Zoom USSR Bus Set (improved version)

[Zoom]

Here is it
I'm waiting for your comments.

looks very nice good work

I tried it yesterday and I really like it. The only thing I dislike is the reason that the Long Vehicles Set busses are much bigger when you use both at the same time but thats not important. Is that in reality the same that russian busses smaller compared to european busses?

cu, Spaceball

Here's some pictures

Another three buses

And about sizes - i know, that long busses are bigger, but:
I made my busses in scaling 2.5 pixels per 1 meter
In comparasing with long railway vans they should be even shorter - or long railway carriages should be 1.5-2 areas length

You mean they are 9.6, 10.4 and 10.8 metres. I thought the last MAZ is 12 meters long and 2.55 meters width. Correct me or redraw it
For long vehicles I use 3.3 pixels per meter scaling. May be you could use the same or 3 pixels per meter?

I love the sizes, longvehicles are just too long for the game engine.

You don't want to compare the buses with the railway vans. You can tell just by looking at them that the traincars are proportionately badly off. They are about half or a third the length they ought to be in proportion to their width. Most of the original locos are the same. But that adds to the "cartoon-y" nature of the TTD graphics, which is fine. When you make the buses too small, they are too short which is OK, but they are also too narrow and too short in height which is not OK. I'd say, there must be a middle ground between what you have, and the Long Vehicles.
Also, George is working on a way for Long Vehicles to handle corners better, that will make a difference.

I know it and understand you
But I've already done so much work that now I haven't so much time to repaint it if I make some bus larger I will have problems with their details (windows & doors) which would be not proportional...

[krtaylor]

Well, I guess it's not totally unreasonable that Soviet vehicles would appear smaller and less cushy than Western ones.

This means, that your bus has to be 30x6x7 pixels, and it is 27x7x7. And, I think, adding 3 pixels is very simple.

And what sizes do you have for other buses?

[Zoom]

Thanks!
Have you sketches for other models?

Michael Blunck wrote me that size of busses was OK
And what about GRF ID's - I used standart ones (4 from temperate and 3 from toyland) of busses. But I can use another ID's - let's make table of them with other GRF-makers. (To let our vehicles not to use the same ID's)

Hey These buses are great! Where can i see/get these buses ? And does exists a set of USSR trains/planes too ? I'd like to see that a lot

regards and keep up the good work
