RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[BigSlark]

...and the Armadillo returns! 

This is looking great, although I'm not sure if I've ever needed the capacity of a RHW-8. Either way, it'll be fun to play with!

Cheers,
Kevin

thats looking spooky alex and its not even Halloween yet     my my arent we gonna have fun testing it first when it heads our way 

[Kitsune]

Amazing work! I'm assuming the 8C is 2 tiles or 3?

[Shadow Assassin]

The 8C is 3 tiles wide, it takes up the same amount of space as the RHW 6C. Like the 6S, the 8S will take up four tiles total.

[Filasimo]

hmm heres an interesting fact: the RHW thread is about to approach 45,000 views! yay!!!

[DFire870]

Nah, just leave the barriers off, it gives the RHW an Austin-authentic feel. (I-35 in south Austin has a wide-ish grass median, but until a few years ago there were no barriers so on wet days cars would slide in the grass and cross into oncoming traffic)

Great job once again!

thought id count down to 45k like how David did in 3RR hehe. What are the odds? two milestones within 4 hours of each other 












onto 50k! 

[Shadow Assassin]

Indeed, it's on to 50k... wonder what's next.

[Glazert]

I'm sorry if this is a naïve question, but is the capacity of the different RHW carriageways proportionate to the number of lanes? In other words, does a RHW-6 have 50% more capacity than a RHW-4?

And how does this relate to the capacity of Maxis Highways? Is a Maxis Highway equivalent in capacity to a RHW-4 or an RHW-6?

That is looking very nice, Tarkus!!

And congrats on 45 000 views!!

[mightygoose]

great work on the 8c however glazert does raise an interesting point???

Make that 3...  Yesturday SAM also broke 20,000 views.  So on the same day 3 threads had milestones in views.

I have bug report for you guys, when you plop something (Buddybud's rural sunken highway walls in this case) next to some of the RHW puzzle pieces you get an extra texture showing up:



I've noticed this happens on the 4-6S transition shown there and MIS entrance A (I think).

Fred

[Kitsune]

It happens no matter what is next to those two pieces.



I ment to post this earlier, but it appears as if the RHW itself can also carry power, but I dont know how to properly post a picture of this.

MOD EDIT: Combined double post, try and use the modify button next time Kitsune. - Fred

Lay a stretch of the RHW, put a building that needs power on the one end, a power plant on the other, turn on "Power" in Data View, speed things up, and voilà!

[Jonathan]

I tryed that it didn't work. But if it did it would mean draggable rural powerlines would be possible.

[Filasimo]

Hey Fred,

Thanks for pointing that out. Theres been widespread reports of that happening,. There may be a fix for that in a possible patch and or next version. So make sure to stop by for more information pertaining to that issue. 

[dragonshardz]

no, no that's not bad that's awesome! That way we won't have to disfigure our rural areas with powerlines, just drag a RHW and boom! Buildings with "self-contained" power plants, with road access in the bargain!

[krbe]

Fred is the guy that pointed out that there is a faulty texture in the MIS, and that's not awesome

However, Warrior tells us that the RHW doesn't carry electricity. Maybe the puzzle pieces from the MIS do it (as they have to be plopped), but it seems like the RHW only carries commuters.
