Is that an extra curvy curve?!

[GoaSkin 2]

[Meastro444 1]

Just a question, how much of the next version of NAM is done. This isn't a "speed up," or "when the hell is this going to be released" post. I just want to know, percent wise, how much is done. And by "done" I mean ready to go into beta.

[LivingInThePast 364]

Oooooo....curved roads. Yummy. The next NAM might just convince me I should play SimCity 4 again!

Either that or the new Mac Packs.

[Glenni 1,444]

just to inform ya,i made the rail2sub transition model

[Ryan B 35]

LITP: I think that's an extra-curved railroad. I see some things here that definitely interest me.

I'm definitely wondering if The Great Chozo's stacks ( remember those? ) got finished. If my memory serves me correctly, there was an elevated-elevated and ground-ground version, as well as diagonals.

Glenni:  Looks good to me, boss.  Certainly a realistic addition to SC4's transit options.

Oh. Well then, soon we might see curved roads, curved GLR, and quite possibly, the fabled single track railroad.

[GoaSkin 2]

single track railways make only sense as oneway-railroads. The game automata does not handle bi-directonal trains on one track (one train crashes the other).

[GoaSkin 2]

I think it makes sense to make a single-track railway for one direction to be used on industrial sites. Freight trains always start on factories and leave the city using the shortest way.

Well, as usual, I can only stress that it's best if it comes by surprise, isn't it?

HI

I love the NAM thingy's!!!

But I have a quick question: Are there or will there ( ever) be GLR bridges?? not only over water but also over sunken roads/highways??

Maybe this question is asked for many many times but....I realy don't like to read 119 pages :s

Thank you

*edit*  by bridges i mean flat bridges if you know what i mean...

[LivingInThePast 364]

@fleddr200: Couldn't you use the Hole/Digger lots and the Elevated Puzzle Pieces?

[fledder200 5]

@ livinginthepast : Yes I've used and abused them

But they don't make bridges...

I have a very big and bussy tram/GLR network and a huge canal system and all of my highways are sunken ( thanks to the hole/digger lot!!) I don't have high buildings ( you can check in my cj)

and if I use the elivated pieces they tower above my houses and that is not what I want!! All of my GLR tracks are ground leveled and just recently I had to cross a sunken road....but there was no nice flat brige...to cross so I had too take another way!

[bwatterud 7]

The GLR on-slope puzzle pieces are supposed to be part of the next NAM, but no one really knows when that's coming out. Buddybud is making a lot that will let you cross regular EL lines across sunken highways (near the bottom of this page) so you could do a transition to regular EL before and after crossing the highway. You could also do a subway transition (Two on the STEX here and here). This might be less realistic, but it gets the job done.

[godjcjk12 0]

what about Highway interchanges and ramps that can be enlarged to the amount of lanes needed to satisfy traffic

[fledder200 5]

@bwatterud : Wow thanx for your help!

[bwatterud 7]

Liek omg!!! The new NAM is coming out as soon as Dirk gets back from vacation!!!!! *screams like a 10 year old girl* *window shatters*

[Ryan B 35]

Good thing we've got shatterproof glass in here, bwatterud! I look forward to the NAM's release.

[logins 0]

Please don't tease me bwatterud! My head might explode. I haven't read about the imminent NAM release anywhere else. Eager anticipation of the GLR on slope puzzle piece...

[alexr15 2]

The supposedly new NAM is posted on Skyscraperpage. I'm not sure if it's actually a new edition.

[LivingInThePast 364]

@alexr15: Technically, there's just a link to the right page. I could not verify, the download is in exe, but the new link is indeed on Skyscraperpage.

[octaves 4]

Oh.  My.  God.

THATS SO AMAZING

I need a change of shorts.'

Now.

[LivingInThePast 364]

@goaskin: Hmm...in my city all you see is single-track railroads (for freight only)
