nice, just a couple of quick observations for you:
1. At 8mph the motor sound actually jumps down a step so it isn't a continuous curve in pitch
2. The motor sounds like it starts a bit too soon too

This sounds better than the first one and sounds like real life lol :D Also, quick question. Will this R46 include an exterior and newer panel?

Thanks guys!

Jayjay I have an exterior from you but it is really old, if you have a new one then I'll gladly take it thanks

lol if i pull this off perfectly, you basically got your redbird,38,40,46 and 62 motors right there :P another bve revolution thanks to me

i'll see if i can go out and get some nicer recordings during winter break especially the noises of the 46 trucks and make it all nice and realistic the recordings im using now are over 5 years old

the R46 will include the same panel as before with some adjustments; if anyone is willing to get me a photorealistic cab they are more than welcome to.

UPDATE: My laptop has been fixed (driver problems), forgot to update this thread lol but I have sent out the R46 to beta testers for their feedback (you guys know who you are)..after that and some final work and I'm hoping to have the 46 out by June.

The exterior view is also going along very nicely, you'll be quite impressed I'll tell you that much (you'll need a fast computer though :P

I like it the speeds are very realistic sound improvements.But 1 thing is the squealing that shouldn't kick in till the train is near 7mph going for a complete stop.You got it kicking in around 17-20mph.Other than that its very good.

thanks <4>, i'll take those comments into mind.

for those who did not get the beta-test, I have made a video for you to see...the R46 operating on the Franklin Ave Shuttle (yes its the same one i posted on nyctf)

The R46 for OpenBVE version 2.0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgWwvAde13U#)

As for additional beta-testing, sorry,i will not be handing out additional copies of the beta-test as I already have enough, thank you however for your interest.

OpenBVE R-46 v2 speed test(59th to 42nd) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPnwbDkzaNk#)
I noticed the squealing kicks in a bit higher than 20mph more around 26-32mph.

Post by: Andres on May 25, 2011, 10:33:42 am
I Tested That R46 And This Is What I Have To Say.

Acceleration Sound Very Accurate

Switch Point Sounds (When it passes over switches) Very Accurate At Different Speeds

The Squeal When Braking Maybe Put It At 10MPH or Less When Braking

The Motor I Love It.

And The Doors Have The Good *Ding* When Closing.

And The Pressure Gauge And Speedometer Very Accurate.

I Give Your Train 10/10 Error46146 Nice job on that train.  :D :D

I'm sorry but that post was rather short-sighted when I said it'd be out by June (hence why I never make promises like this)

I actually haven't done any BVE work all month due to other activities that are much more important than BVE. To be honest I probably won't be doing much over the summer either, so again sorry if i got your hopes up.

I will keep you updated of course when I do make progress on the train.

This train has been released!

Hey guys I have been working on this exterior secretly for almost a year now and I am pretty confident that it will definitely be released and won't be another one of those  "failed" projects. It's almost done and I'm working with Error's R46 V2 train. There's some finishing touches that I gotta do on the exterior such as the animated rollsigns and LCD Display signs.

What better way to show something than a video?

R46 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqYrGcA3-n4#ws)

Everything you see here is pretty much the most up to date version I have so it may or may not be in the final product. If you have suggestions, comments, concerns feel free to post. Thank you!

P.S. I'm new to developing so please go easy on me!

Looks amazing! My only thing to say is for the front of the car, have the face model with headlights, you had a perfect template already around the end of the video.

Title: Re: (RELEASED) Official Development thread for the R46 for OpenBVE
Post by: Simon on September 27, 2011, 04:38:39 pm
Beautiful model, absolutely stunning! This is the definition of perfection and I can tell you put a lot of effort into it! One thing that worries me are the poly rates. This thing looks so good, that it might pose a hazard to people with lower quality computers.

You nailed everything on the model including the 3D poles. I think they only other NYCTA train to feature this is the R153 and that was a fictional train.

However, the bogeys look a bit off. The animated wheels and the turning axles look great, but you should fill up the empty space you see when the train is faced directly in front of you, because you can barely see the underbody at that angle on any NYCTA train.

The textures seem a bit dull though. The interior doesn't look as sharp or defined, but then again, most interior models aren't because of the way the simulator stretches things. That's something to look into if you can. JayJay's 46 renders look more defined, but I'm no expert, and it could be the video quality.

Last thing is the windows. The 62 in production utilizes some sort of window. I don't know if its through special effects or something, but it definitely stands out. Maybe you can collaborate on the windows. The front of the train looks really awkward without windows. Nothing biggie, just that it stands out. Could be a good thing or bad thing  ;).

