Vehicle station layouts

Post by SirXavius »

I don't see this suggestion anywhere, and i can't believe this wasn't tackled first...

The way the busses and trucks go into their stations is so backward and inefficient (and unrealistic). While i can understand why we wouldn't be able to have realistic docking bays (where semis hafta pull up and back in), the least we can have is pull-in slots, where vehicles enter the station, pull over to the side into a slot, then exit out the other side of the station. Or if the hard-code makes the extra exit impossible, perhaps if they pulled into a rotundra-type driveway...

Would it possible to have double-sized stations that hav e this capability, and maybe has more han two loading/unloading spaces?

Except for similarites in that other post, I havn't read it before. But i think it must have been suggested, becuase on Alltaken's site ( http://doug.mudpuddle.co.nz/gallery/mai ... y.jpg.html ) theres a bus stop on the side of the road among the graphics. (Although these are to be redone) I don't know wether this was just a bit of messing about, or if it was on a to do list for future versions of the game.
