OpenBVE at the Transit Museum - Major Announcement

(1/4) > >>

Dj Hammers:
We've got some really exciting news for you guys!


Mr Railfan and I have been hard at work in the last couple of months getting in contact with the NY Transit Museum to showcase OpenBVE.

Now, we are pleased to announce that people will be able to play NYC Subway routes in OpenBVE at the transit museum on Saturdays this summer, starting this Saturday, July 5th!
Note that the event starts at 2pm and runs until 4pm, it does not start the same time the museum opens.

We've got a couple treats in store for those who come. Notably, a preview version of the updated Q line to Coney Island will be available to try out.

If you're available, we encourage you to support the NY Transit Museum and make the trip to go and try it out! As always, please remember to be courteous; there will likely be young children itching to try OpenBVE for the first time. Just like the Railfan Window, kids first!

Additionally, please consider donating to the NY Transit Museum so that they can continue to provide great opportunities such as this!

Mr Railfan:
Additionally, Later on in the summer, the N to 86 Street, the full R to Forest Hills and the full D to Coney Island will be debuted at the Museum as well.









Hope you all enjoy!

How's the setup going to be like? Using computers to run the sim, or an actual cab interface, like the one they use in London?

For now the computers in the TM's computer lab will be used.

However we are working with the TM to get something like London's 1995 stock cab mockup display up and running in the future.

8) now THAT is something worth making a trip down to the TM for. They already have that R42 style cab in place. It would be nice to be able to convert that into one of the OpenBVE cab mockups.