Great job! I am looking forward to a future Rikabs production!  ;D

The only thing that bothers me about that exterior is the undercarriage, if you could fill in all those huge gaps with photos, that would be great. Also, try to reduce the gap between the cars, the coupler space is a bit too big IMO. But it's probably just my imagination though...
Title: Re: (RELEASED) Official Development thread for the R46 for OpenBVE
Post by: Dj Hammers on September 27, 2011, 06:32:00 pm
That is simply amazing work! However, there are a few things that need some work:

1: The cab door on your model is inaccurate, it looks like this: (http://images.nycsubway.org/i80000/img_80266.jpg)
It is hard to see in the picture, but the entire window isn't actually opaque black. There is a smaller tinted rectangular window that is transparent inside that black window.

2: All the the cars in the train are labeled as car number 6022. You should make each car have it's own car number as in real life (remember that each 4 car set of R46s has car numbers in sequential order)

3: You should texture the inside of the cab, it looks weird seeing what would be the front of the train when looking through the cab window.

4: I also agree with other comments posted here, you should work a bit more on the connection between the trucks and carbody.

5: The doors should have those rubber edges modeled on them, that way it is more realistic when the doors are opened; you wouldn't be able to look into the gap between the inner and outer carbody walls that way.

6: The interior textures could use a bit of work, they are a bit blurry and I have this feeling that the color is slightly off.


But besides those things, I am absolutely astounded, that really is amazing work!

Nope, it's fine the way it is. It just looks really wide because all of those wires that are there as safety barriers aren't there, so it gives off an optical illusion. In reality, that's how wide the cars are between each other.

He did not make a cab. He is just making the exterior; it will go on Error46146's R46 V2. If you do not know how the cab of that R46 looks like, it is identical to the cab of the R46 on the downloads.

Topic moved to the Official NYCTA Development Center.

Stellar work on the exterior. I'm thinking that it could use some minor improvements (not better textures per se, but better lighting) but nothing too excessive that will detract from the work you did. Keep it up!

Post by: Rikabs on September 27, 2011, 10:18:45 pm
Okay guys I'm going to start addressing the suggestions people have made with potential solutions. Feel free to respond back.

As for the trucks, yes they look very empty in the middle (as Simon said) but it is because:

1. Detailing the actual motor components would be large in number of polys decreasing the performance drastically. Here is a picture of the middle of the truck.
Another reason is because I am not expert in modelling that type of complexity. ;-)

(http://images.nycsubway.org/i95000/img_95155.jpg)

2. In real life you can't see those components anyways. Why? Because it's hidden in the shadows. Look at any real pictures of the R46 facing directly towards the front end and you can see the middle the truck is pitchblack.
Most modern train simulators with high-end graphics have real-time dynamic lighting which creates a realistic shadow effect.

Here's an example:

(http://cdn.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/65230/ss_d43b7ecf938a2412e513e883cad0d7b79eb0d00f.1920x1080.jpg?t=1314667904)

As you can see the middle of the trucks are darkened and you can barely make out what's there. Even the tracks are blended with the shadow from the train. Unfortunately I don't think Openbve does this which makes the trucks look unrealistic.

This is a sacrifice I made for making 3D trucks in Openbve.

I attached a screenshot to clear up any misinterpretations from the video.

Post by: Dj Hammers on September 27, 2011, 10:24:27 pm
In that case i'd say just some sort of textured box placed inside the trucks would do just fine, just to get rid of that huge space in the truck area

You could at least put a picture of the front of the truck to cover up the gap, to at least hide the axle from being seen when looking straight at the front of the train...OR, like DJ Hammers said, just a box with 2D textures of motor components placed inside the truck to not have to build 3D polygons of the components, but still make it look fairly realistic.

The textures I used in the video were slightly lower in  resolution to help reduce the lag I get when recording the video with Fraps. Here is what it looks like originally.

(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9540/objectviewer20110927224.jpg)[/URL]

As for the trucks I might try lowering the body so that it's closer with the trucks first. If it still doesn't look right then we'll try the methods people suggest.
Title: Re: (RELEASED) Official Development thread for the R46 for OpenBVE
Post by: Dj Hammers on September 27, 2011, 11:32:23 pm
WOW that interior is so much better looking with the full res textures on it. AMAZING!

I would lower the R46 until the floor is exactly level with the platforms (in reality the floor of the subway car is never below the level of the platform). After getting it level with the platform i doubt there is much more that can be done in the height department....

You should make a vid showing the train and its trucks going around some sharp curves like around 9th avenue on the D Line, so we could really see those pivoting trucks that you obviously worked so very hard on work.

BTW are you going the make the center strip of lights and PA speakers jut out slightly from the ceiling like in real life?

