(RELEASED) Status of the (D) and (F) Routes.
« on: June 19, 2012, 02:53:17 am »
These Lines have been updated and can now be found on the download section here: http://www.bvestation.com/downloads.php


Ok guys wanted to post a status update on the two routes:

The (D):
Whats finnished:

-is currently fully updated with Timers

-Brightness feature (darkness in tunnel) and updated announcements.

-NTT announcements have been installed for the full route from 205 to CI.

Whats Left:

- Fully get rid of glitches and update station textures
- replace outdated / old static train objects with new or moving objects
- Add route scenarios to the NTT version [like reroutes or short turns]
-Update and finnish the stretch between Bay 50 ST and CI
- Add AI speed limits
- Convert Audio files to .flac format to save space
-Add in an express Concourse route

The (F)
Whats Finished:

-Fully upgraded with timers
-Brightness command added
-Updated Static trains
- Full overhaul of NTT announcements and replacement with HD audio
- Various Scenarios have been added
-Fix all Known glitches
-Speed limits added to AI trains [no more over running timers]
-AI trains reflect what time you are running the train (EX:
More AI trains and shorter headways during the rush hour route , long headways on late night and weekend route)
-Local on Queens Blvd after Roosevelt ave (thanks to BRR)

Whats Left:

-Add in Beacon command so compatible trains go into emergency if you run a timer.
-Add more route scenarios and
-add weather elements to route scenarios
-Fully upgrade all station textures
-Replace static buildings with more identical ones found while running the route
-Local via 53st
-Local via queens Blvd local after 21st QuensBridge / Queens Plaza.

I will soon post screen shoots of the route , along with a preview video. I believe the F will be released before the D as im spending more time updating the F route.

The F [Version 4.5] should be released some time this month if all goes well.

F [version 5] will be released this summer with updated Buildings and station textures , and the D will follow after.



Also on a side note I have also updated the (A) with timers from 207 to lefferts . It will be released once the updated a to Rock Park / Far rockaway is released.



Also does anyone know if there are any timers between 169 and 179?

Last time I saw, I don't think there are any timers. But the next time I go by there, I'll let you know ;)

Just a little suggestion. I notice that routes here always have clean catwalks (yellow thing next to track). Their real life counterparts always have some rust or dirt on them. If you'd like I can get a texture for you guys.

In anticipation to the release of the R46, I am adding in some more scenarios to the F and getting rid of some bug fixes. Version 4.51 should be released later today or tomorrow.

Just wondering, will the final product feature Tjay's new objects, or will you just keep the old ones? And I do agree with Nelson, I think photorealistic catwalks would be a great idea.

version 4.51 [this is not the final version, just an updated version i want to put out as the new r46 was released] will not have tjays objects put in except signals and various signals i modified for realism (timers etc.) . I will try my best to update the catwalk and other elements of the track and update all stations with HD textures. I would also like to update the bay parkway cemetery so its not just a plain in the route, and update coney island so it looks a bit more realistic. Im also planing to add in more building from the neighborhoods surrounding the F so its a bit more realistic.

Again i would not release anything until i have updated everything to satisfaction but since the release of the r46 i wanted to push out what i finished.


Right now im fixing a few bugs i encountered.

Wonderful job Mr.Railfan, if this F is released according to plan, ima probably have to put back openbve on my computer lol. Good luck on the rest of the route Emil :D Also I just wanted to share my last bit of advice for the F before this release; the lights in the tunnel between 21st Queensbridge and Roosevelt Av.(before the local tracks merge/rise) have changed from yellow lights to new white lights. I ride the F everyday coming home from school so I cant wait for this updated line. Congrats Mr.Railfan for your hard work and dedication. If i may add, will you throw in your new R160 with the download?
