AQUEDUCTS!!!!!!!!!!!


I think I am in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's ok with the avenues. I got a an idea of how to overcome that anyway, it's simple. just split the avenue into one way roads, and then make it an avenue again as you've goone through it.

Yep, that's what I thought as well, and it's perfectly reasonable to do so. Well, what can I say? This is a whole new sight when it comes to custom game content - what a marvellous extension to the canal system!

[jacqulina]

hiya my friend how are you.beautifull work lee as allways these are fantastic,i love the bridge

[callagrafx]

I'm very well Jac, long time no see...you are missed here.  Thank you for the kind words.

Glenni...I like your thinking 

[Strechnitz]

Oh my,

That truly is a wonderful addition. an aquaduct.!! I love the idea!! I look forward to the progress on this one.

In short. you are a genius!

Looks good, but I always thought aqueducts were smaller and narrower?

[callagrafx]

Water carrying aqueducts yes...this is an aqueduct for the Remastered Goober canals, where the narrowest piece is 2 tiles wide.

[toxicpiano]

Oh wow looks gorgeous! Do overhanging pieces have shadows?

[callagrafx]

Not this...the pieces have to be set ground model=false, otherwise you get strange shadows across emanating from the model, as the majority of it is below ground plane.  Unless someone knows how to avoid that but still have it cast shadows, that is.

[rooker1]

This is a superb idea.  There are none around where I live but I saw pictures of the one in Germany and it looks very amazing.  Great work.

Love the look of the aqueduct.  My region should have a canal system, but the hills have always put me off.  This will definitely make things a little easier.

Are you planning some narrowboat props to go with it?

(Someone will probably mention the Falkirk Wheel at some point in this thread ... oh I just did!  )

[RichGray]

i really do have to say cal, SWEET!!!!

it'll look brilliant IMO, in a northern english city. put them up for download when youve finished them!!! 

[callagrafx]

Thought you might like to know, the Base Set and some other LOTs have been uploaded to the LEX...enjoy.

[Glenni]

Do they flood at certain times like most canals in the UK are doing, now, aswell?

I've just had a look at these in game.  They look brilliant - the surface texture and reflections on the water really lift them to a different level to the old version.

I'm really torn now - I've always used Oppies canals (the original and best  ), but the water looks much better on these new ones.  The only way that Oppie's still score is on their depth, which means that boats can get under the bridges.

I suppose what we now need are some 'deep' canals using your water texture and a lock to drop the level ...

[metasmurf]

How about making a matching watermod to go with the canals? 

[Nardo69]

Well, right now that I just finished my first kanal within two years with PEG's kanal pieces you rewamp SG's kanals ... Am I now supposed to redo them including both locks ... 

Anyway - great work. And that viadukt reminds me of a photo I saw years ago in a railway magazine showing a kanal bridge over a railway somewhere in Brandenburg - East Germany ... 

A bit hard to do with the pillars distance to each other at the moment but who knows what kind of magic you are going to do next  ... 

Take care and make backups!
