how do you actually create a underground station in tsc? like they did with the ringbahn route? but instead of third rail, metro like tunnels with overhead wires? I've tried but it has failed on my part unfortunately so I'm seeking community help,
to clarify yes I'm a complete beginner, yes I've done research there are no proper visual tutorials or explanations.
You can make stuff underground visible in TSC with a certain asset. I´m not sure what it´s called in english. It´s like a asset block, that you lay over an certain place and it makes tunnels and underground stations visible. Mostly underground stations are created as one big asset.
You have a few options. As you probably won't need to build any scenery above ground, you can lower the terrain where you want the station to be, then build the station in that hole and use assets to make it cover it up again. Alternatively you can just build the station underground, but you won't be able to use any external camera when driving down there. The lighting may also be a bit odd if you do it this way. The tunnel hole decal that toms87 mentioned won't help you in this instance.
The tunnel hole decal is meant to cut small holes in the terrain, visually. It's meant to cut holes for tunnel portals, but you could also use it for turntables, traversers, and other small things like that. With a fully underground station you'd just be cutting a hole in the terrain above, which wouldn't help.
thank you im learning a little a few days later, is there a way to raise the wires? its way too low and its very frustrating, i learned to place wires under the tunnels but im struggling to place poles properly.
I found the best way to build a underground system in tsc is to find a city with some elevation. Build the route on the city's coordinates. Stations can be built using all sorts of assets. I have a blank route with every dlc's assets loaded, it took some hours but I went thru everything, making a note of the dlc's that had the assets I wanted. Then I selected the dlc's assets in my underground route to make the stations. Once everything was built, I imported the dem data and everything i built was underground. With the overhead wires. Some dlc's have special tools for adding ole in tunnels etc.
One of the routes I have is the Frankfurt U-Bahn by Just Trains The sub-surface sections of the route was created by placing the track then building up the walls of the route The stations were made as if they were on the surface but with walls around them Move your mouse to the left and when you go thru the wall you see this
There's no way of raising the wires that I know of. It is possible to create a new track rule in the files, but this requires knowledge of how they work and I don't have it. Out of interest, what country is your route based in? Rather than use the LGV track rule, you may be better off using one for the country of the route, or one with the correct default wire height.
