RE: OK...Here we go

At the momment there are no such project in Japan and I am quite certain nowhere else.

But if you want that so badly, than YOU try :-)

1.) Did you check the wikipedia page? It says 2003.
2.) I don't know how to create the train.dat file for certain trains...unless I can get "tutored" on how to make one.

As far as I am concerned, BVE is for railway and that is an automatic driverless MAGLEV, a complete different type of transport.

Hence as I am aware, it will not be developed as no train drivers will be needed.

RE: OK...Here we go

Actually there is one situation where the maglev does not obey the speed limit of 300 kmph. It went 581. Man-driven!

In full operational terms, there is no need for any drivers in a MAGLEV system.

Only "drivers" needed are the engineers in the operational control room. As part of my job being Railway Systems Engineer, have been to the Transrapid site in Germany, where I have a complete lowdown of the MAGLEV project.

The Japanese system by JR is part "Cheating" in my opinion as the MAGLEV train have rubber tyre wheels! These wheels are used to accelerate and decelerate. Until a certain speed is reached there is a switchover between wheels and magnetic leivtation.

RE: OK...Here we go

There is / was a Mag lev line produced. Swedish I think. With permission from the author, this might be a good start for track and a train. I have it, but I do not know where I got it.

RE: OK...Here we go

This is true about the rubber tires. They say they switch from wheels to maglev after 140 KMPH.
