The new floor for this variant has steps behind the passenger doors. A comparison between the two:

I don't think we have much of an issue here, so I think it would be best to keep the steps, as it is most realistic for this livery. ;)

Well, not much of an issue.... The ILT (Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport... Inspection living environment and transport) will very likely not approve of a situation where you step down from the platform, and then directly up again :lol:

Make movable steps? Here in San Francisco, our LRVs (Light Rail Vehicles) have moveable steps to facilitate high level (in the subway) and street-level boarding. Maybe something similar could work there.
SFMTA does not know how to run a metro system or light rail or streetcar. 8-)

These are real trains, not imaginary ones (so lets not add that as a function if it's not really needed); http://www.listadotren.es/motor/phototrain.php?tid=2824

I know of the movable step system for both high platform and no-platform use; the Hannover TW6000 trams (which have also been used second-hand in The Hague for a few years) have that system too.

I don't know why, but that doors resemble me the ones used in railcars like 592 and 596 series from Renfe... :lol:

The first situation seems realistic, but the second one looks accessible for wheelchair users.

That's because it's a MAN diesel railcar! I don't know about the 596, but these MAN diesel railcars (592/2300), I think they both have Faiveley doors. ;)

The first one was before FGV refurbished their platforms into high ones, so when they did that, they had to "remove" the steps to gain straight access from the platform and into the train. ;)

So, what would be the best option for the simulator?
