Offset bridges

Unread postby thebigroyboyski » Tue Aug 28, 2012 1:47 pm

I'm not sure if offset bridge is the correct name or not. I'm looking for the type of bridge that crosses at a angle and the barriers don't start at the same point. Has anyone released one?
The problem I have is that I have a small stream that runs right next to my line. I have a junction that crosses the stream but lining up a standard bridge piece means one barrier is going through the main line.
I hope this makes sense. I'll get a picture of my junction up when I go on my pc later.

Thanks
Roy

Here's the bridge in question. As you can see the barriers are not directly opposite each other.

The word "staggered" might apply,here. The solution to this is more bridges that are single "sides" that can be placed. This applies to girders,trusses,and any other type with parallel sides. Many of the crossings on my route are at an angle other than 90 degrees. I had made a few custom bridge objects for Trainz,I will have to do the same for RW.

Yip staggered is a better description for them. If you do end up building some let me know :D
