If anyone wanted a texture change, I might be able to manage it, I'm already working on ome (for private consumption only) that changes the roadbed from concrete block to concrete ties.

(will post pictures later)

simply great!

keep it on!

This will make a real difference, fantastic.

One suggestion however, in the station, it would be easier to combine the different networks if the high-speed rail tracks were next to each other rather than opposite sides of the building as shown earlier

Brilliant material though, it will make a real difference to the game, especially in 'nation; regions

I would just like too point out that i hgave found the high speed rail network a place in my cj as a high speed rail connection.

vist it here https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=75912&enterthread=y

At the moment its in the last update

Concerning the interchanges...let me add one thought...to my knowledge, ALL such train systems also rely on computers...computer can calculate, in a fraction of a second, at what point 2 trains would be getting to the same interchange at the same time...with computerized systems, communications networks, etc., the trains can communicate with the main server and that server can indicate a need for one train to slow down slightly...basically, if you slow one train down by 1-2 km / hour, that train would get to the interchage AFTER the other...thus, avoiding a collission...quite a simple program actually, just a basic If-Else-Then type script...yeah, it is more complicated than that in real life but that is the basic premise anyway...   quote>

The computer actually controls the signalling systems to which the trains rely upon for authority of movement.  It's a system called Centralized Traffic Control, usually run by a dispatcher.  The photos in these links provide examples:

I'm surprised I haven't checked this thread out until now, but I have to say that this looks like a great, worthwhile project that y'all are running here. I would love to have HSR in my cities; too bad I'm not a modder (or BATter for that matter) b/c I'd definitely be helping!

Finally some one who wants to put acela on the game.  Way to go.  We ought to try and get the rest of these kids to put some major passenger stations on as well.

what suprises me is that in the states electrified HSR lines haven't been develloped

at the rate oil keeps rising in price

the development of an USA HSR network is going to be cheaper then buildiing new airports & in nation air travel

BTW are the values for relieve changed as well

Okay i said a while back that this overrides my monorail skins. you said too just re-install the skins after. i tried it and it didn't work.

I assume this will be narrow gauge then

I kids, I kids (I know the game has a tendency to stretch things slightly).

hey,wonderful work.

may be i didnt search careful, but after i download the alfa HSR,I found the track in the game,but can anyone tell me where is the station?

thanks a lot.

[Andreas Roth 607]

The station is not released yet.

[zachos-prague 0]

Hi, can anyone tell me, whether is HRS in game faster than standart monorail, or not?

[Yoman3 5]

It is MUCH faster much much faster. and looks better

[trueplaya8892 0]

how about using a BATed version of the monorail station for the hsr while the new one is being made

[LP 1]

Haven't seen an update for a bit. Hows it coming along? Is there any end/release date in site?

[Tommy_Vercetti3 3]

Looks great and can't wait until everything is done.

[newyorkstate 6]

Great Idea! Excellent! Wonderful!

[mightygoose 92]

any chance of modding it so we can have ground level HSR like gLR but faster

[Meastro444 1]

i think it would be possible, but i requires a lot of modding.

looks as if my maglev project is getting more atention than the hsrp...at least for the moment

Hey all, for those who listened to Podcast Episode 3, you probably noticed a shout out about  a High Speed Rail Station being BATted by me, i wasnted to make something Victorian (allthough what i have looks more Georgian). Its not finished yet though.







When completed i can also rerender with a standard rail texture and use it for both NAM rail and El Rail.

[Yoman3 5]

GREAT WORK I love it. and it will look great in the old section of my city

[szarkoz 8]

Great job, ILL Tonkso, I like it very much. How big is it?

[paperboy15 4]

Hooray for Tonkso! Looks great...it will work with my modern cities quite well.

[mightygoose 92]

oh yesh

[E.J.C 9]

this is starting to look very great!!

keep it up you MODers & BATers!!
