Really great that the Seattle monorail was added to Cities Skylines, thank you for creating and adding this

This is so cool! I love the imagery you created with the text, I can't wait to put my city on the map with one of these. It's so retro futuristic. It's a shame they aren't used more but I'm glad a few of them live on still on that street.

Love riding this every chance I get...wished they did more with it . Nice job with the design

Thank you, good sir (or ma'am). This will help my city feel more like my home

Well if North Haverbrook and Ogdenville have got them, then my city is getting a monorail too!

FYI, as a Seattle native, this looks pretty much just like the real thing. NICE WORK!

Absolutely GREAT - Rode this at the opening of the Seattle Worlds Fair...
Excellent work as always, Sir. Thanks -

Thanks. I'll keep experimenting with it and if I figure anything out I'll let you know, just for reference.

@|TG-Irr| Aufklarer - very interesting. I haven't experienced that problem, and in fact, the setup you described is exactly the setup I used to take the screenshots above, without issue. I'll keep an eye out for the bug on my end, but no idea what it could be caused by.

Yep! Vanilla stations for the monorail. I wasn't using anarchy for the curves or anything either. My track leaves the station at a pretty slight curve, and the default cars as well as the INNOVIA cars (can't remember the authors name) all work fine. I've also tried it with several layouts. The cars only bunch up and glitch when the line completes and "resets". If I have a line with 2 stops connected in a back and forth linear fashion, not a loop, the car leaves Stop #1, enters stop #2, successfully turns around as expected in Stop #2, returns to Stop #1, but then when it goes to leave Stop #1 again, it bunches. Other than using Metro Overhaul Mod I don't use anything that modifies lines in any way and I feel like MoM wouldn't have an impact on Monorails.

I don't expect you to sit around working on a fix if it's just a problem I'm having but thought it was worth a mention anyway. Thanks for the beautiful asset, even if I can't use it at the moment.

@|TG-Irr| Aufklarer - I haven't had that issue. Are you using the vanilla monorail stations?
Aufklarer 30 Jul, 2017 @ 9:48am 
So I love this model, but if you use it on a point to point Monorail track (not a loop) when it reverses direction it bunches up on itself and glitches into a big ol' ball of steel at the end of the station, and won't go away unless you delete the vehicle manually with a vehicle editor or transit mod or rebuild the station.

Riding this monorail was a fun and memorable experience. Thx for making it! :medkit:

HOW do you people do this stuff?? I'm like trying to model in Blender and oml it isn't cooperating...

This is Fantastic I live in Seattle and ride the monorail a lot. Great work!
Londsw 21 May, 2017 @ 11:52pm 
nice old monorail
robeet 21 May, 2017 @ 9:22pm 
@bsquiklehausen much better :)

So then, "mono" means one, and "rail" means rail! And that concludes our intensive three-week course.

@HavoKForce - Oops! I didn't even know I could do that! Fixed now.
robeet 21 May, 2017 @ 2:03pm 
Ehm it looks fantastic but shouldn't it require mass transit?

I remember riding the Seattle monorail. My dad took me once when we were visiting my grandmother.

Another part of Seattle transit recreation complete. Spectacular work!

Gold job mate! :)

The thing is though, at Disney World, the monorails are considered Transit, not theme park rides. I just suggested the Disneyland monorail, because it has a nice sleek look.
Kodybod 21 May, 2017 @ 12:13pm 
cool also will you make the sound transit link light rail for the MOM mod and the streetcars in downtown Seattle?
bsquiklehausen  [author] 21 May, 2017 @ 11:53am 
@meapcity - I do want to make something like those ships, so yes! It'll probably be more of a hybrid between the Washington State Ferries and the Staten Island Ferry, but expect something like that someday.
Kodybod 21 May, 2017 @ 11:52am 
can you make the Washington state ferry? i'd like the one that goes from Southworth to West Seattle
bsquiklehausen  [author] 21 May, 2017 @ 11:50am 
@nace888 - I'm probably going to leave the Disney monorails for someone else - I'm not super interested in theme park trains and whatnot - actual transit is much more up my alley!
nace888 21 May, 2017 @ 11:44am 
I know I asked REV0, but maybe you could try making the Mark VII monorail at Disneyland? They are descendants of the Alweg monorail!
