Prolog

Hello all together !
This one is another elevated Metro Overhaul Mod Station for you to use in your cities … 🙂

About the building

There is a role model for this station. It is the S – Bahn station "Plänterwald" in Berlin.
The station is no 1 to 1 copy because of some real world contidions which are very diffcult to "transform"
in to the game.
The real world station is build in to a hang. The entrance is at the lower level, as in my station, the tracks are
one level above the entrance, but they are also at ground level.
I didn´t wanted to do something like that, because there would have been issuse within the game. Thats why I
decided to do an elevated version. Because of that design choice, the overall appearance of the station is
somewhat different to the original one … :/

About the model

There is the main mesh with 9206 tris and a 512×4096 px texture. (d, n, s, i)
The lod mesh has 294 tris with a 256² texture.

There is a glass – part (as a submesh) with about 300 tris. No lod.

There is one lamp prop, which is included in the download. I think that one has somewhat
arround 60 tris and a custom lod.

Issues and walkarrounds

– You have to put the stop on the inner side of the track. Otherwise your cims wont leave the train
on to the platforms.
–> and yes, it is possible (!) but a bit tricky. Use the "shift" key while placing the stops and be patient !

– You have to connect the station tracks with "one way" – tracks. Otherwise there will be a huge whole
instead of the node. That issue is related to the MoM Mod.

– Sometime the cims will jump on to the platforms or leave the station through the walls … that is something a
can`t fix.

– and the textures might not be the best ones. But I ran into some problems with the textures during the
creation of the station and fixed that issue the "cheap" way…

Recommendations

For the "Berlin – feeling" I suggest some of [eRaZe] uиĐead. Berlin S – Bahn trains.
You can find the 6 Car version of the BR 485 (thats the one on the screenshots) series right here :

He also did some other S – and U – Bahn trains for the Mom Mod. (Workshop link below)

My three props are also a suggestion for that "Berlin – feeling" but of course, the station will work
without any of the listed probs.

Greetings

@landandskygirl … You asked for more elevated stations… here is one ! 🙂

Forgotten thoughts

I´ll add them when they are back … 😉

Epilog

If you like that station and you are not that much disappointed because of my personal design
choice, …you could give it a thumbs up. 🙂 That would be very much
appreciated.
