(RELEASED) Official Development thread for the R46 for OpenBVE

[Fox-179]

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.

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.

Cool and thats what I stated about the package(R-46) is routes with the arching implemented.

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:

One more question Can you control the button on the side

[Fox-179]

Great observation!
Also are there heaters under the seats?(don't have to prove it by a pic) if not that would be a suggestion

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

Also, I agree with DJ Hammers, about the window frame thing, the doors could possibly be improved a little bit too.

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)

Will the reverser be animated? Also, I know this is a bit of a stretch, but will the door enablers be animated in some fashion?

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)

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.

With the 3d poles/trucks and all does it require a powerful computer? from your point of view, im not looking for specs just do you think it MIGHT run on a computer made in the past year?

[Dj Hammers]

im not looking for specs

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.

[Dj Hammers]

judging from the experiences of others testing the train with similar specs, I would expect you to have around 15 FPS on most routes.

[Dr. Subway18]

lol def not, i can run your R38 on the D at 31 fps seriously. oh i mis read, so you mean with the R46? i be the trucks are going to murder this computer
