Content Development / Re: Updating the old (L) for BVE

« on: April 06, 2013, 08:15:45 pm »

I'm sorry haven't been here for a long time...

That's great to hear another (L) train route being developed! The version I have is the original route by Edward Yee, and it's a really good thing to hear about a new, more realistic (L) route being developed!

It would be better if they put the Orion 5 in the SBS Livery and reran it in the S79 without their maximum speed limitor.

Yes, however this is just the basics. Hopefully I can make another production on station timing etc. Our train operators have to do a one month long course.

Station time is also similar to NYC's ; In NYC, a number is displayed denotating the miles per hour to go in order to clear. However, in Toronto there is no aspect for station time.

Wow that's a great price. It costs $8 here and may even be discontinued. Students from K-12 get 3 free rides per school day, but the card is actually programmed to work every weekday until the end of school including holidays.

Only with the orange card; doesn't the green card use only get 3 $1.50 bus rides on weekdays excluding holidays?

Game looks good and I'll definetely be checking this one out. However, how are the frame rates for this game? Do you need a high end computer to run it, or will it do good on most average computers.

This will need a high end computer (for Berlin-Spandau 1989 [for Grundorf, a Pentium will do]) , the minimum (I think Core i3 for maximum quality) Even my Pentium Dual-core cannot handle such graphics in the same time; the bus will go crashing about...

Through the high school
Into the water
Through streets and buildings...

NYCTA Projects / Re: (RELEASED) Official Development thread for the R46 for OpenBVE

« on: January 02, 2012, 05:32:27 pm »

It's looking great! Keep up the good work.

There's one more thing you need to do in your truck before it's deemed accurate and precise: remove the tripcock on the left side of the R46 truck. Only IRT trucks have the tripcock on that side. IND/BMT trucks have it on the other side.


correct, but if the train reverses, it has the tripcock on the wrong side. So, in my opinion, it should be on both sides

Another thing you should note. Since DJ Hammers said that your trucks will be used in his trains, there's three changes you need to make.

1) Tripcocks: they need to be changed to match IRT standards (as mentioned before)
2) Springs - they are yellow on the IRT. You could also get brown springs - steel dust accumulates over time.
3) The entire yellow wooden beam needs a different texture. The wooden beams on the IRT are higher than the IRT/BMT ones, but the contact shoe level stays the same. There will be something under the wooden beam connecting the contact shoe to it, as circled here:


Those are the three main (and the most obvious) differences between the IRT trucks and the IND/BMT trucks.

I think I might just revive my project. You are starting to motivate me to create something like this.

why do sometimes R46s are paired in 2 cars  instead of the original 4?

Transit / Re: Subway cars in the media? - Post sightings here!

« on: November 10, 2011, 08:25:17 pm »

it is a R32 because of the number

according to TTMG, numbers for the 32s are 3348, 3350-3658, and 3660-3949.

The number in the movie is a 3674.

One second thought, 81st Street Museum of Natural History is not a express station, its tiles are not yellow, and there are supposed to be animals on the wall, particularly dinosaurs and other stuff. The station looks more like 14th Street (A,C,E) in Manhattan or Kew Gardens Union Turnpike (E.F) in Queens.

The subway door sound is messed up.

Yes Minecraft

My classmates are obsessed with it.

as you can see, there are two gaming types, free  or the full paid.

There are two scenarios ; creativity and survival mode.

If you can note this, the MTA really planned a 2nd Avenue Subway before!
