So, I have a EUR copy of the SC4 DLX but I am and wish to build Amercian style cities. The first thing I did after installing the game on my new PC build (I had it on my old one for over 6 years) is go into regedit and change language to 01. When I did this years ago I had no issue. This time the language pack does not display correctly for in game tooltips, advice columns and even querries. I attempted to reinstall and that did not solve the problem. Any help would be immensely appreciated folks.

That worked like a charm ty Sir.

Well, I don't have a link but you can turn UDI off without mods: click on the "Sims" tab, then on the vehicle icon on the left, then the icon that looks like magnifying glass - poof, no more UDI icons! Hope this helps, all the best to retrieve your plugins You know in ten dang years i never knew that! Plus one from me when i get home to my pc lol
-
Maybe I'm a retarded smart person but I can't seem to find the UDI remover. I know I had it before I lost all 5gigs of my plugins (ouch) just spent an hour looking for it on devotion and Stex. I know someone here has a link somewhere

Let's take a break in Simopolis

Great job it looks fantastic! -
Your work makes me feel ashamed to post anything here lol. Your attention to detail and perfection in your designs is astounding. I only wish I had half the talent you do. When designing cities and especially the transportation system there are 3 people I usually look to for ideas - You, Marten and AIX. I guess by the time SC6 comes out I'll be close to your level Great job as always mate!

Oh yes has anyone noticed that the arrows on any of the TLA networks are mirrored the wrong way? For instance in RHD if you are heading eastbound and get into the turn lane the arrow for your side points to the right. Glad my sims are smarter than these Houstonians or there would be wrecks and gridlock EVERYWHERE lol.

Found this: University is sandwiched between Tram in Ave and Mav-4 on the south side. Cant hotlink it due to size click to view image @ full resolution http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/694/hillcrestmay24191363559.png/

Thats nuts Haljackey. The interior freeways you have in the first pic, what is there primary function? Is that more intended for hov or is that the main lanes? It seems to me that you have main lanes in the middle and a collector system at the exterior. If that is indeed the case how is that with decreasing conjestion? Ive been trying for months now to get some type of feeder system but getting inside entrances to work is impossible unless you use 4s and in that case you can't get businesses to face the feeder because obviously it isnt transit enabled. Harder for me because i want to use owr-4 so that limits my options even further. Hmmmmmmmm

Congrats! You just taught a professional driver who should know all of the driving laws (federal - DOT and State) by heart something new. I knew there couldn't be two of them but I thought that was at the federal level. Good going Well, I am off for the weekend so I am really going to knuckle down and figure this HOV thing out. If you got any ideas as to what may work let me know and I'll crunch down and see what we can miniaturize it to. I think it is more possible now with NAM31 than it ever was. Let put that to a test.

Sorry for dp i dont have an edit feature on my phone. If i am not mistaken AIX 405 is the main inner loop around downtown LA and the busiest freeway in the country. Im a little rusty on my freeways and havent driven a semi in a year but i dont think there are 2 405. Remember any freeway with a even number is a loop usually with the last number(s) corresponding to the freeway it loops around and odds are spur routes (think 610 off i10 here in houston and i195 which is a spur in miami if jm not mistaken)
-
Can't wait to see how you do that. Your work is pretty impressive with the larger setups.

That is very true and I have actually seen that. I was an I-5 corridor truck driver for 3 years from Medford OR I do like their system up there but I am not sure how I would be able to place that inside my region. I came up with the HOV-merge to main lanes - exit just based off of what we have here in Houston. If you look at google earth or my fav, mapper.acme.com You can see on the west side of Houston west of I610 the Katy freeway. This is the freeway I live off of and travel everyday for work. The inner HOV lanes would be the equivalent to our 4S and the main lanes from HWY6 east to I45 are 8S, 10S in places where major surface streets merge with the freeway. This is what I am accustomed to and really the only way I know how to build the dern thing. I can tell you that merging from the HOV lanes to the exit in a short distance across 5-6 lanes is retarded from personal experience but that the only way I can figure this thing out lol.
-
Also note from that screen that L1 6S is converting to l1 MIS when I try to run L0 MIS under it. I know a form of that one has been reported but I didn't see it reported for L1 network. Maybe I just missed it?

