Title: RR Bridges and tunnels
Post by: Sabre on December 19, 2001, 12:59:00 PM

Anyone tried using hangers as the bridge pilings and putting a runway over the top of them?  You could set up the bridge site terrain with very steep walls, the top of the slop being the same height as the hanger object.  The water would run along the floor of this shallow valley or “gully.”  Plop hangers side by side right on the water, so that they look like the bridge pilings, then lay the runway or taxi-way object over the top of the hangers.  You could even run a road or railway across the top.  The visual impact would be that it looks like the hanger is the bridge’s road surface, while the hangers are the pilings or supports.  You’d even be able to fly under the bridge this way.  Just a thought, from someone who has not played with the terrain editor.