Post by: SubwayTrainOperator5 on September 28, 2011, 12:14:13 am
Also, as I said in the comment I posted on your video, try making the ambient light more yellow. In my opinion, the ambient light is a bit too white, instead of yellow like in real life. But overall, this exterior is a masterpiece. :)

I'm amazed! Beautiful piece of work! Although you make yourself sound like a beginner, what you whipped up is already no beginner's feat! :))

Only suggestion I can make out of the little time I have is to create a rough, black outline of the guts in the bogie so it won't be empty (my best suggestion and take in this situation). Also, make sure you create its pivoting axle too! Some black cylinder would do. After all, we wouldn't want to see floating trucks!  ;D

Post by: Simon on September 28, 2011, 04:25:53 pm
The train looks absolutely amazing. The textures are great and they should be kept that way! The only thing that I would change is the texture in the picture where the emergency exit doors are located. It looks significantly blurry. If you're having trouble with textures, I'm sure JayJay could lend you his.

Excellent work I have ever seen.

As for the gap that you see, why don't you code in something such as a black box? Create an object and throw that in there.

Everything else is excellent I don't think there should be any other changes because for the plain fact, most of us operate in the cab.

I'd have to agree with Imanuel on that one. It is pointless to beta test something close to perfect. ;-)
But in all seriousness yeah there is no point in beta-testing an exterior. If there is something that needs to be fixed I will give updates like what SIR North Shore does with his R142.

We're basically waiting for the rollsigns and LCD Display in terms of the exterior with the help of Andrew. I think there's some stuff left to do on Error's part of the project as well so it's not just up to me.

Post by: Rikabs on October 02, 2011, 09:57:02 pm
My vision was to make the most aesthetically pleasing train ever created in the BVE world that one would be dazzled by the perfect combination of pixels ever created on their monitor.

Well this vision came true but came with a price and that is performance hit. At the start of developing my R46 exterior I knew little about polygons vs performance ratio. I knew that if you increase polygons, you will be decreasing the frames per second count and that is pretty much it.

So what I did was use my laptop as a test bench since it is relatively modern (2010-2011 era). Meaning if it is unplayable on my PC no way will it be playable on everyone else's. It turned out to be unplayable at first but I reduced quite a few polygons and it became playable.

Now I know what you're thinking. "If his PC, being relatively modern and all, can play it but what about us with older PC's?" Well your computer might suffer more but please go back to my vision. It wouldn't be possible in achieving my vision without sacrifices - and that is performance hit.

If you look at it my way is this. If I were to release something that is capable of a 2008 PC we would be stuck in the past. But I strive for the future.

RiKlabs, I could build a PC made of parts all from 2008 or before and it would be able to run ANYTHING on this website at 1080P and 30FPS

It isn't about when the PC was bought, its about the specs of the PC. There are still PLENTY of computers I see a Best Buy and STaples that are still selling Celerons and integrated graphics.... thats not up-to-date tech at all

I'm pretty sure you can but I am willing to bet money that the parts you will be using to build that 2008 PC would be average to high-end during that time. I can also bet you that the Celerons they still sell at Best Buy will outperform any Celerons released in 2008. C'mon you're comparing apples to oranges which isn't fair.

Let him take his time. Patience is fundamental. Also, he doesn't have to release a test train.

Final thing: This train would be unplayable for some users, it would kill FPS for a lot of users, and for a few of us, it wouldn't even make our system sweat. I think Riklabs should be a bit more selective on who he might want to BETA test this train, because it is a waste of his time to send BETA copies to people who can't even use the train

Okay here are some small updates I did over the past few weeks.

1. Added animated rollsigns and LCD displays with the help of Andrew. A video of it changing would soon follow later on.

2. Added the black rectangular box within the truck frame.

You can see the animated rollsign in use here. Notice that it's not the generic "A" anymore.

3. Fixed the entirely opaque window/door on the cab end of the car.

(http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2184/objectviewer20111024182.jpg)

4. Added circuit-breaker textures in the cab replacing the monotone colored texture.

(http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/2184/objectviewer20111024182.jpg)

5. Adjusted the varying color/darkness of the side textures.

Adding good looking headlights would be a nice bonus! Something similar to the class323 on the X City South would look good. Something not too out of the ordinary, and more like a signal corona.

The train looks amazing and I seriously cannot find another fault with it! Spot on!  :)

Post by: Gong Gahou on October 24, 2011, 08:52:38 pm
It's looking great! Keep up the good work. :)

There's one more thing you need to do in your truck before it's deemed accurate and precise: remove the tripcock on the left side of the R46 truck. Only IRT trucks have the tripcock on that side. IND/BMT trucks have it on the other side.
(http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/7032/truckf.png)

Another thing you should note. Since DJ Hammers said that your trucks will be used in his trains, there's three changes you need to make.

1) Tripcocks: they need to be changed to match IRT standards (as mentioned before)
2) Springs - they are yellow on the IRT. You could also get brown springs - steel dust accumulates over time.
3) The entire yellow wooden beam needs a different texture. The wooden beams on the IRT are higher than the IRT/BMT ones, but the contact shoe level stays the same. There will be something under the wooden beam connecting the contact shoe to it, as circled here:
(http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/6088/truck2.png)

Those are the three main (and the most obvious) differences between the IRT trucks and the IND/BMT trucks.

