Trolleybus test

405 Delsin  8.9 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Delsin's Trolleybus test

A concept made just to find out if it's possible to ride trolleybuses in SP. Comes with a small span of "wires". Poles are fully turnable, allowing to move from under wires like on a real machine. Pull off gently first time so shoes will turn parallel to "wires" and won't explode (exploding trolleybus poles tho. Hyper-realistic)

Driving tip: use roll controls for steering (they've been reassigned for convinience, it doesn't fly anyway). Recommended speed is 15-20 mph until I improve shoes.

    I'm thinking of making an "inverted wire" system. It's much more far away from real schemes, but should work better. Basically, it'll be wheel on pole (or even just a cylinder, there's no pressure upwards there anyway) rolling in a wire which will have "rails"

    @goboygo1 Yeah, on my tablet. Used one XML mod when setting "wire" length to 50, then made a subassembly of one pole with a couple of long wires. Then just added them. So it's just 91 parts

    @grizzlitn Thanks!
    @goboygo1 yeah, I want it to be longer, I just got lazy so it's ~700m yet only. If I'll continue the project, I should modify shoes, they're derailing too often (and with a nice boom!) then I'll think about implementing curves
