RHW (RealHighway) - Development and Support

[Andreas]

Uploading presents for others on your own birthday? Sounds familiar...

I'll surely give those a try soon!

[Haljackey]

Awesome news Maarten!  Hope you are enjoying your birthday!

Is there a place where myself and others can view the new look before we download it?  Perhaps a few screenies would do us good.

thanks maarten! (happy birthday)
can anyone posts some closer screens?

[Kitsune]

Maarten, happy birthday, and congratulations on the release!  Fantastic work!  I'm sure you've just made a lot of Euro RHW users' days.

And those who are not Euro and prefer the white lines days as well

Hi everyone-

I have a big announcement to make here . . . a new RHW network addon has been developed. 

Well, have you ever thought that the lanes on your RHW-8s were a bit . . . cramped?  Want to give those sim motorists some extra room by building a "first-class" highway?  Well, you can do that with the Arthur Burkhardt Expressway Project (ABEP), which transforms your RHW-8s into Luxury Lane RHW-4s (RHW-4LL).  The RHW-4LL has been specially pathed to allow the motorists to take advantage of the full width of these new lanes.

Happy April Fools Day! 

But ABEP really does exist.  You can download it below, in fact.  Just unzip the zzz-ArthurBurkhardtExpresswayProject.dat file to your RHW folder and enjoy!

And if you want to uninstall, all you have to do is delete and/or remove the file from your Plugins.  No paint thinner required.

I thought of an idea of how to make variable width RHWs and after talking with tarkus and some other NAM people it seems that it could actully work



Basiclly how it works is that since the existing RHW 6 8 and 10 are two tiles wide, you can add a middle tile to that. If you do, and make it repeatable, then there could be modular width RHWs, Blue lightning showed pathing for the repeat that should work.



So what do you think should this go foward or is having RHWs this wide unrealistic and not worth the time.

[Haljackey]

Well, I've always wanted to have a 50 lane freeway in SC4, and this repetitive setup can make it happen!  Many folks play SC4 for stuff that isn't realistic, they just want to have fun.   

I'd say go for it.  Using 1 middle tile wouldn't be that bad in realism terms (I'm sure some highways on Earth are 16 lanes wide without any C/E setup), and adding even more can allow you to make a very impressive highway system!
