An idea...

Hi all,

I recently got my Jubilee line route running in OpenBVE (And OpenBVE working at all!).

I was thinking though, using the pretrain, would it be possable to have invisable track coming round in a loop after the station then back into the platform, and while waiting at the red signal before the crossover have it come out the platform and over the X-Over infront of you?

Hmmm, would be interesting, but the fact is that we can´t still change switches, so your idea won´t work until we can select where to go with our train.

Several years ago, when I was starting with BVE 2, I thought a way to make the line in the other direction:

By connecting an invisible loop from the "ending" of the line to it´s "oposite" side. This way the train could easily go around through an invisible curve to the other platform. :)

My point is, the blue is a continuation of the running rail, that comes back and over the X-Over infront of you...

Hmmm assuming the draw distance is long enough it would work in theorey, but the draw distance would have to be long enough to cover the distance from the point you watch the train cross in front, go round the curve, back through the station platform and over the crossover, which at charing Cross is going to be well over 2000m at a conservative estimate. Not a problem in the tunnel sections, but a 2000m draw distance at Neasden or Wembley Park would be a frame-rate killer.
