H.O.T.A – Innsbruck – Roads!
Heart of the Alps – Innsbruck – Roads!
Greetings, hobby mayor’s! I have a new challenge for you! A traffic challenge!
THIS IS PRETTY UNIQUE here in the workshop, A MAP WITH THOUSANDS OF FUNCTIONING ROADS, ready for you to start.
This city is Innsbruck, located in Austria. The map contains ALL original roads. You can begin with deploying building zones immediately after start. The challenge here is (as in reality) to achieve a working traffic solution. The real city does not have any metro and as you can see highways are leading from east to west and to the south but are touching only the outer parts of the city. As in real there is space in the west for the airport. Also the two big train stations should be better used I guess.
How will you transport thousands of people in and outside the city every morning? How will you connect the surrounding villages? Will you accept the challenge and help Innsbruck with your traffic management talent?
How did I create this map:
* First I took my previous map with all train and highways included
* Then i was starting a game and importing all roads (WITHOUT the highways) with Cimtographer
* As Cimtographer is not delivering a satisfying result in mountain maps I was re-drawing neary all roads by hand ingame using a unlimited money and unlock roads mod
* After all roads were polished I again used Cimtographer to export the new roads to a .osm file
* Then I opened my previous map in the map editor and imported all polished roads via Cimtographer
By doing so the building zone problem as well as overlayed roads are totally solved. That´s why you can start now with fully functioning road networks without doing a rebuild of them.
But you can´t imagine how many hours it took… ?
TWO IMPORTANT NOTES:
The only thing which you have to do beside the zoning itself is to retype bridges in the building area. Currently this are highway bridges as Cimtographer cannot bring any good results here.
As this is a river map use some other waste water building than the common pump, otherwise the river will flow the eastern area after 80-100K people. I use this mod: “Sewage Treatment Pump” from “Carlzilla”
Good luck mayor!