I think I might just revive my project. You are starting to motivate me to create something like this.  :)

So from that picture what you circled is the tripcock that I need to remove?

As for DJHammer's R38 trucks I would keep those pointers in mind for the future when I actually start the work on it.

Don't worry about anything related to my projects right now it would be better for the R46 to be released sooner than to spend time adapting it for my trains. Once the R46 is out I'd like to deal with all the other stuff.

Of course. Like Rikabs said, they are pointers - just a few things that I wanted you both to keep in mind whenever you both are ready to create a truck for the R33. In no way did I mention anything about creating a new truck for the R33 at this point in time.

correct, but if the train reverses, it has the tripcock on the wrong side. So, in my opinion, it should be on both sides

Another thing you should note. Since DJ Hammers said that your trucks will be used in his trains, there's three changes you need to make.

1) Tripcocks: they need to be changed to match IRT standards (as mentioned before)
2) Springs - they are yellow on the IRT. You could also get brown springs - steel dust accumulates over time.
3) The entire yellow wooden beam needs a different texture. The wooden beams on the IRT are higher than the IRT/BMT ones, but the contact shoe level stays the same. There will be something under the wooden beam connecting the contact shoe to it, as circled here:
(http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/6088/truck2.png)

Those are the three main (and the most obvious) differences between the IRT trucks and the IND/BMT trucks.

I think I might just revive my project. You are starting to motivate me to create something like this.  :)

Thats beautiful! I have many questions to ask about this train.
DjHamemers already asked one.
Will lighting be controlled(interior)?
Can there be spark effects added when the train goes over the switch?
These are just general questions because the London Underground Stock 1995 stock has those features with the sparks and lighting and also door indicator lighting up

I will try to have everything ready by the end of January. Rikabs is almost done with the exterior, and I will try to finish up the sounds ASAP. This has now taken priority over the R32 on my to-do list since it is so close to completion.

The cab will remain the same for now (sorry if you anyone thought otherwise) as I do not have any cab photos of the R46. I have however made a couple of tweaks to it (put in enabler, improved handling, etc) to update it to the way the R46's are now.

Third rail arcing (sparks) as far as I understand is embedded into the route, not the train..please feel free to inform me however if you know a way to put it in the train.

Door indicator light will definitely be there .. I will try to make the enablers work as well. Interior lighting cannot be controlled as there is no way (that I know) of doing this- however you can change the rollsign/side LCD sign though.

The great thing about the exterior view is that it rocks and sways just like a real R46 would too.. I'll put up a video soon for you guys

Oh, good! You see that there is a contradiction. You are right, it will be on the wrong side, but I made no mistake about the fact that there's only one tripcock on each truck. So what does that mean? It means that, especially at terminals, there will be two sets of trip stops (the yellow T-shaped levers) for each track, and they will both cover the left and the right side of the track. That way, you'd avoid having two tripcocks on each truck, because that would mean two extra trip cocks for each car, which is unnecessary.

Hey guys, sorry about my hiatus from the BVE community. I've been busy with school and stuff. Anyways just wanted to let you know that the project is going along great with the model pretty much done. (The tripcock discrepancy mentioned by Gong Gahou has been corrected.)
I just need to add the icing on the cake which includes the door indicator lights and headlights. I will first start working on the headlights but first I need some help. Do you guys know where I can get these light images similar to the one shown below? If there is a website that has a collection of these for OpenBVE use it would be nice.

(http://www.simforums.com/forums/uploads/20070823_224753_halo.png)

These images would make the glow effect on the headlights/taillights instead of a normal boring light source.
Title: Re: (RELEASED) Official Development thread for the R46 for OpenBVE
Post by: Dj Hammers on January 03, 2012, 02:38:45 pm
To create a glow effect, create a PNG texture that uses alpha channels to provide an opacity feature. Look at the door indicator for the R38 cab, it uses this.

Modifying an R44 cab into an R46 cab is much easier said than done, because there are lots of big differences. But if anyone will be willing to give it a shot, I have to wish you luck for this one.

This looks very nice but I have 2 suggestions:

1.  Why not put some ads in the interior?  IIRC R46's have the ads in front of the overhead lights but I don't see them in your interior
2.  As R46's go under SMS, they are getting black floors and NTT-style blue seats.  Will there be an post-SMS version as well?

To get the idea of post-SMS trains (not my video (http://telewizor.eu/video.html)) Inside R46 (A) Train With Blue Seats:From 190 Street to Dyckman Street-200 Street! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM005zWEFJ8#)

Post by: Simon on January 03, 2012, 11:53:16 pm
Good suggestions. I would love to see a SMS-ed model as well (maybe in a future release).

