Bridges - Anyone tried this before?

Bit poorly placed but works! Just place it overlapping the edge of a dip and it'll cover the gap (You can see from the screenshot). Not exactly beautiful, and invisible if you fly below the alt of the bridge (!) but might make a cool element to a map if no-one's tried this method (overlapping taxiiways set to a set alt) before

Cool bridge!  

10bears lined up small runways across water in his Luzon terrain a while back.  It had hangars as the bridge "supporters".

Duma,

Excellent idea however a couple of points to remember are

- There is a limit to the total number of objects in your terrain.
- The total number of objects in the terrain affects framerate, (the program parses the terrain objects file to see if it should display any objects that are within viewing range a couple of times each second).

I'm waiting for the coastline textures to arrive with 1.06 and then the PNG/Solomons terrain will be ready to go, (scale is 2:1).