I posted a series of collector/distributor lanes many pages back in this thread. Two separate carriageways for each direction. The inner lanes could have been HOV, but there weren't appropriate HOV lane markings available at the time. I am going to re-visit it once NAM 31 is a little more polished. Edit: I dug up the old picture. Nicely done AIX. I love the look of it unfortunately it is too large for my application with the collectors. I am attempting to do it with a DD system. Right now I have 10S running on both sides on DD in the center. The problems is is that when that DD comes up to a massive interchange I have to drop it down to L2 and pray to god I can get L3 and L1 to get through there, then raise it back to DD. Another issue is that I need to account for entrance and exit ramps. To do this I have made use of the 8S split ramp. I run it down to 2 4S and then use the 4 inside exit and entrances to facilitate flow from the HOV lanes to the main freeway. The ultimate vision will be for commuters wanting off onto the intermediate surface streets to get off the HOV, on to the freeway, then off to those roads. At major highways, spurs, and other freeways there will be full incorporation of HOV access to those without the need to merge onto the freeway. Of course that is the ultimate plan. Implementing that is a COMPLETELY different story. As you can see from my earliest work - taken about 3 hours before this post - it's off to a rough start. This is the first major interchange to start construction in a fresh region. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Just started the FDR / I 94 Interchange with center DD HOV lanes. It will probably take me 6 weeks off and on to get it tweeked right not counting the time for NAM31SE to come out. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

This is the wrong thread for that post. You should look here instead. Lot's off really neat stuff there made by the masters of the highway world.

Thanks again Tarkus that worked wonders Sir. I knew I was trying to do more than it was currently capable of Still, you guys have done awesome. My capabilities as a mayor have gone up three fold now that this new release is out. Did you know I retired for almost a year just because I couldn't build some of the interchanges I needed? I made the choice to retire back in April and wait for NAM31 to come back. I honestly couldn't be more pleased. It was everything - and then some - I was expecting. Cheers

It's a FLEX Height Transition (FLEX-HT) setup. Use the 1-level FLEX-HT or FLEX OnSlope (FLEX-OST) to connect those networks. I don't know how stable they necessarily are, though. -Tarkus Still not getting that to work. Got a tutorial on that hidden somewhere? BTW I did get a work around for one of those bugs posted earlier. You do need a 1 tile gap between the L3 pieces. To override the FLEX-HT and FLEX-OST into RHW-6S versions, drag the L0 RHW-6S into the ground side of the transition. It'll cascade up the transition, changing it from RHW-2 to RHW-6S, and you can then drag L1 RHW-6S out the elevated end. I've verified that both FLEX-HT and FLEX-OST are stable for me for L0-L1 RHW-6S. That is actually an L3 transition to 6S I am working on. I've tried that way too. I noticed that there are OST and Flex-HT for lvl 1 and 2 but that is it. I've been poking around and there is a lot of stuff for L3 and L4 but as far as I can find there is no way to actually get traffic access to those levels. OR just maybe I am completely retarded because I have been up 48 hours straight playing with the new NAM you guys graciously gave us Yea, on that note, goodnight folks!

Heres another one. L3 6S attempting to cross over L2 Flxfly and L0 8S. I have a feeling I am trying to make this damned thing too intricate. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Thank you Sir I'll give that a whirl. I played around all day with it trying to figure that one out lol. I knew you guys just didn't leave it out.

Lets see if we can count the different bugs here. Bear with me please. Uploaded with ImageShack.us This is a 4 level interchange between to main arteries just to the SE of my CBD. They are intended to provide complete access of 2 8S freeways with interior DD HOV lanes. Everything was going relatively well until I tried to drag the L3 6S over the l2 4 sections. The first 6S (the one to the far left) went off without a hitch. I found a workaround where I placed a starter on each side of the freeway and met them just on the other side of the freeway. Then when I attempted to draw the others thats when all hell broke loose. Note I have not tried leaving a 1 tile gap between those sections as it just will not work for my application. The graphic glitch on the Flxfly ramp is the same one that was in RHW5.0 except I can not get this one to go away by redrawing the L0 stretch. DD pieces still not connecting. Just out of curiosity, where the hell is the transition from L0 to L1 6 and 8S? I am pretty sure there are more there I am just too tired to spot at the moment. Maybe you guys can!
