Namdoc:New Features

Changes for Network Addon Mod Version 33 (November 26, 2015)

Changes initiated in NAM 33 Pre-Release:

• Massive update to the Draggable Ramp Interface (DRI) and FLEXRamp systems in the RealHighway (RHW) Mod. 90% of all previous static puzzle piece ramps have been given easier-to-use FLEX and/or draggable counterparts, and a plethora of new ramp interfaces for elevated RHW networks are now available, Wealth textures are included for ground level versions.
• The RHW FLEXFly system has been completely overhauled, and now includes 90-degree and 45-degree versions, in single and dual-lane configurations, at Ground Level (L0), 7.5m (L1), and 15m (L2) heights.
• The double-decker RHW-4 (DDRHW-4) has been lowered one level (from L2/L3 to L1/L2), increasing ease of use.
• Disconnector added, to simplify demolition of FLEX-based RHW pieces.
• Multi-Radius Curves (MRCs), in both draggable and FLEX form, have been added to the RealHighway Mod, in three different radii, for the RHW-2, MIS, RHW-4, and RHW-6S.
• Stability improvements to the FLEX Height Transitions.
• Major improvements to the RealRailway (RRW) plugin, which now supports most crossings.
• Transit station functionality and compatibility has been further improved.
• Minor fixes to other NAM components.

Further changes in the NAM 33 official release:

• The RealRailway (RRW) FlexTrack system makes an earlier-than-expected debut. See the FlexTrack User's Guide in the Documentation folder for more details.
• PedMall functionality greatly enhanced with the addition of access paths to most non-Highway-type road networks, including NWM networks and Tram/El-Rail Dual-Networking items. Pedestrians may now directly access the PedMalls from these other networks without the need of a station or other transit-enabled lot/switch.
• Many custom bridges that previously blocked all ferry traffic have now been corrected.
• MandelSoft's previous RHW texture sets, including Euro, Ontario, and Irish/South African textures, have been discontinued. A new standard Euro RHW set, based on the default US set, has been added as a replacement, and adds compatibility for all current RHW features.
• An issue with the NAM 33 Pre-Release in which the Controller Compiler would fail due to an XML read error has been fixed.
• Several overhanging texture issues with the new RHW ramp interfaces have been corrected.
• The R3 FLEX-Multi Radius Curve now rotates fully as intended.
• A number of Left-Hand Drive transit path file issues across the entire mod have been added or corrected for proper functionality.
