If someone can send me a driver in the correct format for TSM, I'll put it in the model. But I can not make it myself, that would never be any good.:wink:
Nothing beats MSTS!!:D:D:D
Before I had MSTS, BVE was my favorite, but MSTS is much better.
In BVE you can only drive routes one-way, you can't turn switches, no passengerview, only a cabview.
Two days ago, I took a short trip to Amsterdam to buy a RailDriver (for those of you who don't know it: http://www.dcctrain.com/images/software_cabcontrol.jpg).
Today, I managed to make a version of the 1992 stock train that's compatible with the RailDriver.:wink:
--- old post above ---...
Today the lights where added to the train. I will post a new screenshot tomorrow.
As it is possible to switch between two destinations on the front display while driving (with Ctrl-NUM8), I have made consists for each of the three main routes on the Northern Line; Edgware - Morden, Kennington...

It took me all day, but I finally have a acceptable solution to the earlier transparency problems.
Next step will be to start building in the interiour.
Of course, it is still only the first motorcar. I will continue on the rest of the train when this one is finished...
Yes, I think I have found a good solution.
This is the problem; when you look trough the train (in the passenger part of the train), you can see the wall on the other site but not the doors. This gives a really strange effect when you look trough the train, especially in MSTS when you open...
Today I added the non-driver motorcoach in order to make a full consist.
I smoothed the edges and I added the destination display with animation.
You can now change the destination with Ctrl+NUM8 (choose between two destinations. I have now used Edgware and Morden).
The doors are animated...
Thank you for the compliment!
You want a 95 stock train? That can be arranged.
A few months ago I started building on one, but I did not get very far.
The last few hours I spend building a 95 stock car using the template I build earlier.
It has no interieur yet, but it does already have...
A 1938 stock train has already been prepared for the first official service to Edgware. I have placed some flowers up front and the destination nalready reads "Edgware".
Just 2 - 2,5 more weeks to go.
Today I created the Edgware station canopy. I am also satisfied with the stations between Edgware and Morden, although I probably still need to replace their canopy's.
I also still need a station building for Golders Green.:wink:
Piccadilly line tracks have been extended to just before Cockfosters, excluding the depot (which will be build in a few days).
Tomorrow I think I'll turn my attention to creating some of those still missing objects on the Northern line.:wink:
For now I have planned to create Barons Court - Cockfosters.
When that is complete, I will think about extending it in the direction Heathrow.
Surface building takes a lot more time then the tube-sections.:wink:
Indeed I do. But I think "Piccadilly, Northern and Waterloo & City lines" is a bit to long to fit in the route selection window of the MSTS 'drive a train' menu.
I need something short; just a few words.
I did think of simply calling it "London Underground", but as it contains only three lines...
This is how far the Piccadilly is now:
The Northernline, with the Waterloo & City line (and the Piccadilly 'in progress'), will be released this month.
As the route is starting to be an 3-in-1 route, perhaps a name change is in order?
Any suggestions?:D
