Its one of those games you always come back to.

New content and releases of things like the RHW also help keep the game "fresh".

I'm assuming "brigades" was supposed to be "bridges"?

-Alex

Yes, I would like large brigades spamming mine walters.

SimCity 4 is still alive after eight years. Mario Kart Wii is already dying after two and a half (no custom content).

As always, much thanks to Tarkus and the rest of the NAM Team on all the work and effort put into the RHW and other projects.  .There's no question that great things are in store for the next version. I was wondering about HEMIS if that's what it's called. Just recently, I was persuing through some of the old NAM forums and came upon its development. It looked really promising...Will HEMIS ever be incorprated into the RHW like the Higher Elevated Rail? Hope you know what I'm referring to. Anyways, once again much appreciation 

[jdenm8]

HEMIS, like all the multi-level networks, is intended to be included in RHWv5, so probably not the next version.

@ godjcjk12 - Not sure if you came across it in your perusing but besides HEMIS (30m elevated), 7.5m & 22.5m networks are planned as well 

[Tarkus]

HEMIS probably won't be called HEMIS upon release.  It'll probably be L4 EMIS, with L4 standing for "Level 4".

Here's how the levels work:
(L0 = Ground)
L1 = 7.5m (planned)
L2 = 15m (existing)
L3 = 22.5m (planned)
L4 = 30m (planned)

The thinking is that it'll be easier to navigate a simple level system rather than a series of even more acronyms.  (Even as much as I like acronyms . . . )

I myself am rooting for...
(Ground) - 0m
KSNRTHRHW (Kinda Sorta Not Really That High RHW) - 7.5
ERHW - 15m
SHBNQHRHW (Somewhat Higher But Not Quite High RHW) - 22.5
HMTIHRHW (Holy Moly That is High RHW) - 30m

HMTIHRHW (Holy Moly That is High RHW) - 30m

 
Funny!
I agree with Tarkus with the L1, L2, etc. stuff.
I was wondering if I would be able to stack EMIS's so I can make a stack?

You will.

HMTIHRHW (Holy Moly That is High RHW) - 30m

"...And in this interchange I have used HMTIHRHW and SHBNQHRHW over normal ground RHW to create a nice stack. Here we can also see EHRW passing over KSNRTHRHW and then passing under SHBNQHRHW, finally changing to HMTIHRHW to go over another SHBNQHRHW and finally merging down with KSNRTHRHW."

If someone has a idea for another arrow style, please post

The UK has it's own quite unique direction arrows which may be a good addition:



also if anyone is intrested you can find a great directory of UK road signs, markings and cat's eyes here:

thank you, John

[MandelSoft]

^^ Well, currenlty DUKA style fits best. But maybe I can try to make another set...

[Lukis1994]

Is there going to be an option to pick which arrow set to have, that would be awesome. 
If not i recon the Aussie one would be best as its simplest looking, and as im aussie i see them all the time.

Yes, the arrow sets will be in separate .dat files and you'll be able to select which one you want.  There's probably going to be integration with the TuLEPs system as well . . . I still need to ascertain just how we're going to propagate the arrows in the distribution scheme.

[travismking]

wow thats a lotta big words in that last sentence, anyway, good news, as more customization is always a good thing

[Wiimeiser]

I think I'll go with the Aussie style.

Also, did I just see TLAs?
