About This File
First of all, the Kudos - to Voltaire and Ace Bovenopdeberg for creating the fantastic airport props. And to SimcityFuturist, who came up with the (brilliant) idea to turn some of them into a large Bus Terminal.
Now for myself I wanted the terminal more modular (my pet peeve ;-) and also better fitting into a more suburban setting, as the current design rather has a strong 'inner city' feel to it.
So here is my re-lot of SimcityFuturist's Regional Bus Terminal - with a few additional wrinkles... ;-)
LIST OF ITEMS
* 14x5 - main Bus Terminal
* 14x2 - Bus Parking (large)
* 7x2 - Bus Parking (small)
See Dev Notes below for more details.
DEPENDENCIES
* BLaM Blank - this is essential to avoid brown boxes wich were reported into this topic.
- added by Tyberius06
* ACB VLT Terminals and Jets Series 1 part 2
See Readme/Installation Guide for a comprehensive list of needed models! - These models and desc were merged and superseeded by the below listed AC Mega Props 2 and 3. You need to run the installer of those and you can keep the files on their originally provided location. - added by Tyberius06
* AC MEGA Props Vol02 - added by Tyberius06
* AC MEGA Props Vol03 - added by Tyberius06
* Bus Prop Pack 1 by Glenni
The rest are my usual suspects -
UPDATES:
1) It was suggested to raise the capacity to 35.000 to be more compatible with NAM values (new: v1.1).
2) Better texture for pedestrian crossing added (new: v1.2)
DEVELOPER NOTES
Once you installed the ACB VLT Pack, you'll have a huge chunk (20Mb) of models, props and lots in you plugins - but use barely 10% of them (unless you build those airports as well)... See the included Installation Guide (PDF) with a precise listing of the needed items. You'll be able to reduce that complex bundle to a tight 2Mb and free your menus from any items you do not use!
So what else is different in this pack?
* Smaller footprint - the lot has been resized to 14x5 (before: 14x9).
* Modular - instead is has now separate Bus Parking (14x2 or 7x2) for more flexible layouts; in tight spots you could even skip them, e.g. to replace them with underground parking or similar.
* More Capacity - the terminal now has a capacity of 35.000 (before: 1.000), so there should be no more traffic jams.
Note: Capacity was raised in v1.1
* Added COM Boost - it also gives a slight boost to nearby COM.
* Added Jobs - the additional Bus Parking has no traffic switches, but generates some jobs (80 or 40 CS$$). Naturally, you can also use the Bus Parking strips as standalone items (without the Terminal). If you do so, plop any Bus Stop(s) of your choice to provide traffic switching capabilities.
* Mac Capacity Bug - fixed in this version.
* Complete re-lot - to match the new footprint. Gives it a less 'inner city' feeling, so it's also suitable for more suburban areas.
* Reduced dependencies - you can skip the SimFox Trees, BSC MEGA Props CP Vol01, BSC MEGA Props CP Vol02, VIP CarPack vol1... even the NAM is not mandatory any more. Big deal, you might say - but hey, less dependencies always feels safer - after all, we never know what the guy next door uses (or not)... ;-)
* MMP friendly occupant sizes - to add more trees and greenery, just use any from your own arsenal of MMPs.
You find all items at or near the end of the 'Transportation | Miscellaneous' menu.
