Hi Guys ,
This is a simple request , so I will endeavour to make it simply.
We all love a variety of ground targets , and I feel that this one would add some excellent immersion to the larger cities
populating all the great maps of this game.
Has anyone modeled a 1930s or 40s electric tram car ?
Here is a nice example from Manila in the Philippines :
I will refrain from searching out and trying to list the cities which used such vehicles to get the population around - suffice it to say these were ubiquitous to most metropolitan cities world-round.
Salzburg , Austria :
There is some possibility that such a mod has already been made and included in one of the recent modpacks.
I still fly HSFX7.0.3 for my own reasons which only HSFX satisfies , so if you know of such a mod , please inform me
of which modpack and under what name it exists , but kindly refrain from suggesting I move to a newer modpack.
How do I envision this mod ?
Such a vehicle could be included in the vehicular list , but in my mind best fits into the train category. I won't be picky.
A model could be made , or an existing object , such as Locomotive D-311A* , or D-311B* could be substituted ,
repainted , and an electrode added.
There should be a Chief.ini version , whether Train or Vehicle , and a Stationary , and a destroyed version ( any existing destroyed
locomotive could be substituted to save work , but ideally an original could be created.
The trick would be getting the occasinal spark to appear from the electrode.
The spark already exists in the game in certain wheels up landing situations, so I wonder if this art and effect could be adapted ,
rather than re-inventing the wheel ?
If anyone wanted to get fancy , versions could be made for a singleton car , or a double :
Anyhow , I though this would be interesting and utile.
I hope someone else does/has.
