no i really dont like it, but then I'm a traditionalist

[j4lambert 22]

@bsquiklehausenThere were a few metro trains present in the Cities in Motion 2: Metro Madness DLC, including the Capital EcoBoost train based off the Siemens Inspiro. Trains from the metro madness dlc pack will not be used for the Metro Overhaul Mod. Instead, a version of the metro train that is exactly identical to the Siemens Inspiro trains found on the Warsaw Metro should be created entirely from scratch!

Also don't forget about the Alstom Metropolis 98B and the 81-717/714! The Alstom Metropolis 98B shares the same traction motors with the New York City Subway R142/R160 vehicles.

AleX_BY already made 81-717/714 in both Moscow and Kyiv Metro liveries He'll publish them after MOM is published.

Hey folks,

I have been lurking this Topic for some time, and signed up basically just to comment here. This mod is just what I have been waiting for.

@andreharv may I ask if the wood and steel elevated version will be part of the upcoming release? I tend to build in a very retro style, mostly only using Assets like Feindbold's Brooklyn set, and I was quite exited to see your screenshots of those.

I should maybe add that I am okayish at modelling with Blender(even though I did not end up loading up any of my buildings to the workshop yet) but I am right now starting out trying to make trains. Naturally this won't be anything new and shiny: The first one will be a Arnine. If I end up needing help getting it into the game in the end, would some of you guys be okay with answering a few questions and giving me a hand? I would really like to contribute something to the community.

As I can tell from previous pages that style will not be included in the first release as there is much left to do or to tune

I could probably give you some hand on this job.

When can we expect the public release of this mod more or less? Also i don't understand why would you want to render underground stations? I think just the platform silhouette would do.

[andreharv 1,197]

@haus5: Welcome!  Rendered stations are not something that everyone would appreciate or utilize.  It almost always requires a free camera mod such as First Person Camera which allows you to move the camera underground and follow vehicles in first person/over-shoulder.  Once upon a time long ago (like a year lol) may people were complaining that when they would follow a vehicle and it went into a tunnel, they would just see a lot of blue and it would look really weird.  I will put a link to other mods that I would suggest (personally, I hate dependencies so I won't say they are required).  But many other mods like fine road heights, move it!, and road anarchy are needed to enjoy the full capabilities of what this mod has to offer (simply put, they make the game a lot more fun to play, period enter tab)...Ok that was a lot of explaining for just one of your questions but I was meaning to post this as we inched closer to release.  I didn't even get to your first question...We'll release...Soon.  Ok before the end of the month.  There are some exciting things that @BloodyPenguin and I have in the works and we are now going over what to include in first release and what to push for later.  Personally, I'm aiming for before Thanksgiving as I will be leaving town for a few days.

Hi, welcome! I think once this mod is out, many more players will be using the first person cameras to enjoy riding the subways. It's no fun going underground and seeing everything in the city just floating above you.

[Distanced 114]

@haus5 I think it's just to add a little realism, to be honest. If you use the FIrst Person Camera mod, you could stand on the platform, or see the view from the train!

[Elektrix 42]

Hey, does anyone have a compiled list of all the trains/stations that were made for the mod? 

I do use BloodyPenguin's mod, but I just wanted to see if I was missing anything.

Is there anyway to make metro trains reverse at the last station, like through creating a diamond crossover or similar, or do you have to make loops at the of the line?

Surely, take a look at the lower part of page 20  those diamonds are developed and work as intended

 

My mind just came across some other "public transport" question, as I started to build an airport at my test-city:

Would it be possible one day to create wider and more realistic runways? The ones in the game are way too narrow, as they are ~ 24m wide which looks odd at a realistic length. Most Aircraft are able to use runways that are ~ 45m wide (so 6U == 48m would do). An A380 needs atleast 60m (8u = 64m). In this case also taxiways should be as wide as runways are now (18m+ irl for large aircraft).

I know, I'm some kind of minority at this topic

I personally tend to avoid making ports and airports just because the rates at which the planes circulate are SO out of control... It brings me to another idea, what about being able to adjust the schedule of transport coming from outside the city?

Ah, I see  So as of the alpha version, they're not available yet?

They are functionally available, they're just not visible.

I hope that will happen too. Many players would love to use that metro overhaul mod and use newer metro trains and elevated/ground-level metro stations from the Steam Workshop instead of mods like Extra Train Station Tracks and elevated/underground train stations.

There are at least two stations using island platforms, but only one of them are released. Also, it's not possible to create elevated or underground island platform stations yet, which is kinda sad because multi-level stations are one of the places where island platforms makes a lot of sense.

When will it be possible for elevated and underground island platform metro stations to be created?

As soon as @andreharv creates one way station tracks. You can read about it on previous pages...

While I'm dealing with Toronto Union and Stadler Glasgow Line, there's train set in the Workshop, which might need to be converted to MOM set; 

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=803713927

I was planning to do it as well, but someone made it before me, considering the number of subscribers it has, I just didn't want it to be forgotten in the workshop. I'm a fan of Stadler made trains, as you probably noticed by now, lol.

So are you going to make the Stadler Flirt 3xl train?

Yes, Flirt 3rd Gen is in my plans.

ANY CHANCE ANY OF THESE STATIONS CAN BECOME OVER ROAD PLOPPABLE LIKE MrMaison's NYC SUBWAY STATIONS IN BROOKLYN? ;AND WILL THERE BE ANY STATIONS THAT CAN SUPPORT 3 OR 4 TRACK STATION LIKE NYC MTA OVERGROUND STATIONS? LIKE HERE

YES, 3 OR 4 TRACK ISLAND PLATFORMS ARE PLANNED ALONG WITH SUNKEN STATIONS IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT PREVIOUS PAGES YOU WILL SEE THOSE STATIONS

[jstatha 6]

THANKS @R3V0. WILL GO PERFECTLY WITH MY BROOKLYN AND MANHATTAN MAPS IVE BEEN WORKING ON.  JUST FINISHING UP HAND MODIFYING ROADS. IS IT RECOMENDED TO EVEN WORK ON MY TRAIN LAYOUT OR JUST WAIT FOR MoM TO COME OUT?

[j4lambert 22]

Wait until the metro overhaul mod is released, @jstatha.

[jstatha 6]

THANK YOU GUYS, WILL DEF POST CITIES TO WORKSHOP AS A WORK IN PROGRESS AS WELL. 

[JSF-1 36]

So I decided to make a station, this time a large central station inspired by Shibuya Station in Tokyo. (I was actually originally going to do a straight model of Shibuya Station but decided not to). Anyways as nice as it looks I can't really get it to work in the game. I want to believe it has something to do with the Sub-Buildings enabler mod. What's not seen is the 2 underground Metro Platforms, meaning this station has 3 Metro stations 2 Underground in a + configuration and an above ground one like at Shibuya Station.

@JSF-1

Your station doesn't look like anything....

 

Because your images are invisible, I believe it's due to the number or their size. Could you update them as imgur links or give links instead ?
