NYCTA line C
Description:
Line C in New York's subway (8th Avenue line and Fulton Street line, both former IND), for the class R-160A subway trains. The simulated line starts at a track in the 174th Street Depot at northern Manhattan, from which the train goes to the 168th Street station at Manhattan to start revenue service. Revenue service ends at the Euclid Avenue station in Brooklyn, from which the train is moved off service to a track towards Pitkin Avenue Depot to change direction. Detailed line, both stations and trackside! Soft curves and realistic switches, announcement of all stations and connections.Vehicle:

There are more objects to download for this line than is mentioned on the route's download page. This route uses the6thAveand
LisaRaye2object packs. The route also uses the object directory
LefShut. It cannot be separately downloaded but is included with the A line. All archives listed in the "Download from"-section below and are needed to get this route to display the graphics properly.
However, there are also needs for objects that are not present in the object directory 6thAve
even if it is downloaded. Also in the object directories included with the route, 8thAve
and ind 8th avenue
, there are objects missing.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of graphic errors in this route when using it with the most recent version of OpenBVE:
- Almost all signals along the line are missing.
-
A facing switch at the exit from station 59th Street/Columbus Circle looks like it leads to the diverting track, but the train is going on the straight track. That can be fixed by editing the route definition file, changing the graphic object representing the switch:
At line 20800 there is a lot of code. Change the original file's
@freeobj(0,1413,0,0,0)to@freeobj(0,1407,0,0,0)and then save the altered file and you are done. - At the exit of the station Canal Street a cross-over with four switches is broken.
- At the exit of the station Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets a cross-over with four switches is broken.
- At the exit of the station Euclid Avenue three switches are broken.
- At the lay-up track beyond the station Euclid Avenue a cross-over with four switches is totally missing.

This simulation seems to be an update of an update of The NYCTBA Team's simulation, mainly changing a lot of textures to give a better look.Download from:
