RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[KoV Liberty]

Could we possibly have dual RHW exits? Like an MIS ramp on either side of the RHW?

There already are on the RHW-2.

And onlycoop, yes, those are planned.

I might be wrong, but Driftmaster07 if you meant something like the RHW-2 dual sided ramp, but a RHW-4 version with traffic going the same direction, I don't know if that exists, but to me that seems kind of dangerous, and could not think of something existing in RL.

And it also seems what Hal said that should be in the show us your interchange thread, keeps coming into this development thread. I mean its one thing to post one example in response to proove what already has been developed, but the issue is when it leads to a traffic jam of follow-ups.

I can think of two major freeway-interchanges where this occurs, both in my city. They are not an exact replica to the parallel-exit 'dual-sided ramp' set-up the RHW-2 presents, for the number of lanes is more than this, but the concept is the same. The aforementioned freeways have been rebuilt to allow exiting on both sides for one direction. These exits reach and initiate the same road to ease peak-hour congestion caused by merging and weaving, and therefore improving traffic flow. I agree that it is a strange set-up but it certainly does exist, albeit rare, and far less dangerous than the weaving and merging that used to be present.

I apologise for my off-topic response.

A double-sided onramp would indeed be dangerous indeed if it's parallel traffic. But I can see the merit of a double-sided offramp so it can ease congestion more efficiently.

[KoV Liberty]

Yeah like the one for RHW 2 but not the diagonal ones. Just the Parallel. Edit: For RHW 4.

It might also be nice to be able to plop a left-side exit in the same section as a right-side entrance, and vice-versa.  I've seen many of these in my travels, and while some have been replaced in recent years, I can see their merit in a limited sense.  It would also be nice if it were possible to have a limited set of exits that included the ramps to EMIS on the same piece to save space, but that seems more like a pipe dream.

That is one thing that is guaranteed to produce a mind-bending number of accidents, it's like weaving on steroids.

That's something I wouldn't mind having, it would be a nice way to save space.

I think having the EMIS transition attached directly would end up being a bit unwieldy, but I have some other ideas currently in the works that would allow that exact sort of setup.

Edit: Here's the results of those ideas:

interesting concept u made alex!

[KoV Liberty]

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this question but... I have seen some people with a RHW interchange where the drivers turn onto a BIG roundabout it looks awesome but can someone tell me how to make one or show me a tutorial.

[io_bg]

Can you post a picture, please?

[KoV Liberty]

Ok. I cant post an ingame pic cause i dont know how 2 make 1 an i dont have an albms folder. but let me find one... 

[onlycoop]

Is this kinda what your talking about?

[KoV Liberty]

Not really. BUT after searching for THREE hours ( ) I did find one pic from Patricus Maximus.

It is called a turbine interchange. If someone can point me to a tutorial on how to make one that would be great!

Thanks,
Driftmaster

[MandelSoft]

I think there's no tutorial yet for building this interchange. But maybe you can re-create it if you observe the picture closely and try to see what kind of pieces are used.

EDIT:
Here's my first try of creating a turbine interchange (click for full resolution):



Best,

[mike3775]

making interchanges is not that hard if you just experiment with it.

I recreated many interchanges on here just by downloading the picture and printing it up as a guide in itself.

It may have taken me awhile, but I finally got it down.

back to scheduled programming please

Oooh yay... just that minor texture bug, but this will be a real nice feature!

And nice turbine Maarten!
