RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Tarkus]

A200, that's a lot of requests. One thing at a time, my friend.

Rest assured, though.  There will be plenty of new stuff you'll probably like coming to the RHW at some point in the near future.

Well, it would be usefull that the El-RHW and El-MIS can go over all RHW networks (not only MIS, RHW-2 and RHW-4).

[Tarkus]

I am pleased to announce the release of RHW Version 3.2.  This release is strictly a "bugfixing" release coinciding with the NAM March 2009 release and no other new features have been added.

Among the bugfixes:
-All previous path fixes have been incorporated
-RUL Bugfixes addressing some MIS T-Intersections, along with improved stability for ERHW-4/EMIS-over-RHW-4/MIS draggable overpasses

As such, you'll need the NAM March 2009 in order to take advantage of all the improved functionality.  For more info on the new NAM release, read here

Its about time someone posted....

Anyway, here is a little teaser on what might come later:

Now, that's beautiful work, Vince!    I sense a bright future ahead for the RHW.

A Modder and a BATer wow
It looks good so far, maybe a little more of a curve at the top and bottom of the ramp?

Those are awesome tunnells

BTW Do they work like big dig tunnels or are they UDI enabled?

[Kitsune]

considering the world Flup is used, then that means its UDI enabled...

[io_bg]

  Nice work! Maybe they'll look better with more sloped entrances. I also think the MIS ramp is a bit too wide, but still great work!

[woodb3kmaster]

I also think the MIS ramp is a bit too wide, but still great work!

I agree, actually. I think the MIS ramp would look better if it were only as wide as the MIS lane, plus a little bit of shoulder space.

Let me just take this opportunity to praise Alex and the rest of the NAM team for their hard and mostly bug-free work. Y'all rock! That being said, I'd like to make mention of what I hope to see in RHW 4.0. In my highway-building frenzy, I've come across situations where additional diagonal capabilities are needed to build as I'd like to build. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:



At present, I can't cross this RHW over this railroad, simply because both are diagonal. I also have several diagonal Avenue overpasses I like to build over diagonal RHWs. I'm sure you're already working on this as I post, and I'm familiar with the NAM team adage, "It'll be ready when it's ready," but I just wanted to encourage y'all to consider making diagonal capabilities a priority for RHw 4.0.

In any event, keep up the fantastic work!

[metarvo]

For the time until the great day that diagonal el-RHW overpasses can be built, I have developed a little workaround [tutorial linkie] that allows a diagonal overpass to be built over networks.  Even though the diagonal el-RHW goes over an Avenue in this pic, the same technique could be applied for Rail as well.  I hope this helps, woodb3kmaster. 

[woodb3kmaster]

Thanks, metarvo! That should hold me over until I can build true diagonal overpasses.

The tunnel lights are bright... maybe too bright...

You can try toning the brightness down as well as adding a concrete texture to the wall of the tunnel entrance.

As well, I wouldn't be surprised if this was used on other network FLUPs as well.

Found a bug: Monorail cannot cross the RHW 6C.

[Haljackey]

Found a bug: Monorail cannot cross the RHW 6C.

Are you sure?  I got it to cross over the RHW-6C and it functions normally as well.

You might want to take another look and see if all the terrain is level.  If the 3-tiled 6C is on the slightest slope no draggable network can cross it because it is so wide. 

[Kitsune]

Nope, its perfectly flat. No traffic was going over it, as soon as the 6C was removed some 30K was going over that stretch. Its odd.

[deathtopumpkins]

I've gotten monorail to cross it too, just not HSRP which I can live with.

Ah . . . what the heck . . .
