Nice interchanges all! (tahill79, remember to keep your pics under 800x600 though, because they might get deleted my a mod)

    godjcjk12: Ah!  Its a PNG image.  Remember, most members cannot see PNG images, so make sure you convert them to JPEGs so everyone can see them!

    I am one of the lucky ones who can see it, and I have to say that that is quite impressive!  Your sloping is among the BEST I have ever seen which makes it look like a very realistic interchange.  Well done!44.gif


    Anyways, I have constructed my first interchange with the new RHW network. 

    Click on the image to view it in FULL RESOLUTION!

    The image

    Compare that to the interchange that laid there before:

    Anyways, thats it for now.  This new MIS looks promising.  I wonder how combinations can be made?

    so I have a dumb question about the RHW. I am working on making my interchanges.. do your sims actually use the road and how do you make it one way for both lanes?

    tahill79: Take a look at your OWR over RHW puzzle piece.  See how the textures don't line up?  Make sure you change the OWR over RHW-2 to a RHW-4 piece for it to work correctly.

    -Same goes for your RHW-ground highway connection.  An ave/OWR needs to connect one to the other.

    -Example: RHW-ave-highway.  That will make a proper connection.


    Heres another MIS picture from me.  Not as simple this time as the others I have posted prior to this.

    Before:

    After:

    Some work still needs to be done, as well as adding-in the signage and eyecandy, but the roadwork is complete.

    Additional EXCLUSIVE photos on this interchange are found at my City Journal.

    Keep showing us your interchanges!

    Nice on-off ramps, dwreck; maybe a bit overdone in the ammount of them. If you are planning this part to be a downtown area, it's realistic. But for suburban or rural areas this lot of on-offs is a bit unrealistic.

    Here's 2 creations. First of all a close up too a T-interchange. I still have a T-interchange between two embanked RHW4's aswell (the interchange itself is embanked aswell)

    mis35720.jpg

    Here's a huge cloverleaf, and the T-interchange from above

    Sorry for the last images being oversized, i had no time to resize it. I got classes to follow, y'know. 2.gif
