Bridgehampton Metro - UK Light Rail / Modern Tramway in Progress

[paulzmay]

Thanks - I should say that it's for TS2010 fully patched, and is designed for native mode. What I don't know is how many assets I've used are still not fixed on the DLS, nor whether I've used items from TS2010 that are not available to TS12 users.

I guess it should load in fully patched '09, but there will be almost no trees, as I've used speedtree for most of them.

Now that the tram overhead mesh library is on the DLS, I will get on with uploading the actual poles. I will also get on with uploading v1 of my road markings and road kits. These will be expanded at a later date, but I want to get this route out soon, as it's been virtually complete for ages now...

I will also beta test for you

 

[hotgrove]

great shots.

I love the detail in your roadwork......particularly at busy junctions

Hey Paul, sorry for hi-jacking your thread, but I knew you would see this

What do you think of my wiring??






Since you are so skilled at this I'm wondering if you could give me some feedback, constructive or positive

It looks good - the only issue is that the contact wire and support wires should actually be at different heights, with fittings (line hangers, pull-offs and the like) connecting the two. The shape of your wire is great - I assume that there are a few poles and extra wires to go in.

Probably worth visiting some cities with light rail in Google Earth. Melbourne's overhead is a bit old-style - most Western European cities have more modern infrastructure. Have a look at Crodon, Nottingham, Manchester and Sheffield in the UK, and Strasbourg and a host of other cities in France.

Paul......what would i search for on DLS to obtain the little square road studs that are used to mark out pedestrian crossings.

My layouts are overcrowded with zebra crossings.

You wouldn't - I haven't released them yet. The are part of my Road marking kit, that I'm slowly getting ready to finish in preparation for releasing Bridgehampton Metro South 2. I've got bogged down in endless variations of the hatched stripe markings that are used to guide traffic around traffic islands.

OK Paul....no problem.....i'll make do with other road markings i have and reduce the number of zebra crosings i use.

i paticulary like this shot because of the city sky line(and pizza hut).

 

[Red_Rattler]

Paulzmay, have you found a suitable low poly more realistic concrete block rail than (pardon the expression) the built in concrete block rail track?

 

[paulzmay]

Not yet. Jaleel's is low poly, Mike10's is high poly, and there's a nice metre gauge one built-in. I took some pictures yesterday of something that might suit, so I may build one myself. Eventually.

NormP, will the updated Surfside be for TS2010, or for above only

Sorry to be off topic in your thread Paulzmay, but I think NormP made a post in here about his Surfside Tram layout.

NormP, will your updated Surfside be for TS2010 or for TS12 plus only?

Also, I experiemented with the bitumen for the roads/highways, and found that AJS Street Kit texture (I think that's the name) looks better than the present texture.

PS: Do you know how long it takes to look for texture in TRS2004, because it doesn't have the names included in the F2 paint box tab.

As I may have said before, I've added some tram stops, some as trackmarks (for private use), as their was an area with lots of residents, but no tram stop for quite a distance.

Okay not to be entirely off topic, again for private use, and if it doesn't prove too much strain, I may add a small depot.

 

[NormP]

Red.

It is being worked on TS2010 and tested progressivly on TS12 as well.
Long way to go as I can't find out the actual Track direction from the Western end of Queen St to Uni Drive.
Proposed track layout shows it going right through built up industrial area buildings,Makes NO sense at all.

As I've finally got round to uploading both my road marking kit, and my road kit (in the DLS system now), I should have released all of the content needed for Bridgehampton Metro South 2. This means I can ask for beta testers without the usual "soon™" caveat.

As I said before, it's for TS2010 fully patched, and should work in native mode. What I need to know is how much faulty or hard to find content I've used, and whether I need to issue instructions on how to fix it, how to find it, or replace it completely. As far as I know, the only remaining non-DLS content should be Neoklai's animated people - I think I've got rid of everything else.

Paul

p.s. It will be at least tomorrow, or possibly the weekend before I have it packaged up to send out...

 

[NormP]

Paul I think I have most of your road marking kit and don't have any with errors.and only one marked (on CMP)as modified (maybe I did it, not sure) it is "Road Marking Tram" 50114.category-era-20 was deleted.

Norm.

 

[paulzmay]

I'm pretty confident all my own content is ok. I'm more concerned if I've used other faulty content, and fixed it locally...

Paulzmay: Content Manager not finding anything after September 2011

OH NO! Not again! (A cryinig smiley(1) is not big enough on here!)

Paulzmay, the content manager has done it to me again.
This time the content manager doesn't find anything of yours after 30th Sep 2011. Your over 100 + items from the today (3rd November) do not show & the last it gives when using location DOWNLOAD STATION & your USERNAME only gives nothing after early July 2011.

Edit: Paul, I've just tried various searches, using one of your KUIDS, with one of your titles, with other people's items and the exact same result comes up in that their is nothing to display. I go to searching for download station items only and it comes back with latest items found from September 2011, even though I have downloaded items well after that date.

1. Hmm, a crying smiley - isn't that an oxymoron?!
