Hey Alex I hope you dont mind me qouting from Stef's thread on the X-tool some new words I learned today...

IWBRWIIR

It will be ready when it's ready

And not before

I can't wait tarkus. Is it close to being released???

Haven't you heard the NAM team slogan?

"We like to surprise people"
and
"It will be released when it is ready"

No one likes them though, it makes you even more impatient.

Suprise! We have an exit plan.

Mostly freight trucks, but as you can see, there is green and blue arrows over here.
Keep in mind though, you will need to draw a U-turn under the border arrows for this to work.
Yeah, if you guys don't like those akward flags down the middle, you'll want to wait for that to be taken care of.

Ooh wow! No more transitions for neighbor connections...

And about the colored thingys in the middle of the highway: They may mean you're missing the prop for the center barrier I've seen from Tarkus' screenshots...

My acronym figuring out skills come in handy again!

The little colored thingies look like Peg's replacement mod for brown boxes.

i think they are

is the rhw 6c orthagonal only?? how does it work??

[darraghf]

kings_niners: i believe that it will be only draggable orthogonaly but oyu will be able to use a puzzle piece to make it diagonal

[sim-al2]

What could the surprise inside be? [cue=cereal box ad]

[berubium]

Can anyone tell me what FHW means?  I've seen it refered to in this thread, but I'm not sure what it means.  Thanks in advance...

FHW = Maxis ("Fake") Highway.

Patricius and metarvo, you're both right, actually.  The 3.0 release is taking a little longer than I initially expected (I had in fact been secretly shooting for a date which has now passed ), and it's probably a bit unfair to keep 2.0 locked up for more than a couple weeks. 

I know Alex that you "delayed" the release of Version 3.0 in order to expand your list of puzzle pieces and surprises for us.  Anyway, it will be released when it will be released. Can't wait for RHW Day to come around.  Keep up the fantastic work and hope you are having a bood break. Don't break anything.

There's a great big surprise in RHW 3.0. What? Tell you? No way! 

Cheers,

The 6C (C="Compact", as per the FAQ) is indeed Orthogonal-only.  The 6S (S="Separable"), however, will have puzzle pieces to allow diagonal functionality.  The 6C will likely never go diagonal, but there will be a puzzle piece that will allow it to transition to the 6S, which I can confirm will be in Version 3.1.  The 6C is primarily designed to allow for a 6-lane RHW in less space--3 tiles as opposed to 4 for the 6S.  And depending on the simulator you're using, it may have a higher capacity than a Maxis Highway.

Can't wait for RHW Day to come around.  Keep up the fantastic work and hope you are having a bood break. Don't break anything. 

I can't wait, either.  Things are lining up pretty well . . . though I'm not quite on break yet.  Have a couple big end-of-term projects to finish up, but I'll be done sometime next week.  And I'll do my best not to break anything, too . . . fortunately, it seems to be a little less icy this year in Oregon (record high temps in Portland yesterday), so my driveway fall is unlikely to be repeated.

Maybe we should hope for a  heat wave....Just in case 

Can't wait for RHW Day to come around.

I guess, I'm feeling pretty dumb today. I'm in the process of preparing for the new RHW 3.0 to be release. With than, I'm widening the main freeway through downtown. What I'm confusing myself is, when in the FAQ, it states that 8 lanes are 4 tiles wide. Is that 4 tiles per side or 4 tiles total for both directions? I've looked at all the pretty pics, but with the grid off, it's hard to tell how many tiles it takes.

[io_bg]

SusanMarie1956, I think it should be 4 tiles in both directions.

[TEG24601]

SusanMarie1956 - RHW8 is 4 lanes in each direction, requiring a total of 4 tiles to operate.

I am looking forward to RHW 3, as I'm using the RHW a bit more than before, and keep waiting to do some of the things I want.
