Show us Your Interchanges!

[Vahr 341]

Gamma4815: Very nice interchanges, I like the T interchange, nice ramp layout on that.

This is what happens when you need to build an interchange between two wide highways and need the capacity of RHW-4 ramps.

Might not look like it right now but this area is about 50 tiles from this metro area's planned CBD

Folded T-interchange. The above interchange to the south, and the CBD over at the NW

[iowndiscti 141]

here's a Y interchange tht i was working on, but i scraped it cause the  right hand side (going from north to west) turn is too steep for cars

[twinsfan14 36]

Is that an RHW-8 bridge I see? That is sweet!

[Tysons4 68]

these are all great!! rhw mod is excellent...

however ive been trying to get away from mods for developing an awesome mega region unpluged...

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=114421&STARTPAGE=1

this is a plan for 5 highway intersection

i might make it bigger... i havnt even started laying roads in many areas still might spread the highways out a bit more still

[timmie 988]

As I wasn't happy with the interchange I had before, I made a new one, wich I now proudly present to you!

Will there be smooth MIS curves one day?

[MandelSoft 2,769]

^^ certainly. They will be included in the next release

@iowndiscti

See my signature for a tutorial on how to put together a T; you're using almost exactly the same methods I use

Avenue that carries passengers from the ferries and airport to the city's outer ring highway.

Wow nice interchanges guys! I'm Impressed!

I have a nice surprise for this thread tommorow (and its not my inter-regional mountain RHW road)!

@twinsfan14: I made a interchange very simmilar to that on page 3 of this thread. Check it out if you want to!

@Asteconn: Whens your next tutorial? I have no idea how to make clover stacks (hint)!

@Timmie: I like that! and i don't know what you mean by not liking the interchange before (I don't think we've seen it). and yes, v4.0 of RHW will feature flexi elevated mis and mis curves (MRTRLN already answered that) I can't wait!

@Blue Lightning: Well done, you've made me confused for a third time!

Yeh... I'll be editing this post to avoid double posting...with the pics appearing about 4:30 GMT. Bare with me. If I feel happy I'll make a youtube video (maybe Thursday night GMT).

[Larks2242 251]

Indeed, keep up the good work your highways are looking awesome!

[ravenhold 41]

WOW....a few of these look like they take up a small city sized tile....lol.....I wish there was a way to see the entire area of these cities....I also wish we could download a few to get some good visual education on building a mega city

[timmie 988]

@cacks: no, I did not post the interchange before, but I mentioned that as it is the reason I made this one (but yes, it is confusing, sorry!)

And thanks for liking it!

[cacks 41]

So here is my not awaited inter regional mountain highway!

A nice pretty curve to a brige:

From RHW pics

A bigger pic of the curve:

Here we see the road bending to the north towards an interchange for future development.... and for servicing the oil pumps

From RHW pics

Close up of the exit from the south side:

Will be filming a video + more pics of the road. just for you

[Dannibee 138]

That is some amazing work there! I like the use of the rock mod!

[twinsfan14 36]

That is a nice region cacks

[cacks 41]

lol Thanks! 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. I might create a new account or just make up some lame mnemonic - If anyone wants to help I'll be grateful to know what cacks stands for

Here's some nice music to cheer you up

or an advert by the Lib dems

And if any of you were wondering... Here's a region picture:

From RHW pics

And the Motorway plan PLEASE VOTE

From RHW pics

And some Teasers (This is a project not a CJ if you were wondering....)

Ok... didn't want to double post so I'll just go ahead and upload my youtube vid following HW1 from exit 13 to 6, still more to do. I might go from 6 to 13 at night so you can see how even more amazing it looks

I like your addons, anyway you could tell us what you have?

P.S., for all of you wondering when is he ever going to upload some more interchange pics, I hope to have some soon. Also, I hope to have some new regions too.

It's been a while since I last showed some interchanges.

After a bit of a hiatus, I eventually re-started again with building interchanges. As I prefer to just build the interchanges as plain functional, most of the pictures show just the mere roadwork with no beautifications at all. Here are some random designs in no particular order.

This full 4-way avenue interchange is one of my favorites. It's space-saving (for a full interchange) and featues only weaving on one of the avenues which I don't mind that much as it's 'only' an avenue.

This RHW 3-way interchange is a try to minimize the footprint of the whole junction.

This is the outcome of trying to connect two parallel avenues with a highway. It's generally a prolonged paperclip interchange with an avenue connection on each side.

Even though there have been countless numbers of different interchange types, I don't remember having seen a windmill interchange yet. So I decided to give this type a try.

My last picture for today is a MHW-RHW interchange with a parallel road and railway tracks. As there is only very limited space on one side, I had to rely on FLUPs to build this one. Until anyone has a better name for this type, I'll call it 'displaced half-clover'  .

Hope you liked it.

bunch of really great interchanges here

I would call it a full partially folded clover. I've made one like that, except all the ramps are on the same side, it uses all RHW, and the interchange is adjacent a bridge. I might show it soon.

These have to be one of my favourite interchanges in a long time! the first one is so small yet useful!

To answer your question.... erm... my plugins folder is 1.4GB... I can tell you i have trolled the STEX, LEX and the PLEX finding stuff and downloading them... the constructoin set id by SFBT... but could you be more specific? I am liking your interchanges!

WOO 25 post!

Thanks for liking my interchanges.

However, I don't quite understand which question you have answered. Could that be this one from Thommy7777?

The next interchange I'd like to show has been lying around in my region since more than a year. Somehow I never found the time to post it. I got the inspiration for this monster from the interchange system in L.A. where several freeways meet each other (>linkie< to Google maps).

Warning: this is a BIG image (3572x2163)!

This is a newer design. It's a full 6-way, point-symmetrical,  no-weaving monstrosity consisting mainly of two cloverstacks combined with two diverging branches and some additional lanes to form this whole monstrosity.

I'm working on something even bigger at the moment. Be prepared for more pics soon.

[cacks 41]

two words: what the...

Ooh is there a trixie for most realistic RHW network or most challenging usage of RHW through teraformed terrain? If not they should make one...

might be taking some new pics of the ever-growing network for you

[Jezus53 18]

Hey cacks, regarding your vote for which route, I like route 2. It looks like you already have a route going next to route 1 so route 2 would be nice for scenic route.

[emgmod 16]

If you have ever driven in Hawaii or played Test Drive Unlimited, you should remember this interchange near Aloha Stadium. Mostly because you got lost in it. I've completed 99% of it.

So, let me be the first member of the public non-NAM team member to introduce you to some new features in RHW4.0 (and NAM, and the NWM) by showing you a test city:

May upload more here

See if you can name the 8 features in this circle (apart from Blue Lighting, Tarkus, and any over NAMers (if thats a word) - because you already know them):

From RHW pics

[newcrusader92 0]

It's hard to see the picture(s) well - but let me guess:

1. MAVE-4

2. TuLEP

3. 90 degree MIS curve

4. darker North American texture for RHW

5. neighbor connection puzzle pieces/underground loop connector

6. MIS->Avenue transition. Also, did the MIS previously have surrounding texture dependent on what building was touching it, similar to how the sides of roads and streets have different looks depending on zones and wealth levels? This is the first time I've seen something of this sort.

7. draggable ramp interface

8. RHW lane markings / RHW-6 is 2-tile network

[Vahr 341]

90 Degree MIS curves have been around since v3.0. v4.0 only improves the look.

MIS->Ave transition: Been around since either RHW 20 or v3.0. Wealths added in v4.0

Anyways, glad to see people are enjoying the new features! Stay tuned for v4.1!

(And btw, might want to change that line to first non-NAM Team member )