By the way, is there a way to color in the top inside the cab? You can see a portion of the roof, maybe color the underside the yellowish color that corresponds with the cab? Using alpha channels to simulate the glass effect would be cool too.

As for the interior lighting, check out the LU1995 and the other LU train. The trains featured a setting to turn on and off the lights.

It would be nice to have a photorealistic cab for this train to truly perfect it. What happened to that guy who was also working on the 46 but then disappeared. He had a nice cab. Maybe if you could contact him and see if you guys could work something out.

Once again great job Rikabs. This thing looks sexy as hell and I can't wait to drive it.

The ads are normally placed right ON the lights, so it would not be that hard. JayJay85's exterior has ads in those places

A very small detail, but I think that the action of the brake shoes on the wheels should be animated as well.

This can be done by creating a small brake shoe object (I can get a texture) and animating it by setting  it to translate along the X and Y axis to make contact with the wheel if brake cylinder pressure is slightly above 0 (to take brake cylinder friction action in to effect).

The roof ads will be done eventually. I still need to go out and get more ad 'textures' anyway lol..

I know about that part of the cab (i was hoping you guys wouldn't see that lmao), that will be taken care of eventually.

As for photorealistic cab, I have no cab photos..if you guys have any, I would definitely appreciate it. As said before converting an R44 cab into an R46 cab wouldn't be an easy job, especially the controller since the R44 and R46 have totally different controllers.

Making an SMS version wouldn't be too hard, it's just simply changing the colors of the seats. I can do that after the initial release if you guys want.

Right now I get about 5fps with the exterior view on a dual-core AMD laptop with 4GB ram and an ATI 3200 card..if we included animated brake shoes god knows how low the FPS would be lol

It's very odd that FPS is that low. The .animated file should be looked at more closely,
it seems as if some of the functions used for animation may be more complicated and computationally intensive than need be.

At 640x480 and you are still stuttering, it's probably a performance demanding train.

No problem for my PC here. If some features are causing lag, perhaps you can make a low quality version which is aimed at performance and a high quality version which is aimed for a higher end computer.

Yes, when I was on vacation, the laptop available to me had an ATI Mobility Radeon (I forgot which model), 4GB of RAM, and an Intel Core i3 I believe, and it always ran OpenBVE at 60 FPS, 50-60 FPS (Maximum) when recording with Fraps. (I recorded my (D) line and Franklin Avenue Shuttle videos on that laptop) I am also pretty sure that laptop was much better than necessary for that kind of framerate, OpenBVE is just a very easy game to get running properly on almost any computer. You do not need an Intel Core i7.

I'll take pics from the best angle possible so that you don't have to edit the textures at all and it'll be a piece of cake, especially a close up of the LCD Roll sign thing that says Luminator on it that changes the side roll signs and the switches and i'll take those with an 8 Megapixel camera and there's so much more to explain.

Regarding performance, just to give you guys a comparison, the most high-poly modeled train on BVEStation right now is Pacific385's R175 which comes with a total of about 17,000 polys. Mine comes with about 30,000. The reason why mine is so high is because when converting the model to .b3d, Google Sketchup triangulates faces which basically means a single square quadrilateral planar surface becomes two triangles.

FIXED
Title: Re: (RELEASED) Official Development thread for the R46 for OpenBVE
Post by: Gong Gahou on January 06, 2012, 03:44:17 pm
Does that only apply to square faces though? I was wondering if it applies to other four-sided polygons. Also, do you plan to reconnect the triangulated faces in the .b3d file?

It applies to all faces, squares was just an example. A pentagon would be divided into three faces, a hexagon into five and so on. As far as reconnecting the triangulated faces it would be just take so much time. There are like 28000 lines in the .b3d file. So far I have only managed to do simple four sided faces like seats.

Would a Geforce GT420, Intel Core i7, and 8 GB of RAM also be good? Because those are my current specs, and the R175 is already a bit choppy for me, so now I am a bit worried.

GT420 Should be good but on high quality routes it may lag so your video card is bottlenecking your cpu. I play openbve on 600m V Sync on with custom settings to make it even more high via nvidia control panel

Heres a video it skips a tiny bit since it's still fully loading but after that it's smooth
 recorded with fraps though of course with fraps it does lag a little plus im using the highest available settings so i dont lag with out fraps.

A GT 420 would severely bottleneck your system.

I'd suggest a GTX 560ti, but at least get a GTX 460

well ive done this in MSTS for the nyc rolling stock. If the train turns and they leave a gap make them so they are built on a curve so they overlay, that way when the train turns its maximum it still wont have a gap and on straignt track it still goes good. it looks kind of dumb prob to you expert train developers but it actually works. And knowing how to make 3d poles you could make the rope springs 3D but thats if people can wait for the best.

