Maps Blackpool (1 Viewer)

Welcome to my map for OMSI of Blackpool and the surrounding areas served by Blackpool Transport. The map is based around 2011 and will be as close to the real thing as I can get it.

Initially the map will focus on the Line 3 which runs between Mereside Tesco and Cleveleys Park. As time goes on I will add more lines, but am focusing on the Line 3 to begin with.

I have started work at Tesco Mereside and am working towards the town centre and then onwards towards Bispham and then Cleveleys.

In real life the Line 3 operated using Optare Solos, however as there are no legal Optare Solos out there, I have repainted the Enviro 200 for now.

Coming along nicely indeed! this has definitely added itself onto my watch list, and it's great that you're creating your own buildings. I'll be looking forward to seeing your skills develop even further, i can certainly see a big difference from the beginning, and it's only been 2 months!

Few more screenshots of a few buildings I've made around the town centre.

On a side note...I've had a few people messaging me asking if they can be a beta tester, or when the maps going to be released.

Simply put, there is no beta copy or any beta testers. I am not recruiting any beta testers at the moment and I will advertise in this thread if/when the times comes

With regards to release dates, so far I've laid the road from Mereside Tesco to the town centre, I've placed the custom buildings along this route, however still need to place houses, road markings etc.

So the map is nowhere near finished and so won't be released for a while. However I will post all updates on this thread.

The progress looks good, always good to see the level of detail and care going into these maps, especially for little/no reward at the end of it.

Keep up the good work, will look forward to driving this one once its all sorted.

Thanks! Ultimately I started making this map for myself and my own enjoyment as I wanted to drive this particular route, however I decided to post it up here for others to enjoy. So my reward willl be driving it myself!

Even better then that you get to benefit from all the effort you put in yourself, its always a good feeling.

Well in that case I shall amend my previous statement, and I'll enjoy watching the map continue to evolve as you progress.
 
Ive re made the buildings along Tablot Road, made them more 3D etc

The Llyouds Pharmacy needs shrinking as its far too big, also there seems to be a texture glitch. But thats a job for another day!

Aside from this, I've laid most of the road down for the entire line 3 route. Took me a considerable amount of time, and still have finished some of the more complex junctions. Not a lot to show really as its mainly roads, but a few shots just to document progress.

Hard to see whats going on, but its a 4 way traffic light controlled junction with tram crossing in Cleveleys

This is just prior to the main junction in Cleveleys

This is the main Cleveleys junction, as you can see it has 2 lanes of one way traffic each side of the tram track.

Note about trams: At the moment the tram track is just "rail track" as I have no plans at present to include the tram line as drivable. I may include it as AI but intially I'll more than likely just place static models strategically along the track at stops.

@Blackpool_OMSI The rework, looks 100 times better than the original. The level of detail is going up, and fast. The only one criticism I have, is the road-markings seem completely incorrect in places. The Bus Lane border lines are far too thick, and I'm not too sure what was going on when you were doing the chevrons?

However, I think your main focus now is getting the buildings done, and they do look very good. There is nothing stopping this being one of the best maps in progress. Just make sure the quality holds out across the whole map :)

The bus lane white lines are quite thick in real life here

I have however swapped them out with thinner ones

Chevrons....not quite sure what you mean? They are there in real life?
