RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[the7train]

Hey Everyone, is there a way to fix this? Are there any diag 6C filler pieces? It's very difficult to build a gradual s-curve with 6C fractional angle to diagonal pieces unless you establish the diagonal for a while.  Thanks for your help!

[Shadow Assassin]

Unfortunately no there aren't.

But in a future version of RHW, they will be added in.

[the7train]

ok thanks

Can bridges have overhangs?

Because I believe median overhangs may be a solution for the wider RHW bridges puzzle...

Can bridges have overhangs?

They can, and if I recall, that's exactly how a prototypical 6C bridge worked (It was back in page 300-something). The downside with that prototype was this: You can't drive in the median because you'll fall off the bridge.

There's already a solution for some of the other RHW bridges (such as 8S, 10S, and dual RHW-4): Use the Maxis Highways instead.

We are also planning something else: Puzzle Piece based bridges, which you can build in the same way as the diagonal bridges...

I went back in time, and found something relating to this on Page 313.

I figured it might make it to that eventually, can't wait.

Are elevated RHW transition planned?such as ERHW4 to ERHW6s transitions..?
Wow that bridge on page 313 is wonderful!!
And about the bridge puzzle pieces...that would be awesome too!!!
regarding the guardrail mod...maybe the old one could be reuploaded?

Sorry to repeat myself, but I really do need RHW-8 </> RHW-4 & RHW-6 "A3" MIS piece (the current A2 piece does RHW-8 </> RHW-4 & RHW-4). Any chances that you could make one of these, along with other similar pieces? (see the A1(M)/A14 J14 in the UK, links below)

^^ That looks like an RHW-10S Type E2 ramp, not a RHW-8 Type A3 ramp...

[mike3775]

It would be sweet if bridges were puzzle pieces, as then I could actually have RHW bridges over water and not have to transition to MHW for bridges, or have to split off the highways(I always use the RHW10, I can never seem to get the MIS ramps to work well with anything smaller)into 3 and 2 lanes to do bridges over other RHW's.

Oh, that's because it goes from four lanes to five lanes, and then to two and three lanes (southbound). A bit confusing, but check all of the photos (top three)! The northbound photos (lower four) may make a bit more sense!

I actually overestimated; It was actually page 278. There were two bridges to note on that page: One was the 6C "bridge" made using the zero-slope method (the underlying method behind the DBE) and the other 6C bridge featuring the non-functional median.

I'd prefer the zero-slope bridge because the other would cause bottlenecks (and you'd end up falling down the middle if you were to UDI on it).

Working prototype from 2 days ago


Rough models, broken/derpy shadows, and missing a median wall - its a prototype anyways

GD: They're both bridges with overhanging medians But this one is actually a Zero-Slope. As is this older prototype.

Oh  boy, oh boy!
This is great and I left without words. Blue Lightning I want to congratulate you on your brilliant invention. I'm told many times that I dream of seeing three tile bridge and it seems to now be a reality. A long time I speak it would be incredibly useful to have bridges for RHW-6C and RHW-8C. Hopefully the layout of parts to the required level and I want to ask you to publish photos of the stages, because I will monitor the development of this project with the greatest interest.

Respect for the NAM,

P.S. Anyway, i' wondering if your first Guardrail mod works with current RHW-4. If so, where can i find the old Guardrail mod? Is it still online? Thanks in advance for the help.

To my knowledge, it's still buried somewhere in the thread, probably in the page 100-200 range.  However, it was designed for either RHW 2.0 or 3.0 (I can't remember which) and users had remarked about it not working well with 4.0 (which means it definitely won't work well with 5.0).

About the GuardRail mod, i found the old file: effectively it's still somewhere in the page 110-120 range (now i can't find it again, lol).
I'll give it a try on the Rhw 5.0, only for my curiousity.
Thanks for the help.

If anyone wants the guardrail mod, let me know, I do have the files somewhere, as I still use it without issues with RHW 5.0. I have never actually had problems with the mod myself while using it with 5.0, although strangely, I did experience issues with RHW4 during 4.0 but those issues are gone now. I'd upload the files assuming I get permission to do so.

Thanks Bipin, but luckly i found it. Nice to see you'r still using it without problems. I'm starting the game right now just to test it.

[mike3775]

Stupid questions time.  I have read the instructions for the neighbor connector pieces over and over and maybe I am just not getting it(or am over thinking it), but if I have a RHW 10 with 2 tile gaps in between the two segments, as well as a one tile gap on either side(taking 8 tiles total) on a sunken RHW-10, do I need to use the NC Underground Loop on the sides as well or just in the 2 tile median?  Also to make sure I am doing it right, the arrows must point towards the highway segments as well?

Thanks

Mike

You only need to use Neighbour Connection pieces between RHW routes, so only in the median in this case.

Thats what I thought, but I wasn't 100% sure. 

thanks