Do remember most of our users really don't have a good CPU and by adding more 3D elements may cause the train to be not operable in openBVE I think we can do without that for now.

Looks GREAT and interior lighting was already a feature implemented on the LUL 1995 stock that train basically has the complete package.
It loses power(meaning brief moment of coasting) while under power when its a gap.
Interior lighting is controlled along with dest signs(separately)
Along with end/front lights and (not functional) when the doors open the exterior door indicator lights are on.

I hope the R-46 features these I noticed the interior door lights are on/off-GREAT
Controlled lighting/dest signs.
The only thing thats missing from the package is routes with features that the London Underground routes have such as arching(sparking) and 3rd rail power loss.

That R-46 looks beautiful though not important but may I suggest/recommend(doesn't have to be done by you it can be voluntary by anyone) but black floors SMS and a few blue seats and possibly with that version a Blue Diamond(Pitkin) cars compared to the original one below which(Jamaica)

It already has all of those when i received it to add those touches from my end. The arching as far as i know, is something that is encoded into the route and not the train. For the tripcock, there is already a provision for an animated tripcock engagement, but i do not know if error or rikabs will make use of it.

Yes, this train has the Oskari plugin.

First off, AMAZING work! This train just keeps getting better and better. Hats off to the developers for this!

The only visible thing that I think can be improved is the window framing. On the real R46, the window frames are indented outwards (as a glass pane ~4 inches thick would be quite unreasonable).
Here is a picture that shows the indented window:

Yes, there are heaters there, they can be seen in the picture DJ Hammers posted.

Too add on if the enablers does get animated may the horn and wipers switch be animated also.
Enablers,horn(pushed in/out)
Reverser,wipers(switched-l/r u/d)

Yes, there are heaters there, they can be seen in the picture DJ Hammers posted.
Thanks but I couldn't see them in the pics posted by NYZ3R0DAY and looking again I still can't(I hope you didn't think I was referring to Hammers photo about the window frame suggestion)

Then yes, this exterior does have the heaters, if you look at some of the first few screenshots by Rikabs you can just see them a little bit:

The textures I used in the video were slightly lower in  resolution to help reduce the lag I get when recording the video with Fraps. Here is what it looks like originally.

As for the trucks I might try lowering the body so that it's closer with the trucks first. If it still doesn't look right then we'll try the methods people suggest.

Well your question is very broad. Some computers made in the last year would run it at a perfect 60FPS, others may have trouble running flash games. You will have to be more specific to receive a quality answer.

My outtake on the window problem:

Yeah, the indenting should be included. It would not only get rid of the huge gap between the window frames, but would make it more visually appealing as well. You can make it so that the windows are thin by masking it with the indent. If you don't know what I just said, just refer to the picture. Would add a few extra faces, but it'll look better.

However, I don't see an easy solution with the doors though, because there isn't an effective way to mask the gap without detracting from the visual experience. The door looks nice along with the texture, it's just that the gap is REALLY noticeable. If you leave the gap in there, I wouldn't mind cause the train looks crazy.

By the way, the sticker on the cab door looks like a vandal tried to rip it off or something. If that was the effect that you intended to portray then it looks nice lol.
______

As for the animation process, are you guys going to make it so that it's similar to the 38. One key to switch the front rollsign/Letter on the LCD screen and another for the destinations. That's probably the most efficient way to do it in my opinion.

Every looks great so far!

I have the same laptop (but with a Phenom II N930 Quad and 6GB RAM) and I have trouble running the R175, which has a ton of polygons. This looks just as demanding, if not more so based off of my observations, the train will really destroy FPS on new routes like the D and F. With the older gen. A, C, D, B, etc you might get 15 or 20FPS.

A big red flag pops up when PC specs include words like "Mobility" or "ATI" or "Radeon" or "Video Memory Up To...", and exclude graphic card specs.  Meaning CPU and RAM cycles are scavenged for video.  Bad news!  Without a dedicated graphics card, a PC will likely never get over 20 or 25 FPS, no matter how much RAM or HZ.  These systems work for MS-Office, browsing, and email, but suck when watching a DVD or BluRay, or for high intensity graphic applications and games.

PCs are available $500 to $1000 with dedicated graphic cards, both desktops and notebooks, that are much more capable.  Shop around, educate yourself, don't buy the typical PC displayed and hyped at your local big box store; they are really junk with the cheapest processors, no graphic card, and "home" versions of Windows.  "Ex used car salesmen, now PC salesmen" push the junk for a reason; low cost, high profit and commisions;  it's their gain when you (or your parents) are down $1000+ and stuck with a PC that doesn't perform.

Sounds like we got an nVidia fanboy here  :P

But in all seriousness, there is no problem with AMD Radeon GPUs. Mobile graphics are weaker yes, but they can still perform. A 4250 can't.

