*** ATTENTION: SETUP INSTRUCTIONS IN THE VIDEO ***

Following blueprints required:

Omicron Exress Track A (track module):

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1620762448


Omicron Express Station (train station):

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1620764317



The future is here! Dubrovnik Dynamics proudly presents the "Omicron Express Functional Hover Rail System".

Connect your main base or luxury residence with other facilities across the planet. Take up to 24 friends as passengers with you!

Step into the cockpit, hit cruise control, lean back and enjoy your ride through the landscape upon the elevated hover track.

Riding a train never was more comfortable than now!

Our engineers are proud of their breakthrough on the hover rail technology, though they haven´t invented curves yet *cough*


Known issues:

Train might get stuck once in a while. Haven´t yet discovered the reason why. Try to stay at an hover height of 1.00 meters and little above. If getting stuck, press O and try again. Cruise control works very fine.

If you place a track segment in survival mode, beware of the fact that the command ´si off´ doesn´t seem to work. So each time you spawn another track segment, make sure that you place the small solar panel BEFORE positioning the track with the setposition command. Sometimes adding the solar panel causes a pillar to collapse.

What have found so far is if make a track section using combat steel and transition from the standard track section you drop speed or even stop dead. Also, anything along side the track like walkways can cut your speed in half (experimenting with trestle sections).

Been doing some experimenting with the halting issue, at least in RE2 (What can I say, I have a thing for trains). If I change the track sections so they are a consistent material and block size, the halting appears to be much less. Seems to be hit point related?

More experimenting to be done.

As I watched your video, I caught myself sitting here with my mouth open, in amazement. Nicely done!

It's amazing that it's still working. If stuck, press and hold the O and W keys at the same time! Your works are my favorites! Looking forward to your next work!

That Omicron Express is a more than 2 year old build. I had to deal with the stopping issue as well. The solution to this is to raise the hover height to a certain point, like shown in the video. It always worked fine. Maybe after all the time and newer versions of Empyrion it might have changed. But I didn't test it yet, coz .man, that build is over 2 years old....

nice idea but its not working as it is , cause the train stops regularly and needs to press O C space bar and so on , more press more it gose out of the track
