Ryan, yes it is with the FLUPs, as long as the canal set has overhanging pieces. Let me see if I can give you a pic... I've done it a few times already.

David, I haven't posted the last few pages as I am at a loss for words... so much amazing stuff has come through here... 

to you and everyone else working on this stuff.

I rarely do that, but I couldn't contain myself this time.  All right!  Curves for the SAM asphalt streets are just what I need, since it is my most commonly used SAM set (the SAM-3 dirt is second).

[dragonshardz]

My guess for 250K page views is...

(drumroll)

March 4th @ noon.

[mayorfabz]

WOW I took a leave for just a week and yet more miracles in 3RR. You guys are amazing.
My new guess for the 250K views contest is Feb 26th 4:34 pm Eastern time (dunno what that makes in Alaska)
Greetings from Montreal

[MandelSoft]

Nice curves there!

My guess for the 250K views contest is February 28th at 18:00 GMT.

[BigSlark]

I'm going to guess March 2nd at 12:00 AST. I hope I'm right!

The curves look great, David. I can't wait to play with them.

I hope all is well in Wasilla, Helena, and Austin (?) with you and yours.

Cheers,
Kevin

[owlsinger]

My guess is February 28th at 8am AST!

A question: I haven't seen any trains on my STR yet, just those silly green thingies. The paths are correct, and my graphics are all turned up to high, but they haven't appeared. Any ideas why, or am I just being impatient? I'm using Peg's rural freight train stations, and I have connections to neighbors.

Thanks,
Kendra

Korot: This is a rural city, plenty of farms, the query shows lots of freight trains on the tracks.

Also, my SAM roads have been ok except for this one:

[Korot]

Is their industry to generate freight?

[Simpson]

Hi David ! 
I'm sorry that I didn't post last days 
The last pictures are really fantastic. You have done a super work in the SAM curves, they look good 

I'm looking forward to the next update my friend
Take care,

David

Check to make sure you have actual rail traffic on the tracks (passenger or freight depending on the train you're looking for) with the route query tool. If it is purely an eye candy line, or the trains insist on taking a different path, consider using the train generator lots by Swamper77 from the LEX. Hope that helps.

I'm just stopping in to post that I'm probably an hour or so away from having the last of the Rural Road puzzle pieces done that will (with the upcoming surprise) let me finish updating the collaboration quads.

You should check your guess as shown on the table against the one you actually posted- I caught one mistake doing this.  Thanks- if there's any conflict between what's in the table and what's actually been posted as a guess, the actual post will be used.

(Not very much) later.

[nerdly_dood]

My guess would be March 1, 22:00 AST.

Great work with the rural roads, too!

[Jmouse]

If the contest is still open, my guess is March 2, 12:01 a.m. AST (00:01 I guess).

Later...
Joan

[turtle]

February 27, at 03:47 a.m. As I'm currently in Palestine, this is Palestinian time (wich means +- a couple of hours  No, seriously, this is my guess, whereever in the world AST are)

looking good on the SAM curves.

I'm looking forward to seeing what comes in march.

Thomas

[dedgren]

Well, make that a bit more than an hour.

When I see something I don't like these days, my inclination is to fix it.

And I don't like this a whole bunch...



...so I'm fixing it.



This'll be a texture upgrade, so it's pretty simple.

Later.

[Haljackey]

Sweet!  I always hated how the diagonal road curve isn't very smooth.  This is going to be an excellent addition to the game!

Just throwing this out, but perhaps OWRs can be tackled as well?  Anyways good luck.

Best,
-Haljackey

[deathtopumpkins]

Oh wow David!  That is truly awesome...

[nerdly_dood]

FINALLY!

I've been hating that road curve for too long! Keep it coming!

[dedgren]

And there you have it...

Now, before you get too excited, each of those retextured game textures is probably going to screw up a dozen other cr-ppy game textures I haven't fixed.

UPDATE:  Like this one.



...Okay, okay.  I'm fixing this, too...

I just did a full retexture of game rail- I don't know if I'm ready to do a complete overhaul of game roads just yet.  But, I'll take a look.

Simply awesome! I do really like your work in textures, keep it up!
