Great work. Just some reverse psychology. When will the NWM NOT be out?  ;)  By the way, how's the progress on the RULs coming along?

Well, we have gotten one of the biggest advances as of recent worked out.  For about 3 months Tarkus and I have been sharing test RULs for the TLA-5 Intersections, such as:

4way and T Intersections:
TLA-5/TLA-5
TLA-5/TLA-3
TLA-5/Road
TLA-5/Street
TLA-5/OWR
TLA-5/Avenue

The intersections are the hardest part of RULing.  Especially with this project since TLA-3 and TLA-5 and Road are all based on the same network.. These intersections are very, very finicky when it comes to RULing them (pun intended).  The RULs for these intersections caused much grief and delay in this project and Tarkus decided to try a different approach than we had been going earlier and to our surprise was able to make the stability in these intersections much, much stronger.

Now, what is required is a plan of attack on how to implement corners and then diagonals.  There will be no release before the diagonals are done.  The diagonals are the next hurdle so to speak and we currently are debating what the best way to implement them will be.
______________________________________________

As for when will it "NOT" be out?

Pat is right, it wont be out tomorrow.  But you can expect a preliminary release sometime around when the Diagonals are figured out.  I think we have just passed the 1 year mark where this project was officially announced as being "started".  So, lets hope the Diagonal RULs dont take as long as the Intersection RULs.

The link is broken....
*makes habit to never click tinyurl links*

Here is why (and my guess to the "broken link"). Am I correct?
Current project: Movies 14

You may have meant to search for Houdini. (result of searching for XiahouDun on SC4D)

What link?   ;)  :D

Just trying to inject some laughter into everyone's day here.

Good job so far, I see a lot of TLAs and TLRs where I live...but then in Salem there is a road with four total lanes:  one going east, then the next is the turning lane, then two going west. (Not that this matters, i would just as readily use a RD-4, or whatever a four-lane road with no median strip is abbrevated as)
My days here are numbered. It's been great and I've had a lot of fun, but I've moved on to bigger and better things.

Hi  sincitybaby, there is currently no timetable set for a release of any of these TLA-Aves project. It's still In Progress. We have to wait patiently ok.

I can't say for certain, but there's a lot of crossover with the RULs with the TLA-3 and AVE-2, so it's quite possible. ;)

Thanks for the progress report! :thumbsup:  I agree, let's hope it doesn't take too long to do the diagonal RULs...but since I don't do transit modding of any sort other than TEing lots (EDIT: which I do correctly after reading several threads and getting advice on proper TEing techniques :D) I wouldn't really know the steps involved in this awesomeness. ;D

Ahhhhhhh! :o A word of advice to anyone transit enabling lots, you never want to let anyone know about it in NAM developement.
