A new Trainz NYCTA/MTA edition

As someone passingly pointed out such a suggestion may not necessarily be worth it financially. There is nothing inherent that says that such a route is universally wanted or appreciated. After all it is perhaps too narrow a project for a global activity? I dare say umpteen other countries with worthy routes could claim the high ground too. I am not saying it is a negative route but it is too selective geographically to be a commercial basis.

its not a problem for me. my only issue is creating objects but everything else is down packed. the A and C lines is created fully all branches, and the Broadway, 6th avenue, west end, and sea beach lines are done.
 
well i'm working on the full nycta route and half the system is done
If you need beta testers for your new route, I would be able and willing.

Took a look at your YouTube videos. Great work! But it's too bad that TS has to have such a lousy game engine (the code) to make the action jerky. I doubt it's your computer; everyone has the same problems with Trainz (all the way up to and including TS2010)

Yeah jamal17, I make 2 new name lines: the Brown side, is called the Kate Melton Line, and on the Yellow side: the Hayley Kiyoko Line for the all-new World of Subways: New York City Subway Simulator computer game. Both we're the BMT Division.

jeffmorris has done several shell routes of the NYC Subway on the DLS as well as all his stations(not passenger enabled unfortunately) and track. Magicland has created Low-V, and R12-R62 NYC subway cars, which are superb if i may say so myself. he has also done the 'subway construction kit', and an 'elevated construction kit' is on it's way apparently.

please see www.protrainz.com for further info, as well as up and coming new releases.

Hate to burst your bubble, but he has left the community, any projects he was working on were not forwarded to anyone, so I don't expect anything to be released. As for his site, the homepage is pretty much the only thing still online, everything else of his (forum and store) is down...

cheers

When the World of Subways: MTA/NYC Subway Simulator going to released?
 
I believe that I'm the only person who created the entire NYCTA subway system. I want to create a new version of the entire NYCTA subway system for TS2010 but I'm 54 years old and have arthritis. I'm not a good artist.
Jeff so sorry to hear about that :(
I now understand why your subway cars arent HQ, it would be impossible to create every single subway car along with tracks and stations completely detailed, I for one am very impressed with your work cause you have done so much and I can use your items without lag or anything. Anyways just wanted to say I really appreciate your work and am very sorry to hear of this :(
 
Soon...

When the World of Subways: MTA/NYC Subway Simulator going to released?

Probably after the 3rd version (London Underground) comes out. I'm not sure if world of subways would do nycta subway since they did the path, but i'll keep hoping anyway. By the way, it wouldn't have metro-north part of the mta since that requires extremely large detail and is Not a subway system. I would recommend you get a bunch of people to vote for a new york city subway simulator, but even if you do win the vote, you'll probably have to wait another year. Patience.

How does auran feel about creating a full length NYCTA/MTA game. this game will only have NYCTA/MTA trains in this game just something for NYCTA/MTA lovers. everybody who creates NYCTA items can contribute to this game as a helping hand.
I can see this version now.
Trainz requires a special fare card just to access the program, you get charged for every time you run Trainz.
You would suffer recessions every so often requiring fare hikes.
You could have User Gatherings called Town Hall Meetings where you air your grievances then later it looks like you got ignored.
Meanwhile, new locomotives show up and you wonder how they were purchased when the MTA claims to have no money and cut new subway car purchases.
Due to subway car cuts, you are forced to rehabilitate older cars to reuse on existing lines.
I wonder who will play the part of politicians such as Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Cuomo calling for an end to the MTA corruption?

Um....we're still talking about Trainz, right?:D

Anyway, sue me, but I think Trainz NYCTA Edition is a bad idea. A simulator dedicated to just one portion of the world would not make much money, probably why Auran hasn't done it.

Yeah, I know you'll buy it, but there aren't 8 million subway buffs in New York. That's why we have dedicated content creators like myself, ExpressLine3Train, Magicland, Jeffmorris, Jaleel, and Ish6 who will try to replicate as much as they can in little things I like to call CDPs.

Hopes and dreams, hopes and dreams, I really don't care. It's all about revenue, and if it flunks there's not much the company can do about it but discontinue it. That's just my two cents on the matter.
 
NYCTA/MTA Themed Trainz

AWESOME IDEA!!!!!! I KNEW I WASN'T ALONE!!!!!!
 
If Auran won't do the simulator because it targets one audience, Microsoft would go ahead with the plans because the have 3 World Of Subways (Berlin, PATH, & Britian). Auran wants to think of the world, go ahead, but when World Of Subways gets it first, that's Auran's problem.
 
I also think that Auran should not make a special MTA edition. As Bstyles said, they would barely make any money off of it. I could see them probably putting the whole MTA as a route (minus many buildings, abandoned stations, etc.) like Modula City where everything runs auto with commands.

I think that this is an ideal thing for World of Subways. The closest they got was the PATH, and it is insane good. If they made it so you could signal which line you want to run on, choose your train, just more interactive than their past ones, World of Subways IV would be a ballgame.

And like Bstyles said again, there are many creating content, and instead of keeping it for themselves to enjoy, they distribute it freely among us, and I thank them for that. The R142 is insane and I can't wait for it to come out. The R143/R160 is truly something out of this world. I can see the R40S and R68 as future projects, and they look great in my head.

So to sum this up, I would say a route for the next Trainz, which would be featured as a payware for users with older versions, with Auran designed content, or as an interactive World of Subways.

Um Hello...it's called World of Subways...which means it targets any subway system in the world, and is not dedicated to route editing, as Trainz does. They share nothing in common except for the cab-based driving.

Bad products tend to make companies go under. Auran is doing an impressive job at staying afloat, but a single product can be enough to tip the iceberg. It's all about demand, and if no one has a demand for it, then there's no revenue, which means that valuable resources are being wasted. You guys really have to understand economics before you start throwing around ideas.
 
up til this day I still think the idea is a successful one, auran doesn't neseccary have to put one out but a full subway and railroad real life dedication to the MTA/NYCTA wouldn't be a bad idea especially for anyone who has a desire for the trains of the MTA.
 
can someone please close this because this is ganna get out of hand and i dont want certain people to get in trouble.
 
I agree this is very difficult to read. TrainzFreak101 I don't know why but I feel like you're a little too defensive about these things. Shouting down content creators who make pretty d*** good subway content is not a very wise thing. It should also be noted that while there is a faction of people who like subways, not half of Auran's target audience does (just look at the built in routes). As for MTA, having been on those routes, I don't think Auran should pursue that path. First of all, like someone said before, they're in AUSTRALIA, it's not like their backyard is Metro-North or LIRR, so I don't blame them for the realism of their content. Second of all, TrainzFreak how do you even know how old these people are? Calling people Seniors and saying things like "I will not be bullied by two seniors" will not help your cause and may even prevent you from getting what is probably the most realistic version of YOUR city's subway system... I'm sorry if I've offended you or anyone else, that's just my two cents (or is it sense?).
Eric :/
 
whats stopping them from making a game like that all the NYCTA cars are basically created except the R38, R42, R40M, R68, R142, r160
I'm creating the R38, R40S, R40M, R42, & R30 redbird, but don't expected on any forum or on the download station. I will give the website to people who want the cars
