RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[XL2007]

It looks fantastic! 

And gentle curves and departure puzzles will be provided for to multi RHW?

I hope so.

This all looks great   

[nerdly_dood]

I'd like to make a multi-RHW using several (at least a dozen) layers of RHW-10 and then gradually merging them down to a single RHW-2 in as little space as possible just to experiment... (I wonder what would happen if all those RHW-10s were congested and went down to a single RHW-2... The term "parking lot" comes to mind...)



Hey! A short section of multi-RHW-10 could be used for a reaslitically wide toll booth! (The only problem is that around such RL toll booths the pavement only has edge lines... at least afaik)

[Monorail Master]

Yeah, that's what we need. A RHW 2-10 TOLL BOOTH! Anyway, I am haveing a hard time picking up my jaw from that RHW-4 to RHW-10 conversion!

speechless.....





will the RHWAM rermain compatible with v.21?

[metarvo]

This is the real deal, Alex!  I also see that some of you are getting the opportunity to play around with the new RHW.  Those are some nice pics, Casper and Andreas.

I have yet to find a decent divider for my networks.

I agree that more choices would be an improvement.  Still, I've seen GTR, and I don't see anything wrong with your networks, Hal, or the dividers you currently use.

will the RHWAM rermain compatible with v.21?

Yes, it will.  Nothing in Version 21 has changed that would prevent it from working properly.

Amazing work Alex...who would have thought that this all came from a few individuals accidentally finding an unfinished network?    The ANT has come a long way!
Great pics Casper and Andreas

Question: Since diagonal versions of higher-capacity RHW will be unavailable, will longer 90-degree turns be made available? That way we don't have to downgrade them to have a curve...

that's certainly an understatement      me =

Forgive my ignorance, but what does RHWAM stand for?

[Haljackey]

I was able to play around with "RHW Version 0.21 alpha build 2" today, and I have mixed reactions.  Of course, it is still a work-in-progress so this is understandable. 

I have 2 pics to show you from my initial resting.

I am very impressed with the elevated RHW.  Its a beauty! 


And my first RHW-10  :


Several tweaks still need to be done, but it's getting there!  I hope you enjoyed it!

Best,

RHW Addon Mod. Of course it will need to have some reconstrunction for the next version, it won't have stuff for the wider networks.

[Tarkus]

Question: Since diagonal versions of higher-capacity RHW will be unavailable, will longer 90-degree turns be made available? That way we don't have to downgrade them to have a curve...

Unfortunately, no.  You'll have the option of splitting an RHW-8 into two RHW-4s in the interim, though.

hate to jack the thread, but...

@haljackey: what are those dividers and lights on your RWH10 there?  looks really nice!

[MandelSoft]

@Choco: Those are the Highway light towers V2

Wow! Very nice stuff! Can't wait to get this 

[kings_niners]

so am i to take it that neighbor connectivity has been fixed with the rhw-10??

[MandelSoft]

Just a quick overview what has happened last year:

The draft of a RHW-4/MIS transition back when I was a newbie on SC4D:


And here, nine months later, the realisation, with many other pieces:


I've one thing to say about that:
Thank you!
Best,
Maarten

[Patricius Maximus]

Haljackey -- there are times when I'm envious of you -- this is one of them.

[Tarkus]

so am i to take it that neighbor connectivity has been fixed with the rhw-10??

Technically, the neighbor connectivity does work on all of the RHWs, if you use a technique called a "loop connector".  Basically, with the wider RHWs, you'll just drag the RHW between the two sides to "break" the override. 



The method on the RHW-4 is a little different--see here. 

It is possible to produce some sort of overhanging "camouflage" lot, too.  I've also considered making a puzzle piece of some sort that functions in this same way, but blends in with the RHW better.

Hope that answers your question!

it does thank you
