The most fun I had was when I landed in Frankfurt and took an ICE train to Munich. That was the most fun I had in a while, just to look out of a window early in the morning while the train goes 300km/h.
Your video is very good General Tso, the video image looks bright and flawless, the tracks look very good without exaggeration in curves and the straight tracks well, mix well the curved tracks and the straight tracks at all times and smoothly in the connections of these, I hope you continue to upload more videos in cabin mode to know news in mods in your creation, greetings
5:02 now that's a photogenic view. Epic!! 6:11 where are the passengers??? They can't say that have seen true beauty till they go on the train and witness the beauty of trains and nature first hand. 7:30 Oooo what beauty is that may I ask? True Beauty that's what! 8:38 Aaaaaand I've just proven myself wrong.. 9:13 Bwoaaaaaah How is this even possible??? How can this beauty be even made??? 13:58 We need more of this!!! 20:39 ooo pretty station.
I Just realized that I may have a better answer to your question. Sorry about that. I was half asleep when I answered the first time. After you create a switch that is the intersection of two tracks (x connection not y connection). You can click on the switch and change it to a double slip switch. However if the angle is to great then the double slip switch option will not be available.
Can you make a series by building railway lines like the ones on your maps? I love seeing how beautiful and functional your railroads are and wanted to do something similar on my maps.
I'd be kind of interested in sharing how to do things. But unfortunately I'm not any good at making those type of videos. Sorry about that. There are already some TF2 videos out there. If you are looking for specific answers. Try doing a search. You might be surprised. If I had a single suggestion. I'd say don't Get overwhelmed and try to create the whole map at once. Just start with a small area, make it as perfect as possible. Then start adding and changing things one at a time.
Is there a specific mod for the station at 20:55? I've looked through the steam workshop and can't seem to find it. It looks like the upper platform level are through tracks and the lower level are termination tracks?
I can't remember exactly which station that is. But I got all of my station mods from these two places... steamcommunity.com/app/1066780/workshop/ and www.transportfever.net/ If I remember correctly the upper platforms where optional. (I had to click on an option in the station mod's in game menu to activate them.) So the upper platform might not always be visible when looking at pictures of stations when deciding what mod to download. I apologize for taking so long to reply. Somehow I missed your message the first time around.
Thank you. I'm in the process of uploading a video from a new map and hopefully it will be ready soon. It has a lot of really big cities. :) Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I just noticed your message for the first time.
I have 200 mods or so active for that map and many of them are not in English. So I ended up loosing track of where things came from. And I can't open that map to check things out because one of the necessary mods was removed from Steam and the map doesn't work at the moment. So I can't answer you question directly. But I can tell you where I got the mod. I most likely got it from here. -> www.transportfever.net/filebase/index.php?filebase/80-transport-fever-2/ There are several possible locations on this page that might contain that mod. But you should probably check the More Mods/building page first. There is also a small chance that I got it from the Steam workshop. So If you can't find it at transportfever.net then you might want to check there. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Thank you. I'm glad you like the video. I never bothered sharing the save game because it uses close to 200 mods and I figured nobody would want to go through that much hassle. Also several of those mods are now no longer available.
I forgot to mention in the original reply that I have tried Cities Skylines. But for some reason I can't get it to look right on my PC. The colors are off and the graphics look bland. Even when I set all of the settings to the max. (Which is where I usually keep them anyway.) Screen shots and videos from other people are much better quality.
@@General_Tso I had the same problem with the graphics until I watched this video: th-cam.com/video/Ip3adtXmfr4/w-d-xo.html by Pres (he is a well respected youtuber in the Cities: Skylines community). Now my game looks very realistic for screenshots and recordings. Hope this helps
Sorry, I tried looking for the mod but I can't find it. I get all of my mods from two places. The Steam Workshop and transportfever.net. So it should be available at one of those two places. Trying to manage mods in Transport Fever is a real headache for me. Sorry I couldn't help you more. If at a later time, I figure out which mod it was, I'll post the name here.
Sorry this the only "real" train line on this map. The other ones are for appearance sakes. Most of them are relatively short and pass through unfinished scenery. But thank you for asking! I started limiting my maps to one "real" line because as the map fills up the frame rate on my PC goes down. So I get better results with just one good line per map. I was really disappointed in how TH-cam TV screwed up this video and made it less clear when they processed it. But I still hope to build some more maps and make videos in the near future.
That was my fault. I must have forgotten to take care of that problem when making this video. If I had thought about it. I would have gotten rid of them. The bird sounds can be removed manually by messing around with files or you can use a mod... steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2885782343&searchtext=bird+sound
It's a bummer that there are no passengers. But with the way I did things. I had no choice. As you can see in the video. I designed the line to cover the whole map with the stops being spaced real far apart. And single track is used in many areas. So the number of trains that can operate on the line is very limited. If I let the train pickup passengers. There ends up being a very large mass of passengers at each station and it looked unrealistic. So I changed things so that the train isn't carrying any people. That way there are no unrealistic large masses of people at each station. It was the best compromise I could come up with.
It's in the TF2 download section of www.transportfever.net/ I can't give you a direct link to the depot at the moment because it appears that the web site is experiencing some problems.
@@MarcoTorrance I think they are depots. With some of them the option is available to place them both as a depot and as a asset. I just found these depots on Steam. (I forgot that they where available at more than one place.) Here are the links... steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1978147642 steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2004289029
Yup. That's why I called it a scenic tour. It's no good for anything else. :) For what it's worth my current map I'm working on is the exact opposite. I have a bunch of lines each making over 100 million a year with two of them making well over 300 million. I'm not the best TF2 player by far. But that's a lot for me.
Unfortunately that wouldn't work. The map includes hundreds of mods. Including a few custom mods I made for my own use and can't upload because they contain stuff from other people's mods. Even without the custom mods. There would probably be problems with some of the older mods. Sorry about that.
@@artikostudios1136 It's been so long since I made that video that I don't remember the map size. And I can't open that map anymore to check. But I'm sure it isn't megalomanic because I've never used that size. I'm guessing it was either a large or very large map. It looks larger because I spent a lot of time packing things together. The line you are riding on actually twists around a lot so that it runs close to itself in many areas. I just used things like mountains, cities, and trees to block the view.

You are a true Transport Fever 2 artist, how long did it take to create this map ?
Thank you! It took about 6 months on and off.

How do you make the track switches at the very start where it looks like you can go on all 4 tracks while only being in a straight line?
