(v2.4) (RELEASED) R-16 Update Thread

[[CT1660]]

Just wondering, for those who took the NY subway in the 1970's-1980's, were the route side rollsigns also illuminated or just the current side destination signs?

Looking good but what about the cab. Try to ask Mr. RailFan for a cab.

Did a little joyride on the Franklin Ave Shuttle. Was messing with the camera angles.

Judging from how you act (and the fact that you spelled "BETA" wrong), I doubt you even know what BETA testing is. BETA testing is NOT for obtaining content early.
It is for helping developers pinpoint bugs that they wouldn't notice because the content would be used in a setting other than that of the developers'.


On a separate note, the R16 definitely needs a new loop sound (as the R38's loop sound is the A/C, something the R16s don't have) along with a bunch of other sound changes that make the train sound like a true WABCO SMEE instead of an train with an RT-2 braking system, Westcode, or an NYAB system.
Next chance you can, see if you can get some sounds off a running R12, R15, R17, R21, or R22 (either the Transit Museum, Shoreline Trolley Museum, or Seashore Trolley Museum)

I don't think so.

Yeah. the loop sound is just temporary until i can find the axial fan sound.
Finally got a new loop sound!

The strange compressor sound is a result of mixing two tracks of the same WABCO compressor, since it plays two sound files at the same time. I was experimenting with the sounds to see if there is a way so the "muffled" version would be more audible when the camera is further away, and the proper sound would have the volume increased as the camera got closer to the train. As a result, as i acquired permission from the owner of the WABCO video, i may just leave that sound in there, so the true WABCO compressor is heard, but may do a minor edit for identification reasons.

To give you an idea of what i was talking about, in the beginning of "Stations of the elevated", you can hear the WABCO compressors running from the SMEE trains at the beginning, which is also the secondary source i got the other WABCO sounds from:

I am currently experimenting with some trial-and-error features. If it all goes well for me, expect a few series of screenshots within the next few days (or weeks).

On the basis of showing a little progress so far:

Tweaking the rollsigns




Placeholder images for the future side facing seats and for other seats.


Some more placeholder images and the new floor (still need to adjust the tile size so they are all squares)


placeholder roof and ads, lights are now in their proper positions:

Looking great! But do not forget that the walls on either side of the doors on the R16 (where the ads are) slant inward a bit, like in this picture: http://www.orenstransitpage.com/otpnycpics/r16int.jpg

Unless of course you are making the version with the non-slanted interior walls, it would be nice to have them in
