Updating the NYCT Subway

[heaven7]

I will be updating the nyct subway by adding signals.I will use jeffmorris 2007 layout.I will add signals and trains.I want to add people but i don't know how to do that.Pics to come soon!!!!!

I thought about adding support for "animated" passengers to my NYCTA subway cars and stations but the real NYCTA subway system has about 475 stations and adding support for "animated" passengers to 475 stations could turn the world's fastest computer into the world's slowest computer.

just add them to the major station like the flushing main street and express and local stops.

I know.I'm just adding people,signals and trains.The popular nyct stops will have people.Every last stop station will have people also.The stops in the Bronx that are popular._______________________________________
#1 train(242nd St,231 st,225th St)

#2/5 trains(Wakefiled,Dyre,Nerid,Gun Hill Rd,Pelham Pkwy,Morris Pk,E180th st,W farms Sq E tremont ave,Simpson st,Intervale Ave,3Ave 149th St,149th/GC,)


#4,B,D trains(Woodlwan,Mosholu Pkwy,Norwood,Fordham,183rd St,Burnside,Tremont,167th St,Yankee Stadium)

But how do i add people?

 

[NYCboy]

what do you mean? do you mean add "bussines passenger" so they can ride the train

 

[heaven7]

Yea so people can get on and off the train at the stops

 

[BStyles]

You could use invisible platforms. Magicland made a bunch of them for his subway construction set. People appear, and crowd up if a train doesn't come.

Yea so people can get on and off the train at the stops

on the building section search "subway station" from the subway comstruction set.then on the "line section"(were you addd roads) serach "subway platform" move that near the subway station and it will take that form

 

[heaven7]

ok.So far there are signals between Van cortland and Dyckman St

 

[heaven7]

I've added people at van Cortland Pk 242nd St station on the 1 line and then when i picked driver no one got on.

 

[heaven7]

I've added more signals.Between Wakefiled 241 St-E180th St.And from E180th St - Dyre Ave

Not bad.... May I suggest.... When you start going underground, use Magicland's Subway kit. It is supposed to be a template for those wanting to build a NYC style subway. You have a choice between:

Stations:

2 track standard
2 track island
2 track terminal
4 track
4 track terminal

Tunnels:

1 track(to connect to stations)
2 track
3 track(I think)
and 4 track

There are some track splines to make the connections to the subway stations and to make better curves. You can then also insert two spline points and connect the track at one point to the one further down on the oppsite track direction.

Heaven7: Good luck!

You're projects are giving me great ideas on route building in TC and TRS.

Sorry for double posting.... Heaven7,

To allow passengers to get on board the train, you must fix the height so their feet touch the platform. You can use Shift(uses intervals of 5) and Ctrl(uses Intervals of 10) to change the height. You also need to connect the tracks to the spline points in the invisible stations. This isn't to hard. It can be a bit confusing though.


Cheers!

[heaven7]

Thanks Isaacg but all I'm doing are adding signals,trains,portals and people.

People only board trains at passenger enabled stations. Putting people on platforms does not make a station passenger enabled. You need to use the invisible station and connect them to the tracks for this to work.
