will the new tram feature gfx get converted.

In simutrans trams are normal trains, that can go on the strees. Thus, this will be not done.

The only thing still missing are the monorails from TTD. However, Simutrans Monorails/Maglev can have elevated lines on top of buildings and such. Therefore, I have to draw an elevated track before I can convert it.

Will there be (articulated) trams like in TTD? That would be really awesome!

Simutrans has had articulated RVs for ages, unless my memory just went really horribly wrong.

In Simutrans you can articulate any vehicle up to four units, if the vehicle in question allows this. Trams are internally handled as trains, thus there are articulated trams. However, this release is horribly old, the new versions supports PBS for all signals, choosing of rails platforms on the rail entry, and shorter/long vehicles. Probably I will compile a current 89.03 also for SimuTTD.

I ment if trams can be treated as articulated road vehicles, making them move in both directions on a road. Just as in TTDPatch

The latest version supports overheadwires on roads. Using such overheadwires, you could have trams a "electric" road vehicles (with maximum four cars) which are limited to the electrified roads. And the overheadwire is a front and backside graphic, so you can draw also rails additionally. However, the Trams in Simutrans have priority over cars, i.e. cars have to wait, if a tram in in front but not the other way round.

But so far nobody in the forum.simutrans.com came to that comclusion, although a "dummy tram" exisits.

So there are no graphics for rails, no trams drawn yet but it is possible! That sounds like an oppertunity. I hope to see those trams in Simutrans soon!

Are there two types of electrified roads (for trams and trolleybuses)? This topic isn't so clear.

No, you can have different cateneries, like third rail etc. Each catenary has in its file an allowance for a way type. I will attach a catenary for road and an electric bus example in some minutes in the other thread.

Just like what Timothy has made for Pak128. I only wish someone would made more trolley buses...

If you want to use any of my graphics

That would include the Canadian set right? Well I was just thinking about requesting some GO Trains for Simutrans. (But for the normal Simutrans)

I notice your from Ontario. Are you by any chance from Toronto?

Perhaps you can use the dutch trainset in simutrans as well? Although it is not coded yet all the vehicles are available. I think you should ask permission to use them from the artists, but it might just be interesting to see them in simutrans as well...

I remember seeing trolley buses in Toronto, Ontario, Canada when I was a boy back in the 1980s. Hmm. . . seems to me the diesel Toronto buses were hybrids waaay back then- they used a compressed air motor to provide regenerative braking for start-and-stop.

If you pull this off, I am so getting this version

Looks AWSOME,
BUT doesent it start LOOKING too much like OTTD, even if it has more features?
Thats just my opinion.

EDIT: Now that I look at it, I kind of want it!
