Probably none, the metro's of Amsterdam are actually a bit wider so they won't fit on existing lines in the simulator (well they will work as there is no physics simulation, but it will probably look wrong).

^^ which must mean 1 of 2 things

A- rijndam m4 is getting a massive new overhaul with wider tunnels (a lot of money for the company)
B- we are getting the m5 Amsterdam line

Indeed; during my first test with a platform edge (which I did in an early stage as I know the Amsterdam metro's are wider then Rotterdam metro's, on which the simulator is based) I did find out the edge of the carriages cut into the platform edges.
But as this train shouldn't require all new routes to be modified to be usable, I just did what every train manufacturer does; modify the vehicle design a bit to fit the target infrastructure.

The modifications;
  • Removed a small black strip from the outside of the doors to get a few cm more clearance.
  • Made the whole vehicle 2% narrower.
The result; it 'just' fits along the platforms in the sim now. Only if there is a curved platform, you might still have a problem :D

As a matter of fact; the first two screenshots in this topic are without the modification, the 3rd one is with the modification. Would you know the difference if I hadn't told you? ;)

Alright, I'll start working on it soon.
