Hey guys! I'm making a map!
I've finally decided to create a WIP thread for the bad boy I'm cooking up for you guys.
First things first:
Where is the map based?
Deeside, North Wales. Specifically Connah's Quay to Chester
How many routes will it have?
1, possibly two. Depends if I feel like it would be worth it.
What routes and where to?
Well, the map will definitely contain the Route 12. An hour journey which is very awkwardly routed in comparison to other local routes. Running from Connah's Quay to Chester. The other potential route will be the locally popular Route 10. Also running from Connah's Quay to Chester, but in quite a different way, only taking approximately 45 minutes.
What buses are used?
Route 12 - In reality, Optare Solo's are used, as well as Dennis Dart's, sometimes Wright Cadets and very occasionally a Wright Pulsar. Of course, no high quality versions of these buses are available at the moment, therefore, Renown's and Eclipse 1.5's. Also, I will be using the Dennis Dart as AI as I feel its a great bus to have as AI.
Route 10 - In reality, E400's are used, with occasional Pulsar. Therefore, thats what will be used. C400R and the Eclipse 1.5
Current Development
I almost forgot! AI Routes! There are actually a fair few routes that pass through the area I am building, but don't terminate there. These will be AI driven for now... but who knows, if the map is a success, I may incorporate these additional areas into the map, creating a much better experience.
PLEASE NOTE:
I take extreme pride in what I will be creating and will NOT be rushed. There are already things that I have created that will be redone because of petty little details which will drive me insane.
I'd also like to say, development will be a little slow over the first month or so, simply because of Sixth Form commitments. Simply said, If I fail my mock exams in December, I get kicked off the course, so I obviously have to prioritise that.
But with that said...
Lets get to work!
