4/8 update : Remove masstrasit DLC road. Remove R69 railway.

Washington DC

This is my fourth map made in real-world size, allow me to present the capital of the United States of America, Washington DC.

Actually, I wanted to make it one year ago, but I was just dizzy when seeing these roads. I tried a few times later but I couldn't draw it (technically and psychologically) and I never started.

Finally, due to the advancement of technology, this map has a way to complete LOL. The built-in road of the game is too large for gameplay and cannot be used in Washington, DC.

The highway is really too complicated. When I first started, It pissed me off and I was going to give up in preparation. Later, I calmly went to see 1917 (why = =?). After that, I actually made it smoother, and I looked at GOOGLE MAP then roads was done one by one, it was really amazing.

Let me describe the complexity of the Washington, DC freeway: one freeway is not enough, and one more freeway is built outside. It ’s still not enough. There is a third expressway in it, and there must be exits and Interchange in every place. It is not enough, let us plug in a fast one-way road in the innermost!

As for how complicated it is, you can experience it for yourself LOL.

In short, in order to make the freeway, I adjust each node by node, and 99.9% of the road segments are adjusted by myself. I also try my best to follow the reality, and the number of lanes is compared to the real road.

However, there are very few related buildings in the workshop of Washington DC. I don’t know why such a well-known historical capital has various landmark buildings and monuments, but few works. If you want to make the map more realistic, it is a very challenging thing.

This map is such a sweat and blood, I usually don’t say that, but I'm quite proud, I hope you would like it on such hard work!

You can build the Capital Garden, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Arlington National Cemetery, military bases, etc ... enjoy!

About 395 Expressway: This is a one-way allocation expressway that leads directly to Washington, DC. At first, because of the logical contradiction of the road, I didn’t know what the function of this road was. After stuck for a day, I decided to google. It turned out to be a change Expressway in the direction of travel = = ......

So I changed to a two-way expressway in the game. This is the only road that is different from the real map.

Question 1. Why don't you use the built-in road in-game? My computer can't run and I can't subscribe to too many mods.

Answer: I have tried to use the built-in road, but I can't really reduce the size of the highway. If you use built-in roads in your game, the roads will take up twice as much land and the roads will become ugly. In order to have both beauty and practicality, I chose to use SHUTO EXPWY.

The road most suitable for this map is actually CUSR, but 90% of the players can't use it. This is a compromise proposal.

SHUTO EXPWY does not need to download all the modules, you only need to subscribe to version without Sound barrier and the SHUTO EXPWY Smooth the confluence road (β).

Since the road module is used, the real railway module is used too(three kinds). I'm sorry for the players who can't run.

Due to the complexity of the road, Traffic Manager: President Edition [STABLE] is recommended for smooth traffic.

Question 2: Many roads are broken because they are too crowded. Can't you do a little better?

Answer: Unfortunately, this is the design of the expressway in Washington, DC. Furthermore, this will happen to the real-world maps I make, because this is what would happen in the real world.

For gameplay, I have adjusted the road spacing moderately, but it is inevitable that there is a fish that misses the net and needs to be readjusted using MOVE IT by yourself.

The other parts must use continuous walls to make it beautify, which is also the fun of advanced players.

Question 3. Some road segments are particularly long, and some road segments have problems. Is it normal?

Answer: The Skyline has many object ceilings, and the road is one of the ceilings easily reached. It is disappointment while encountering the limit of objects when making a large city is almost completed.

Thanks to the invention of Elektrix's Road Tools 2.91, I, a picky player, easily reduced the number of nodes on many highways. But this is not without consequences. If the road segment is too long, it will cause some image breaking problems. Unless you encounter problems with the road segment, I don't recommend that you move any road preset on the map.

If you encounter problems, don't panic, delete the section and re-draw the road in normal length.
