The Jaggy Eliminator

[MIncroabl]

Yes, I considered using that mod when it came out, but as my region is quite hilly the side-effects would have been devastating on the scenery. As a matter of fact, I'm experimenting with some custom BATs to hide the jagged edges and give the slope a special appearance.

Great tunnels and work at all!

Here are two pictures of a layout from a big tunnel of my little City "Grabenwörth"


The "Entrance"


and the "Exit"

Khiyana,
    Really great tunnel system.   Excellent way to get under the rail line.        I do have a "where did you get that?" question.    In the first picture, (The "Entrance") near the top, and the railroad, there is a set of what I am guess is sound barrier walls.    Where did they come from?

[Khiyana]

Thank you!
You are right with your guess, these are the "Highway Sound Walls", my favourite ones and can be found here:

Thanks Khiyana,
     I figured those were the the ones.   I just never downloaded them because of the file size.  (nearly 10mg)   LOL    But they are pretty cool so I guess I'll go ahead and spend the time.

Khiyana - nice additions to this thread. I like the tower block in the second pic. Reminds me of one I lived in for a few months. Lived on 19th floor, views were great but lift worked maybe one day a week,ok it kept me fit but it was annoying if you had just been to shops and forgoten something

On foot in the 19th floor?  Puh  , and maybe forgotten a crate of beer...

Outstanding tunnels you have there, Khiyana!

The tunnel is quite hard to spot

That are great pictures of the tunnels @ Khiyana and jayo

I agree--it looks great, though! Keep up the good work, jayo!

LOL - I have been staring at this picture for a few minutes and was about to ask "where is it" when I noticed it just in time before making a fool of myself (well - that is easily done anyhow... )

Thanks for the comments...

Gaston - I'm not using any secrets - just lots of patience.

4 Things:
The NAM,
some Simple Filler Tiles by darmok,
a Hillside GLR To Subway Transition By Morifari,
and I use the New GLR Track Mod By El Goalio And Ebina.

(Photoshop hides minor flaws.)


ryalmighty1 - Tedious? Yes.  Frustrating when you accidentally mouse a piece of GLR over a transit-enabled lot? Hell YES. %+@#$!!  Sorry...

I might think of putting a little tutorial together, but until then, lay your rails before plopping any stations or tunnel entrances.  And be careful where you open that Misc. Trans. Menu.


EDIT:
Here's another fun little tunnel:

Awesome GLR. I am starting mine now and I would apreciate if you could tell me where you got those side lots with the fences and all. If it's yours could I have it for personal use? I don't care if it's untested.

Thanks

gmavignier: I believe the pieces with the fences can be found here: Simple Filler Tiles. If those aren't what you're looking for, though. then I don't know. Hope this helps, my friend!

[socomseal45]

 That looks awesome gmavignier   

[TheTeaCat]

gmavignier - A very worthy addition but it must be stomach churning after you enter ( what with the drop to get the glr underground )

Oh goodie. Thank you very much! Though those pictures are not mine.

The West (and more dramatic) Portal of the Tunnel der Könige (Kings Tunnel) in Ravensburg, a suburb of Victoria, Carinthia. The tunnel is located on the Queen Danica II (known locally as the QD2) highway.
