crossing bridges:
i think it would be a good idea to allow bridges to cross on another. not like a level crossing but that a bridge can cross another bridge below or above another.
example:
i have a lake where a train goes from N-E to S-W on level 1 and i have a road bridge on level 3 going from N-W to S-E. this is a plausible and realistic scenario i think. but right now this is not possible.
possible problems:
- - bridges are higher then 1 level so a 2 level margin needs to be kept.
- - some types of bridges cannot be crossed over (like hanging bridges are almost always very tall).
a diagonal train bridge would make life a lot easier whilst making big train junctions. a lot of space that would be normally used to give the bridges room can now be used to get a more smoother and flowing junction so that trains can pass true faster.
possible problems:
- - it needs to be figured out how to drg the bridges, where will a track end and bridge start?
- - can two of these diagonal bridges run direcly next to each other just like other diagonal track?
