First I want to say, that this thread isn't a question for the Viennese Underground in MetroSimulator, it's a presentation of my project I'm doing for this simulator. I know, there aren't any modding tools available right now, but why should I wait for them? The project was previously for RailWorks, but as in my opinion the creation of rolling stock is too complicated, I thought that a underground shall be in an undergroundsimulator. So, I hope you aren't angry, because I'm presenting my project for this great simulator!
I always wanted a good simulator, were I can drive the underground, here it is. I'm sure MetroSimulator will be a very great game (it is already a great game, but with modding tools it will be greater!), if I look on the preview screens of Beta 4 with the very cool light effects. So, I started to model the first type of Vienna Underground - the Silberpfeil Type U ("Silverarrow"). Although Vienna Underground started operation in 1978, the first prototypes of this rolling stock were delivered in 1972 and lifted into the first unfinished tunnels.
Notice, that the model is of course work in progress, so the bogeys and wheels are only dummy models and the interiortexture isn't finished yet. The doors already exist, but they don't have a texture and aren't completed, so I don't show you them. Here are some pictures of the real stock:
My plans are, that I finish this car first and then start modelling some route things like stations. Doesn't matter when the modding tools are released, but I'm sure the type U will be at an advanced stadium when the time comes and the tools are released.
And last but not least, a render of my model.
Critic, praise and questions are welcome!
