R160 Posted June 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2008 Im kinda getting a little tired with BVE and trainz simulators. Instead of having sims, how about the MTA or anyone else create a computer game that includes all train lines and routes and includes the 2nd avenue subway and the east side extension. if i had what i needed in order to make this, i would probably do it =). so i was thinking about something like this: You have the start up screen and then options come down Quick Route: You click on this then you go to the next screen which shows all the subway routes. You choose which route you want, which type of train you want (R16, R68, R110, R160B, etc.). Then you drive until you get bored. Career Mode: You start off as a n00b working for the New York City Transit ((NYCT)). Then you become a construction worker. Then a signal expert. I am not sure about this...but maybe you start off as a worker directing people and tourists and as time goes on, you become a construction worker. Then a signal expert. After a while, you become a T/O, then move all the way up to CEO/Head Guy where you make all the calls. CEO Mode: You start off as the CEO. You do everything the CEO does; promote and demote, drive trains (which the CEO doesnt do, but it is fun), retire trains, buy new trains and test them, ride in trains, fix stations, and make your own extensions. You also get to choose what models run on what routes. Example: The should all be R68's The should all be R142's The should all be R179's Then as more passengers use your subway, you get more money to increase your budget and upgrade trains. Free Mode: You make up your routes, train models, etc. Even create your own passengers, unique horn sounds, announcements, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So any ideas/comments/questions/concerns on my NYCT (V)I(D)(E)O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted June 21, 2008 Share #2 Posted June 21, 2008 What you're describing is a simulation. What you're looking for is a complete NYC Subway simulation where nothing has to put together. A simulation where its ready to run with cars and stations. It will probably never happen but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted June 22, 2008 Share #3 Posted June 22, 2008 For the "managerial" aspects try Railroad Tycoon 3 or Sid Meier's Railroads...it's not the subway but you can purchase car orders, set routes, reroute, acquire property, expand, etc. NYCT has its own simulator not available to the public... also i dont think you'd get a "career mode" that would give out too much sensitive info dont ya think?

Cait Sith Posted June 22, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 22, 2008 Releasing a game thats actually BASED on an actual metro or commuter system would be so...so bad. Imagine if the information fell into the wrong hands, who knows what might happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Toasty Posted June 23, 2008 Share #5 Posted June 23, 2008 If you want it to happen, I suggest you begin to learn how to program. I doubt the MTA would do such a thing, and it would sell horribly too (how many people actually want this, we're a relatively small group of fans you know). I'd buy it, I'd even work on it (if I was good enough), and I'd certainly love it, but I doubt this will ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted June 23, 2008 Share #6 Posted June 23, 2008 Keep dreaming. I know many have thought of such a thing, I know I have, especially when I was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bstyles Posted August 10, 2008 Share #7 Posted August 10, 2008 And besides. There are tons of NYCTA routes in development and available for BVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Rock Depot Posted October 15, 2008 Share #9 Posted October 15, 2008 wait a second, if my memory is correct, when the original PLay station first came out, wasnt there a game for it called "A Train"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.J. Posted October 15, 2008 Share #10 Posted October 15, 2008 What SEPTA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted October 15, 2008 Share #11 Posted October 15, 2008 wait a second, if my memory is correct, when the original PLay station first came out, wasnt there a game for it called "A Train"?It most likely was Densha De Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted October 15, 2008 Share #13 Posted October 15, 2008 How about this online simulation game? You're train engineer on Japanese train/subway lines, and trying not to overshoot the platform or not to have huge gap. http://www.realrailway.com/en/sim/online/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know how they keep perfect timing in arriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted October 15, 2008 Share #15 Posted October 15, 2008 Japanese railsims are hard for me. Dont know how they keep perfect timing in arriving. They also have passenger mode, so you can see how many kmph it goes, use all the guideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
