[CLOSED / NOT AVAILABLE]: "Spandau Modern" (M37, 137)

Thanks for the updates David, nice of you to fix the little problems that show up.

Hi all,

I have just released a version of the "IBIS2 / D92 Announcements Audio Pack" for Spandau Modern, over on the Bus Mods & Repaints forum.

It's all fine now other than one big thing; there is no 'bing' noise before the bus stop name ... but they're still worth a try!

If you're interested in trying these alternative bus stop announcements (which are designed to have been spoken by the driver through his mic), then pop over to that forum section for the download.

There will be no further versions of this mod, perhaps other than after I've released the "337 - Falkensee" extension for the map (some time away as haven't started it).

Cheers,
David.

Excellent work. This map plays beautifully with the D92 repainted into the BVG 2002 livery with my D2866 engine modification!

One suggestion though. The bus stop on Heerstraße east of Reimerweg should have a bus bay according to what I've seen on YouTube.

That is supposed to be there like that, it is a UFB

(Unidentified Flying Bin) LMAO!

So that's where those bloody bins ended up !

I changed my graphics settings in OMSI during the building of the map, and so lost sight of a couple of those bins, that had been temporarily placed there.

Thanks for spotting these - expect a Version 9 later today, with these corrected and one or two other small changes.



David.

[EDIT: Very strange, as I am not seeing those bins in those places. I do see two bind in the wrong place (which I've just removed) but they're not in the places on those pics above].

Verson 9 now available.

Due to the unconstructive and thoughtless comments made by the user known as "Wesley" on this forum, I have removed the link for this version (and all other versions of this map) from general download availability.

Anyone wishing to try this map, or this version, would need to contact me, by email, stating their user name on this forum.

I am sorry to all of the kind, supportive users out there, but I have a weakness; I just cannot tolerate mean, troll-like, spoilt people, who don't acknolwedge the efforts put in by other people, who take it all for granted, and who are basically insensitive and hurtful people.

David, just a note of thanks and appreciation! I'm really enjoying your hard work, and look forward to your plans for expansion of the Spandau map.

My only problem is keeping time in the D92. Those electric doors are so flippin slow and it doesn't help that you can't open them until after stopping!

Thanks again
Steve

Thanks Steve. There's a modification in the 'Bus Mods & Repaints' forum that makes the D92 a lot faster - might help keep that tight timetable!

Or you can use my mod which has a fine-tuned transmission and a simulation of MAN's turbocharged D2866 LUH engine. It works well on tight runs.

My mod is in the Script Programming section of the forum.

Cool, I'm going to check that one out now, as the other one is a little too 'hot' IMO...

Cheers,
David

Yes, I completely agree. When I was calibrating the engine, realism is what I had in mind.

Bear in mind that I have calibrated the engine to actually produce very low torque values at engine speeds below 1000rpm to simulate a modern-day Euro-emissions compliant engine. The engine has a much stronger mid-range though (1000-1600rpm) which means that everyday driving will be a breeze compared to the D2566 UH engine.

Sounds great, you clearly know your stuff about these engines Dave, so I'll trust your numbers! I wish these buses had the torque of my VW Golf GTTDi !

They do, and more.

The engine that I'm attempting to simulate is the MAN D2866 LUH which is a turbocharged, intercooled 11.967-litre 6-cylinder engine that produces (in base calibration) 191kW (260 PS) @ 1900rpm and 1050Nm @ 1000-1400rpm. I believe that the only cars that have this much torque (but not at such low engine speeds) are supercars and hypercars such as the Bugatti Veyron.

Fair enough, in that case I wish I had a D92 engine in my Golf GTTDI ....... that's a huge amount of torque and power, at such low revs. But I wouldn't fancy the fuel bill from that 11 litre engine......

You know what? Considering the GVM (Gross Vehicular Weight) of a standard 12m rigid bus (about 18,000kg), the fuel consumption of typical German bus isn't all that excessive. With a turbocharged 12-litre engine in the back (even a brand new one with higher power outputs), fuel usage on start-stop duties lies around 40L/100km. That's only about five times more than what your average diesel-fuelled family car would use around town.

Sent you a link request

Looking forward to try it.

Tak, jeg har svaret.

I did send a link request.
I did forget to put my name in it though. If you need my e-mail address to confirm, just PM me

I have been enjoying these maps, sad to hear that you're having trouble with a troll.

Thank you, I appreciate all support, and any genuine members of the forum are welcome to try the map.... I am responding to emails as quickly as possible. I set up the email address at 15:08 GMT today and I have already received 97 requests for the download link. All except one have been sent it.

WTF, that's crazy! As hard as you work to get this route working perfectly! It's a shame that some of these people can't keep their comments to themselves. Sorry to hear that! Well keep doing what you do, I enjoy your work.

Thanks!

At the risk of banning on the "Spandau Mordern" (I like it, really!), I think the posts Wesley wrote are only his opinion.
They are only critique and not "needless, hypaethral comments". Before presenting addon's here in this section you should brace yourself for constructive criticism. ;-)

Hi David!

I just installed and played version 9 of your route, but i had some problems, when i started the game it said the following files were not found:
Landscape objects:
"Sceneryobjects\Kreuz_MC\Kreuz_zepp_pirmasenser.sco"
Spline types:
"Splines\Marcel\str_2spur_7m_Kisselnallee1.sli"
"Splines\Marcel\str_2spur_6m_Radeland1.sli"

At first I did'nt notice any problems, but when I got to Rathaus Spandau (Driving the 137 from Freudstr to Reimerweg) the game suddenly exited, what could have been causing this, and why are the files missing?

Except this the route looks great as usual, thanks!

Hey,

I've got a problem. The Ki Busses show only the line number but not the destinations. Where is the problem?
