RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Nego]

Another question:
Are HOV lanes possible for RHWs? That would be nice...

I'm sorry to say that HOV lanes are not possible because the game can't tell how many sims are in a car. RHW Bus Lanes are possible, though, but they haven't been made yet to my knowledge.
I know BlueLightning made a set of HOV signs, though. You can check them out here.

Edit: Speaking of RHW-6C cosmetic pieces, here is one I made a while ago:

I am interested in the release of projects Tuleps, NWM and RHW together you will be. Because as far as I remember last year came out in one day. And my thought is that if a project is ready will be released or will wait for other to come together.

Thanks for the link-not only is that HOV signage but dedicated bus lanes, which is basically what I wanted!

Will there be any enter/exit ramps that approach/stem from the left for RHD RHW-4,-6, and so on?

There is an inside exit ramp for RHW-4 and an 6C to 4 and 2 transition (which I have made tight exits with...will have to post a picture soon).

Now, who can tell me what's new in this?

[MandelSoft]

^^ I can, but that would be cheating, since I know what developents there are behind the doors. But I clearly see what you did there... 

By the way, HOV-lanes anyone?  



Best,
Maarten

A bit FARfetched SA?

[Shadow Assassin]

No, this one would be FARfetched:



Oh, and...

Wow, great progress. I love how the MIS interfaces with the Avenue in Shadow Assassin's picture. 

[samerton]

  Now that's what I call amazing! The current progress is really great.

can't say anything else.. =) awesome work guys, you've made RHW from a useless but interesting project, to a realy awesome and tottaly usable and really interactive reality highway network..
I humbly salute and bow to you, gods of SC4D!

[io_bg]

Now, who can tell me what's new in this?

Well, I spotted FAR ramps for RHW6C, TULEPS for RHW 4, and long curve connecting straight MIS and FAR MIS. And these new avenue overpasses!
All these pics are awesome, just can't wait for these new additions!

Regarding the double-decker thing . . . I did, in fact, have a prototype way back when, sometime before RHW Version 1.3 in 2007, though I don't ever recall saying it would be released in Version 1.3, which was never really intended to be more than an "emergency" compatibility release.  (It also added a whopping 3 puzzle pieces, for a grand total of 5. )

However, the DDHRW got scrapped mainly because of my subpar modeling skills then, and to a lesser extent, because of the capacity issues to which Maarten already alluded.  That's not to say it won't be revisited down the line, however.

I am interested in the release of projects Tuleps, NWM and RHW together you will be. Because as far as I remember last year came out in one day. And my thought is that if a project is ready will be released or will wait for other to come together.

Because there are components of the NAM that have been modified which interact with the RHW (the Elevated Road/OWR/Avenue pieces), the next RHW will probably come out at the same time as NAM Version 30, though I can't say with absolute certainty. 

Outside the RHW, there's only a small number of new TuLEPs pieces that are currently in active development--those will probably end up as part of TuLEPs Basic, which is a NAM Core component.  There has been some work on TuLEPs Advanced components, but until we have the menu system worked out, that side of things won't be going forward. 

The NWM isn't tied down as much on that front, though it's progressing nicely and may be part of the NAM Version 30 release cycle.

Will there be any enter/exit ramps that approach/stem from the left for RHD RHW-4,-6, and so on?

As Tracker mentioned, there already is for the RHW-4 and 6C.  6S and 8S/10S versions are planned as well.

Very good job

I have trying a similar bridge like you, but I have no time to finish this 

[Ramona Brie]

Shadow Assassin, I love everything you've dumped on us, but I see a little alignment issue with the MIS TuLEP piece...

[Blue Lightning]

That would actually be my fault I made those using bad texture specs, so, yeah, that'll be fixed by release hopefully. As a side note, straight from the developer's desk...





Poof!

[Ramona Brie]

As an aside, when will the retextured roads be released to the public? As a part of NAM 30?

[GDO29Anagram]

No, this one would be FARfetched:

AAAHHH!!! You cannot be serious!!! I had the same exact idea!!!  (All that's missing is an FA barrier.)

Now, who can tell me what's new in this?

I can tell what's obvious: More E-Ramps and more FARHW curves (like FA to Diag), just what the current FARHW is missing. However, as Tracker said, the MIS TuLEP pieces are, ironically, MISaligned.

As an aside, when will the retextured roads be released to the public? As a part of NAM 30?

The V5-spec RHW Textures? They'll be a part of the next version of RHW. It also says so in the FAQ.

MISaligned    Love it

All cheesiness aside, great work Daniel!    Those FARMIS transitions were direly needed and the FARHW6C is something I'd hoped for as well! It'd be cool to see a transition from the FARHW6C to ortho RHW6S, or RHW6S with a 1-tile median....
