[Durfsurn]

That viaduct work is amazing Alex!

I have a little progress to show as well:

Nice work, Billy--something that I don't think original SAM devs jplumbley or Diggis would have imagined in their wildest dreams!

A little further viaduct work here.

Those diagonals don't sound like much, but they're a real game changer. If we had diagonal height transitions, I could do diagonal interchanges fairly easily. No more relying on awkward orthogonal interchanges.

I'm guessing this stability is the focus for NAM 38?

And the SAM stuff will come in handy too. I guess it doing really well in the polls did have an influence...

We will.

Lots of stability and gap-filling.  You'll be seeing a lot of that with future NAM releases, particularly on my end.

And the SAM stuff will come in handy too. I guess it doing really well in the polls did have an influence...

We've also (re-)gained a dev team member who is quite interested in SAM content.  That's very good news for all the SAM enthusiasts out there.

And in case anyone thought we were kidding around about the whole "shorter release cycle" thing . . . this just went to the NAM Associates for internal testing.

agile !

I smell a NAM release as either a Thanksgiving or Christmas present! Being able to present the first alpha build of the next version a meager month after the previous release is an amazing achievement! It would seem that the NAM development cycle will rapidly catch up in its usual schedule.

You made me log-in just to like this (and comment as well) bravo!

That's really fast paced! cant wait for the next release!

[Tarkus]

What the . . . ?

[matias93]

ok, now I really don't know what could be happening here

[Tyberius06]

Nice one Alex! After so many years, this finally seems to be coming true! Pretty amazing and crazy stuff!

Is that... Draggable Tunnels...?

[Terring7]

Flying cars!
(i hope)

[gn_leugim]

that would be god like!

however, one of the sims leaves for the shop, without any exit

That's an unfixable game limitation.

[metarvo]

It can be an advantage though.  Just think of it... a new form of RCI access without conventional road frontage.  It will also boost the underground city scene a lot, with the potential for buildings to have underground entrances.

I've found something akin, when using FLUPs to put roads underground, the cars can still park on the bordering lots, as if they had underground accesses

[Tarkus]

Well, here's the Secret Weapon video to prove or disprove any speculation as to what all that is about . . .

Nice underground roads!

[Gwyain]

Is freight able to use these new FLUPs? Does that mean can have heavy rail underground more easily than U-rail?

[Wiimeiser]

A few limitations here, but... Draggable tunnels are now a reality! Now we can have actual RHW tunnels!
