Maxis Highway Override (Project Symphony) - Development & Support

[jdenm8]

Will this draggable feature be made possible to make quick and easy diamonds

No. This is one thing I explicitly decided to not include because it's not hard at all to make one with the RHW pieces.

Well, I meant the 4 level stack. Here's the diagram:

Sorry for PNGs! Will you make modified FlexFly ramps for the 4 level stack

With the next release of RHW, this should be possible without using MHW.

The 4 level stack is considered the holy grail of RHW modding. The Maxis Highway already has a stack piece included by the NAM... I wonder how difficult it would be to make a project Symphony variant. I would assume it would be quite the task, as only 1 of the 3 Maxis Highway Stack pieces for the NAM was actually made.

If you want to see the other examples, pay a visit to my SC4 archives thread (link in my signature).

Can you also make acceleration/deceleration lanes?

And about the project:

I knew exactly what you meant. See Reply #96.

And about the project: 

Currently, that would remain on the scope of the RHW at the moment. Maybe next version, but not now. There's still quite some basic stuff I need to do...

Some excellent stuff I've been seeing here, especially the roundabout interchanges. I'm looking forward to seeing this released, I've always been put off by the unrealistic scale of the MHW, yet it can be quite useful in some circumstances. I think this will definitely encourage more people to use the MHW. Keep up the excellent work.

Do you think you might be able to make some flyover pieces... I was feeling nostalgic about Sim City and would like to play it again...

Perhaps I should have been more descriptive:  flyover ramps that can go 3 levels or more... not just a curved bridge like the one that has been released already...

[MandelSoft]

^^ No need to double-quote your post. And no, that's still far away from a development point of view...

Maarten, I would ask you to show a photo of another interesting thing about Project Symphony. When I look at the development of your models I really feel the ultimate pleasure. I can say hand on heart that I am a true fan of your work.

[MandelSoft]

Symphony goes underground... literaly:



Other neat stuff you can do with Symphony:

FAMHW:


Four level combinations of T-Stacks



(Note: missing model has been fixed)

Some diagonal transitions:




Well, those are my treats of today

Best,
Maarten

[xannepan]

Amazing... This game will ge better and better!

[Simcoug]

FAMHW!!!!   

[mave94]

Treats!? This is just amazing, fantastic! Just too much teasers for today.

[sunv123]

This makes me think, should I use MHW, or should I use RHW? They both are basically RHW right?

Yes! FAMHW and MHW/RHW Tunnels!

[Gugu3]

Simply amazing is all that I can say!
with this stuff and the new RHW we will have a sort of new game to play with!

[Indiana Joe]

Every time I check this thread, I have to change my pants...

Brilliant as always Maarten.  Keep up the good work! 

[noahclem]

Spectacular work      Diagonal on-slopes and avenue transitions, FA, tunnels and more    And the medians are there through curves and everything, wish 6C had that! One small thing I noticed is the tunnel entrance/exits seem blocked by that light bar inside.

Fantastic!

[teddyrised]

I couldn't thank you more for sharing the really spectacular work! To be honest, I really didn't expect FAR pieces to be included in project symphony... so it's definitely a very pleasant surprise.

More importantly, it's now possible to create RHW tunnels (sort of) with the remodelled maxis highway tunnels. Woohoo to unified look

[GDO29Anagram]

More importantly, it's now possible to create RHW tunnels (sort of) with the remodelled maxis highway tunnels.

It's still considered impossible since you're still using another network's tunnels.

One small thing I noticed is the tunnel entrance/exits seem blocked by that light bar inside.

Actually, those lights (and those are the kinds of lights that tell you which lanes are open or not) are fastened above the tunnel entrance.

This makes me think, should I use MHW, or should I use RHW? They both are basically RHW right?

To answer your second question, it's technically not RHW, even though it relies on bits and pieces of the RHW, and is supposed to make you think like you're using RHW, but it's simply not RHW.

To answer your first question,... Use both. You know you want to. (And to answer the question you're probably gonna ask, yes, you can use both RHW and PS at the same time.)
