kanals especially since the overhanging props will hide the underlying traffic textures.

Yes, eye candy but isn't that one of the major reasons we still play a 6 year old game?

[RebaLynnTS]

Cool idea.

Now, can you guess what this beast is?

[JoeST]

Surely not.... 


looking great in here

Joe

[tag_one]

It looks familiar, I think I have seen one before in my hometown 

Looks really nice so far Reba!

[Nardo69]

Sweet.

Put it directly on the ground without supports and you'll get the transition from "normal" kanal or Maxis water to your raised kanal pieces ...

[RebaLynnTS]

@Nardo; there will be that version as well. This version is for the upcoming Double Height Raised River down to the regular Raised River.

There is one thing about these locks that will be different from any others; they are variable width.
