(D): Currently a version truncated to Bay 50th Street has been released by JayJay85. Section between Bay 50th Street and Coney Island now roughed out as of August 2014 and will be completed by Mr Railfan and Dj Hammers, will be released concurrent with the updated (Q).

(E): Currently under development by Emari, having taken over from TrainFanInfinity.

(F): Comprehensive F line package with scenarios was released by Mr Railfan several months ago. An updated version with more detail will be worked on in the future.

(G): Southbound version has been released by ipac. Version to Church Avenue will be developed in the future. Northbound version is under development by TrainFanInfinity

(J)/(Z): BETA has been released on OpenBVE Connection. Full detail version currently under development by JayJay85, Mr Railfan, and Dj Hammers. Will be finished after the completion of the full (Q), (D), (B), (N), and southbound (R) lines.

(L): Re-done version of the line 8th Avenue-14 Street bound was under development, but is halted at this time. Will be worked on in the future.

(M): Was under development by Phantom909, now by Mr Railfan and Dj Hammers. Section between Metropolitan Avenue and Myrtle Avenue is now 60% finished - major detailing work remains. The Chrystie Street Connection will be created and the line will be connected to the northbound (V), which will have detail added. Will probably be released after the updated (J)/(Z).

(N):Southbound 75% finished by JayJay85 by March 2014. Remainder of work is being finished by Mr Railfan and Dj Hammers, will be released concurrent with the updated (Q). Northbound under development by ARome, currently halted to focus on development of the the southbound (R).
 
(Q): Coney Island Bound currently under development by Mr Railfan and Dj Hammers. Development is ongoing but delayed due to school and work. Both a 2006 version and a 2016 version is under development. Will include multiple scenarios such as reroutes and short turns. Will be released along with the full (D), (B), (N), and southbound (R) lines. A WIP version of the route can be tried at the Transit Museum on weekends.

(R): Brooklyn bound version was actively being developed by ARome, and will be released with the (Q), (D), and (B) lines. Forest Hills bound was under development by ipac, now under development by ARome as well. Northbound is on hold to focus on the southbound routes.

(W): Southbound version will be updated following the release of the (Q), (D), (B), and southbound (R) lines. Northbound version is not under development at this time, but may be worked on following the release of the northbound (R).

IRT:
(1): Currently under development by the staff of OpenBVE Connection. Undergoing heavy detailing work.

(2): Flatbush Avenue-Chambers Street under development by BStyles concurrent with the (3), (4), and (5). Chambers Street-Wakefield currently under development by the staff of OpenBVE Connection. Undergoing detailing work.

Should be out either simultaneously or right after the 7 local


To add a bit, The 7th Avenue Line will most likely be completed way before the lex. I have someone helping me with the 1 and it is chugging along nicely. The 3 will follow suit after the underground portion of the 1 is done, which may be before summer. Progress will be kept a secret now, I'll post some shots soon.

May I ask what direction the (3),(5),(6) routes are being developed in please?
I remember back then the (5) was being worked on as a shuttle and also there was a (5) route but it was lost(Manhattan bound)
and the (6) I remember a Manhattan bound was being developed but wasn't there a Bronx bound also?
And the (3) which way is it going? Although we have a preview of the (3) from Franklin to 42nd N/B.

Theres going to be 2 versions.A classic via West End (D) line probably to Coney-Stillwell or Bay Pkwy and the today's service via Brighton since the (Q) I think is nearly done.Either way the (B) will be copied or vice-versa.It will share obj with the (Q) from DeKalb to Brighton Beach and the (D) from basically its entire route it'll just be a local version.

Hello, developers and players. I will be working on the (M) shuttle from Myrtle Avenue-Broadway to Metropolitan Avenue-Middle Village. This will be my first route but I will attempt to make it 5th generation with photorealistic rails, trains, catwalk, and the Fresh Pond Road yard. I will go out to take the pictures for the objects today. I may make an R160 if I have time before going to Brooklyn Tech in September. If not use Mr. Railfan's 160.

An M is already being done... sure you can make it if you want, but it might not be able to be put up here.  Maybe if you want you can get in touch with the M developer (idk who it is) and see if you can help him out.

No you won't. The (M) is already under development.

