RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[samerton]

Wow, I really like the dark asphalt.

Agreed. Great work there!

T21's, attack!
Support pillars, MARCH!

[GDO29Anagram]

LOL 

Wow, BL,... A T21 Army is just random...

On a serious note,... You rigged something in the exemplars or models to make the pillars appear 15M higher... That is, if what I'm seeing is an ERHW beyond RHW-4... Otherwise,... You really messed up that RHW-6s...

[Rionescu]

Elevated RHW-6S 

I like how you can have stuff on the tile where the shoulder overhangs.

[samerton]

@ Blue Lightning: Wow

T21'd support pillars, Vince? I'm intrigued. I assume there's at least one advantage to this method of adding them to the wider ERHW networks as opposed to making them part of the model, though I don't know what that advantage might be. Perhaps you could enlighten us?

Elevated RHW-6S! That will be so important for a RHW project in my city!

It's quite simple actually. The pillars are not placed under each tile. This is possible with T21ing. If you put the pillar into the model, however, can have two results:
1. The pillar is present at every tile of El-RHW over empty land
2. The pillar is not present at every tile of El-RHW over empty land, but you'll have a heck of a lot of complicated RUL-code.

So that's why we chose this method.

Best,
Maarten

Because the ERHW-6S is only one tile wide (technically) does that mean it can make curves by dragging it? Or is that not possible yet?

[metarvo]

How about "Invasion of the T21s" for a movie or at least a book?  I imagine it would probably do well. 

ERHW-6S would be a welcome edition, errr... addition, lol.  I must say that the Darkphalt looks very nice as well.

Was messing around with T21s and just wanted to get them aligned properly. Accidentally modified the wrong value

On top of what Maarten said, all the supports are done this way anyways. My setup is just different, lets see who can figure that out (Hint: there's a reason why there's an EMIS over there)

[toja]

It seems, as if you know what to do with the RotationsAllowed-Property. 

[Rionescu]

The pillars are lined up on the RHW-6S while they're staggered on the MIS!

[Blue Lightning]

Exactly

I can make a mod for the ERHW-4 and EMIS-1 that does the same, if there's any demand

[Rionescu]

I for one would love that

Hey, I'm having issues with connecting a RHW-10 to other cities. No one will use them unless I adjust it down to a RHW-8. In addition, is it set up to where you must have the highway side by side in order for these neighbor connectors to work? I can't seem to get anybody to use my roads when I put an elevated rail in the median. Kind of hard to explain, think SR 4 in California from Brentwood to I-80, or I-580 from Pleasanton to Hayward. It's pretty much just a rail line built between in the median of the freeways; we call it BART out here. (Bay Area Rapid Transit) Not a biggie but if anyone knows I'd welcome an answer.

[jdenm8]

You can't put an elevated rail line in the median like that if you want a neighbour connection using the connector pieces. You can only use a combination of the connector pieces and the filler, unless you used the old loop connector method. It might work.

ERHW Inline Support Mod v1.0 has been uploaded to the STEX.

[samerton]

Great work, Blue Lightning!

From what I know of our userbase, I trust you're not alone on that.  I will look into creating a Elevated Rail-over-NC Underground Loop piece for a future update.
