Title: Roundabout!
Post by: 911Diva on May 31, 2017, 06:33:44 AM
Good Morning!  At least here in the Upper Peninsula of MI is it! 

I have been searching for the Roundabout base file for 2 weeks and am unable to find it!  :'( :'(  I have found all the fillers, but not the base!  &hlp

Can any of my fellow players give me a hint???

Glad it was useful!


And for the vanished files problem, the best option is to keep a backup of your plugins folder and a relatively ordered folder for your downloaded plugins, to be able to repair damaged installations or make futher adjustements. For that, I use this neat management software (http://sc4tools.co.uk/sc4t_downloads.asp)

Thanks Matias93!!  After installing the NAM 35 again yesterday it still will not show me a roundabout!  The new software looks like a fantastic idea.  I was unaware of it's existence!  Thanks for the information.

There are a number of roundabouts in the NAM, for the various networks. So you can make them using the street or road tool, just chain 4 90-degree bends together and it will transform into a 2x2 roundabout. Using the One Way Road tool, make a circle 3x3 tiles in size, making sure to leave the middle empty, once more you get a roundabout. Lastly using the menu entry "Ave Intersections", you can tab through a number of potential roundabout solutions. Most are based on the Avenue network, GLR (Tram) interoperability and lastly some Turbo Roundabouts, which can be used with some NWM networks.

Check out my NAM Tutorials series on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBZqF2_LiJeBb3PRm6PFPGg) for a more in-depth guide to these (It's Part 2 you'll want).

Just FYI, the NAM installer is special, unlike other mods you don't need to uninstall/reinstall it. If you need to change the installation settings, just run the installer once more, it will remember all your previous settings. So for example you could remove something you didn't want or add something you did (probably you missed installing the roundabouts). Check out the "Custom Install" option, which gives you access to all the various options.
