RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

Will the ERHW-6C ERHW-8S and ERHW-10S have diagonal functionality?

Will the ERHW-6C ERHW-8S and ERHW-10S have diagonal functionality?

Which one? Just saying ERHW isn't enough; There are four different height levels now.

The L1 and L2 elevated versions of all of those networks will have diagonal functionality.  There's been pics of it all over this thread already.

Presumably, L2, given that's the height most people are used to working with.

[AngryBirdsFan436]

Well, what about the L3 and L4 RHW-4 and RHW-6S?

Is this legal?

It's called a deceleration lane; Of course it's legal... Unless you're referring to something else...

[esto]

It is an 8C/6C - no tuleps or anything.  Will it network?

[Tarkus]

You don't need to use the cosmetic pieces in order for that setup to be functional.  That's precisely why they're called cosmetic pieces.  (They technically aren't TuLEPs.)

Well, what about the L3 and L4 RHW-4 and RHW-6S?

Yes.  They'll have diagonals, too, and I'm fairly certain I've shown them around this thread at some point.

[esto]

I didn't use any cosmetic pieces either

[AngryBirdsFan436]

Well, I have 3 questions:

1: Will the draggable FAR be implemented with the RHW?
2: Will there be more costemic pieces with the RHW-6C/8C?
3: This maybe inappropriate to ask, but what is the percent completed for NAM 31?

you are the mayor, you decide whay is legal or not

1. Autoconnect is the main concern that could potentially break draggable FARHW. Until further experiments are done showing how it plays along, there's no way to tell.
2. You're gonna wanna ask the other NAM Team Pony (Maarten)...
3. Can't say; There's no easy way to say how much is done already and how much is left, but at this point, the entire thing is looking to be quite whole, despite all the other holes that still exist.

[MandelSoft]

Yes, there will be new cosmetic pieces in the next NAM including extra marking variations, CPs for diagonal RHW-2 and FARHW-2 and RHW-6C and 8C

Regarding the autoconnect I don't think parallel stubs connect in a hairpin...

A number of the FAR components involve adjacent Road stubs. Port that to RHW right now, setup fails.

[AngryBirdsFan436]

Anyway, will there be a future release that the RHW will no longer autoconnect or it's hardcoded?

[GDO29Anagram]

Hardcoded. There are pieces that are completely immune to Autoconnect, but the same can't be same with stopping it altogether.

[Tarkus]

In 7 years of RHW development (and about 1-2 with the base network before that), we've not figured out a way to disable auto-connect.  And trust me, we've tried.  It's well-established theory that it's a hard-coded matter.

Well, are there anymore events of Teasefest for us to drool again?  Or is the Teasefest campaign temporarily suspended by the NAM government?
