NYCTA Projects / Re: (EDIT): MNRR New Haven Line Starts Developement
« on: January 08, 2015, 09:11:49 pm »The M8 is pretty much done. Just working on some finishing touches and generating consist combinations.I was developing from GCT to Stamford, but I guess I could do Stamford to GCT first, like I said, I'm doing the route to Stamford first, then V2.0 would most likely be to New Haven. GCT to New Rochelle is finished =)
I don't know which direction you're developing in, but for ease of the power change operation between Pelham and Mount Vernon East, I suggest that you have the route run in the Grand Central direction. This is because of the way the power mode change is set up in the current M8; to go from AC to DC, all one has to do is turn off the ATS function, which is default on once you go from emergency brake (which you start off in when the game starts) to full service application position. However, to go from DC to AC, you have to turn on the ATS function, which immediately applies the emergency brakes for a short period of time. Of course, the goal is to develop a plugin that takes care of the power change function from DC to AC without activating the emergency brakes, but until then, this is my suggestion.
