Now, didn't stop people from finding those onramps, but, has until recently, been easily overlooked since most people don't about the tab thing. Still, hope this is fixed in a future bug. True, doesn't really effect gameplay or is overtly annoying like more serious bugs people are finding, just that, it would be nice to have everything avialble without doing some special command that we didn't have to do with the other options.---------------- Heres a pic of the way Maxis made it known. I think this was the best way else we would have to select one option in the menu for all of them. That would be a long menu and a b***h to use effeciently.

I agree Airports should work regionally meaning more airports in a region more usage (as it has more places to be able to go) and Airport types should serve a purpose more than demand that we have no idea on knowing how its generated. It would be even better if it served as a form of transportation (mainly for R$$$) who work in far cities. They could just ride a jet there and get tehre faster and allowing road congestion to ease quite a bit. Current Airports serve no more than demand cap relief imho which is sad because its a severly underdeveloped feature. Airports are an essential part of any city and should be made a valid option and should be accessable regionally since Small Citys and Towns usually use the airports of Major cities... Just me $.02

When in the onramp selection menu, click on tab a few times to cycle through the onramp selections. One should be that of the ground highway to avenue onramps. If there are any incorrections in what I have said, feel free to correct me. I still don't have Rush Hour to try it out myself. I'm just going by what I have read in other threads. ---------------- Yes!! That finally worked... thanks for the tip! Is the TAB key actually documented somewhere? I've read the entire manual and I'm pretty sure it doesn't mention anything about TAB. It's not even listed on the keyboard shortcuts table on the back of the manual. Anyway, thanks for the help! ---------------- Its not in the manual but its on the tooltip that comes up telling ya the onramp menu option is all about. I overlooked it till i was bored a bit redoing a highways network... Mainly overlooked it because many people who got RH before we did were posting screenies and saying these type of on ramps werent possible so i kinda took that as law i guess. But to end the crap and give ya your answer its on the tooltip hover ur mouse over the onramp item and it will come up saying it ...

This is new and RH only cause i dont rem. this in SC 4 origibal...

For ground levels you have to place them manually...

New Transportation Options 7/10 Great new options but they are still limited... We dont have Bigger Highways or Larger Capacity Mass Transit stations. More could have been added in the transportation area... U-Drive-It 4/10 Ok but a bit buggy like on highways... European Tile Set 8/10 Awesome none the less Bridges 9/10 Yea they are nice... Disasters 3/10 The UFO's look "ok" but i was never a fan of destroying my cities too much goes into them Personalization Feature 6/10 Labels are nice for roads but i think it would have been better to have an option to extend it along the whole road/street/avenue automatically... My Sims 9/10 Finally it is very useful for us!! Overall 8/10 Overall i love it.... Just coulda been improved in some areas i guess....

I havent seen this mentioned but the Diesease Research Center causes Radiation? what other negative effects are new for this and other structures??

If this is old news im sorry for posting... I have just learned while playing Rush Hour (seems many people neglected to read the tooltip) that Avenues and One ways have on ramps for both ground level and elevated highways (maybe one way only does elevated cant rem.) I will post some screenshots in about an hour since im in game now playing and having fun... But unlike previous reports roads and avenues have on ramps for Elevated and Ground highways! and one ways have on ramps as well!. Screenshots in an hour!.
