Records and Hints / official Map pack1 level 6

Anyone have a better pic or just a level file?  I tried the solutions above but the 1@#$!@$!@$@#E!@#$Q$$@#!!#$@@!#$!@##!@$!$@#@#$@#$ bridge just tears itself into pieces before i can even throw the train across..

If it's not obvious, i'm a little stressed, and annoyed that levels like this are even in the game.. this is so unrealistic of a level.

I take offense to that.. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Actually, after it failed when I 're-built' it, I just took the hint and grabbed the actual bridge file he used.. I honestly can't remember if it worked at that point or not.. I had already 'cheated' to get past that level. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> (couple of ways to do this, just use another map pack, or just edit the d**n bridge so it has 4 anchor points). http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

In another thread they were talking about what constitues a clean bridge. Obviously, no broken links, preferably not getting the train wet, making the train stay on the tracks..

but the one that makes the most sense, and the reason these types of levels tick me off the most was 'a bridge design that you could go to a bridge builder with, say 'build this', and not have them laugh you out of the office'.

This map does not meet those standards. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Thanks Klei for those pics (I got my own directory - woohoo! http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

However, that bridge doesn't survive on difficult, just like Volgorilla's.. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>  Oh well, I just went ahead and set it to 'easy' for this one map.

I really hate levels like this.. At least give us realistic scenarios.. I probably could have made a bridge that would have worked if the budget wasn't so ungodly low.. argh..

anyone got a solution posted anywhere for this map?  I've tried falling, i've tried hanging.. arghh.

I had one solution that almost worked, didn't fall apart when it fell in to place, but the train decided to just go right through it and take it's poor passengers screaming all the way to the ground..

Ok, that helped.. just didn't have enough 'cross cables' I guess.. got it now, though.

thanks! http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Any pointers on how to best build this bridge?  I tend to use the 'triangle spam' method others have talked about, but have had limited success.. I also tried a straight suspension bridge from those handy anchors, but the middle falls out. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

I tried the solution shown over at http://www.pontifex.cjb.net" target="_blank">http://www.pontifex.cjb.net , but that falls apart on me too.. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

Note: I'm using the hard setting - maybe that's why someone else's solution isn't working for me.
