Not exactly...................................
It will depend of it they're major errors or updates that require new objects.That might not just take about a months. It would be many months if this happened.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone :) This route is based on the modern-day Franklin Ave shuttle.

Here's some more photo-realistic goodness for you guys:

(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f160/error46146/shutpv2.jpg)

The tunnel in the foreground is the Washington Ave overpass with photorealistic side walls (sorry couldn't do anything about the top as I do not have any textures for that lol). Down the tracks to your left is a grass/dirt area being held back by the short brick wall, all photorealistic. The right side is blank space (although I might eventually put something there anyway just to make it look nicer). In the background is the Montgomery St overpass, completely photorealistic. You can't see in the photo, but I have also added some buildings onto the side behind the trees.

now i don't know if someone asked this already but in which Direction will this route be headed? And Why Not make a version that uses the old Malbone street tunnel to terminate on the other side of the prospect park station?
Title: Re: The Franklin Avenue Shuttle
Post by: error46146 on May 30, 2011, 09:09:33 pm
This route will be heading from Prospect Park to Franklin Avenue.

I can't make a route using the other tunnel since I have never seen it firsthand and do not have any data for it.

That is correct. I don't think they've ever moved that 3rd train sitting on the southbound local track at Prospect Park
Title: Re: The Franklin Avenue Shuttle
Post by: Smooth23 on May 30, 2011, 09:36:20 pm
That train remained there for years it was never moved it collected "dust" and got rusty.

The one at the beginning of the southbound platform?  That train was definitely moved from time to time.

idk why the track wouldn't curve though, but w/e ill fix that later lol

(http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/415/fscurvedwalls.png)

Will there be 3rd rail gaps, proper NYCT signals, and brightness commands programmed in?
Title: Re: The Franklin Avenue Shuttle
Post by: error46146 on June 27, 2011, 10:24:43 pm
Thanks! :)

Proper signals, as soon as I can get a set of textures I will put them in.
3rd rail gaps and brightness commands idk how to program those in

The route right now is in RW format though id have to convert it first before i do any of this lol

IDK if it works for everyone, but brightness commands work for me in RW

It's not supposed to. OpenBVE recognizes commands that don't belong in rw.

Yes, I read that in the OpenBVE documentation. I forgot to mention that.

The Franklin Ave Shuttle for OpenBVE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=574y_df5bck#)

Here is a little preview video of the Franklin Ave Shuttle. The beginning half of the clip features the new "Animated Static Train" that moves on the southbound track of the route. The later half features a run from Prospect Park to Botanic Gardens.

The random clips of music were the music that was currently playing on my laptop while filming the footage, and i didnt want to have a half-silent video so w/e lol but if you're interested:
first clip - Anita Baker, second clip - Simple Minds, third clip- Whitney Houston
(yes all 80s music lol)
