RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Glazert]

I think my first post in this thread was looking forward to the possibility of RHW-10 - there is a real-world 10-lane stretch in central Glasgow, and I have come across others in Britain. Soon there will be nothing in the real world which we can't do here as a result of those who have worked hard on RHW and other NAM innovations!

Excellent work with the RHW-10! I am curious, though, as to how they are made - is there a center starter piece and one for each edge (which would enable many more than 10 lanes) or is it just a single RHW-10 starter piece?

  DUDE! This is awesome

[Tarkus]

Glad you all like the RHW-10!  nerdly, to answer your question, it's basically set up like the RHW-6S.

Another little new development, which I think some will enjoy.  I'm still tweaking it some more, to get the placement working a little better.

Ooh... diagonal...

That's not something you see every day.

And that RHW-10 shown earlier is insane too!

[metarvo]

Judging by the other pics, this one seems to show a diagonal RHW-4 with a MIS ramp exit.  However, I had to look closely to see if it was diagonal or not.  That's good, right?

[metasmurf]

Really nice Tarkus  Question: will there be on/offramps for RHW-3 in the next version?

Cheers

The RHW-10 scares me a little... 

Amazing Tarkus, I think that we will have tons of teasers then there will be a realese... I think that it might come in Mid-October now...

It is diagonal.

This is something I need... see the Patrician Showcase for more info...

I've been MIA  for quite some time because of school but I've always managed to check and see the great progress that RHW is maintaining. Great work Tarkus. Will RHW-10 have onramps that shoot of it as opposed to being one tile off the main RHW?

[nerdly_dood]

Whoa - type A diagonal! Type B diagonal would be useful... (and so would everything else that's available as orthagonal for that matter...)

@ Godjcjk12: I think it's pretty certain that RHW-10 will also have a type-B MIS offramp too.

[b22rian]

Wow... 10 lanes... Something many have wanted since the release of Rush Hour (or earlier!). 

Because something of this size has never been made for SC4 yet, it looks somewhat out of place to me due to its sheer bulk.  But, there's a first for everything!

In fact, this may make the Multi-RHW obsolete (Which I just made a new guide for in the hows-tos section).
-That is, unless you want a RHW-20 .

When i first saw it i was left spechless..!
it is out of place as you say because its just so amazing ..
Its like a dream come true this has come so far...
I guess the wider ones, the 8 and 10 laners.. was always something i wanted the most in this game..

Thanks a lot Alex for everything..

Cool! A diagonal ramp. That will give us a huge boost of possible interchanges (a ortho-diagonal cloverleaf for example?)

[bat]

That diagonal ramp is looking nice and useful! Still looking forward to more teasers...

I thought about something:
It could be interesting to have the possibility to make express lines and ramp line

See a exemple here

Watch carefully the ramb between the express lines and the ramps lines

umm it already is possible...haljackey can tell you all about it...i can post a pic if you need...

haljackey can tell you all about it.

Actually I don't need to!

I just posted a revised guide on the "NAM How-Tos and Tutorials" about making a Multi-RHW with version 20.

However, I know you are talking about the transitions between the two ma360.  Currently you need to use MIS/one way roads to connect them together, but version 21 should be different.  You may be able to split off a RHW-4 off a RHW-8 to connect with another RHW-4 to form another RHW-8, connecting the collector and express lanes together. 

However thats just an assumption for now.  You can bet that I will play around with the concept when version 0.21 becomes public and post my findings, forming a guide soon after.

Anyways I hope you find this info and the new guide useful!

Best,

The RHW-10 is here!  Way to go, Alex!   Maybe it will be released on Halloween, and maybe not.  The most important thing to me is that it will be good, but I don't think I have any worries there.

EDIT:  As of 9:16 a.m. CDT, I did see this interesting number appear in the poll:



Judging by its position, I wonder if it's some kind of sign.

Oi Vey. heres the truth ok, I think tarkus will Not release this addon until next year. why? because hes got a RL and he cant be doing this for his whole life. and sine he wont tell us the ETA, thats his descision. I decided to vote for 2009 and beyond or it may never be released at all 

[Haljackey]

I decided to vote for 2009 and beyond or it may never be released at all 

It will be released.  Version 0.21 is nearly finished!  The question is, when?
