Highway Light Towers [linkie]. It's a pure cosmetic feature.

Haljackey, I really like how you have trees all around the RHW in the 5th picture.

The park in the 3rd picture is amazing too!

Great attention to detail

Hmm... Well it looks like the GTR got into OSITM for January 09. I just wanted to give a word of thanks to whoever made this possible. This is the GTR's first time in OSITM, and I intend to put it to good use!

...But for now all I have for you is a teaser. I almost always give full updates when I post, so teaser posts are rare for the GTR. Its just a little something to say hello to OSITM. I'll get back to your wonderful comments when I make the GTR's first OSITM update.

Its time to put the pedal to the metal! Here's the teaser to start you off:

Teaser
Click for full resolution! (1920x1200)

I hope you enjoy it! This should show you what RHW 3.0 is capable of!

More on that later.

Best,
-Haljackey

Gosh, Hal, posting the same picture in 3 threads!

thundercrack83 · January 02, 2009, 02:20:29 PM

Congrats!

Teasing, yet pleasing!

With pictures like that one, it's really no surprise at all that you got OSITM, Hal. GTR continues to impress me, and I'm sure others feel the same way. There is something to be said about complex, varied transportation systems that actually work, and yours work quite well. Of course, teaser shots of new additions, such as the imminent

RHW v. 3.0 release (to borrow a term from another transit legend, besides the one who is writing this MD), are sure to keep GTR supplied with a steady stream of viewers and posters. Congratulations, Hal.

Jmouse · January 02, 2009, 10:57:05 PM

Congratulations, Haljackey! Hope you enjoy your time in OSITM - I'm sure the rest of us will!

Later...

Congratulations for this OSITM-award threre, Haljackey!
And nice teaser! Looking forward to more pictures...

sim_link · January 03, 2009, 07:01:26 PM

With the amazing job you're doing haljackey it's no wonder the GTR is OSITM, congrats!

The teaser is very teasing

Though I must admit, it looks rather familiar, almost like I've seen it before...

Can't wait to see more pictures!

Congratulations, Haljackey! After the SC4D Best Urban MD award, now you have the OSITM! Great job!

TheChosenOne · January 04, 2009, 06:00:42 AM

Hey Hal.!
It's me TheChosenOne from ST, now I'll reply on the GTR here on SC4D, because it's quicker

Wow cool teaser! Finally RHW on-slope puzzle pieces! And congrats for the OSITM award! Well deserved!

Great RHW teasers

Haljackey · January 05, 2009, 08:18:33 PM

All right, I'd better get back to your comments now before they become overwhelming!

Replies:

io_bg: Thanks a lot! I do too!

deathtopumpkins: Glad you enjoyed the pictures! Neither can I, can't wait to get the thing done!

mrtnrln: Thanks! I use a program called Fraps to record my videos, hope that is of some use to you!

bat: Hey, thanks a lot! Happy new year!

genemc777: Those are highway light towers. They are just for eyecandy, and do a good job lighting the roads at night. I see mrtnrln has provided the link if you want to use it.

Pat: Thanks so much! I feel honoured to be in 2009's first batch of OSITM! I hope I can live up to this new rep!

sim_link: Yep, I sometimes build vital networks in planned greenbelts, it works great! Glad you liked it!

deathtopumpkins (2): Hehehe.. I'm proud of that pic, but I may have gotten a little carried away. Oh well

thundercrack83: Thank you very much! Its my first time in OSITM, so I hope I don't disappoint!

metarvo: I guess so! Thank you! Yes indeed they work

TheChosenOne: Hey, great to see you here! Yes, ST can get quite slow at times, and that's one of the reasons why I post here as well. Feel free to use whichever site you want (or both!

).
-Yes, El-RHW and El-MIS on-slope puzzle pieces will be included in RHW 3.0. And thanks for the OSITM welcome! It means a lot! Thank you!

rooker1: Thanks so much for giving me this opportunity! I'm preparing plans for OSITM as we speak!

Nexis: Hey, thanks a lot! Glad you like them!

~~MD Put on Hold~~

I've decided to put the GTR on hold to get RHW 3.0 ready for a public release. For those who are not aware, I have been helping the NAM Team with many of their components, especially with RHW 3.0.

I'm sorry I haven't had an update in the past little bit, as most of my free time has been spent working on getting the RHW finished. We are doing our very best to ensure that this is the most complete, bug-free release it can be before it goes public. There are still a few issues that are being worked on, but I believe we have identified all the problems associated with RHW 3.0.

Cya later!

Best,
-Haljackey

EDIT: MD is no longer "On Hold"

mrtnrln: Thanks! I use a program called Fraps to record my videos, hope that is of some use to you!

O.K. , I downloaded it, installed it, and after that I see a problem: The program records for only 30 secs . To make longer records, I have to pay some money (which I'm not allowed to spend from my parrents) to get the full version Problem solved! I seached better and I found the full version. Thanks for the tip, Hal!

Anyway, I hope that your special update is going to be a really good one!

Best,
Maarten
