Is there (going to be) a tutorial for draggable FAR?

Based on the pictures in the read me I'm able to drag FAR and sortof recreate the roads on the pictures.
The problem is: I don't really "control" what I'm dragging  :P, I'm not always able to connect them with ortho and diagonal network etc.

A step by step guide (with pictures please  ;D) would be useful.
I've build a region with lot's of FAR puzzle pieces, and I'm dying to replace them with draggable FAR.

Thanks in advance and a great many thanks to the NAM team for all their effort!

It's not that hard.  Just remember that FAR is created in 2x3 sections.  So first draw out two 3 tile long sections of road next to each other.  Do the same thing, continuing along in 2x3 sections that overlap by 1 tile:

xx

xx

To go back to orthogonal, drag straight out from the end of a 2x3 section:

There are some instructions on the Contents page of the Readme.

I have seen the video and read the Readme, but it's going a bit too fast and it's not always clear what's happening  &mmm

Allricht, let's play and thank you guys for the hints and tricks!
