Maxis Highway Override (Project Symphony) - Development & Support

[jdenm8]

auto ramps/diamond intersections would be cool.

Not really the point of Symphony. That stuff can easily and quickly be built by you. We will only be prefabbing the hard stuff like the T-Bone. Nothing else.

[Durfsurn]

still good to know thanks!

[Wiimeiser]

But then you'll need something to deal with the autoramps...
Might as well just disable it...

[jdenm8]

We can't deal with the Automatic ramp configurations, if we disable them for symphony, they'll be disabled for everyone, even people who don't have it installed.

As Gugu3 mentioned, where nobody answered, will there be diagonal ramps? And also will there be special pieces for making a diagonal cloverleaf?

[Tarkus]

We don't know.  At the present time, no.

Currently, due to the complex nature of these diagonal rams, especially the fact that it will be hard to place two next to each other, there are none at the moment. It would also require a whole new scala of transitions and such...

[AngryBirdsFan436]

Well, for the autoramp disable, why won't you make it an optional feature to disable it? Impossible?

[memo]

It would entail another copy of the controller which is a no-no. We can hardly keep a single controller file synchronized.

Maarten sorry if I worried, but I was wondering if there was any progress with Part 2 of the video for Project Symphony, and in particular the construction of intersections.

[MandelSoft]

Well, I will re-record the video, this time better prepared (and with the P57 in better shape)...

Well, I will re-record the video, this time better prepared (and with the P57 in better shape)...

I wish you luck with this and I watched this video with great delight and pleasure.

[jcluvzgamez]

WOW!!!!!! I just saw part 2 of Project Symphony videos. I'm still drooling. That T stack is unreal! There seriously  needs to be a drooling smiley face!     

[ivo_su]

The best video I've ever seen.

Wath an amazing video Maarten! Can't believe all the great features we will have soon

[AngryBirdsFan436]

OMG! My laptop just blew up because it can't handle the awesomeness! GREAT JOB MARTEEN! Will there be an Elevated to Elevated Cloverleaf piece? (L3 to L2)

[Tarkus]

There's no plans for an L3 Symphony MHW, so I'd imagine the answer would be no.

-Alex

[AngryBirdsFan436]

So that means, in this release, there will be no Elevated to Elevated MHW cloverleafs?

[teddyrised]

Breathtaking work you have there, Marteen! I like it at the very last part of the video where is it entirely possible to interface an avenue piece with the elevated roundabout piece. That's just brilliant

So that means, in this release, there will be no Elevated to Elevated MHW cloverleafs?

Not in a single piece, I suppose. The default MHV cloverleaf pieces are awfully underscaled compared to the rest of the items in the revamped MHW.

And I implore everyone to refrain from probing, and give the NAM team a peace of mind while they try their very best testing and ensuring the upcoming release is stable, functional and, of course, awesome

[Jaris]

Two questions:

1. Will there be a 2-level roundabout interchange with the roundabout on the ground? Would look sweet
2. Will it be possible to mix theese Symphonie pieces (for example the cloverleaf-loop) with RHW? So you could use the cloverleaf-loop, but make some nice slip-lane setups with RHW?
