Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Carl - 2015-07-28 15:23

I think this has been brought up in the past, but now we have more objects we could maybe restructure it. The current layout makes no sense to me. If you look where my car is placed, it allows me to turn left, but where do I go? It is very confusing to me. I know people are going to say "its right in front of you." which it is, but if a car is at that junction I can't really get to there. imo the whole junction is a little offset. The flow of the junction does not feel right when you want to go to the pits.

I agree with you. Lets put a roundabout there! Lol


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Toni - 2015-07-28 15:47

A roundabout or a bridge junction could work, but im more to the roundabout side Smile


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - FolloweR - 2015-07-28 15:50

Stop with the bridges please, it looks horrible. A roundabout would be much better and will look much better.


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Stunna - 2015-07-28 16:04

You already 'know' where to go. Everyone knows where to go otherwise if they didn't it'd be a big pile up over there. I've never seen any pile ups where your car is.

Roundabout in that tight area? Really? Lol.

I am talking about where to drive in order to get to the pits. It just feels awkward.

It's been done before, ask Spark - he'll know

+1 for bridge, +2 for rb Smile


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Howlin - 2015-07-28 16:45

I find myself asking why there must always be something changed on our layouts? With westhill it makes sense atm but for other tracks there's always something 'wrong' with it. Personally, I see that in this case it might look at abit confusing however if you apply common sense it doesn't look quite so daunting.

This junction works, it should be left alone.


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Borja - 2015-07-28 16:57

Howlin , its not wrong , all members do good work. But all users try to better it, and if it can be confusing, why dont make it better? Smile


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Howlin - 2015-07-28 17:05

Maybe it should be changed, I personally don't think it needs to be changed as I don't see a problem. It just seems as though all people want to do is change things to bridges and roundabouts and the fact of the matter is, roundabouts slow/stop traffic and all the bridges we have on our layouts aside from one drive terribly, look terrible and serve very little purpose other than cutting off a stretch of road.

That option gets my vote as well.


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Carl - 2015-07-28 17:13

I'm not saying it won't work unless its fixed, but it is rather confusing and I would like it to be re-made. Don't get confused with what I am saying here. Biggrin


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Warped - 2015-07-28 17:29

Just saying:

In which case, you must allow them go first.


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - MousemanLV - 2015-07-28 17:33

Some tweaks are necessary to fix that intersection and it should be spot on.


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Bez - 2015-07-28 17:34

Its not really worth editing Blackwoods layout. It's only on for 1 week so its not really worth it. But on the otherhand I think we could do with completely redoing Blackwood now that we have some nice objects to play with and a new limit (I don't think we hit the original).


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Carl - 2015-07-28 17:36

Although it is only for one week, it is still on the rotation. A few tweaks as Mouseman said, and it would be great.


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - Connor - 2015-07-28 17:39

Completely agree with Howlin and Bez here. We should leave the Blackwood layout alone and possibly work on it behind-the-scenes and maybe see what the community thinks of a 'new' Blackwood. Fixing just one junction won't really rectify any other problems the Blackwood layout faces and as such, we should really leave it alone.


RE: Re-Structure the Blackwood Main Junction. - MousemanLV - 2015-07-28 18:01

I personally feel like more precision regarding object placement would be nice. I do feel like less barriers would be awesome, but you do know how that will end up.
