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

« on: November 11, 2011, 08:11:49 pm »

Also, it's a fucking movie! Be glad they used something not only resembling a New York City subway train, but also using one similar to a train one would normally see on Central Park West in 2002. I've seen some horrible examples of movies depicting the subway system. That scene in Knowing is the first that comes to mind (look it up on YouTube).

Don't get your underwear all up in knots over things most viewers wouldn't give two shits about.

General BVE/OpenBVE / Re: Current Queens bound 7

« on: November 07, 2011, 12:31:46 pm »

The Queens-bound (7) is one of, if not the oldest routes for the NYC Subway, dating back to at least 2000. Also, it was created for BVE1, which severely limited the amount of objects one could place on a route. Forgive the inaccuracies for this route as well as the other legacy routes.

To my knowledge, no one's making the Queens-bound version, but, as has been previously stated, the Manhattan-bound version is under development. No, we don't know when it will be released so please don't ask.

If I may make a suggestion, perhaps developers could PM people here who they know are good BETA testers to see if they could give said developers feedback on their routes, trains, etc. instead of publicly announcing that they're offering BETA tests on the open forums. That way, developers actually get feedback on what's wrong and it's not just a ploy to get content early. It also has the added benefit of not clogging up the forums with the same "can I beta test?" questions ad nauseum.

That's not all that rare or weird. Some (2)s and (5)s terminate or originate at New Lots Av or Crown Hts-Utica Av respectively because of spacial constraints on the Nostrand Avenue portion of the line.

Alright, I finally finished the (N) line announcements. And for once, there's only one temporary announcement in the entire route (Canal_arr [RH]).

@ Lance, I would greatly appreciate it if you send me the updated latest versions (by PM so then this thread won't be cluttered up) so I can update the site accordingly since I've been basing those links off this thread the whole time. (Unless if they've been correct the whole time then great lol)

Those links are correct, so no need to worry about any 404s.

aww not astoria bound N train announcements

I have them, but you're going to have to wait until I have time to stitch them together. I'll try to have them sometime this week, but I won't make any promises.

Transit / Re: R142A Testing on the (7)

They can't test an 11-car set until the new R188 insert car arrives sometime late next year.

Only a small handful of R142As are being converted.

I wouldn't call 350 R142A conversions a "small handful". Just sayin'.

General BVE/OpenBVE / Re: NYC Subway Routes For BVE 5

« on: September 24, 2011, 05:47:40 pm »

As far as I know, there aren't any BVE5 routes in development here and probably won't be for some time since the majority of the objects used are in b3d format, which isn't read properly in the new train simulator.

By the way, there are never any release dates for any routes or trains since they just create frustration for not only the developers, but also the ones anticipating a new route or train at the posted date. That date usually comes and goes without a release and people start pestering the developers, which annoys everyone. Remember, people have lives outside of this train simulator and nobody makes any money off of this. Stand by, be patient and don't expect anything by a certain point of time. The routes and trains will be released as soon as possible.

As with the R68 and R160 cabs, this one is also quite magnificent. Can't wait for the release.

Transit / Re: What is the Next Subway Train On The Elimination List?

« on: September 16, 2011, 01:21:25 pm »

I don't think the (B) needs 24/7 service. The (A), (D) and (Q) are plenty good by themselves during the overnight hours. Now, what they could do is have the (B) run to 145 St evenings at its current midday schedule and limited service (every 15-20 minutes) on weekends for riders who want Sixth Avenue service from Brighton and vice-versa. Of course, this is just an idea I'm throwing out there and I'm well aware of the agency's financial constraints. Please don't point that out.

the B did run on the Broadway line for a while during the late 80s..there's a reason why they didn't keep it like that lol

It's the same reason the (W) was truncated to Whitehall St in 2004. After the north tracks of the Manhattan Bridge reopened, riders wanted their Sixth Avenue service back, not Broadway.

@Smooth23: Use the links below. A few weeks ago, I merged the two folders together since the (Q) uses the same announcements (well the destination ones anyway), regardless of the time.
