Thanks to Steven who made a lot of dutch buildings, I've decided to re-build the Centre of Bronsmeer. It's not done yet but you get a feeling how it will be if it's finished. And to make the driving more fun, I make the steets narrower =D

Met dank aan Steven die heel veel Nederlandse gebouwen heefd gemaakt heb ik besloten het Centrum van Bronsmeer te herbouwen. Het is nog niet af maar je krijgt wel een indruk hoe het wordt. Ook maak ik de straten smaller zodat het rijden nog leuker en uitdagender wordt =D

I received many questions about the release dates of the 2 current projects. I will explain here why, what and when.

Something I didn't like in V1 of the map was the route map. I like to make good quality add-ons but that was one of the things that was just made fast without things like distance between stops. 

So I decided to make a new one. But with good quality! I've used the national color style for this type of maps and used an big screenshot of the map to fit the distances. It will be an vector image so you don't see pixels (even at the highest zoom level). I'm at this moment busy with it so you will see more update's in the next hours. 

Update 20:30

Update 21:19

And some new development news! I'm trying to make the map ready to publish before the end of the year but there is still many work to do. 

First the update of today. After some hours trying and editing in blender and sketchup, it's finally working! I've made new bus stop signs and city border signs. Those signs are used in many dutch cities so I did choose these. 

I did also some environment work. I've gifted Bronsmeer Busstation an facelift, added some trees and windmills at empty country sides, changed stop Overhuizen kerk. The traffic goes now via the old bus stop and the buses on the old road. I did that because the buses otherwise stands diagonal at the stop. And I did also change the bridge at IJsseldam. This because the bridge was to steep to klimb if there lay snow.

Yes, I'm still busy with making the new version. I have recorded the timetable's of line 124 and finished the route of that line. The line drive's his normal route as it is now from Heeringen via Overhuizen, Bronsmeer, Heimeer to Ijsseldam. From there the bus drive to Heimeer plein and goes via the county roads to Liswoudde and goes than over some very narrow roads to Zuiderwaard NS train station. And from there it drive's the whole route back.
Here are the time table stats:

Line 124 from Heeringen to Zuiderwaard:
Total trip time: 50,33 minutes
Total stops: 38

Line 124 from Zuiderwaard to Heeringen:
Total trip time: 50,08 minutes
Total stops: 35

Here the update of today, I've made a connection between Liswoudde and Veerdal. More information this evening.

Yes, I'm still busy with the new version of Bronsmeer. It's getting bigger, better and nicer. The length of the new route's isn't decided yet. I'm not sure if I make more route's with a length of 30 minutes or 3 or 4 route's with a length of more than 50 minutes or a combination of both, I'm not sure. If it's going to be more shorter routes it will be look like this:
Line 124 Heeringen - Overhuizen - Bronsmeer - Heimeer - Ijsseldam |30 min.
Line 130 Ijsseldam - Heimeer - Bronsmeer - Droosden (Ringline with line 131) |15 min.
Line 131 Droosden - Overhuizen - Heeringen - Veerdal - Ijsseldam (Ringline with line 130)|25 min.
Line 126 Veerdal - Ijsseldam - Heimeer - Liswoudde - Zuiderwaard - Noorderwaard - ??? |30 min.
Line 143 Ijsseldam - Liswoudde - Zuiderwaard - Noorderwaard - Noorderwaard Zoo |40 min.

Line 324 Zuiderwaard - Liswoudde - Ijsseldam - Veerdal - Heeringen |40 min.
Line 326 Zuiderwaard - Liswoudde - Ijsseldam - Heimeer - Bronsmeer - Heeringen |45 min.
These line's make a 4 time's / hour trip between Zuiderwaard, Ijsseldam and Heeringen. 2 time's trough Bronsmeer and 2 time's trough Veerdal.

When I chose to make longer but less line's it will be looking like this:
Line 124 Heeringen - Overhuizen - Droosden - Bronsmeer - Heimeer - Ijsseldam - Liswoudde - Zuiderwaard - Noorderwaard - ??? |60 min.
Line 131 Heeringen - Veerdal - Ijsseldam - Heimeer - Bronsmeer - Droosden - Heeringen (Ringline) |50 min.
Line 443 Heeringen - Veerdal - Ijsseldam - Bronsmeer - Heimeer - Liswoudde - Zuiderwaard - Noorderwaard - Noorderwaard Zoo - ??? |80 min.

Line 324 Zuiderwaard - Liswoudde - Ijsseldam - Veerdal - Heeringen |40 min.
Line 326 Zuiderwaard - Liswoudde - Ijsseldam - Heimeer - Bronsmeer - Heeringen |45 min.
These line's make a 4 time's / hour trip between Zuiderwaard, Ijsseldam and Heeringen. 2 time's trough Bronsmeer and 2 time's trough Veerdal.


As you can see it's getting bigger and bigger! Here are some screens, have a nice day!
