I'm gonna give the T3/T4 a try (while I continue to work on my national rail project) the model in the screenshot is the sketchup model. I will optimize it for the simulator.

I see MG2. I just stopped paying attention about it because I dealt with fact, it can't be included!

To promote the use of the outside direction indicators, they have been added to the driver panel (in all three Toronto trams);



(The Flexity uses the SG3 panel. On that panel, the direction indicators have been added above the speedometer)

Aaand my favourite question: Will the trams feature a somewhat custom sound like the london underground trains or will they yet again only use the SG2 and SG3 sounds?




Greets, Mika

I think they'll get SG2 and SG3 sounds, as there are probably no good audio files for them. Not even the MG2/1 and SG2/1 have their original sounds either. What I'm wondering is when we will be able to change the service number, as it's still stuck on 562.

I have tried getting sounds from two separate youtube video's, taking a few seconds out of it, and putting it in the simulator. It doesn't work well; as these video's are all in urban environments on street level, you get a lot of sound-contamination from other sources then the vehicle itself.
So yes; I'll just stick to the sounds that are already in the simulator.

To clarify the indicators, will coupled TTC trams' indicators work too or are you still using the same script as the SG2s where the indicators are car specific?

No. This is not something I can solve, or I would have done it already. It is more like a missing function in the simulator. It is up to Michiel whether or not it gets included in a later version.

Well I hope he does it soon or teach some of you devs his delicious coding skills.

Well at least for the Flexcity, most flexcities globallly use the generic "shhhhh" sound that most modern trains have today. It should be possible to get a distraction less, recording from a completely different train to mimic the sound better than using the build in sounds. I will have a look around later today if I can find a good recording of a simmilar train.
Can't speak for the older cars as I have no idea how they sound.

I have been working on it for the last few hours

Oh my god, that looks so great!
