Node Controller Renewal:

In the original mod, twists were allowed on non-main slopes. This allowed for roads to "inherit" the slope of the main road and modify that to fit the needs. In the pictures above I have an intersection that slopes upwards and the two side roads are initially sloped and gradually flatten out. The intersection is a compact diverging diamond and sloped exits and entrances are common.
The "twist" parameter does nothing for non-main slope roads which makes me believe it's a bug, but if it is not a bug, it should definitely be implemented.
