Photography / Amtrak California Capitol Corridor: LONG Rides
« on: July 15, 2012, 07:57:16 am »
Here is the pair of 6 gb 2.5 hour videos that I shot back on July 5th. They took me forever to upload, but it was worth it. Even if you can't sit through 10 minutes of it, they still make for great audio background while you're doing other stuff. Enjoy =)

Be sure to check my channel to see what other kind of madness I've been up to in the bay area ;)

Been playing around with this one for a while:
OpenBVE EXCLUSIVE: MTR MLR Stock Operating on East Rail Line (Updated Motor Sounds).wmv

The original version does not have the motor sounds, so I found some from the Class 319, which uses a similar propulsion system, and transplanted them. turned out pretty well.

Very good work! Besides the desert freight and Canadian mountains route, are there any other routes for a locomotive like this?
Quite a few actually. If you head over to the bve wiki website, you can search for not only this locomotive so you can download it and mod it yourself, but you can also browse through their hundreds of routes. There are at least several dozen commuter style European based routes (or Japanese) that are either electric or diesel and can be used to run these trains. For example, I nearly always use the Sellye-Pecs and Kiralyliget routes to run my personal commuter stock. There is also the MAV120a that I have found very pleasant to operate, and have taken the original route, and created different run scenarios for. You may also like the Solyomvar route, which is related to the Kiralyliget route (and electrified). These are all the main routes I run with my equipment.

Oh, I missed one. Hard to find, but the Edinburgh - Aberdeen line is a nice long 2 hour diesel passenger run that you could use for this as well. Takes a lot of patience to run that one, imo, especially if you want to be extremely realistic and follow the speed limit signs to the marker.

EDIT: How could I omit this one? If you can find both of the websites, the Holland based routes are VERY long and VERY fun to run. They are all electrified, but you can obviously operate diesel stock on them if you wish to. There are, I believe, a dozen or so routes in total, and all together, they'll give you about.... AT LEAST 24 hours of non stop game play.

Content Development / P42DC Object File assistance requested.
« on: July 12, 2012, 01:37:28 pm »
I would like to make use of a P42DC object file that is found in the bvevirginia group of objects. In it's current state, the b3d only codes for half of the locomotive. one side is solid, and there is a front, but the other side is blank. If I send someone the relevant object files, would they be able to modify the b3d so that it codes for a complete (minus the rear, since there's no picture for the rear of the locomotive). In addition, there's an amfleet object that has the same issue. It would be nice if the same person could do that for me.

Another alternative is to show me how to manipulate the coding in the b3d file so that the textures are used on both sides of the object. Whatever suits you guys. Thanks.

what was going on that made that massive delay?
Train down at Rahway, and then wire problems that necessitated single tracking into NYP.

804
Yup! I finally got some nice brake valve sounds and loop sounds to use. This is also a result of me being able to ride the subway a lot more often now. I've recently got full 1080p Rail Fan Window footage of the entire C line, which now offers me a virtually unlimited amount of high quality sounds to use for the R38 and other BVE projects.
Lol that's heavy stuff. A bit unrelated, but are you planning on uploading that to youtube?

805
Great sounds, especially the horn. However, I'm not a big fan of the bell.
I hear you on the bell, but to be honest, before they refitted the P42's with E-bells, a great number of them sounded crappy like this.

806
Well, here you go =P
OpenBVE EXCLUSIVE: F42AC Push Pull Test (GE 7FDL-16 Sounds + PL42AC Traction in F40PH Body)
Another one of my now many offshoot modifications to the F40. It's not EMD powered anymore, so I figured it deserved it's own thread.

NYCTA Projects / Re: (WIP) Official Update Thread for the R44

I think that it may be possible to implement this sort of a vibration sound by using motor sounds that play,
only when the train is decelerating, but I would require some assistance in doing this from somebody who knows
how to implement motor sounds on trains in the train.dat file.

Additionally, I am looking in to simulating the lag between when the air brakes and dynamic brakes start applying.
On trains with SMEE and RT-2 braking, the air brakes begin braking the train about half a second before the dynamic
brakes apply. Hopefully I can get this implemented too.

Motor sounds in the train.dat file are simple enough once you get the hang of it. Still takes a good while though. The key is getting the correct sound clip to play for the specific sound you want to loop. after that, it's trial and error to see if you can get it to sound perfect. It's a lot easier with the new openBVE train editor, but that program has gone offline as far as i know, and you can't find it anywhere. But I'm sure if you really want it, someone will be able to send it to you.

Transit / Re: Ever Wanted to See How Fast BART can Really Accelerate?

Nice video.. Is the train ATO?
yep. manual operation on BART is limited to 25 mph.

Well, now you can! Here it is; a largely uninterrupted clip of the speedometer as this BART train accelerates incrementally to its top operating speed. Enjoy:
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Train Accelerating to 67 MPH (80 MPH Command Speed)
This video can also be used to program sounds for any future rolling stock for OpenBVE that uses similar architecture as this BART train ;)

Here's version 1.5 (panel swap). There are two panels here, so you tell me which one you think is better: first one? or second one?
