Can a Highway Engineer become a TOP 1% Freeways player?
Переглядів 626,892
День томуTHE FINALE! Freeways part 14 where I try the best traffic fixing techniques from my real life highway design experience to see if they work in Freeways! This time I take on my old designs using everything I've learned so far in Freeways!

@@Melissanoma Too true, love a good “So if you’re new here -” or a “If you’re new to the channel -“ followed by explaining something for the newbies, it really sells the video because then more people can enjoy it
@codingkriggsofficial Рік тому
Correct. I discovered this channel via a random episode of Freeways, and I really applaud the practice. After all, the one I clicked on was recommended by youtube, and you never know when you're uploading which one will go viral, so might as well treat each one as a visitor's first. Also, seeing him explain it each time has not gotten annoying to me at all because he manages to introduce each concept the moment it comes into play in the video and not a moment sooner.

Level 78 seems to remain "unsimulated" and, hence, unscored. To become more "1%-ish", you need every pinch of score!

Maps that have only one entrance and one exit don't get simulated. This is why the "strongest shape" road he did at the beginning and the one in the top left that bridges out over the ocean along with a few others I believe don't have a score. There is no simulating them because there is no traffic jam issue to calculate against.

My current world efficiency after building all 81 screens is just shy of 31 thousand but with a load of optimisations still to do, and I've managed to unlock all pictures also. On the instructions screen the left and right hand side shows all the pictures you can unlock. You can see in the video that when you were on that screen one picture was darkened on the left hand side. Look around 14:26. I've got a list somewhere of the order of the pictures and which screen they were from. I've watched "Biertier, ze German engineer" play this and he's got over 40,000 world efficiency from what I recall by optimising so much it's unbelievable. It's well worth looking at to see how much the screens can be improved.

One of the cool things about San Antonio was the massive highway interchanges. There are several that have bridges that soar over, over 100 feet tall.

Okay, no, that was the only cool thing about living in San Antonio...
