Beta 3.16

[brozma]

Finally, after long waiting, full of teasers and a brand new map being developed, it's finally out. I was waiting for this moment since I saw this topic and I saw Simtra narrow gauge tram. Well let's download it, install it and test the map(s).

Hi there, it means all S stock variants (S7 and S8) are to stop here on this marker so the whole train is in. if it was specific to S7 or S8 types it would say S¦7 or S¦8 (though they normally stop just before the board in game and irl when I see them daily, no idea why when the rest of the tube drivers aim to stop perpendicular to the middle line of the stop board).

I believe the other lines, certainly the northern, central, jubilee and Victoria have a interlocking signal where if they dont stop within a few centimetres of the white bit (indicated by the green) on the board the doors will not be able to open

the drivers side window has to align with with the SS bit in the green box

As far as I understand the correct stopping position is when the white square is aligned to the edge of the windscreen. This seems to be different for each type of stock, with 1996 stock it seems the marker has to be aligned to the window on the left instead. And for the old D stock the stopping marker was a white diamond plate placed between the rails and the train having to stop on top of it.

Okay, that makes sense, but at some stations the board is a bit far past the end of the platform and if i stop there the doors which will be next to that fence or past the platform will open anyway. Or am i doing something wrong?

Can confirm some of them are not placed correctly. I find it easier to ignore the signs and try to park as close as the end of the platform instead.

Actually, they are placed correctly, these are to show short platforms and are a thing that happens on the real underground. The trains themselves have announcements and automated functions that stop certain doors opening at stations with short stops, this can sometimes be at the front or back of the trains.

Some of them are not - I can't remember which stations but at some stations the doors end up opening in front of the front gate next to the platforms.

They are also placed where the signal is just about obstructed from cab view if you do stop at the right place.
