[M^3] ElectricBus,and more news
We're very lucky to be one of the winners in the Modding Contest again,
Thanks to all your support!!!


1. About new DLC and e-bus
As you all can see, the new e-bus DLC is out and we're converting our existing models to electric. The Volvo BZLs are ready now, and we have updated it with license plate, fleet number and destination display. We're improving the Electroliner model and also an EV version of Metrodecker and a 8.9m MetroCity.

We also received some information from the official that some of our buses cannot fit under the roofed charging bay. We're working on it and please report to us if any of our bus mod is having similar problem. Hopefully we can sort it out for you.

2. Another re-model project
We've decided to re-model the ALX400 and 500. Possibly generate a ALX200 and open top ALX400&500 in the progress.
Furthermore, we'll update the Volvo B10 series as well...and there will be more models of B10M and B10TL. Including a Short B10TL (KMB ASV) and the B10BLE CNG with Volgren body (SBS).

To avoid chaos in repaints, we will upload the new template to our Facebook and GoogleDrive before the update.

3. More classics
The Olympian and Dennis Dominator project is still in progress.
We aim to finish all Hong Kong variants.
(More Leyland Olympian is coming next week!)

And as the AEC RM is quite successful, we have decided to do a RMC and maybe another half-cab later on. And as some of you mentioned a Fleetline, we may also do one.

Hi 7om,

Thanks for the update. That's great news. I was wondering if I could ask a cheeky request. Is there any chance that I could have a copy of your unity files for the Metrobus Mk1 and 2. The reason that I ask is that I'd like to add number plates, destination signs and fleet numbers to my own workshop West Midlands paint schemes, Unfortunately, mine are all located a little differently to yours. These will be for my personal use only, unless you give me permission to release them (with all credit going to you).

@ICOL2399WMP

Thank you for raising this issue. I'm sorry to disappoint you that we're not offering our unity files at the moment. In fact, when this new function came out, I got the same question in my mind.

Even back in 80s Hong Kong, Bus company would put their plate and destination board on different locations of the bus. And I find this a nightmare when I try to recreate the fleet back then. Moreover, digital destination display won't suit buses in this era. These classic British buses also ran in many different countries and they all have a slightly different variant.

Therefore, I've decided not to use this function on older buses. If the developers would allow players to locate plates and displays, that would be a lot better.

Hi 7om, thanks for the reply. I'm glad to hear that I wasn't the only one with those concerns and, that you've taken the decision not to add the new functions to the older buses. I can breathe easy!

I agree, it would definitely be easier if players were allowed to use this function. Especially for those of us who to seek to recreate paint schemes as close as possible to the originals. Hopefully, this is something that might be implemented in the future by the developer. Unfortunately, it would appear that even modern buses suffer the same issues with variations. You only have to google the ALX400 for example. It appears that there are at least two variations of that vehicle!

Anyway, again thank you for taking the time to reply and for your continued hard work and contribution to the CBM community.

Merry Xmas

Ian
