RHW- Show us your pics!

[heitomat 156]

I love this thread! Great pictures, all!

I give to you the Rhysmouth East Junction. Not exactly a space saver, but I think it looks good as it is. Considering the time I spent building it, I doubt I'll change it anyway..  

Overview, facing north. In this junction the A-1 (south) divides into B-11 (north) and B-12 (west).

Close up of the wide radius curves, facing south. The overpass and inner turn is the B-12, the outer turn is the B-11.

B-11, facing south. It expands from RHW-2 to RHW-4 and merges with B-12 into A-1 on the other side of the tunnel.

B-12, facing west. At the top you can see the exit to East Rhysmouth.

At the same location, but facing east. B-12 turns right and merges with southbound B-11 into A-1. Northbound B-11 continues straight forward.

That's it. Drive carefully!

@Haljackey - I would expect nothing less than a materpiece from you ant thats what I got - your vids made me want to play SC4 again!

@Maarten - Erm... confused :/ But wonderful - I couldn't help noticin that one of the pics was from your cover for the RHW euro textures mod.... Still the others aren't and they are so realistic and well... emmm.... Wunderbar! the best is probably the Terra Majora interchange!

right... if you troll the other thread you seen these but here's mine:

Original interchange:

From Interchange - Horsham

Consturctive criticism from asteconn:

Constructive criticism from from mrtrln:

Gosh, that's a bit overkill signage you have there. Please place them farther apart, about 10 tiles for every sign in the same direction (and 25 for speedcontrol signs). in tile is 16m long and your average distance between two signs seems to be about 35m. Pretty close, eh?

led me to do this:

From Interchange - Horsham

and this:

From Interchange - Horsham

And as a result I got this:

From Interchange - Horsham

closer up:

From Interchange - Horsham

still closer (at night & before improvements):

From Interchange - Horsham

Enjoy me wasting about 2 mins of your life! (did i say wasting.... i meant enjoying... yeh... i trully did...)

@ Cacks

Nice work on the interchange. What terrain mod are you using in those pics?

[cacks 41]

@ Go_Cards: I have no idea - I think it is one of Pegasuses... I also use the jagged edges mod as well if thats what you want.

I think these are it:

Jagged edges mod - can't find it (search the stex)

terrain mod (I think): https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=11697

or

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=11589

unfortunatley YOU CANNOT HAVE MORE THAN ONE TERRAIN MOD AT A TIME!

ok - just so you read that and don't come to me SC4 has killed itself...

Very nice interchange, Heitomat!

These accelleration/decelleration lanes (those small parts of RHW-6S) could be much longer, like seven tiles or so.

Wait until you can use the B-style splitter here

[heitomat 156]

@mrtnrln:

Thank you for your input.  As said before, I can't wait to get my hands on the new RHW pieces and your new European textures. 

About those short sections RHW-6 lanes you mentioned: Do you think they "could" or "should" be longer? I have some similar sections other places as well, but I doubt I can fit seven-tile acceleration/deceleration lanes in those areas.. My sims might have to accept that their motorways don't meet the demands of the EU. 

[cacks 41]

@ Heitomat: Do yo like making works of art because they are beautiful as well as functional! I also like those Euro textures, but for RHW 3 (sorry mrtnrln) i'll stick with darkphalt.

@ mrtnrln: If you ever need a beta tester for your euro textures (and RHW 4.0 while your at it) I'm the bloke - bet you've heard that countless times!

@ all: god work, even if Heitomat's post was the most recent in a whole year...

Hi everyone, i'm new to these forums and i'd just like to say there is some very impressive stuff on here. For my first post I will show you part of the RHW in my new region. For this region and from now on, I have decided to completely forego maxis highways, RHW all the way! 

This interchange was intended to be as compact as possible without being too jagged or unrealistic. 

Another angle and zoomed in slightly.

Although in the end, it is still quite large.

[cacks 41]

@ Mousenator: That interchange is a nice free flowing turbine like thing, and RHW interchanges are meant to be large! In real life do yo ever see any of those ugly maxis interchanges? no! The RHW is a tool for creative thinkers, and that interchange is pretty compact and very well done, just wait until RHW 4.0 comes out with flexi-mis and flexi elevated mis, that would be so cool to use! I only ever use Maxis higways if all else has failed (and for neighborhood connections) or there isn't enough room... But yeh - RHW all the way! Just install some eye-candy light posts or signs and *voom* the most realistic thing ever!

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

i wish rhw were more customizable and has as many options as the nam.... it looks awesome, but not enough for parkland yet... these are cool pictures

[MandelSoft 2,775]

Dude, what do you mean with "more customizable and has as many options as the nam"? The RHW is one of the most advanced components of the NAM! We are working on it adding more and more cool features and possiblities. Please explain why it should be more customizable and what options you would like to see.

[cacks 41]

@mrtnrln - If your taking request... I would like 3,4,5 lane bridges and an easy way to connect express/ distributors and inside rhw 3 and 4...

...and a side order of chips

[kingdiz_55 12]

Great work guys. I'm getting a lot of ideas from you works.

As far as I know, the RHW could be better, but everything that will make it better is currently being worked on. You just need patience.

And therefore I thank him for this wonderful work he and others (like yourself) have given.

Great job, cacks. I like how your RHW follows the terrain. Nice!  (Sweet looking rock mod, btw.) 

[cacks 41]

I hope over the weekend I can post some more pics of the virgin Motorway going through the Krakovian countryside Oh and a stupid note on my behalf - my user name should be Cracks... oh well.

Here's a region picture: From RHW pics And the Motorway plan PLEASE VOTE    Sorry - the pic isn't good quality, click on it and then above the pic to the right should be a magnifying glass - click on that for more quality  From RHW pics And some Teasers (This is a project not a CJ if you were wondering....)

Here are some pics from a city where I recently converted the entire freeway system to RHW:

This is the only part of the freeway that I couldn't convert due to space constraints:

Very nice everyone, I really like the RHW, took my a while to get used to it but it has helped remake real life interchanges, like this:

See my CJ for more. =)

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Nice interchange there!

This is the northern part of the Phoenix Tollway where it goes on the outside of Highway 65 in the town of Mountain View:
