Building a Route Based on the Staten Island Railway Integrated into the NYC Subway System (Download Update 10/24/2023)

Although I have been using OpenBVE on and off for the last 4 years, this is my first time sharing my work on this forum. A brief background about this project is that the line under development is based on the Staten Island Railway (SIR) route where the SIR has been integrated into the NYC Subway system.  The line will eventually head into Manhattan via a fictional tunnel anchoring Red Hook Brooklyn and Governors Island.  For now nearly 2000 meters have been developed running from the Tottenville terminus to almost the Richmond Valley Road station.

Before posting images, let me give some details on my development techniques as the line is very detailed.

1. Scenes are generated via the use of Google Earth and Google Maps.
2. Objects are first created in Sketchup and converted in a 2 step process to CSV files.  Triangles are merged via common sides to created larger polygons.
3. Scenery is one large object built in Sketchup whose dimensions are 500 feet by 25 meters (for straight rail) centered at rail 0. Included in these scenes are ground level satellite JPEG images (4096x1024), one east of rail 0 and one west each covering an area of 250 by 25 meters.  For curved rail the covered area will be 25 meters in the forward direction at rail 0, but vary depending on the curve east and west of rail 0.  The scenery object is displayed by using the ground command.
4. The scenery object consists of buildings, vehicles, utility poles, overpasses, roads, fences, and other static objects. Signals, rails, and stations are rendered as separate objects. They too are built in Sketchup and converted to CSV format.
5. Signals are rendered dynamically via dedicated variables using the preprocessor.
6. The background is refreshed every 75 meters and is a 360 degree panorama centered on a latitude/longitude point and generated via Google earth anywhere from 10 to 25 meters above the horizon depending on near objects blocking a view.  It is an HD JPEG image 11520x1080.
7. At a particular point on the route I have extended the covered scenery area to 1000 feet by 25 meters, due to a large subway yard just to the west of the main line.
8. For complex objects transparency is used to minimize the number of faces.  Single faces containing PNG images are used in special cases.

Here are some of the issues encountered.  First I must say that any issues may be the result of using some very old hardware. I am running on a more than 9 year old Sony VAIO laptop with the following specs Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz  8GB RAM, NVidia GeForce 540m  1GB VRAM.  I have Windows 10 installed.  I run both RouteViewer and OpenBVE as 64 bit.  Viewing Distance is 600 meters.  I hope that the purchase of more up to date hardware (I9, 11th or 12th gen 32-128GB RAM, RTX 3090) will eliminate these issues.

1. OpenBve and RouteViewer.  Heavy stuttering every 25 meters.  This is to expected.
2. RouteViewer stops working after a while.  It runs very slowly in the vicinity of the subway yard. See total opaque faces exceed 60K.
3. OpenBVE freezing requiring a system reboot.

Anyway here a some images mixing both actual and fictional (apartment buildings, subway yard, staging area) elements.

This is very pretty. I will be happy to run this route.

OK here we go. I was successful in getting a train to run on my fictional OpenBVE T Line route. There is some stuttering, but that should be expected on a nearly 10 year old laptop. The secret to getting a running version is having my route file support varying degrees of resolution for both background and ground images. In the code it is possible to set resolution to 480p, 720p, and 1080p for both background and ground, with an additional higher resolution of 4K for ground images. Given the way OpenBVE is designed as a single threaded application, effective memory management is the key. One must know their system specs. A game running at the highest resolution (1080p/4K) for this route for the given length running for two stops for a total of 2200 meters has a 5GB memory requirement even when releasing unused objects. The game here is running at the lowest resolution (480p/480p) because my system only consists of 1GB VRAM (dedicated GPU) and supports an additional 4GB of shared memory (system memory). I have 8GB of system memory. Running at the lowest resolution hardly scratches the surface of using shared memory.

Shown in this video is an R160 Siemens running from Main Street Tottenville to what will soon be the Richmond Valley Road station. Background images exist up until the halfway point between the Arthur Kill Road station and Richmond Valley Road. Between these stations lies the bulk of the fictional scenery for now with apartment houses and the Mill Creek Yard. There are station announcements and even a NYC Police Department announcement just after leaving the Tottenville station.

Hope I’m not breaking any rules here but did this go much farther?

Yes it will. Just after I posted this I suffered a severe medical issue. I have been concentrating on other hobbies plus taking care of myself. I just purchased a very high end system. 13th gen I9. 4090 graphics card, etc. I am writing some code to better update my sketchup processes for building the route at this time.

That’s great to hear man, and otherwise, will it have an alternate version to St George and be able to run 4 car 75 footers / 5 car 60 footers

In the fictional world, St. George is a subway yard.  Diving into a subway tunnel under the bay makes that terminal useless.  This line is part of the subway system, so it will run 10 60 foot cars of either R32, R160, or R211.  Right now the line is a little past the Pleasant Plains station.  I was shot down really bad in January 2022 right when I was on a roll.  Also an old laptop did not help matters either.

Hey man hope all is well ive been following this project in the OBND group last we spoke from the sketchup tool you sent out. (Very Grateful by the way!!) Wanted to ask how did you build the yard with the large amount of tracks? Did you use the ,.rail command or did you build it as a large .animated object. My team is getting back in to BVE development and wanted to know about that part.

Amazing work man, it looks beautiful!!! Tbh this is what I love about old game enginges that use photorealistic textures, it looks amazing. Keep up with the good work and I hope to see it released!

The railyard was build using .rail commands with specialized tracks.  It was a painstaking process, helped by using SketchUp.  Right now all my curves lack a sort of transparency in the rail ties, so my focus now is on cleaning that up.  I have to see why that happened.

Here are some shots of the yard at Mill Creek (where the old Nassau plant once was), and the Main Street Tottenville station with Perth Amboy in the background. I am testing my material attribute program to assign consistent materials.  Notice the guard rails for curved tracks.  My yard had some errors, but I was able to fix the problems after a year off.  I have increased the resolution on the ground level, buildings and backgrounds.

Here is my yard code. All CSV files are generated by my exporter, exporting from SKP files to CSV files. The models for different track configurations are painstakingly created in SketchUp. The materials are copied from images on the internet or by taking photos, and then process by a very old version of Photoshop or GIMP.

Isn't that yard gonna lag a lot tho

I am getting issues when loading the background every 75 meters, especially for a 4K image. Total memory for the image spanning the frustrum is 200MB. I even get stutter on a 1080p image. The yard does not give me issues. Mind you I am using an RTX4090, 13th gen I9. Very disappointed.

Can you share the background image giving you issues?
(Zipped up, need to see the original)

Unfortunately, the engine will see little to no benefits from a 4090.
Please however check that you are using OpenGL 3 (the new renderer, second page of options), as this is now considerably faster.
Load in Advance may also help, but I wouldn't expect the background image to be being unloaded.

I guess there's a reason that most people don't have that much scenery...

A new update is available for this route. It includes the existing route plus an operational version in the REVERSE direction. The Readme is included in the zip file. For optimal rendering of buildings set viewing distance to 3000 meters.
