RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

Wait...I thought those rails were for haljackey's bullet train.

It appears to me you're correct, kj.  The APTX Shinkansen/Bullet Train Mod actually replaces the Monorail models with the Elevated Light Rail models, with the catenaries added on as props via Type21 Exemplars.

I'll be back with a little more stuff in a little bit . . . probably just some interchanges I've built with the new RHW.   My big priority right now with RHW Version 3.0 before it goes public is stabilizing the Draggable RHW-over-RHW overpasses.

Actually, those catenaries are part of the support models. No T21's involved. This also explains why they rotate to match the alignment of the tracks as they turn.

Thanks for the correction, Jan.   That would explain it.

At any rate, the aforementioned interchange pics I promised . . . featuring the new Elevated RHW models . . .

This here is just a simple underpass interchange--something you couldn't really do without workarounds in Version 2.0.  That's no longer the case in 3.0.



And here's a couple pics showing part of a very large interchange . . . there's actually a sort of "loop" involving those Elevated RHW-4s.  The fun stuff you can do with modularity.

OMG AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

[Haljackey]

Nice!  The El-RHW is looking fantastic Alex!
-I also noticed you are using a longer road-avenue transition.  Hmm...

And yes, That's the bullet train mod in the RHW-2 bridge pic.  Gantries for overhead wires appear in every circumstance with the mod except for bridges, one of the few visual drawbacks of that amazing mod by APTX.

Best,

Did I just spot Swamper's new models and the new avenue transition?

It looks awesome!

lokking great

He's got some of them in there. He doesn't appear to have them all in yet. If he did, there would be pillars in the median of the RHW6C under the overpasses and there would be median walls going around said pillars.

Ok. Now I'm just wondering about a RHW-4XRHW-4 intersection. example below.

Is one of those el-rhw?

[A200]

So can we have elevated RHW exits? Sweet 

What about MIS bridges? Will they ever be available *is thinking of new excellent ideas for interchanges*

[Patricius Maximus]

Tarkus, I like those models, and the "completeness" of the interchange.

[puncher1076]

Wow! Alex, your EL-RHW models looks great! I can't wait till release!

Certainly! There will be MIS-bridges (I've got a alpha version, which includes El-MIS).

[Tarkus]

Well, to clarify, those models were not made by me, but rather, they were made by Swamper77, my partner in crime with this project.  It's all thanks to his help on the modeling end that the Elevated RHW is going to be part of RHW Version 3.0.

I do know that, but they were on your interchange, and that was what thing of yours I was complementing.

[metarvo]

That's an spectacular interchange you've got there, Alex.  RHW Day will be a great day, if I do say so myself.

[bat]

That is looking really fantastic! Nice work!

The amazing thing about Swamper77's highway models is that in addition to being the excellent quality I've learned to expect from him, he's also been able to  put a lot of time and effort into his automata modding, as seen in the latest pages of Swamper's Garage.
