Alstom Avelia Liberty / Acela II (11 Cars)
Operational Livery, Current Version
[docs.google.com]Avelia Liberty, also known as the Acela II, is a high-speed passenger train built for the North American market by French manufacturer Alstom and assembled in the United States. Amtrak has ordered 28 trainsets for use on its flagship Acela service along the Northeast Corridor between Boston and Washington, D.C., via New York City and Philadelphia.
It is part of the Avelia family of high-speed trains, which also includes the Avelia Horizon designed for the TGV, but adapted to conform with North American railroad standards, including U.S. Federal Railroad Administration crashworthiness standards. Amtrak says that compared to the prior generation, these trainsets would allow for improved frequency and greater capacity on the Acela service.
- TEXTURE SHARED: Trailers share materials, use LSM to optimize loading times.
- ADDITIVE SHADER: Headlights are lit
- AUTOMATIC PANTOGRAPHS: Pantographs switch states based on direction.
- ANIMATED ARTICULATIONS: Gangways are articulated for realism.
- 260km/h operational speed
- 52 passengers per car.
- Custom and optimized LOD
- Detailed textures, down to misalignmend, non flipped fin and other weird stuff on real train.
- Improved Public Transport 2: To assign it to custom train lines.
- Additive Shader: For functional headlights.
– Trainset is 9 cars + 2 engines.
– It features 1:1 accurate pantograph height, that is only possible with Railway 2. You can use it on other networks, but pantograph will clip through.
