I don't want to say I told you so ...

David, I love this route.. especially at night!

SWEET thanks David !

Really enjoy driving this one, thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, and yes '1812', you did say about those lights

(I realised after 4 minutes of waiting, that they just weren't gonig to let me through!).

GREAT NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE THIS ROUTE (It's my favourite of my own maps) :

I've started a project to extend a brand new scenery area to this map, and a 2nd route will be added. So you'll be able to take the Line 4 from Dannenburg > Tramm > Langenhorst, or there'll be a new Line 5 running from Dannenburg > Tramm > Neu Tramm.

Also expect a general update, like moer street lights and more detail.



Dave.

Great news, looking forward to it.


OT: May I ask, are you planning to do any country maps? I think that would be great, to have a true country map of England, narrow lanes, mini roundabouts, driving through villages, estates, and so on. I'm just curious, as I love that king of environment. It comes from watching Midsomer Murders a lot.

Anyway, thanks and keep up the good work.

Best wishes,
David

I'd love to do that style map too.... the huge constraint is the lack of any roundabouts (except the one huge roundabout from 'Altstadt Spandau') in the standard OMSI objects directory. .... but if people make more obects and splines etc, then I'd love to do that type of route!

D.

Excellent news can't wait. This is a great route already.

The timetable is tight but with my ZF 4hp-500 transmission mod, I can actually flatten it out a bit - voith's are too slow Good route, hope you continue on developing it, also there is a hidden collision mesh near Ystad traveling eastbound

Good day. I am working on an English country map, with miniroundabouts and narrow lanes, villages, the full monty, and you should here more about it very very shortly. The route I'm doing is as always set in Warwickshire, and is a very enjoyable countryroute between Leamington and Stratford-upon-Avon. Anyone who lives in that area, hazard a guess what it might be!

Ironically for those who are waiting for my 17 map - Warwick-Leamington, you can turn into this country map after a couple of runs!

Hi, I've struggled to find this, but I know others have said they've had this problem too. Are you sure you're not taking the corner too fast? ...this will make the passengers 'moan' at that point

I will have another look to see if I can trace anything in that area that could be causing some people to have this invisible collision. But you should also try driving that corner at 15kmh, to see if you still get the collision?

Also, can you confirm you're definately on the latest version of the map? Because I did move a library object from earlier versions, that was causing a problem at this spot.

Cheers,
Dave.

Map (real screen scrape from Google Maps) showing existing Line 4, and the future Line 5, which will be added in V5 :-




PS..... the existing map spells "Dannenberg" incorrectly ("Dannenburg") in all references. These will all be corrected in the next version. You will therefore need to manually delete the old 'Dannenburg' map and HOF files before installing the next version, otherwise you'll end up with both maps, both depot files, and a lot of confusion!

Cheers,
Dave.

I have finally found the source of the "invisible collision" on the final corner before reaching Dannenburg Bus Station on the return journey !

All of my investigation so far had been on searching for hidden objects, of perhaps terrain anomolies.

But the cause of issue was actually a Road Spline with a rogue 'negative z value'. This was causing a 'kerb' effect in the middle of the road on this corner. This has been corrected in Version 5.0.

(See download link in the next post, below).

I have updated my DANNENBURG map, so that it now features an entirely new scenery area at Neu Tramm, and a brand new Line 5, to run alongside Line 4.

This gives more variation to driving this route, and of course more variation to the AI running the lines too.

IBIS Codes:-

LINE 4

Linie Code: 400

Route: 01 (Dannenburg - Langenhorst)
Route: 02 (Langenhorst - Dannenburg)

LINE 5

Linie Code: 500

Route: 01 (Dannenburg - Neu Tramm)
Route: 02 (Neu Tramm - Dannenburg)

Thanks,
David.

Oh very nice, thank you David

Just quickly to let you know some maintenance is occuring on aussiex.net in the next 72 hours so there might be an outage or two for the downloads, I apologise for that inconvenience mate

David!

Don't you dare leave this forum again! This looks real nice will try it in a second.

If by chance have you played the Dortmund map? My goodness is that fun!

Thanks. Yes, I like Dortmund a lot, nice map

I'm just in the process of putting a vid up on youtube of me driving the full new "Line 5" route in this new Dannenburg version.

Will post the link here when it's done.

Dave.

Here we go; Not a great video, but my first in OMSI.

This also demonstrates the TRACK IR device, that I just could not be without, for OMSI or FSX.

Also, you will here some 'non-standard' voices in this - they are from my forthcoming "stagecoach newcastle" maps, and are all in the 'geordie' regional accent, ready for that map. (Thanks to my Brother Bill for the voice acting!).

THE VID IS FAR BETTER WHEN WATCHED ON YOUTUBE ITSELF (double click), RATHER THAN EMBEDDED!

If you just wish to see the new scenery and line area (Neu Tramm), go straight to 08:45 on the vid.

Unfortunately the vid cuts off before you see "Neu Tramm Terminus" .... so you'll have to check that out in the map itself!

How to make passangers speaks english ??

You have to re-record all of the files in the "TicketPacks" folders yourself.....

What you hear in this map is just one replacement 'person' (M1 or 'male 1').... I am in the process of re-recording all 5 males, but these are in a regional English accent, not for general use.

Thanks for the update , welcome back.

Just got V5.. what can I say.. you just get better and better.... keep them comin'...

Anyone out there able to keep the timetable whose name is not Sebastian Vettel?

Get a faster bus from the mods section - this is 2011, you might need a turbo to keep to today's challenging timetables
