BR Class 360

With most of my projects being taken over by other developers due to my inexperience with the whole thing I decided to start working on something different

A few years ago I saw a teaser image of a class 360 on bve4trainz. However since that and pioneer trains closed I never saw another update. So I contacted Ben who did the class 350 and he gave me permission to work on the never released class 360. I used the released class 350 as a base. So far I’ve just done part of the Greater Anglia variant using textures from my own photos and google but since the 350 and 360 are very similar there hasnt been much to change. Anyway I’ve got a couple of screenshots of it. Let me know what you think. 

You are aware the PrntScr key on the upper right of your keyboard is for making screenshots? ;-)

there’s no such thing as Print Screen on a Mac, you gotta open an app like Grab to screenshot which takes a bit of time. Anyways, sorry for the bad quality I was in a hurry when I took these photos so yeah

Oh my, that's... sad. Given how much I always get to hear about the userfriendliness of Apple products whenever I say anything critical, I would've never thought

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to your train!

How to take a screenshot on your Mac
You can capture your entire screen or just a selected portion of it. The screenshot is automatically saved to your desktop.

How to take a screenshot of your entire screen

• Press Shift-Command (⌘)-3.
  
• Find the screenshot as a .png file on your desktop.
  

How to take a screenshot of a selected portion of your screen

• Press Shift-Command-4. The pointer changes to a crosshair.
  
• Move the crosshair to where you want to start the screenshot, then drag to select an area.
  While dragging, you can hold Shift, Option, or Space bar to change the way the selection moves.
  
  
• When you've selected the area you want, release your mouse or trackpad button. To cancel, press the Esc (Escape) key before you release the button.
  
• Find the screenshot as a .png file on your desktop.

Well, I guess there’s more than one way of doing it but the next update pics will be properly screenshotted

Got back to this   I took a photo of the train when I visited London a few months ago and use different it to create some better textures
Are you happy now that this is properly screenshotted?

Looks really good, the windows need to be a bit taller though and the windows in the doors need to be a little shorter...

Yes, we are!

Either way yes, there appears to be a small measurement error with the doors; they appear to be too high towards the roof.

You guys are correct about the door thing. I have now changed it so that the window does not curve upwards. I believe that was why the windows looked a little short

Will this be put into one .animated or .csv thing because the Class 350s (when playing it on the NWM (Network West Midlands) map) is recognised as a 12 car train. xD

It is almost a complete refresh of the class 350. The exterior mesh and sounds will stay the same though it will be changed slightly to fit the class specifications. I did manage to get permission from the author of the train of I could revamp this model so that’s what I’ve done. All new textures were done by me from photos I have taken of the trains

Ben's 350, if I recall rightly, used a novel implementation at the time to represent "pivoting bogies". The drawback was each bogie registered as a "car", Current versions of the program make this unnecessary and if properly coded to current standard then the correct car count will result. It shouldn't be particularly difficult to implement.

@graymac. You are right. A lot of the openBVE New York subway trains use this as well. The bogies then sway along with the train body which is not realistic. I’ve patched up the 360 using the new bogie command I recently came across. Works well so far maybe the class 350 will receive this patch also

Ah yes the standard swaying motion that I can remember seeing while playing openBVE. So there is an alternative to that then?
