Has there been any progress on the NWM going over the larger RHW's such as the RHW 8 or 10? Great work on everything guys and gals!

Right now, the NWM can't go over any networks, as there are no overpass pieces. I'm not sure yet whether or not there will be in the next release. There's been nothing done on that front so far, and it's been leaning toward the "no" side simply because of the sheer amount of stuff we have in the works already. We'll see, though.

Are you planning on making diagonal version of the NWM because real roads of this type are curved and go in different direction and not just straight

MandelSoft · June 04, 2011, 01:40:28 AM

Yes, there will be diagonal versions of the two- and three-tile NWM networks. Only their diagonal intersection capabilities are limited.

Yeah, so I just went to YouTube recently.

Great find, Ganaram--thanks for sharing (and for the amusing caption)!

Hopefully this one will stay up.

(And congrats on graduating!

I suggest someone DL the videos via that third party site while their up for backup purposes, and without red flagged music just to be safe.

Wiimeiser · June 07, 2011, 03:03:55 PM

"Red flagged" music would be anything owned by Vevo or WMG, so unless you use music from games or original music it isn't really possible

jdenm8 · June 07, 2011, 04:32:04 PM

Vevo don't own nothing, they're just an online distribution platform that's not even available outside North America throwing their weight around much like Viacom does.

Wiimeiser · June 08, 2011, 12:42:06 AM

But at least they legally have the right to. If they launched worldwide now, they'd lose something like $69,120,000.00 a day. That's like $800 a second. Probably not that extreme, but you get the idea.

Tarkus · June 08, 2011, 01:06:57 AM

Alright, I think we've discussed YouTube copyright enough . . .

Let's get back on topic.

Work on OxD intersections is progressing nicely.

ivo_su · June 08, 2011, 05:55:28 AM

Super, it seems quite beautiful and most importantly it will be useful. Go on Alex, we are with you. Now I can not wait to get out the new NAM and everything else I count the seconds until their release.

Nice.

Is there an ARD-3 Lanes Shift piece to change the direction of the middle lane? I have been looking through my tab rings to no avail.

I have a road that is so ready for AVE-6. Right now it's two OWR-2s with a grassy median, but soon...

jdenm8 · June 08, 2011, 06:00:04 PM

At the moment, there is no ARD-3 lane shift piece. I don't normally see roads go straight from one direction for the central lane to the other. A solution would be to convert to from ARD-3 to AVE-2, then from AVE-2 to the other ARD-3.

Tarkus · June 08, 2011, 06:11:43 PM

The Dual Type A Transition that jondor did, which will be added to the TuLEPs Basic system as part of NAM Version 30, would fit the bill perfectly.

In one direction anyway. It will allow 1 lane in each direction to divide into two, but it won't take care of the opposing situation where two lanes merge into one at the transition.

Tarkus, in the next release will there be crosswalks for the TLA-5, and 7 intersections with streets? There is one for the MAVE-4, but not TLA-5.

Unlikely. MAVE-4s tend to be more "urban" than "suburban", so the crosswalks make sense there . . . they make less sense on a TLA-5 and even less on the TLA-7, where you'd really want a signalized intersection to cross a road that wide.