The Forrest-Hills bound (M) is under development. I didn't know the Middle Village bound (M) being developed. By the way, it can be my personal route or a private route for a few friends. I don't plan to get it posted on the website for download but that would be nice. I only want to make the shuttle to get a taste of developing. I was only informing the community, not trying to take over someone else's job.

Ok how many times are you gonna repeat what the person said above your post ok the M is being worked on.
@Nelson no one is stopping you its your route it can be fictional,non-fictional or semi-real.

Post by: Rayvon on July 25, 2011, 02:43:31 pm
anybody is free to make whatever they want, it would be nice if there was some originality though. A Middle-Village bound M is fine but you should think of something low-scale first if it's your first time.

Exactly, nobody has any other ideas other than doing "subway routes" or more specifically NYCT subway routes, fictional or not.  Again you are free to create it on your own, but we really need something new here.

Development was started on an Amtrak route...but I think that project was halted.  I'd really like to see metro north for bve- anybody agree? ???

Not to my knowledge no. Like previously stated, most development here centers around the subway system and its trains.

The M-7 is no longer available but some people in the community have it along with the M-3(no longer available also) . 8) but there is several Railroad equipment(trains) if someone does create a railroad route whether its fictional,semi or real.

Just a suggestion, it probably wont happen because of the difficulty of route making. There should be some variety of the houses and not the same one every block. I know it's hard but it gives the route a nice quality and it pleases many other people not just me. By the way, will this route feature those OB NYCT signals?

I would like to see repeating houses as well. Gives off a more authentic driving experience. However, Jay likes to do things in parts, so that'll probably come in a later release (along with the signals).

I think you misunderstood what I said. I said variety for example a burger king on one block then a starbucks on the next etc. and not just a burger king everywhere

Post by: SubwayTrainOperator5 on August 02, 2011, 03:17:19 am
Nelson3001 is right...it SHOULD have variety in the buildings, since there is always a lot of different buildings on the side of the elevated track in real life.

Can't wait for the release of that (D) Line BTW  ;D

Yeah my fault. And the buildings should reflect on its real life counterparts too. If there's a series of projects (ie. Bay50th), then I would expect to see projects and not brownhouses. If there's a gas station, then there should be some sort of gas station there. Same goes with McDonalds ect. I'm not expecting you to go out and literally take unique textures for every block along the el (or Google Maps Street View), but it should resemble what goes on in surrounding areas. Also, it would also be nice to see some very small things too, such as tombstones in cemeteries (so it doesn't look like one big park), and maybe highway signs (like what is featured on the (7) ext). It's those little things that make a difference.

Another thing is backdrops. Along the Bronx Els, you can clearly see that there are hills surrounding the els. It would be nice to see those hills. Plus, it wouldn't be very hard to do because all it would require is an internet connection and Google Maps Street View (after you get permission of course).

Major major infrastructures as well, such as the Ferris Wheel (as was included on the (F)) in Coney Island and the Queensboro Bridge, Yankee Stadium on the (4), and subway yards as well (I already know E180 is going to be a b to do) along with other things.

I understand that this may require some extra work, but it really does make that big of a difference.

Post by: Rayvon on August 04, 2011, 04:09:21 pm
not to sound like a douche, but gas stations and mc donalds are just taking it a bit too far, I'm all for the visual experience of the route and stuff but I can't spend like 3 weeks on a single gas station object that I'll only use like once. If anybody else wants to take the leap and try then go for it, you'll do all of us developers a huge favor.

And I've already started implementing random houses. My hand is back to normal so I'll get back to pushing out a 8 BETA so you can see how it's done.

I didn't mean things that complicated but a gas station is a good idea and someone should make it. It can be reskinable to the different brands of gas.
By the way, i just had this great idea, one or maybe two developers should concentrate on making TJay quality objects (lol what else can i call them) and TJay should concentrate 100% on object making if he wants to(i'm not forcing anyone to do anything, i'm just speaking hypothethically).
Last thing I have to say, I have a great picture of a track. It's two rails(including third) in gravel. Inbox me anybody who knows how to convert it into in-game rails
Title: Re: Status of Routes as of July 2011
Post by: Simon on August 04, 2011, 10:03:23 pm
I'm not saying that you should make a unique object for every single McDonalds or gas station you see, use one and recycle it. The same McDonalds featured on the (Y) could be used on the (7) and on the (N) as well as every other route that features a McDonalds somewhere along its run.

