Albion region: some delay, but getting started soon

[SC4Fanatic 3]

Ok folks ,

 

My CJ got a big delay and here's why:

 

The first reason was a reinstall of my PC, the second and most important reason is that I first intended to use only RHW (no MHW anymore). Although I really like RHW with all its flexibility and possibilities, it turned out that RHW also has it shortcomings. I'm not saying this to criticize the NAM-team. I think they do a wonderful job.

 

I've been testing and trying out RHW for quite some time, Diagonal overpasses and on/off ramps on diagonal RHWs that have more than 2x2 lanes still don't seem to work. Besides, on/off ramps and intersections between highways take a lot of space. Not a problem in a rural area, but in big cities this causes problems.

 

I've now decided to use MHW in areas where I can't use RHW and I will use RHW where I can. The other NAM feautures are great and I will use them wherever I can (nice curves, NWM, Tuleps, etc.).

 

I will start my CJ or better said, my region journal soon. I built a lot of stuff already and made some screenshots.

I suggest you use NAM 32-pr1 at this stage and use the blacktop option for the MHW.  It will look better with the RHW.  As you may have discovered Project Symphony interchanges are really RHW and take a lot of space.

Thank you for your reply. I downloaded this prerelease and will try it tomorrow. I really like RHW. MHW is often not looking realistic, but sometimes you don't have a real choice when there's not enough room for RHW )especially on/off ramps, intersections, etc.)

Well, you should be able to get something like this:
