Hey All,
Decided that I'm going to post most Aussiex updates on here, the aussiex page will be updated from time to time, however I think it will be better to support the UKDT. Big thanks to Whistlehead for introducing to this forum, loving the format!

Been working away at the project and I have about 80% of roads in the game, 10/11 bus routes have been timetabled already and the main focus on the next month is improving the quality from the beta and developing the buses and scenery.

EDIT (whistlehead):
For those who don't know (doubt there's many) this is a payware addon in development which Rhys here has been working on for some time, and which will include a number of real routes and buses from London :)

EDIT (Road-hog123):
NOTE: As a result of a server crash during 2016, all prior attachments were lost. This included the screenshots at the beginning of this thread. As such, I've removed a little over 20 pages at the beginning of the thread up to the first working images. What's removed wasn't really indicative of the current map progress anyhow.

What about the Gemini Hybrid sounds?
Yeah, they've been improved over the week by Ratti (The sound guy for the Gemini 2 B5LH bus). Just looking at ways to implement the stop start feature.

Been making model improvements on my side at the same time. The model changes will also be done to the B9TL whenever I get some free time

So I've spent the past 4 weeks perfecting areas around Waterloo Bridge & The South Bank,

The South Bank had the most complex buildings in the map, and I had left them to be developed last, and I'm rather impressed with the outcome!

I'll be adding the final little details just before release.

So, to answer some frequently asked questions:
Q: Are there any updates?
A: Look back through the thread. Can you see any updates since the last one? There's your answer.
Q: Will there be an update today/tonight?
A: If there has not been an update by 00:00 tomorrow, then you can safely assume there will have been no updates today.
Q: When's the release date?
A: Somewhere between tomorrow and the inevitable heat death of the universe.

A: Too many.
Q: Did writing this post and removing the many variants of the questions in this FAQ take time away from me developing the C400?
A: Yes.

Go-Ahead London Camberwell Bus Garage & Abellio Walworth Garage

Both garages are situated in Camberwell, only across the road from each other. I've spent the past 2 weeks completely revamping the area as well as improving road-textures to make them a little bit more dirtier.

After visiting Camberwell Garage back in summer, I realised at the time I had built things very inaccurately, I vowed to myself to completely rebuild the garage to represent Go-Ahead London pretty well. Likewise with Abellio's Walworth garage.

The garages feature a bus wash, and refuelling station, as well as inspection pits to make ensure there are a variety of features. I shall be showing off more of what the garages have to offer in the new trailer.

Thanks and if you look here on Google Maps, you can see Camberwell Garage, Go-Ahead London's Biggest Garage, is situated between Camberwell Station Road and Warner Road, with an exit coming out on Camberwell New Road, and with Abellio's Walworth Garage, Abellio London's Head Office, you can see its situated between Camberwell Road and Medlar Street with an exit coming out on Camberwell New Road :tongueout:. And only the Gemini 2 will have a static bus as well. I'll leave the SRM for now as its not officially used by any of the driveable operators.

Sorry for asking but what happened to the Citybus 400 Hybrid?

That's on hold for an indefinite period right now, it's one of the vehicles to be supplanted in the addon by the SRM and B5LH. It should be a relatively simple task to modify the current version into it, at least compared to some of the other variants which would be possible, as the interior, dashboard and most of the exterior can stay largely unchanged. It's pretty much a matter of getting around to it, and obviously extra workload is not something we're after right now :P

So the Gemini 3 replaces the SRM in the add-on following quality issues with the SRM.

The Gemini 3 originally started off as a side project that I would work on during my breaks from London. As the bus started to take more shape, the quality exceeded the SRM by far and I made a decision to oust the SRM for the time being (that will need a complete rebuild when the NRM gets its rebuild post-London release).

The Gemini 3 interior shots shall come in another post. One of the key features on the "London Citybus" Gemini 3 is that it has been fitted with is a partial skylight roofing.

The main focus from here-on forward is polishing the map to ensure a release date is soon :)
