Hi JayKay,

That sounds fab. Actually we kind of know each other Jay. I'm the Missions Developer on Aussiex.org (although haven't done any new missions for some time), I done a few OZx and Orbx based missions. I was a AVSIM Staff Reviewer too (like you I think?) although I've retired from that one! I was certainly thinking about setting up a website for my OMSI maps, as I can turn them out pretty quickly (Dannenburg took around 4 days and Ystad-Malmo will be ready in about 5 days)... so a high speed d/l capability would be fab. Cheers!

David R.

I knew you were familiar lol awesome stuff man! I am going to go to bed now but tomorrow morning I will set it all up for you and PM you with the details

Thanks so much mate, perfect!



Dave.

I am also looking at some basic photoshop edits of some of the standard roadsigns, to turn them into place name signs, so at least there will be a custom sign saying "welcome to Malmo" (in Swedish of course) etc.

If you would like help with any of the Swedish translations for the road signs or anything else I would be happy to help you, and also, as the simulator is german I believe it has support for the swedish characters å, ä and ö, are you planning to use the real names of the destinations in the game, like for example Malmö, Börringe and Sandåkra?

David,

I cannot PM you on these forums for some reason, give me your email address and I will send the info to you in there ok ?

Actually David, just email me at admin (at) aussiex.org and I will reply with the details for you

Will do mate, cheers!

D.

Update:

- Changed the Line numbers from X1 and X2, to 100 and 200, due to too many issues with using X numbers (mainly in the IBIS2 'route' area).
- Full tracks, trips and timetables now set up.
- Full Ystad depot file set up.
- Line 200 indicators added to the info (arrows and markers) system.

Line 100 (Ystad - Malmo) will operate Mon - Sat, including Holidays (but not on Sundays). Timetable sees buses leave from both Ystad and Malmo, once per hour, 'on the hour'. (2 tours operating through the day, 0400-0000).

Line 200 (Ystad - Skurup) operates 7 days (inc. Holidays). Timetable sees buses leave both Ystad and Malmo, every 30 minutes at 15 and 45 mins past the hour. (2 tours operating through the day, 0400-0000).

Approximate one-way journey time on Line 100 is 45 minutes, and Line 200 is 20 minutes so ideal for when you have less time!

Next up, scenery.

Cheers,

The most eagerly awaited route to date....

Ok, you should have the details now mate

A rough shot of Ystad Station Gata Bus Stand (work in progress):-



Driving down Station Gata (Station Street), towards Ystad, after a journey from Skurup:-



This map has many more smaller objects and more ambience, compared to my 1st map Dannenburg.

Another shot of Station Gata, looking out in the direction of Ystad Vast (West), and on towards all towns to Malmo:-



Cheers,
David.

sweetness !!!

Thanks Lolsmurf (and for your support on the other forum section too ).

Here's a pic from the editor, showing a pedestrian footbridge crossing the (unfinished) town of Kallesjo, en route from Ystad to Malmo:-



Cheers,
David

No prob, if one makes nice maps it should be told.

Anyway will there be people walking on top of the bridge ?

Really lokks great can't wait to see this ingame

Looking brilliant mate !

Don't think I've ever seen people on the top of bridges - but I've never really stopped to study it. Would be a nice touch if they did.

Looks like you outdone yourself again!! Great job!!! Can not wait until its release!

Many thanks for the kind words. It takes a lot of time and effort to create a comprehensive, large map like this so the encouragement is appreciated!

My current understanding of the editor is that it's not possible to get people walking over the footbridge but I will certainly invest more time to see if anything can be done, as that would really bring the environment to life!

Here are some more pics (all work in progress):

This is the town of Sandakra, served by Lines 100 and 200:-



This map aims for a more authentic, three dimensional environment, not just "lined streets" :-



Near Skurup Bust Station, terminus of Line 200:-



.....and finally, view out of the D92 from Skurup Terminus (Note IBIS2 is showing Line 200, Route 01, and Skurup as destination):-



Cheers,
David.

i would soooooooo pay for this route if we had to looks that good

No charge. Just your support

Here's the route map and timetable:-



Cheers,

David.

so basically 1 bus an hour and then every 1/2 hour for half route.. interesting

Makes my rota making easy haha!

I can tell that the belts on my bus will making the worst racket ever at the top speed on the E road lol. Even on that new countryside route 173 or whatever it is...whine whine whine lol!

But honestly can't wait. Keep up the good work.

PS where are the spawn points...? depots?...railway stations if any?

oh and on your timetable on 200 is that 11am or 23.00 (11pm)

Lovely stuff David, I take my hat off to you - keep up the great work!

Out of interest, I did some tests with an express type route with 20 minutes between two stops and the passengers were pressing the stop button and standing at the door a few minutes after departing the first station. Have you worked around this, or do you just have to ignore them? It might just be my ropey driving though!

The route looks great, David, but did you miss reading my question i posted a few days ago?
