(WIP) Official Development Thread for the A from Lefferts to 207th

[WizDaGamer]

lol, it is not that serious 

The switches @ Lefferts Blvd need to be worked on before I start on Rockaway Blvd's own. They have been updated with textures from the rails to the catwalks. I'll just let the images speak for themselves...






And progress with Rockaway switches are coming along, slowly....

NOT THAT SERIOUS!? ITS SUPER SERIOUS OOOOO FOAM FOAM FOAM FOAM FOAM

Rockaway Blvd area is starting to come around, slowly.....

I feel you, I've had to deal with Queensboro and 111 St which took me almost a week complete.

[bigbellymon4]

Wow, and yeah, it is a challenge to code some of the complex sections.

Man I remember playing the reverse route since before OpenBVE, glad development is in process!

[Ztraintobroad]

Quick question, will there be a late night shuttle scenario?

You mean the A to Lefferts, right? It was released before OpenBVE was made? wow, the route has some age to it. Thanks!

Funny you should ask that as the current route I am building has a nighttime texture for the background lol. Yes the first release hopefully will be the late night shuttle from Lefferts to Euclid, with the lead developer's permission.

Finished coding for the elevated curves in the route up to 80th Street, platform and track wise. Rockaway Blvd and 104th Street have all their proper curves, from the rails to the platforms to the windscreens. Eventually, I will need to go back and update the canopy, as it is still the old one from the old A. Time to finish the mayhem of Rockaway Blvd switches......

Looking good my friend!

OHHHHH YES.  FOAM FOAM FOAM FOAM FOAM FOAM FOAM. YESSSSS

[bigbellymon4]

Switch Work coming along. Now I understand why the MTA uses weekends to do work, as there is less train traffic on the rails lol. The third set of switches (Rockaway/Lefferts bound track) will be coded after the middle set is done

[WizDaGamer]

get that done boy! thats what sup! can't wait for it!

[bigbellymon4]

Thanks! I need to place the guard rails and catwalks for the middle and Manhattan-bound track, and some fine detailing left to do. A few more weekends and these switches should be done. Then on to the Lefferts-bound track bypass

I hate it when you try to reuse some of the old switches from Lexington and then the color of the rails don't match/don't have the same texture as your actual rails. It always gets me tight :p
