Hi everyone, welcome to the bus I've been working on for the last while.
It is the Dennis Trident Plaxton President, we plan doing as many engine and gearbox combos as possible, but what will come is based on what we have available to us.

Let's talk about the generic variants, which are the versions coming first:

The release order (all of which are generic op-neutral variants):
Release 1 - 10.5m Single Door Regional, Gasket/Bonded.
Release 2 - 10.5m Dual Door/London editions, Gasket/Bonded.
Release 3 - 9.9m Single Door Regional, Gasket/Bonded.
Release 4 - 9.9m Dual Door/London editions, Gasket/Bonded.
Release 5 - 10.5m Low Height, Gasket/Bonded
Release 6+ - Anything operator specific. You'll be updated when this happens.

Seats?
Generic variants will contain the following as setvars:
Lazzerini Practico 2845
Scanflex
Fainsa Cosmic
Rowan Telmac Telford 20.

Linea seats will be available in a seperate, semi op-specific First Variant.

Destination Boards?
Generic variants will contain the following as setvars:
LEDs
Flipdots
Rollblinds

London variants will be equipped with traditional TfL spec blinds. Dual door variants will be equipped with the generic options stated above.

Ticket machines?
Generic variants will contain the following as setvars:
Wayfarer TGX150 (With thanks to Sambob_12 scripts)
Ticketer (Courtesy of V3D and Sambob_12)
VIX TP5700 (Modelled)

We plan delving further into the scripts of these to try and bring them close to/on par with DLC standard.

Full Specifications for any future variants will be communicated as they're conceived

What will the templates be like?
They will be baked, easy templates like that on most modern UK buses. Templates will be available in .pdn and .psd formats. You will need to save these as .dds files, for which a tutorial will be provided.
The final version will come with a repainter's manual to help you get the best out of repainting the bus. You won't be able to acquire an early version of the template.

Release Date/Beta?:
IDK/No

Will this be finished?
I have every intention to finish it, but it's going to take time

The screenshots below are very old, and are nowhere near the standard the model is currently. Look at your own risk :P:

... well, where do you think?!
Absolutely gutted to hear about this. One vehicle down from my fictional company, and one vehicle down from my livery pack.

Regardless, from what I've heard, this is due to Luke getting into Year 11 and preparing for his GCSEs. Seems logical - it's best to offload a time-consuming and stressful side project in favour of getting that education. I mean, think about it: what's more important? Getting GSCE grades that can probably land you a good job, or snapping together a vehicle for a game?

Going from what I've been through, I say the former. Good luck in your future endeavours. Here's hoping it might come back... next year?

I'm really sorry to hear about the Trident's cancellation! :(
I was really looking forward to the President, it seemed to be such an exceptionally high quality piece of work.
Yet I can understand it 100%, if life gets in the way of the development of this bus, then the development of this bus will have to wait until another time.
I really hope that some day the development of the bus will start again, and that some other day in the future, we'd actually be able to get behind that Trident's awesomely modelled steering wheel. :eek:
Anyways, I wish you good luck on those GCSEs, Lukeyboi! :)

We're back in business
It's awesome to hear that! :D
How did the GCSEs go? If you're back in business, I assume they went great?

Also, that Pressy looks absolutely phenomenal! :eek:
It looks as if you imported the Plaxton President into your computer, straight from reality! :eek:
I just wish I had 3D-modelling skills like that... :oops:
Anyways, I'm really hyped for the Trident's release! o_O

Also, are you redoing the interior? It's nowhere to be seen, neither in this picture nor in the workbench one a few days ago...
Thanks in advance! ;)

BTW: I noticed how the bus is now 'Un-cancelled'. Nice!
