On the OxD TLA-3 crossing, I just noticed something.  Is that a yellow-and-black striped obstruction marker in front of the orange-yellow median prop?  I believe it is!  :thumbsup:  This must have been the last necessary prop you mentioned, right?

Actually, the object marker is there on the OxO crossing as well and has been for a while as you can see in this pic from back on page 9.  The new prop is the elongated raised median with the beveled end.

It's the special diagonal "island" in the roadway. That prop was used before.

I'm pretty surprised by the voting.  ???  I thought sooner would beat later by a wide margin, but it's stayed a dead heat the whole time.  :D

I've got a little surprise for you guys.  ;)

I managed to whip myself up a shortcut to LHD land, and making the other two T21 sets went by a lot faster than I thought.  This means that everyone gets their vote and I'll be starting my LEX candidacy as of tonight with all three T21 sets available!  (And of course, the poll is closed a bit early.)

These sets may not please everyone 100%, but keep in mind that there will be an in depth customization program coming soon.

In case anyone is wondering what's going on with the release of this set, it's been decided to wait until after NAM 30 comes out because most of the path fixes I would be including with this release are going to be added to the NAM, NWM, and RHW releases.  I will still have some path patches for the STR network and those should be included in the next RAM release, whenever it happens.  As well as a patch for Maxis crossings for non-NAM users.

When and where can I download your awesome props? :thumbsup:

jondor

Hopefully on the LEX in the not too distant future.  Once it's approved there, I'll upload it to the STEX as well.

Great to see it released! One issue I noticed, though, is that the AvexGLR FLUP lacks any props.

GLRxAVE at top, and GLRxTLA5 at bottom.

That is a bug that affects (among other things) the Tram-in-AVE puzzle pieces as well.  The Maxis gates on that piece are similarly affected.  If you plop it on an existing AVExRail crossing the props will show up.  Also, I think you mean TuLEP, not FLUP. :P

Please read the readme very carefully, but if you have any questions or concerns, this is the place for them.

I have a question. Is there a way where you can choose different crossing arms for each crossing. If so, how do I do it and which folder do I use?

Ah, that makes sense, and yes I did mean that.

I'm not sure what you mean here.  If you're referring to different gate arm styles, there's only one.  The arms do come in five lengths, but each one has been chosen based on the width of the network.

When the by-zone and by-wealth sets switch between different setups, it's generally the gantry style, presence or absence of a gantry, or presence or absence of the gates entirely for some of the smaller networks.  And on GLR crossings, some networks will gain 4 quadrant gates.

Basically what I was meaning to ask is if there are any puzzle pieces where you can choose a different style of gates or gantries over certain networks. Other than that, I would like to say good job on the crossing arms.

Last question, which is a little off topic. Is the flashing beacons you posted earlier this thread ever going to come out on lex?  :P

Okay, I got you.  No, there aren't any cosmetic puzzle pieces available.  I do plan to release a configuration program that will allow you to create custom T21 sets. They still won't be ploppable like puzzle pieces, but you will be able to more finely tune which zones or wealths certain prop setups show up next to.

As for the beacons, that's not off topic but they need to be completely rebuilt as animated S3Ds like the RR props before they can be released.  I'm probably going to do the diagonal RR props before I go back to the beacons.

I've installed it, and it looks spectacular.  :thumbsup:  One thing, though.  I notice that, instead of white signs that say "Railroad Crossing," I'm getting white signs with red outlines that are blank.  Why would that be?

Oh these are great! Installed it and tested it. :D Great job, jondor. Though I'm having the same problem as kassarc16. :(
This is a great website. :)

There's a file you have to remove to get the traditional NA version. I can't remember which one.

Actually - Canada uses the red and white too.
