RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

Wow, Alex! That might be the last piece I need to complete a masterpiece.

Congratulations on 2,000 posts!

Awesomeness! Though shouldn't that splitter have V-shaped chevrons?

Well, ardecila is from Chicago, so the splitter has Illinois markings.

So you're going to end up with an amalgam of mostly Oregon markings with a few Illinois markings thrown in for good measure with the default Version 3.0 textures.

hmmm.... ok. I'd never seen that before.
Besides, that's what retexturing is for!

Indeed.

In fact, I'm not sure I had ever seen that before, until I Googled Chicago and took a look at the Kennedy Freeway there.

I kind of had a suspicion, but only then was it confirmed. Here in Oregon, except when there's a splitter on an RHW-2 or the like, there's usually no cross-hatching or chevrons at all.

And as I've done in the past, I'll try to keep tabs on the various texture tweaks and T21 addons out there, and link to them in the FAQ.

Can a A RHW -10 split into; 1 -MIS & And A RHW -8,And RHW -4 , A RHW-8
RW6 and RHW -6 or RHW-6 and RHW-4

Thomas Diamond, I don't entirely understand your post, but if you're asking about "Exit Only" lane setups on the wider RHWs, the answer is not yet.

nerdly_dood · November 09, 2008, 04:14:10 PM

Not bad! I could really use this new MIS x2/RHW-4 splitter... And around here they are indeed chevrons: they are painted so that if they were solid barriers, they would push vehicles into the lane they're supposed to be in... if that makes any sense...

Anyway, can't wait to try it out for myself!

I asked and you didn't answer me... Will there be curved rhw6 in v3.0 and just answer me straight.

Maybe it's just me, but maybe you should phrase your question more politely or read back a few posts where Alex (Tarkus) clearly answers this question.

Pat · November 10, 2008, 09:14:46 AM

also getting rude with a admin is not the smartest thing to do either just a little heads up!!!

darraghf · November 10, 2008, 01:47:22 PM

Sorry,I dodnt mean to come out as rude. I just didnt understand in the post he did make about diagonal rhw6. VBeacuse he did not actually answer it clearly answer it in my opinion.

Excuse me if i sounded rude.

bob56 · November 10, 2008, 01:55:59 PM

This whole project is amazing. There are so many more new capabilities! I can't wait!!

debutterfly · November 10, 2008, 03:02:08 PM

Haven't seen much from the NAM Associates. Must be some real intensive Alpha Builds.

Or RL

bob56 · November 10, 2008, 03:04:22 PM

hopefully alpha builds, but id rather wait to make sure its working properly than have it released with chaotic issues...

I'll "answer you straight". From what I've seen, the answer is yes. However, I do not know the mechanics behind it or how stable it is.

pagenotfound · November 10, 2008, 04:23:47 PM

but as far as smooth curves go Im not sure if those are in the works. To me sounds like that would be possible since the 4 lane RHW (current) has them. I sure hope that is the case.

The answer is most likely. Not 100% yes, but probably about 75% yes. It may end up being Puzzle Piece-based, at least in the interim. The draggable setup is a little messy.

There aren't any smooth curves yet. There actually won't be any new smooth curves added this time around. The only thing that will be different with them is added dummy paths to eliminate the "hangup" you get when placing them. There are probably some folks out there who have been wanting RHW-4 Drag Stubs off of them, but due to the way Puzzle Drag Starters work on the diagonals, and the way the RHW-4 diagonals are set up, it may not be feasible.
