Hi,
Few weeks ago I thought of making a new vehicle for the pak128,
and I decided on a double decker bus for the futuristic passenger transport.
So here it is, the CST Urban City DD:
#(provisional values)
obj=vehicle
name=CST_Urban_City_DD
copyright=Christian
waytype=road
engine_type=fuel_cell
freight=Passagiere
payload=127
power=270
speed=55
gear=100
intro_year=2027
intro_month=3
cost=2689000
RunningCost=129
weight=23
length=8
constraint[next][0]=none
constraint[prev][0]=none
EmptyImage[W]=CST_Urban_City_DD.1.0
EmptyImage[NW]=CST_Urban_City_DD.1.1
EmptyImage[N]=CST_Urban_City_DD.1.2
EmptyImage[NE]=CST_Urban_City_DD.1.3
EmptyImage[E]=CST_Urban_City_DD.1.4
EmptyImage[SE]=CST_Urban_City_DD.1.5
EmptyImage[S]=CST_Urban_City_DD.1.6
EmptyImage[SW]=CST_Urban_City_DD.1.7
Fine ! I vote for it ;-)
Nice one! We definitely needed it. :thumbsup:
A very Nice Bus Christian.
But the intro_year=2027
It a little bit late better it 2017.
Brilliant, Christian! :)
Thanks for your praises ;)

2017, that's already in five years.
I've thought of a late introduction, because the pak128 hasn't many buses in future,
so I think it's better to introduce this one a bit later.
If you compare my other futuristic bus with the double decker,
(in my opinion) the last one looks more modern and should be introduced after the "old" one.
Imho, 2027 is a good date. I'm agree with you Christian.
I think, that speed 55 km/h is too small...
If it's a bus targeted for urban transport 55 kph is ok. Maybe raise it to 70 kph for suburban use. Anyway, new speed bonus system wouldn't consider higher speeds as city roads would limit effective speed.
Okay, I understand your proposals.
Maybe it's better to raise the top speed to 70 km/h.
Here's a new test version, I've increased the capacity to 185 and changed the running costs to 1,24.
Here it is: the new CST Interstate!
I 've made a few changes on the double decker, so it became a smaller, faster and more streamlined version.
For the .dat-values I have oriented myself on the S.Kroytor Traveler, but I haven't tested the bus with these values very well.

this new bus make me falt as flunder. :o
Nice. I'll test it as soon as possible.
Beautiful!
I like the smaller bus, but the double-decker... shaving a few pixels off the height might be nice, it appears incredibly huge and imposing.
Thanks! :)
I resized the double decker a bit and I changed the values of both buses, so now they are more realistic.
Also the Interstate changed its name to Stateliner to prevent confusions with the Interliner ;).
Would be even nicer with some antialiasing on non player color parts ;)
A good job
you if you have futuristic vision ;)

Thank you Christian for the new Buses.
With the Buses open the gate for the future.
Included in r1156. Thank you!
