cape44, thanks for the compliments (and for linking this thread in your sig)!  I appreciate it.   :thumbsup:

I would post a pic of the TLA-7 intersections with other TLAs, but unfortunately, we haven't gotten to that stage of development yet. :D  The TLA-7 hasn't been a focus, so it hasn't really progressed any since those orthogonal section prototype pics shown in the stickied post.  And it probably won't be revisited much until NWM Version 2 begins development.  Which is really jumping ahead, since we still have a long ways to go before even Version 1 can come out.

Everyone following this project:  At this point, I've got two other fairly large-scale projects going on--the RHW and a series of new curve and Fractional Angle puzzle pieces.  And RL has gotten a bit in the way of both of those projects recently.  I think jplumbley is affected by RL right now as well. 

So, for all intents and purposes, the NWM right now is more or less on hiatus at this moment.  I will be coming back to it, but I cannot guarantee when that will be.  What can I say--we like to surprise people. ;)

Whatever gets finished by the time they decide to release it, I suppose.

EDIT: Part of comment was out-of-line. My bad.

Dragonshardz, read what he said, not just assume another 'when will it be ready' question!

Maestro44... maybe you should read what Nerdly (EDIT: dragonshardz) said...  :D

tho the "done when it is done" reply was a tad excessive... considering starmanw is not a firstposter in this thread...

And, "it will be released when it's released."

That should do the job nicely.

I agree--I think that the entire post was excessive, and that NAM questions should probably be fielded by members of the NAM team, since they're the most knowledgeable. Let's move on, shall we?

Tarkus

To answer the question at hand, I am not entirely certain what will be in Version 1.  Since the project is essentially on hiatus and still rather far from any release, it's hard to tell.  The 1-tile networks (TLA-3, AVE-2, ARD-3 and OWR-3--perhaps an OWR-1, too) are pretty safe bets, though.  The one feature jplumbley and I had been working on the most heavily was the TLA-5.  The TLA-5 is fairly stable at the moment, but it's limited to strictly orthogonal functionality in its current state.

The NWM's initial release will likely have to wait until the new Road Turning Lanes (RTL) Plugin is released (which is also on hold right now), since the NWM is not compatible with the existing NAM RTL.  If the NWM were released before, you'd basically have to pick between one or the other, and I'm not sure that's a suitable solution.

Hope that clears things up.

If you ever do release the first verison, I'm fine with a straight only TLA 5. Basically, the two way left turn mod is only straight as well.
