RE: BVE Meitetsu Gifu Tramways

My thanks, Hongjian!

I was the guy who mentioned that
japanese site with Tanigumi videos and others.
Unfortunately, that site is closed, I was lucky to have grabbed all the videos during the time site was open.
My thanks again for the japanese routes,
they're always my favourite ones.

RE: BVE Meitetsu Gifu Tramways

You are welcome, Joao. Hope that you have enjoyed driving the Meitetsu Tram. I had taken the Meitetsu class 800 out for a spin last night and I was amazed on the quality of the route!

It is a shame that Meitetsu chose to close this route last year. Hopefully, a community railway organisation will take over and reopen this route. There are lots of JR or private lines being closed and these community railway organisations took oper and re-opened these routes for passenger services.

It is sad to hear that the video site closed as I would love to see more videos of the routes from Japan.

Dear Hongjian,

Although I'm very sad to know that the real line is closed down,
I thought this sort of thing only happens in Brazil,
It's good to have, at least, the BVE version to enjoy.
Comparing the BVE route with the real video, it's amazing
the similarities, a very well done work, my congrats to the author!!
I didn't have any kind of problems installing this route,
no bugs were reported, so this is definitely a MUST HAVE on your BVE.
Highly recommended, it's even the best using my Meitetsu 750
built in the 1920's, and with full cab!.

My thanks again for giving us this valuable URL.

Oh! The Meitetsu Class 750 Tram. That is the original tram car that operates on the Gifu Tram line and Tanigumi Line from the very beginning.

Is there Meitetsu Class 750 Tram available for BVE 4? I do have a copy of the tram in BVE 2 version only.

RE: BVE Meitetsu Gifu Tramways

Hi

Speaking of the rolling stock of the line, could you please inform me if the trams (meitetsu 880 and 800) are updated for BVE 4? I ask because I have the BVE 2 version so there is no reason to download the same vehicles again.

Thank you
Smile2evan

RE: BVE Meitetsu Gifu Tramways

There are updates for both trams. BVE 2 trams do not work on BVE 4. Hence it is necessary to download again both trams.

RE: BVE Meitetsu Gifu Tramways

As far as I know, there isn't a BVE 4 version for the
Meitetsu 750 tram. I'm still using a mix of the two BVE 2
versions I have here.
The first issue of this 1920's tram has, in my opinion, the
best sounds, but still has a simple cab.
The second version was released with a full cab, so I had to make a simple adaptation, using the train files from the oldest version with the panel.bmp from the newer version. It's working pretty well here,
in my BVE 4.

RE: BVE Meitetsu Gifu Tramways

Thanks for the suggestion, Joao. I will give this idea a try. I hope I still have a copy of the oldest Meitetsu 750 tram.

By the way, which software should I use to convert the panel from BVE 2 to 4?

RE: BVE Meitetsu Gifu Tramways

Hongjian,

Can't remember right now which software is used to convert train
cabs from BVE 2 to 4.
All I know is that the file Panel.bmp for BVE 4
must have a size of 480x440 to be shown properly.
If you want, I can send my Meitetsu 750 for you, size is 1.70 Mb.
