Hello everybody.
Its been a while since I last posted an update on my route, and I thought I'd post one for all to see that I have not given up on my route.
Firstly, I'd like to mention that the route I did start making has been discontinued (Route 1 Wimbledon - Croydon - Elmers End) for two reasons:
1) it doesnt exist anymore, as there were route alterations made in july last year, so Route 1 now runs from Elmers End via Croydon loop and back again, and;
2) it wasnt very good! Plain and simple. It was inaccurate, and the scenery wasnt that good, as I was still getting used to .csv coding.
However, in late summer last year, I decided to start afresh, beginning a new route as the real-life tram routes were also revised, so now the route under construction is the revised Route 3 service, from New Addington - Croydon - Wimbledon.
So far, I have done quite a lot of scenery, although, it is scattered throughout the route, without any one area looking remarkably close to completion. However, I have included some screenshots, showing some of my progress, and I look forward to any feedback (good or bad) that you may wish to give.
I'd like to point out that a lot of the textures used in the screenshots below are NOT mine, and some I have yet to get permission to use. I apologise, if this is the case, so please let me know if you see something of yours I haven't asked permission for. I do intend to (obviously) seek permission before releasing the route, I just haven't got round to it yet, so, again, my apologies.
Also, anybody who is willing to help with the route in any way, please also message, either through this post, or pm me. Thanks.
This is the approach to Beddington Lane level crossing and tram stop. The signals will be proper tram signals, when driving in BVE.
This shot shows the single line section between Beddington Lane and Mitcham Junction, passing right through the centre of Mitcham golf course, and the incline of the Mitcham Junction flyover is visible in the distance.
The view just after leaving Mitcham Junction, as you join the single line to Mitcham.
New Addington tram stop. As you can see, the platforms have photo-realistic textures, as does Parkway Health Centre (in distance to right of track).
Although there is not much scenery completed in this screenshot, I thought I would show you what I have done with the road sections so far, and hopefully give you a taste of what's to come. I really would like the town section to feel really authentic, starting with the roads we run along! This screenshot is in between Sandilands and Lebanon Road tram stops.
