Just did a simple test from Simvliet Centraal to Simvliet Poort. Good to see Standionweg as a destination encase Michel makes the Harbor Lijn. The AI is interesting as it likes to back down to -1 notch quiet a lot. Love the sounds and the interior is mostly spotless. It's a great addon! I shall play with this more

I'm Creating an Activity for the 230 on Rijndam 2006 as a shuttle between Denia and Rijndam Zuid.
What are the codes for each as I can't find on the Wiki.

Denia is D
but what is Rijndam Zuid
Thanks

In Rijndam 2006, Rijndam Zuid isn't a terminus station for any train service. So there is no destination letter for that. If you want that, you could just make your own CTD file for your activity. However, be aware that after 3.15 come out, Rijndam Zuid - Denia in Rijndam 2006 is a standalone meter gauge railway (with its own rolling stock). So your activity will not work in 3.15.

Also, at Rijndam Zuid, there are no AI-markers, needed to activate the cab for AI-trains. So if you make an activity in which an AI train reverses at Rijndam Zuid, be sure to end the route in your CTD not with "stop, finish", but with "stop, reverse" (in order to pre-activate the cab at the other end for the return journey, as the AI can not activate the other cab itself at this station).

Why not just drive one station further, to Rijndam Centraal Station? Then you do not need to make a new CTD file, and you do not have to deal with 'no AI-marker' problems.

Yeah I'll do it to Centraal Instead

I just tested the new train on Simvliet map, and found a new word for me on the destination board: Hageningen.
What's that?

It's the (yet unseen) city at the very end of the second rail line (other one going to Delfsblaak). Just close your eyes after passing Simvliet Buiten and imagine you're there.

Good one ;)
If you want to make a very fast ride, just disable ATB/ZUB, put trottle to 1.00 and enjoy.

No plans at this time.
Making a repaintable variant takes a lot of extra work, as it requires copying and then re-texturing the whole train (repaint-friendly textures offer a lower end-quality then building the color-scheme directly into the 3D model, especially on the separation line between two colors; park the repaintable Class 230 directly next to the Western Class 230, look closely, and you see the difference).
Due to the extra work needed.... I only did one of them.

Right now, I am putting my building efforts into another project; Toronto. Would be nice if it is ready when 3.15 is online.

I have a feeling that 3.15 will come with line D in Simvliet (and that's why it takes so much time; unless Michiel is building another major feature as well)
Perhaps Line D will passes on Simvliet Poort, and then to Simvliet Airport.