You should have maybe one or two default project blocks, brownhouse blocks, business store blocks, ect., but alternate and recycle them. Their placement should be prototypical too. In an area where predominantly tall apartment buildings remain, there shouldn't be small brownhouses. That kind of thing. Plus, they should utilize HD textures.

Plus, instead of stretching the blocks one block from the east and west side of the el, it should be two, or there should be some sort of more realistic backdrop. Don't know if this hurts frames, but it would definitely make a difference.

my point is that the objects aren't made yet for a reason, those things are hard to make. Then you want them in HD quality and Ronald Mc Donald waving at the train. Like I said, if anybody wants to make those objects then be my guest and good luck, but I'm not going to jump off a cliff over a Sunoco and a Mc Donalds

I especially hope to see a Nassau Street (J), (Z) line soon...

What happened to the (Z) that was near completion?

If ya talkin' 'bout the one not on BVEStation,its not very realistic, if the Valley Stream Ex is the case, well, i really like
that but it's not the full line (to broadway junction, Marcy ave, williamsburg bridge, etc) but i really like it though, either
way, whatever a part (J)-(Z) gets released, I'll download them but if the full (J)-(Z) get completed, then, if I'm crazy,
i will run down myrtle ave naked!!!

First of all if you know your history the E, J, and Z was supposed to be extended into Valley Stream due to the Great Depressions most of these routes are unfinished. Also please do keep in mind that the only person I know on record that makes an excellent skeleton of realistic routes is Phantom909. Thats too much workload for one guy so most likely these routes will come out possibly year or 2 from now. I plan to get help for the Myrtle Avenue connection to Metroplitan and we can soon have the full M line.

Once its released you can the skelton will be open to anyone who wants to detail it regarding they add their name to the existing route file and keep the original owners name there.

In collaboration with BStyles and Lexington 456, I am trying to have a meeting to see if we can complete the Lexington Avenue lines in both directions.

Back on topic. The (M) will be put on delay cause I will be making skeletons for the 145th Street bound (B) and the Pelham Bay Park bound (6) express. I will make no updates and the lines will be sent to the submissions. You will know when its done when you see the release post.

Still makes your statement invalid. We are in October. But as said sit tight nd be patient.

Just to let everyone knoe there are a lot of routes you dont know about in development.

Besides new routes, 3 new trainsets maybe released of the course of 2011-2012, if God spares our lives. I think if we are eager to learn hw to do and help the community out here we should get lessons on how to code that way we can get some dveloping going. So look out for a post and if you want to learn you can follow the instructions. Thats just my thought.

The Southbound (6) via the (4) is currently constructed to Borough Hall

The Northbound <6> is currently constructed up to Parkchester.
The Northbound (6) is constructed up to 3rd Avenue-138 St.


The Northbound (B)(D) to 145 St is suspended until further notice I constructed up to Broadway-Lafayette St.

The (3) to Times Square I have taken the track work from Franklin and joined a skeleton from Crown Heights. The (2) to Wakefield-241 St is constructed up to 96th St. This will also open the gateway for the (5) via the 7 Avenue Express. The (1) to Van Cortlandt Park is constructed up to Rector Street. These are partial skeletons. It will be sent to Rayvon for further review.

The (M) to Forest Hills is still delayed due toblack of knowledge of the Chrystie Cut.

The 4 will resume development next year, with a new skeleton which extends from New Lots. This should help pave the way for the development of the 3, and other IRT lines.

Will there be possibly 3 other versions of the (M)?
Brown (M) to Chambers?
Orange (M) Queens to Queens (already established)
Shuttle (M)?
and (M) to Bay Parkway?

Yep, The M to Bay Parkway is still a long way from being done, but it is Planned. There will be more then 3 Versions of the M with various reroutes and short turns once the line is ready for release.

