High Speed Rail Project

hey any new pics?

[rodent1989 9]

I'm really eager for this next release.  I'm starting a new region and I really want to integrate High Speed Rail.  Keep up the amazing work!!

[Almighty Nienaber 3]

im haveing this weard like... um... well.... its kinda like the tracks dont fit i can still drive the train over it but its kind of ugly looking. But outher than that i thing the Thing is awsome

[rodent1989 9]

You should skim through the rest of this thread or post some pics.  There are so many different "weird" things that can happen.

IMHO, I think I prefer the monorail. The GLR though, that's a different story.

I hate to sound like an ass, I really do, but *ahem* Do you see any?

[shasta 1]

Would it be possible to create more styles of bridge crossings? The one there is is okay, but doesn't always fit in with the neighborhood near it.

how is the project doing?? the beta release was some time ago... so i was wondering when the official release will be, keep it up!!

I imagine there is a lot of work going on behind the sences with this project. This thread is still very much alive and with the incredible amount of work and the great result that went into HSRP there is serious potential to go so much more further. I know xiziz was making a station but that seemed to halt I think due to RL. I'm certain other people are making stations and if i could BAT I would to so I'd like to invite everyone to show us a little of what is happening!

I like this mod a lot. One thing I would like to see is the ability of track to intersect, because as it is now I am making branches, with side feeder track, in order to serve different areas. A four way intersection is impossible. Do I not have a needed download?

[rodent1989 9]

because of the intended speed of the trains a traditional 4 way intersection would be pretty crazy.  I think this was mentioned earlier in the thread but nobody expects you to scan through 36 pages of stuff to find that.  I don't know if any sort of "interchange" is in the works as details of the next pack are unclear to me.

(maybe you should scan those 36 pages, now i'm realizing i'm probably not even qualified to answer your question.)

I apologize for the bad quality images.

I know they are not very appealing, but here is a couple I tried.

[IdeaWorld 4]

Hello, I downloaded the "HSRP Track Model And Textures" but there .dat's ? I thought they were actuel textures. How do I get the textures?

[Apfelbaumpflanzer 0]

Some impressions form my cities ( I'm a simple user)

[Meastro444 1]

extract them from the DATs, pretty simple eh?

Traff, looks nice, lol the HSR track really does like nice doesn't it??

[dtrcity 0]

is this project ready for full download? It looks great

[bwatterud 7]

There's a beta on the STEX, but there hasn't been much "official" activity on this thread for a while.....

[KyNYC 16]

I'm sorry if this has been questioned before (there are a LOT of pages to search through). I've put the HSR throughout 5 cities in my region but it's not being used. When I query the stations, there are not stats. I've routed the line through my major city and through a few suburbs (2 other maps) and a separate city (another map). Anyone know what I need to do? Thanks.

New Posting:  I've connected my major metropolis with the smaller city only by the HSR.  In the smaller city, there are about 85% Res and 15% Com...hoping that the rest of the sims would use the HSR to commute to the big city.  But there is absolutely no usage on the HSR...not one person.  I've used the HSRP Station that came w/the download for the big city and used smaller ones for the burbs/small town.

[rodent1989 9]

are people using other means of transit between these cities?  if nobody is travelling that direction in the first place (if all other conncections are unused) then why would anybody bother taking a train to nowhere?

[Apfelbaumpflanzer 0]

I've two HSR Lines between cities and both are used by around 10.000 to 15.000 customers, One is even going trough a third city wihout a stop.

But this line is working after building a new HSR Station because my people hade ignored the frst one

The new station is nearer to the exist of the map , maybe this can be helpful for you

.

i have hsr and i trhink its rilly cool but i think that the station could be a bit bigger, in europe most of the central stations in the big cities have at lest 15 or even twenty tracks, i would like to see a station with about 8 standard rail tracks and about 6 hi speed tracks and then a below the main level a subway station

What do you mean ? I have just download the HSRP Track Model and textures and I don't see any dat files in there, but two models and two textures.

Yes it's pretty simple, once you know how to.

You can use sc4tool or the iLive reader for this.

[dmscopio 225]

Hey guys, I am thinking makeing couple of model of the HSRP stations, I never done this before and i am hoping any of you can provide some tutorial on making those elevated rail track texture and transit enable. Thanks!

[vester_DK 477]

You can find the textures for the HSRP in the file HSRP Track Model and textures. Here you also have a model of the normal tracks. The top of the tracks is 15,5 m.

You might need to rotate it, as the models in the dat files have another coordinat system.

Get started on you station, I am sure someone will help you a long with the modding and pathing of the station.

EDIT: The first track hight was wrong, it is 15,5 m

Since I cannot play at the moment due to hardware problems but really do want to play with this great mod: Any chance for a transition HSRP <-> normal rail? IRL sometimes they match - in Germany the ICE uses quite some of the "older" lines (with speed limit 160-200 km/h) and as far as I know the TGV, too, uses at least some of the bigger railwaystations in France, too!

@Nardo69: Well, it shouldn't be too hard to BAT a transition that looks similar as the other transition lots, which are merely transit enabled lots that convert one transit type (monorail, since HSRP is basically monorail with a new "skin") into another (normal rail). But since the rail doesn't have paths for monorail (or the other way round), the bullet trains will disappear when approaching the transition lot. Of course someone could add rail paths to the monorail (since it'll be changed anyway), but apart from the work, you won't be able to prevent regular trains using the HSRP tracks - which happens in real life as well occasionally, but usually, only with intercity trains and the like, but not commuter trains.

[kalashnikov 1]

I know that this may sound slightly noobish, but please bear with me.

I was intrigued by this idea, so I've sat and read or at least read a few posts from all of the pages, and downloaded the Beta on the Stex, the left-hand paths, and some other update that was posted in this thread. (if that's the wrong way of doing things, please tell me). I've then gone in game, clean region, and thrown the HSR across two large city-squares, and placed residential at one end, and commercial/industrial at the other. Now, everyone is linked to their HSR station by underground, but no-one uses the actual HSR - some of the residential types use the station as an extra underground station, but no HSR trains run. Also, on "U-Drive it", I only seem to get a train running right-left, though that's probably just bad luck.

Any ideas how I can force people onto the thing ? There aren't any other links between the two cities, and I've tested as much of the track as is possible for breaks, there are non. I've also tried removing the fancy passing-loops I put in at the stations, but that made no difference. I really do like this idea, and would love to use it on some of my bigger regions, so if anyone has a solution, or I've just missed something, I'd be most grateful if you could help me make it take passengers.

Thanks.

Is there any news of work that has been happening behind the scenes?

Is there a release date yet?

I was just wondering as there has been no more info on whats happening about this project for a while.

[Col-Joe 0]

where can I find More trains for the HSRP?
