There are a LOT of great submissions! I completely didn't foresee that happening when I heard what the topic was this month - I tend to think of myself as one of the very few freeway users.... but I see that's not true. Yay for freeways! :)

Grammar note:  You do not have "one infrastructure, two infrastructures."  You have one piece of infrastructure, two pieces of infrastructure.  It's a collective noun like "clothing," "hardware," and "software."  You don't have two clothings or two softwares!

It's a Work in Progress project, it's part of the new road set for pak128 but it's not available yet. Go to http://forum.simutrans.com/index.php?topic=3233.msg53491#msg53491

Also, I changed your line of dashes to "[ hr ]" (without spaces) so it didn't break the forum's frame.

Times on the forum should all match what you have configured for your timezone. :) For example, it ended at 12:51p for me. :)

And... CONGRATS TO FABIO! :D

Yeah! Congratulations Fabio!

This was a very amazing poll! Thanks for all contributions! I never thought, that it would be possible the share the second place! *handshake* Isaac! (Perhaps I should vote for myself, the next time  ;D ... nono... just a joke!)

Congrats to you as well!

I never though, after early voting, that I would end up here. :)

Actually, It has been the toughest voting. Three days ago, there was a triple tie for the first place (Fabio, Isaac and Lokführer), another triple tie for the second place and a double tie for the third place. That's why I posted a message in order to encourage voting. We had to break the tie, altought nine hours ago the triple tie still persisted... As Lokführer said, it has been a great contest.  ;D

Wow, I didn't realize it was anywhere near that close! Last time I'd seen it, I had three votes, others had 5-6 or so, and so I figured I was way out. hehehe

And I cannot wait to get Fabio's highways. Surely the entire highway-playing segment of Simutrans is bursting at the seams for those. hehehe
Title: Re: SMSC Poll: July - Highway infrastructure
Post by: Fabio on July 26, 2010, 06:55:24 AM
Thank you, and congratulations to all the other contestants, too :D

My move was, to advertise a bit my roads replacement, and I must confess, I perfectly reached my goal, ihihihihih

Ok, so now I promise I will try to release the first part of the project (highways) soon. They are now very closed to be finished, finally :)

I wanted to show off my Highway/Heavy Rail T Intersection. It doesn't look very nice but it is functional, and I couldn't make tidy networks without this :D In fact, I route all my trains through this circular rail network, so, on the same route, I can have 7-10 trains at the same time, going to the same stations. You can see hubs, on the right side of apicture, in the tunnel I have underground station, on the surface I have tram/GLR/bus station which connects city and HW/HR system :D Dont even ask what will happen on full highway intersecion :S

Can you show us?

Mod note: Please, avoid making long and unnecessarily quotes (and with image that slows down the page even more), specially from a post that is just above yours. Why should people read an entire post again?