It probably could be done but then it would be odd operating the 6 to the loop and then changing ends would be operating the route in reverse(wrong-railing every station).
Theres actually a single track/line route like that. I would suppose as written the 6 will be from Bronx to BB-north platform. Then a N/B version from N/B BB platform to the Bronx instead of looping which will save space.

or make an invisible track that parallels the northbound

Actually we will build the 6 line as one continuous route starting at Pelham Bay Park, going around the loop, and back up to Pelham Bay Park. However, the line is currently only built up as far as Brooklyn Bridge on the northbound track. We may end up releasing this, and then later go back and finish it back up to Pelham Bay Park to allow us to work on other projects.

So just to be clear, the (6) that goes only up to Brooklyn Bridge is 70% done, or is the entire continuous route (Pelham to BB back to Pelham) 70% done?

The section from Pelham Bay around the loop to Brooklyn Bridge is 70% done. The section from Brooklyn Bridge back up to Pelham Bay doesn't even have track and tunnels laid, let alone detail.

Thats cool! Personally I would prefer the (6) from Bronx to how it is terminating at the N/B platform of Brooklyn Bridge. I'm against the full looping route PBP to PBP because space the amount of objects but then again it's the developers call on this. Don't get me wrong it would be crazy beyond insane but how well the community's computer handles will be a huge part if the full thing come. But none the less Pelham and Parkchester originating service is gonna be insane!

Looping back up to the Bronx shouldn't be too much of a problem because the same objects used for the southbound part of the route are re-used for the northbound part of the route. There shouldn't be an effect on FPS, the only thing it would do is slightly increase the loading time of the route.

is there going to be an alternate route, where the 6 terminates at the brooklyn bridge layup tracks

Well, currently There are 2 versions of the 6 , One via Pelham local via Lex local to Brooklyn Bridge, then around the loop to the Northbound track, and the other via Pelham Express. It shouldn't be too hard to make one that enters the layups, although i rarely see those layups in use.

Ah, I see. I can't wait for the route to be done then!

When the Downtown version is 100% finished, then why not release it? When it is time for the full route to come out, it will be a smaller download since most users would have downloaded needed objects already

That's the plan. We just haven't been actively working on it as DJ Hammers and I are focusing all of our attention onto the Q line. After the Q is out, we'll resume work on the 6.

Does anybody know (in the future) anything (it seems to have been "left out") as far as the A train being "updated" to current standards/details/etc? The old one out was/is considered "BETA" and a few things look/are..."off" lack of words to put it. I only ask because if the new D line, for example, looks (4th or 5th gen is it?) then the A can share those same high-detailed objects (of course, where the D & A share tracks). The rest of the line would just need its own independent "updating"/detailing (do mind I am only saying updating and not referring to the completion of the 2 Rockaway shuttle extensions; I already read the status about that. I figure "updating" is more "repainting" and not "building", sort of speak). Just thought I'd pitch in this question in case someone has overlooked it. Meanwhile, I'm excited about these routes (particularly the 5 and 2 train, with at least 1 End to End route) coming out! I've been waiting patiently since I've been in HS! (5+years ago haha) I would definitely love to see the 6 loop around. I mean come on, the beauty and history of City Hall cannot just be left away! Right? Hehe  ;D  :D

P.S. Something confusing on here: "Yada Yada of 2014" but Page 1 is stuff from 2011 (example) and after many pages, the only last  2 pages or so are 2014 like in this thread. The info jumps 2011-2012 but mainly stays course on 2011. The pages seem to be okay in chronological order but for those looking into it might get confused reading things about the routes, not noticing the grey, faded earlier 2011 time-stamps and hence outdated information. Maybe have monthly route status posts in their own threads? Just saying, doesn't bother me or anything but may throw off others trying to find the certain/same information (and/or don't catch on that there is a time gap).

 Cheers guys! Keep up the greatness!  8)  ;D

Look at the bottom of the post. Even though the original post was made in 2011, it has been edited multiple times throughout the years in order to update information. The information you see there is actually the most current route status.

I am fine myself this was a heads-up from other people I know who were telling me it was confusing, and even though I managed to get it, it was, just for a spur of the moment, so merely made a suggestion. :) Hopefully those who read your post YankeesPwnMets will now know so thank you! On other note, I would still appreciate it if someone gave me a heads up on the main core of what I mentioned before! Thanks!

The Q line is being worked on. If you want to try it in its testing stages, visit the transit museum on saturdays in August from 2pm-4pm. We will be exhibiting it then. There is no extra charge above the general admission price.