Another tip: Take a look around sites like Newegg. I saw a laptop that was sold out on Friday, but it had a i7, GT 525M, 8GB RAM and a 750GB HDD for $850 since it was on sale. Look around enough for a new computer and eventually you are going to find a computer that is several hundred bucks off. In my example, the XPS 15 on  Newegg was $270 off...

Those blue/purple lights mean that the T/O and/or storm door is UNLOCKED theres a set of those lights on the end of the R44/46's.
So that (E) train operator's storm door is unlocked but it doesn't mean its open.Theres nothing wrong.Those lights have nothing to do with the door openings or closings when the lights go red.

If  I'm thinking about the same lights as you are (ones on the side of the car), it lights up when the doors are unlocked or open and it doesn't light, it's closed and locked.

Blue Lights at the end of the car.
On=Cab or storm door UNLOCKED

Orange/Yellow/Amber Lights on the center of the subway car.
On=Dead Motor
Off=Motor is not dead(which is good)

it's because the way i re-encoded the video as i edit all my videos on iMovie. All my FRAPS recordings are re-encoded into .mp4 to use in iMovie.

Also, for some reason, the latest version of OpenBVE makes all my videos ridiculously louder..

should give you enough FPS to use the R46 (hopefully). The lack of detail might be able to allow you to run the train smoothly. However, let me stress that the first generation routes have absolutely nothing except track, simple textures and platforms. There isn't even a third rail on the tracks. However, if you want to run the train, this probably will be your only option other then getting a new laptop/desktop

Sorry but you are slightly incorrect.  My laptop runs Intel's HD Graphics whenever I use OpenBVE and it runs fine.

Though when I start up a better enhanced game, my secondary card starts up and takes Intel HD's place.  I don't know why it doesn't do that for OpenBVE but I'm fine with the performance.

Post by: YankeesPwnMets on February 23, 2012, 09:02:24 pm
openBVE isn't really a demanding game, and also not all games support nVidia Optimus (the process which switches GPUs) or whatever AMD calls their switching process.

@peacemaker: In addition, this train is guaranteed to take up a ton of FPS. You might be able to run a route smoothly with Intel HD Graphics, but to run a train like this with integrated GPUs, I don't really think that Intel GPUs will handle it.

Optimus is a real bitch sometimes, so it doesn't always turn on even if a demanding game is on. The nVidia card on my laptop doesn't turn on when I start GTA IV....
Just to note: Before you do any of this, take the D line, v2.0, and then use the R175 and go to exterior view. This probably will slow openBVE to a crawl because the integrated graphics are too slow for a demanding route and a demanding train.  Record the FPS down and close openBVE. Then, do the steps below, go back to openBVE, use the D line and R175. In exterior views, the FPS should improve dramatically, signalling that the nVidia card activated.

If any of you have an laptop with a nVidia GPU, hopefully this will also help you improve FPS in game.

Steps to bypass Optimus in openBVE:

Download latest drivers:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us)
When done, right click the desktop and click on nVidia Control Panel.
On the Side, click on Manage 3D Settings.
Click on Program Settings
Click Add and then select your openBVE exe
Where it says "Select preferred card", select
"High-performance NVIDIA processor"
Click Apply.

The R46 or OpenBVE, it doesn't matter.  All in all, he should be able to run the program at the very least with the R46.  Currently my laptop setup only has one problem which is changing from the cab view to exterior view on the R38 and ONLY the R38.  Every other file has been working flawlessly with Optimus turned on; including the R175/6.  Maybe it's just my setup.

@Yankees, currently I can careless if Optimus is on or not.  I sold my rig and pursued the laptop to help me in my job field.  Playing games on computers or consoles has died down for me, the toll of getting older and having stacks of responsibilities on me.

It was mentioned before, but it has big drawbacks, because it would look weird when the train is turning or going up or down slopes.

Hi all,

I have been getting lots of e-mails about the "R46 exterior".. I just want to clarify that I am NOT releasing this newer version of the R46 exterior yet, if you ask me for it I will send you the old exterior view made by JayJay over a year ago. Don't get mad that what I sent you isn't what you see here in these photos. This version of the exterior view is not to be released until the train is completed and ready for the public.

Thank you, and carry on.

Let's settle this here. That is not possible for OpenBVE at the moment. When it is, then we will implement it.

Actually, brightness commands ARE supported by BVE4, and so is the Oskari plugin, but I do not think the Panel2.cfg is though.

Actually Panel2.cfg is supported by BVE4. However, the R46 uses so many little OpenBVE-only features in its panel that porting it to BVE4 would entail pretty much redo'ing the entire panel.

Actually you're wrong on this one. The R44 and R46 both have full rollsign sets, which includes the J, L, M and Z readings. They also have a program for the mentioned lines. Although they won't use them for the BMT Eastern division, they have the program there.

