As of today, what Orion Vs are still in service?

It was the XN40 demo that's being tested for the upcoming CNG order. It was parked in front of my house earlier today while I wasn't home

For ISL fans:

 

 

Keeping that in mind as well. As far as I know, we'll be able to go anywhere, since we'll have the whole day.

OK

 

@BM5 

 

Thanks for the info. I'll have to go hunting then.

 

@VG8

 

Yep. Although, I don't imagine one will do anything. They'll cut their losses at somepoint

 

@MysteriousBtrain

 

And I'll double-check after I post this, but all those are in the Bronx, with the exception of CS(Queens), right?

What's the easiest depot to get into, in all of the boroughs? My family is planning to go to NYC on Labor Day, and I need some media for a project, so yeah.

Yeah.

Update on the Orion VII. There was a persistent issue with the glass, so I started over in Blender. There's also a video. If you'd like to see it, search OMSI Orion VII NG on YouTube. More updates to come. Hopefully not too sporadic though:

 

 

 

 

My bus as of today: 

 

 

 

If you have suggestions or comments, I will answer them.

I have something new to bring to the table:

 

 

 

@MTA B43,

 

I did the best I could with that fan, but since I don't have the proper documentation and dimensions of the tank, it may look a bit weird.

I've released a mod for the D40LF, simply called the "New Flyer C40LF mod"

Update:

The flagship of the CTfastrak busway, is finally in-game:The 101 had it's last test run, with the route being about 25 minuteseach way. Until the issue gets fixed with the DE60LF, it will be operatedby Solaris Urbino 18s. With this, the 102 will be extended, will the route being almost an hour long(46-49 minutes) each way. The 39W ,128,121,and 140 routes will be built after the 101 is done. The 39W and 128 routes will come first as they are farther along and will take less time to build. 

 

Existing and running routes:

32

37

39

101

102

161

501

910

 

WIP routes:

39W

121

128

140

144

Yeah heard that the download version got delayed to the 16th instead of tomorrow.

I hope the developers look into making a NYC add on, that would be awesome.

 

Thanks for the info! There are people on Steam thinking, "Where is it?!", and yeah. But they might have to do small stuff, like 3 lines worth, mainly cause it would be a bit intensive on their and other's PCs

Anyone hear about Chicago? The addon comes out tomorrow, and I will be releasing a repaint pack for it

What the roadmap looks like currently:

 

Another Update for my map. Another 3 lines are in the works now:

 

CTtransit local:

37- Downtown Greenwich > Charter Oak Marketplace*

Current driving time: 18 minutes

 

CTtransit express:

910- Downtown Greenwich > Tolland Insane Asylum*

Current driving time: 20 minutes

 

CTfastrak:

121- Downtown Greenwich > Either Elmwood Station or Tolland Insane Asylum

Driving time between 15-25 minutes

They wouldn't be too bad. But they may not be able to handle the roads in NYC and surrounding areas.

Another bump. If no one minds ( And I think no one does) I will borrow this thread to show progress on my WIP Connecticut Map, Quincy.

Some information on it first:
 
Planned Lines: 

• All CTfastrak lines, with fictional destinations[/size]
• At least 5 CTtransit lines, spanning through 3 towns and cities[/size]
•  

• Realistic fleet numbers and counterpart details will be used (Means that bus #113 will have a flipdot display and old engine, which means Morphi's Soundpacks will be included)[/size]
• Chrono for the lines. Mainly because in 2007-2008, there was a route change, changing all lettered routes to number in Hartford, where this will be based[/size]
• Finished Stuff:
   
• Two lines have been finished. As I type this post, I am doing TTData for a line now. Both CTfastrak that go on and off the busway.
• Scenery for one of the towns. This will have about 5 lines running through it, between AI and User lines.[/size]
• Repaints. All repaints have been finished.
• Ticketpack for the map.
• Videos/Pictures:
  A repaint used in the map:

  Enjoy!

That is why I asked. These things shouldn't just happen without the correspondence of some governmental authority, i.e. the NYPD

Kissena Blvd was a COMPLETE MESS this afternoon. Some stupid Christans think they can just gather up to do a parade and clog up buses and important streets. 7 buses bunched up. Neither the dispatcher or the B/Os knew what to do.

 

Took me one hour to get home from Main St to Melbourne Av when it should've took 15-20 minutes.

It's rather interesting that buses were running on that road when this occurred. Was this parade known about ahead of time? I wonder, were there any police involved?

Why would you need supervision? I live in BK but travel to the other borough's (esp Queens) fairly often. I'm 18 btw.

 

I wonder because for my 14th birthday, I will be able to walk down to the shopping plaza close to my house, a mile away. What I wondered is how can one nrof my same age, walk the streets of NYC, but I can't walk to a shopping plaza in Hartford, including the sheer size of NYC. And what's worse for me is that I never wss able to go anywhere because I lived in a place where the nearest place of retail was at least 20 minutes walking distance, one-way

Would you require supervision to go to say, Queens, if you live in Manhattan? Or say you lived in Manhattan, on 45th and wanted to go to 207th, would you require supervision of someone over 18?

Are there any teen-aged busfanners here who live in NYC?

This time there is 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this one for fun

 

 

Have a good rest of your March, peoples!
