Freddie - get your downloading trousers on...

I've just uploaded V1.0 of the Brush 1937 Tram!

Still not perfect but a MILLION MILES better than the V0.1 BETA one!

Steve,

I do like that Tram, it's sort of bus like..........only joking.... Ouch Seriously it does look the part, do you think it possible within the capabilities of the sim to do one with all the lights on it (like the rocket) mind you the .eng file would go on for ever Nice job.

I have been thinking about this - my initial thoughts would be to do the exterior as AlphaBright+ and put the lights into the texture - then what you'd need is probably to have a sphere of light thrown around the tram (a copy of the one that throws the light forwards onto the track but pointing downwards perhaps) - this would give the effect of the whole thing lit up like a christmas tree so to speak.

[DaveR]

Steve,

If that works I think it would look really great, I did try to get the sphere of light to point downwards on the De-icing unit, it would not work, in fact it would only seem to work going forward, it may well be something I was doing wrong, so if you manage to do it I will be interested in the secret

New tram route on Trainsim.com, looks like it is based on Blackpool, I think it's really good, and I thank the author for a good route.

Sh*t - serves me right for reading my email before the forums - I just posted something similar

[DaveR]

Not to worry Steve, after driving again on this route this morning it deserves the publicity.

If anybody is interested in trams then I can recommend this route, 13 miles long

Thanks for the comments. The blackpool area is just a 2 mile stretch of the route with 3 stops - completely fictional. (If any one has had troubles loading the route, copy the ENVFILES folder from JAPAN1.)

Thanks

Hi Ryan,

I like the route, as you say the Blackpool part is just a 2 mile stretch, but the whole route has the right feel for a tram route, I think you have done really well, it's great driving down the roads with the traffic going past
nice one, thanks.
