Wow. I really don't like plopping the RHW pieces. Hope it comes out soon!

[Roger51 381]

^^^^ That is amazing....cannot wait for it to be released

[Gamma4815 4]

Amazing! Draggable ramps! I can't wait!

[Aldini10 14]

Will there be draggable transitions to elevated RHW? I just want to know.

[MandelSoft 2,775]

No, at least not yet.

[TekindusT 3,809]

Amazing! You seem to have solved the most critisizable point of the RHW, so now I have no excuse to stick to the Maxis highways... Thanks guys, great job!

[timmie 988]

Oh my, that is really awesome

[sneakeypete 16]

Consider it enjoyed!

[Raceman95 4]

that is the best ever

[Aldini10 14]

It will be an honor to download such a mod. This is legendary!

[dmonsta19 9]

Dear God, that is insanely awesome. Cannot wait!

[Aldini10 14]

Is there a release date for the v4.0 yet?

[Tarkus 6,933]

Well, aldini10, normally we don't give out release dates . . . however, in this instance, we can because it's been released today!   The files are already up on the LEX and they've been uploaded to the STEX as well, though they won't show up until the next update cycle.

Two things to note for those of you installing the new release:

-Make sure you have removed/deleted all files pertaining to previous RHW releases.  The file structure has changed so Version 4.0 will not overwrite your 3.x or earlier installation.

-Also make sure you've installed the May 2010 NAM release beforehand.  Otherwise, you'll get "red arrow bugs" and the like.

My sincere thanks to everyone who helped out on this effort on the developmental end: Andreas, Blue Lightning, choco, Chrisim, deathtopumpkins, jmvl, Jonathan, mrtnrln, Shadow Assassin and toja, and to all the invaluable NAM Associates, who went above the call of duty and tested everything thoroughly.  And to the community for their continued support of this project!

Thank You, NAM Team! The most useful essential mods for SC4 have been released!

So, is RHW part of the NAM pack that I downloaded or is it something separate?

If it is not part of NAM, then I am having trouble finding it.

[Vahr 343]

Its seperate, and currently can only be found here on the LEX (because the STEX is still updating the file) https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=853

thank you

[Aldini 4]

I will praise the NAM Team for as long as I live.

Here I was about to suggest diagonal flyovers... hehe.

This is amazing, and will allow us way more realistic flyovers and interchanges. I can't wait until it's done downloading!

Next project: perhaps you guys would find it a challenge to try and build 3 highways stacked on top of each other (such as in a 4 level stack interchange). As in, if you'd drag an EMIS/ERHW4 over another one, it'd go over it (rising to level 3). And diagonal too of course! Now that would be cool...

[timmie 988]

The new RHW is awesome, but I seem to be having a problem with the flexfly system:

 When I build it over a RHW4-highway, it looks like this:

One tile of the curve seems to be missing. When I demolish a certain tile of the highway under it, it looks correct:

Plopping flexfly first, then drag RHW under it or first the highway and then the flexfly, it doesn't make a difference: the problem always occurs. Clicking around it doesn't seem to help.

So, I guess my question is clear: why is this happening and what do I need to do to solve this?

Thanksalot,

Tim

Edit: Why are there no flexfly's with the yellow line on the outside? They would be very useful to make trumpet interchanges.

[MandelSoft 2,775]

^^ That's something for version 4.1. Vince (Blue Lightning) is working on the FLEXFly A2 for the inner curves (with the yellow line on the outside)

About your problem: that should be a RUL-bound problem. We'll look into it.

[Vahr 343]

Click on a tile about 5 tiles down to the East from it. The RUL coding for FLEXFly is quite complex, I'm still in process of ironing things out.

As for the yellow-outside, that's most likely v4.1.

[Tarkus 6,933]

An update of the RHW (to Version 4.04) has just been uploaded to the STEX, which merges in the Version 4.03 patch fixes as well as fixing a few issues pointed out since then. 

Additionally, the NAM and NWM have been updated as well.

[timmie 988]

Thanks for the answer

[TmiguelT 10]

can we get a Flexy-Fly tutorial? I also have problems with the flexy-fly system.

[Vahr 343]

The readme tells all....

[Aldini10 14]

Hey! I can't find my Flexible underpasses for RHW!! Someone help!

[Vahr 343]

...read the readme.

But because I'm nice, its located at the end of the RHW Curves (NOT FARHW) button. Hint, shift-tab takes you backwards through the tab rings.

For me, the RHW Mod won't work with cars. It works perfectly fine with trucks, though I haven't tried it with busses or mass transit yet. In my city, I have an avenue with residential at one end and industrial on the other. I sucessfully connected both ends with elevated avenue, but then once I put RHW-4 going under, all car traffic stops and the residential are left without jobs. The same thing happens if I drag MIS across the avenue.

Basically cars aren't willing to travel over any RHW, even if it's just going under or crossing.

Sorry if this was asked before.