Adding on to this, the R46s have the Eastern Division bullets on the front rollsigns because all of the R4X cars uses (or has used) the same rollsigns. Sometime in the past, probably when the bullets were changed in the 70s/80s, the TA ordered the same rollsigns, regardless of whether the train could run on a particular line.

Even though i have not been on the forum for months now, i must say Rikabs, you are doing a superb job.

I just want to give thanks to all the people who develop routes and trains for Openbve/Bve2/Bve4 because they really dont have to, they could be hanging out with there friends, but instead there working for the general public at no cost.

I think this is something alot of people on this forum (not all people) Forget when people develop trains and routes

Anyways, keep up the good work mate  ;)

Nice to see the rollsigns roll to the very beginning after it reaches the end. It's like having an endless amount of the same mylar prints!

My only suggestion to the rollsign is to add one or more white panels to the beginning and the end of the sequence.

The exterior is absolutely fantastic. Well done.  :)

Just a question...Would it be possible to apply a shadow effect underneath the train so that it looks more realistic? Such as, a dark translucent block coded into the undercarriage area. After closely looking at the screenshots I realized that the components of the undercarriage are perfect, but it looks unrealistic because of the lack of a shadow.

Is it in order to change the route destination we have to type in 1234, and the route code key we want; almost like in real life where you are getting the line up, where you have to punch in certain number in order to tell the tower control where this train is heading 2?

I'm not sure what you mean but punching for the lineup is completely different than setting the Luminator electronic sign on the train. When you change the sign you have to press Dest A/B, then put in the passcode (212) and press Enter. Then put in the route code and press Enter again.

That is unfortunately a software limitation, the trains and routes are in their own separate entities and therefore one cannot change the other; you will always have to manually go back to the home screen if you want to start a new route.

For now anyway...

Amazing work guys!
I have a few questions concerning sounds:
Will the train squeak realistically when they are going a certain speed?(preferable when the R-46's sway the most*10-35mph*)
Regarding when the R-46's hit 35MPH+ they are being pushed and they start to vibrate a lot will that come into play?

I think that can be done by having the quality of the track being very poor and then coding it to use a different flange sound other than the default one. By making the secondary flange sound a squeaking sound, you should get what you need, but the idea also requires specialized route coding.

Hey guys I have been working on this exterior secretly for almost a year now and I am pretty confident that it will definitely be released and won't be another one of those  "failed" projects. It's almost done and I'm working with Error's R46 V2 train. There's some finishing touches that I gotta do on the exterior such as the animated rollsigns and LCD Display signs.

Hey guys I have been working on this exterior secretly for almost a year now and I am pretty confident that it will definitely be released and won't be another one of those  "failed" projects. It's almost done and I'm working with Error's R46 V2 train. There's some finishing touches that I gotta do on the exterior such as the animated rollsigns and LCD Display signs.

The developers do not have the time to be distributing preliminary releases, just wait for the train to come out (which should be very soon).


In other news, here is a video I just made now that showcases the R46 and the F Line v4.5:

Is this the original download or the patched version that error uploaded later? the original download had a flaw that caused that error, and bill uploaded a patched version that fixed the errors.

I hate that message, because i still haven't found the "error log" file to find out what is actually wrong.

The error log is usually in this directory unless you have userdata on the install folder.

Alternatively, if you have the latest openBVE by odakyufan, you can now access your userdata in your openBVE folder, shortening your directory by a whole lot (shown by red box).

It's going to be hard/strange reading the log straight from Notepad. I mean, it's possible to read the errors on there, but I suggest copying everything on there and pasting it in Microsoft Word to see the errors better.

First, try reinstalling the R46. There have been some bugfixes done since the initial release.

That is some great work right there, I would suggest that it would be integrated into the main project.

So take them. I just thought that from a real human perspective the ball at the end of the controller is vertical and when turned does not act like the original one. So I just did my magic with MS Paint and got this end result.

I downloaded the R46 and everything runs fine. The interior, the route. Everything is smooth. The only problem I get is when I get try to press F2,F3,F4 for an exterior view, OPENBVE freezes and then crashes. I have the latest OPENBVE. Is there something else I need to download?

Mind if you go to the start menu, search up Event Viewer, click on Custom Viewers, the Administrative View. Look for the top entries relating to openBVE and tell me the Event ID of those event(s)

B. When you click on the two errors, click on the General Tab on the bottom and copy the details for both events

Interesting. I actually have a slightly different problem then yours, but I just realized that for some reason the exterior refuses to load with the F  line, yet loads fine with most other routes. Have you tried loading the exterior with different routes?

If the cab works fine, it is that your computer can not handle the exterior or interior. error is going to release a less-poly one soon.

Why then did you dont ask for my permision anyway?.... The only ones who give permision are the Brazillian ones of OpenBVE Modernizaçoes.

Where are the motorman credits And why my name isn't on Motorman credits ?
