RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Ramona Brie]

Suggestion for RHW-6CE (elevated): a starter piece for the median and then a starter piece for each of the sides. The RULs for going over other RHW networks would be screwy, though.

[Blue Lightning]

Tracker: Funny that you mentioned that....



Though I dont think the seperable starter would be a good idea, as it does make things a little more complex.

Tarkus, thanks so much!  I wasn't sure that was going to be implemented in version 4.0.

Daniel, congrats!  Looks very nice.

AMAZING!!! Finally something other than El RHW 4.

[dragonshardz]

Here's hoping for a release soon, maybe....

Labor Day?

Christmas at the latest, c'mon, you can't keep us drooling here for much longer. There will come a point at which there's nowhere to stand for all the drool...among other things.

[KoV Liberty]

I'll get a mop...

[joelyboy911]

Speaking of seperable starter pieces, did anyone else realise that with one more override and a few more puzzle pieces we could have RHW's of infinite width...

EL-RHW-6 looks superb, btw.

[dragonshardz]

Actually, no. Please explain, this sounds intruiging.

[KoV Liberty]

Like a RHW 12, 14, 16, 100. 

[Tarkus]

Blue, you are officially awesome!  Whoever said "lightning doesn't strike the same place twice" has obviously never read the RHW thread and seen your work.  (Sorry, couldn't resist that one. )

Speaking of seperable starter pieces, did anyone else realise that with one more override and a few more puzzle pieces we could have RHW's of infinite width...

Yes, I've been thinking about that since Xyloxadoria posted a diagram here a few months ago proposing such a feature.  It looks feasible in a lot of regards--the only possible issue would be figuring out the diagonals.  The overpass puzzle pieces could easily be modularized, and the way many of the Wider RHW MIS Ramp Interfaces are laid out, they could actually be re-used (without modification) on Ultra-Wide RHWs.  ("Ultra-Wide" is the "official" term I've used to refer to anything wider than the RHW-10.)

There will come a point at which there's nowhere to stand for all the drool...among other things.

Well, as much as development has heated up lately, it'll probably evaporate.  

Let's not get carried away thinking about release dates here, though.  Besides, you'll soon have other . . . distractions . . . here in the NAM world.

I know I sound like a broken record...but I am amazed at what this project has become!    So many new things happen everyday! This is definitely what Maxis wished they had accomplished!

Vince! Excellent job,again! Alex...I'm so glad that you were able to keep this going for so long as now you have so much "new blood" to get even more jammed in!

True, true, but a release would be great. And by other distractions, do you mean that possibly, maybe, there might be a release of the NWM?

Like a RHW 12, 14, 16, 100.

Ok, RHW-12, -14, and -16 makes sense. But RHW-100? That's crazy!

[Tarkus]

Nope.  I mean this.

I do not know if only having 6 hours of sleep in the past 48 hour and travelling 16 hours in that timeframe is taking its toll on me but does anyone have any suggestions for connected the two MIS paths in the following picture. If I try to connect them, it sends the elevated RHW down to the ground and connects to the MIS pieces. Any help would be appreciated

[joelyboy911]

The thing with overrides of the same network is that, well, they override eachother. Thats why you need puzzle pieces to connect GLR to El-Rail. Therefore, you need a puzzle piece for this spot. I'm not 100% certain if one exists (I'm more of a OWR tunnel man for these types of scenario) but logically, you would think one would have been created.

There is some overrides in place for Elevated RHW over MIS, but diagonals arent

Yeah, the only way i know of is to straighten the diagonal RHW, then the MIS should be able to drag under and work.

[Shadow Assassin]

...Actually, you won't even have to worry about that. Pretty soon, because RUL14 has been cracked, you'll be able to do diagonal-diagonal crossings, even with different overrides, much more easily now.

Just wait and see.

[Korot]

The problem with that is that it will be released with RHW v4 at the soonest, with can be next year to the extend of my knowledge.
