Chronic Logic

When we are talking about Cables vs steel.  When a span gets big enough the only solution is to use cables ;) Look to the real world...

Some of the insane superlong archbridges in BB was a bit overthetop ;)

I agree, pretensioning is a must.

Might make for some funny slingshot effects also ;)

Athlon 550, GeForce DDR. runs smoothly but gets kinda slow with very big bridges.

The mirror / x-symmetry option must have a way of choosing what X to mirror around. Not all bridges are straight middle X symmetric.

There is a lot of fiddle wiht making arches, especialy when making BIG arches. I guess an X-symmetry option would help some tho.

How about integrating a tool to make arches?

It would work like this, you would select the end points of the arch, and then you could stretch the arch in the Y direction.

Then the game could generate optimal joints for this arch and I could fill it with Heavy / Light steel or even cable.

Is this a good idea or does it take some of the "art" out of it?

Me too.. This is driving me MAD!

I also made quite a nice Lvl 14 bridge with just the same consept as you Brinx.

Start the bridge like this \- and it is a lot more sturdy.

Someone with good writing skills should try to get a link posted on Slashdot that would get the word out ;)
