Could I possibly make a request?
I really admire everyone's efforts with regards to the avalanche of RHD vehicles, but almost all of them have two things that keep me playing LHD maps.
The main one is the way glass surfaces look. The Geminis spring to mind here as they are the worst offenders I've come across, but has anyone else noticed that every single glass surface (particularly on the original) looks like they've got about seventeen layers of protective film over them? Glass shouldn't be invisible, but it shouldn't be distracting.
The other is the implementation of the destination equipment. Once again, I admire that people are trying to replicate Hannover Eric+ or Mobitec MobiMASTER ICU type devices, but I can't help thinking that they'd be better off just being a differently styled IBIS unit. Take the Man Lion's City DD as an example. That doesn't feature an IBIS as we're used to it, but it's integrated into the ticket machine and uses the same numbering system every IBIS unit accepts. It could still look like the MobiMASTER ICU, but just take the numbers we've all conditioned ourselves to get used to, particularly when it comes to route prefixes and suffixes (E, N, X, etc.), would certainly help on Cotterell where you've got U18 and X18 but I cannot figure out how to get the unit to add the letters. And yes, I consider using the menus to be cheating ;P
Furthermore, the destination display itself perplexes me. Why do people make their own solution, when the Krueger+ mod (
Krueger matrix mod "Krueger+" 0.6+2ε - OMSI-WebDisk) exists, is far superior and has a guide available for adding it to your bus.
Sorry for the long post and I apologize if I sound at all rude, I don't mean it. I just want the RHD community to have a bus to truly be proud of. Think of it like this: if it's not on par with or better than Alterr's Citaro, then give it a little more time. Honestly though, I've never tried making a bus myself, so I may be completely wrong in saying this, but it looks like it would be easier to do things properly, than to make these mistakes, but hey, what do I know ;P
Final thought: if you don't do something properly, what's the point?
