I'm sure that it would became a very challenging route, as the real ones had 66.7 permil gradient (equivalent to 6.67%) for its steepest gradient on the whole section from Yokokawa to Karuizawa.
True, it could be a lot of fun.

I personally think that the Odakyu Odawara Line was a great choice, as it allows a rather diverse fleet of rolling stock and services to be operated on just one single route, wich isn't a trascurable thing in simulators. Routes like the Yamanote Line might be iconic and interesting, but you don't have any variety of rolling stock or services (all trains stop at all stations), wich in the long run, might even make the route itself boring. Furthemore, for urban routes such as the Yamanote Line, the surroundings remains exactly the same: urban landscape.
The Odawara Line (as depicted in the game) instead starts at Shinjuku, in the busy city center, cuts trough endless suburbs and then trough the countryside of Kanagawa prefecture, and finally terminates at Hakone-Yumoto station, inbetween mountains.
Looking good there @ricardolucasandoval
Anyways now
Toshin at midday. Not really busy during this time. When it's peek hour, extra trains are used on the Toshin Circle line
Here are some more shots of my route. At Night. I added more buildings in Genjo in the Yagami ward. Added Tokyo Tower. (Genjo Skyline. )

Maybe I should give a rests to Flight Simulators so I can focus on development. :hehe:
Thank you for your feedback! I'm getting sorta addicted with Alex's 100.Nice progress on your route. I have aso multiple sims. Flightsim2020 is really beautiful but that is another topic.
Also about your 100, will there be a Short-Windowed version of the 100? Cause I plan on Reskinning it to the 200 H Sets.
But it's not finished here! There's still an extra variant of the 100 Series coming soon!
Got that already covered. Remember what i said on the 25th?
The "extra variant" coming is indeed the H-formation trains of the 200 Series for Tohoku Shinkansen Yamabiko Services.
Here's one cab car already almost complete. This isn't a simple reskin, as it includes also the smaller windows and the longer underskirt. I hope i'll be able to finish these by the end of the month (real-life interferences permitting).
For freight fans instead, here's something that i'm making in collaboration with TreinspotterJeffrey: the DE10 diesel locomotive (with further possibilities including the heavier DE11 and the shorter DD16, plus their snow-plough-hauling, third-sector and industrial railways variants). The base model is about complete, now i need to get working on the side grills and ventilation ports.
Those are awesome!
For the 200 Series, will the 0 Series nose versions be included?
Unfortunately no. The 200 Series E, F (some), G and K formations won't be included as they're radically different from the H formations, and would require entirely different models. I'd really like to have those in-game as well, as they're actually my favourite Shinkansen trains, but as of now they're far beyond my capabilities.
Anyone have content for my Fuji Kyuko route Kawaguchiko - Otsuki
