We are proud to announce that the full PATH system for OpenBVE is now in development. The monster pack will be one of the most comprehensive yet for OpenBVE, and will include PA-1 to PA-5 rolling stock in varying consists with appropriate safety systems and 3D cabs, as well as all PATH routes in a variety of scenarios. The pack is being developed by myself, Nyctrman, BStyles, Fan Railer, TyMorgan, SimCentral, and Manuel18. In addition to the trains included, all routes will be included with a multitude of scenarios, such as weather scenarios, deadheads, yard moves, animated track work, etc. All routes and trains are set to be 4th to 5th generation quality, and we have no plan to rush this project. It'll take time to be better than WOS 1, but the accuracy we will achieve is incredible compared to WOS, which was developed in Germany. The pack we are making will include realistic features seldom covered in train simulators, such as miscalibrated timers, trains that are actually tripped when they hit a signal, announcements on all routes, all three generations of the WTC station, and buildings as they appear in real life. Remember, we plan on creating several THOUSAND unique objects and several hundred announcements, both manual and automated. The comprehensive release will not be ready for AT LEAST a year, most likely closer, or more than, two years, but we will keep you updated along the way. Check out the videos below to see some of what's done so far. Note that many updates have been put into place since these were recorded, including new signals and station objects:
