...And I upgraded my 4 Level Stack from MIS ramps to MIS-2 (RHW-4) ramps:

Highest capacity 4 Level Stack? :P

I should try one with RHW-6 flyovers.

Edit: The elevated RHW-6 networks are unstable and kept reverting back to RHW-2, so i decided to shrink the interchange so it took up less land, and this is the result:

A T-interchange between an avenue and an elevated (level 1 / 7.5 m) RHW-4 in a - so far - undeveloped area.

 

It took me a while to figure out how to build this one...

A rather interesting large capacity interchange. BTW ROFLYoshi I might post a pic with trees in the surrounding forest soon near the trumpet. 

At first I was going for compact but issues with FLEXFly not working over RHW-10 and not having a L1/L3/L4 type changed it into an asymmetrical spaghetti which seem to be a theme in my region now :P

So I've really developed the area around and within my Pinavia/diverging volleyball interchange.  Also, some upgrades were made to the interchange itself.  Here is the before shot:

And here are the two of how the area looks now:

Just some random new and older interchanges.

 

 

A Pinavia style interchange (which is technically a roundabout interchange as you can go in circles):

4way_Pinavia_style.png

 

This is an older one (NAM 30 and RHW5). I realized that I've never built an elevated x elevated interchange before, so I made this cloverstack:

Elevated_Cloverstack_RHW5.png

 

Two windmill interchanges. A more spacious, higher speed one:

4way_Diverging_Windmill.png

 

... and a more compact version with tighter curves:

4way_Diverging_Windmill_type2.png

 

One can get ridiculous. A very compact, highly dangerous, evil weaving, traffic jam provoking, but purely highway based, 8-way penta-roundabout interchange :D

8way_Roundabout_very_compact.png

 

And at the end, an a bit more sensible less silly approach for an 8-way roundabout interchange:

8way_roundabout.png 

Sorry for only providing links, but my pictures were refused for being the wrong type. (Is PNG not allowed anymore?)

 

edit: OK, here are the pics. Enjoy :)

PNG is still allowed. It probably is something with the links, you could try to post the links in another format? (I know that Imageshack provides different formats, I don't know about Photobucket?)

 

By the way, you're crazy, those interchanges!

Thanks Timmie. Seems that the board didn't like the ~original behind the filenames in the link.

That Pinavia interchange is possibly the best I've ever seen!

Here's one I made a few days ago. Took me a while to get all the overrides to function properly. Click for full size!

It's between a RHW 6S and a diagonal RHW 4S. The inside 4S is an express/carpool lane setup, which is why it doesn't intersect

    Very nice work everyone! I am really impressed with what I'm seeing on this page!

    In my opinion both Imageshack and Photobucket have gone way downhill for their free accounts.

     

    Best option for simplicity's sake these days is Imgur. For large / high quality photos use Majhost but it's a lot slower and more tedious.

    Some great interchanges here!

     

    Quick question - how do you guys create the MIS roundabouts (as seen in post #2052)?

    Those are OWR roundabouts, not MIS. Make sure you draw them in the correct direction (in a 3x3 square--they auto-convert). Then just drag the MIS ramp to them.

    That looks odd... but oddly interesting.

     

    Very unique creation to say the least!

    New interchange of mine, definitely the most "NAM 31 interchange" I made. I guess the term "Spaghetti interchange" is also at place here :-)

    Now THAT's what I call a spaghetti interchange! And you know what? The FLEXfly makes it look really good ;)

     

    Yeah, I really love FlexFly's!

    Speaking of FlexFly's, building this interchange I encountered two lacks in NAM 31.2:

     

    - There are no L1, L3 and L4 FlexFly's.

    - L3 RHW can't go over an L2 FlexFly.

     

    Are these things planned in future releases? I know it would be a sh*tload of work to implement these, but it would open the gates to an even bigger world of awesome interchanges!  :yes:
