Re: Beta 3.12
@Sjoerd, why did you choose to specifically build the KTM trams?
Re: Beta 3.12
I like Russian tram design, and I found a KTM 23 model on the Sketchup Warehause website that was very easy to work with in Sketchup. I decided to try to convert it to Metrosimulator.
It turned out to be a big challenge to do that (bigger then I had anticipated); I had to take it apart into more then 20 separate parts, then export it to the modeling program which can make objects for the simulator (exporting it all at once did not work), and then I had to completely re-texture every single part (the model was painted by Sketchup itself, and Metrosimulator uses texture files), and build in the left-side doors (the original model was the 1-direction version).
In effect; I had to do a complete revision of the model: take it all apart into separate components, work with each of them, texture it (in a way that made repaints possible), put it back together, animate it, and so on. It was a lot more work then I expected.
After that, I found pictures of an articulated version of the same tram (the real one, not a model), which turned out to be the KTM 31. That was easier; cut off the rear 1/3 of the tram I now already had, build in an articulation, and build a middle car.
That's the story.
The original unidirectional KTM23 for Sketchup is build by "CF S.", who put as a side-note with the model "This model for free. Take it and use and say thanks ))) if you want. I`ll be very happy)". Ofcourse, I send him a thank you message when I got the Metrosimulator model working.

How can I spawn a train at Simvliet railway stations, in Explore mode?

You can't. The only way is to drive a train from Simvliet Haven with the help of a loco.Alfacinha315 wrote: ↑11 Oct 2017, 16:36 How can I spawn a train at Simvliet railway stations, in Explore mode?

Re: Beta 3.12
I could add a few spawnpoints....
Re: Beta 3.12
That would be great! However some shunting is fun too!
Usually found in the 1700 and the 186 043/186 122
