Will this be addressed in new GFX patch?

Was wondering if the law defying roads and floating convoy trucks would be addressed in the upcoming patch

Wait until you encounter the farms and windmills on the side of a 80 degree slope, engineering marvel I'm tellin ya.

I hate seeing that in a terrain, it totally ruins any suspension of disbelief. It is more lazy terrain design than a problem with the terrain.

When building a terrain the designer hits a button in the editor and it builds all the roads and railway lines with their trains and trucks for all the fields automatically. The problem is the editor just lays all these out heading due north from each field. The designer can then reroute the roads around hills and lakes by hand if he chooses to or replace them with barges. With up to 255 fields plus strat objects needing supply routes on an MA map this can be a right time consuming PITA.

It would be nice if HTC could make the automatic road laying routine in the TE a bit more intelligent, so it lays them out avoiding steep slopes, water or another road. This would save a lot of time on building a good looking MA terrain.

Realy kills it for me when I see this I hope it gets fixed!

  +1 this !!!

Although, one of the most incredibly funny moments while playing Aces High, was watching an M3 pull up to the base of a steep 5 kilometer slope, release its troops and watch them zip to the top and eventually to the maproom.    I know this has nothing to do with the road system, but life's imperfections have sometimes provided some pleasant surprises.

I never really looked at it that way, maybe because I don't GV that often.

Agree with all this.

Reminds me of time being run over on the runway by a supply barge.

Yes,  but inbreeding isn't easily coaded into the terrain editor
