Donner Pass Fix

Unread postby Csxgp38-2 » Fri Nov 25, 2011 7:30 pm

Using only freeware 3rd party and default items, I am re making parts of the route from period accurate photos.
Working on Reno:

Moved the Reno sign back, added the huge sidewalks- if you can call them that! Also added a one way street that is supposed to be in that spot, and added a "casino"-(The default mexican food place is in place of a small coin casino in my prototype pics, I might make this building if I can find more pics):

Looks great. I haven't purchased the route yet, but am intrested in your "fix it" concept.
Reading all the problems, seems you have your work cut out for you. !!*ok*!!

Thanks, I'm trying to make the route nicer, it's a nice base project, just needs a lot of TLC. I got very upset at first, but instead of being mad at RSC, I'm trying to move on and be constructive to try to keep RSC from having to update, I realize they have a lot of work to do on optimizing the game and other addons, and this route needs a lot of work they don't have much time for. Seeing as busy as they are, they probably haven't even had time to read all the problems people have with the route yet, so as I have nothing better to do, I'm addressing the issue as I was one of the first people to complain. The way I figure it, I shouldn't put them down 'till I've been in their shoes, or at least tried to do some work myself. *!!wink!!*

The more I think about it, the more I like this approach to the Donner problem (even though it shouldnt be our responsibility to fix it). Just, simply with the road switched out, it looks SO much better.

Thanks! Working some more on the roads, we really need a scale road intersection that has a 4 lane road intersect a 2 lane. Anyways:

Unfortunately, if RSC wont use your fixes, if you do send it to them, we each have to do the fixes separately. Seeing as this isnt a default route, you cant upload your fixes for anyone to download.
