You really want me to add the pillars under the bridge and you will never go take a look?

I don't understand your answer Kutchek. There is actually pillars under the bridge in real life, so...

[Nico]

Well most of the people will drive in their truck and won't look underneath a bridge, so why add them.

[sw3gameboy]

Oh i see Suppose it's a practical thing, isn't it?

[stummer]

I must admit, I never looked beyond a bridge while driving - except that the road approaches in a curve.

Does SCS have pillars under their bridges? I probably would add them as modder - low poly and simple texture.

[Nico]

sw3gameboy: I think purely time saving... some bridges in Norway have it as well

stummer: Yeah most pillars, default from SCS, are low poly.

I do not really get what you people mean by "pillars"? For example in this photo, would you leave those heavy columns made of stone? Would be not so cool ... :/

No! Well, maybe this is true for most people but I'm driving with the outside camera most of the time for performance reasons and because I like to see more of the map. For me this game is not so much about trucks but about watching the countryside of Europe. I also like to switch to the TV camera mod e. g. to see more of the landmarks which were put into the game. So a bridge without pillars (if you're really referring to what I'm thinking you're referring to) would somewhat impair the overall impression.

Yes, they mean such stuff.........which only is there so that the bridge does not collapse if traffic like trucks/cars/trains cross it...

If there's no way to see them during normal gameplay, it would indeed be a waste. Unless you make overview videos of it.
