RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[el_cozu]

Thanks for the advice... today after work    i'll try using the Mac installer

keep it up... happy weekstart XD

-----------------

I just did it... and it worked perfectly fine!!  thanks for the advice again... 

now i'll be able to use the RHW again

Example 1:

Call me a pedant if you will, but haven't you got the yellow lines the wrong way around on those diagrams? 

(Sorry, couldn't help but notice it!).

Hi people! I'd like to have your impression on this idea: particular puzzle pieces to allow creation of frontage roads... something like this

[Haljackey]

Lollo: Very cool!  This can also be applied to a collector/express system (multi-RHW network), where you can transfer between the the inside (express) and outside (collector) lanes or vice versa. 

This would be something I would use very extensively and would really improve the context and functionability of the multi-RHW network!

Do you believe in me if i say i had the idea while thinking about your highways and interchanges? 

[Jonathan]

Good Idea, This could probably be made draggable somehow.

[DFire870]

That looks great and would work well for me, since I like using frontage roads (since Texas has them everywhere). However, that configuration would only work for the collector/express system like haljackey said. For true frontage roads the outside two lanes would need to be a one-way road, especially since the frontage roads have buildings next to them.

And I think Alex was working on ramps for frontage roads, but I could be wrong.

Yes I would, but I never use frontage roads though.  Personally, I don't like them, but this transfer could be applied to them if you transition a OWR to a RHW-4 and then back.  That way, it can connect to buildings.

Interesting concept anyway!  It will sure make a collector/express transfer much easier!  They are a pain to construct!

i used to use fontage roads... but... the sims are more likely to use fontage roads than the highays... so... i just put 2 or 3 avenue-HW intersections in every city... and then i connect them to the different city zones...

I feel the same way. The frontage road would be all congested and Highway would be empty and sometimes it would cause a ripple effect with no-work-zots.

[RebaLynnTS]

I use frontage roads within city limits, but do not connect them to the edge, so sims have to use the highway to get to another city (or rail, or subway).

Another way I found is to place toll boths on the frontage roads next to city connections, sims still use it, but more take the highway.

[Crissa]

Always make the frontage roads do loops and curves and unexplained dead-ends.

Then it'll look just like Silicon Valley x-x

I use a set of frontage roads in the spaceport in my MD, the frontage roads are basically just a loop that stays in the city.

Best way to do it in my opinion.

Tarkus, that is a great idea and you have my word to work on it. It looks great. JKB

[MandelSoft]

Those fronage roads are a really good idea
I would like to see them in the RHW-mod.

[Lollo]

Well... I don't know if it's the right place to post, but i'd like to show up my own (early) version of a rhw tunnel, based on buddybud's underpasses in the modding and lotting aspects, and on a rough model of mine...

[shanghai kid]

wow, this looks very real

[Toichus Maximus]

Awesome tunnel! 

Those look like sodium based lights, so you should make the red part of the reflector almost black--that'd be really neat

Can't wait to see more!

[j-dub]

Judging from the 2.5 tiles size, is this going to overhang, and is this design for going under a hill? I have RHW underpasses that slope down first then, go under a intersecting RHW. There is a height warning sign at the top. This version wouldn't be 1x1 tile size like Buddybuds underpasses would it? Would it be too late to add signage like Buddybud's?That would be awesome, I think Blahdy's RHW tunnel goes 3 tiles long. Like what I see so far. 

[Haljackey]

Lollo: Very cool!  Is it UDI compatible?  That's why I have never used buddybud's underpasses.
