[On Hold] [Free] Photon Rear Engine Buses [90s - Current]

[manic osprey]

Photon Rear Engine Buses

Release maybe around the end of this year. 🎄☃️

Planning on having 3 or more generations and on having 40+ Configurations from basic transit models too decked out military models.

Current progress

What needs to be done:

• Chassis mesh (Frame and suspension)

• Interior (interior design, dash mesh, seat mesh, small detail parts)

• Mirrors (Crossviews and more Body mirrors)

• New Rim models

• Polish (Bugfixes, Fixing model errors, Remodeling placeholder models, Fixing sounds, Fixing and replacing textures, tuning look and feel.)

• Configs (Parts, Components, Thumbnails, Info and PC files.)

• Wipers (because Rortify and JonF will come to my house and break my computer if I don't)

[paper hearth]

I'm confuse what is this.

[solar crow]

The signal things

[manic osprey]

Mounts for the school bus lights, I haven't made them yet.

[paper hearth]

That's a long boi

[paper hearth]

I think the overhang abit too long, but maybe that just the angle

[manic osprey]

i'll consider making a short version of the covers

[keen quartz]

nah theyre machine guns

the bus is apocalypse ready

[solar crow]

Nice bus!

[drowsy cloud]

Machine gun mounts😎

[desert sable]

Excited

[covert flower]

Is this LHD or RHD

[solar crow]

I suppose this is LHD.

[manic osprey]

LHD

[floral trench]

@oak creek Adding the bot 🤖

[amber spruce]

@manic osprey any chance for a long-nose version?

[manic osprey]

idk maybe later on

[solar crow]

Will it have an RHD version, and European/Asian/international models?

We have another lore-friendly bus! Looking forward to it.

[manic osprey]

Wouldn't be a bad idea

[covert flower]

Oh yeah will it use the destination controller mod

Or bus display controller I kinda forgot what it was called

[amber spruce]

I’m craving for a school bus 😛

[bronze sphinx]

This is looking mighty fine!

[hazy surge]

what engine options will it have? vanilla engines or custom ones?

[manic osprey]

I plan on having vanilla engines and custom engines

[hazy surge]

nice

[white berry]

Looks nice

[manic osprey]

First skin for the mud flaps

[frigid sparrow]

niice

[amber spruce]

This is gonna go along well with the H-series school bus

[drowsy cloud]

I gotta be honest I’ve never heard or seen mudflaps on the front bumper

[proper osprey]

you could sneak a few sneaky jets in there cause how big those are

[manic osprey]

Redoing the jbeam on the body because I forgot to back up the jbeam before editing it in NodeBeam 😭

(I broke it in NodeBeam)

[paper hearth]

💀

[brave thorn]

Ik what the he,l

[manic osprey]

With the power of that over 9000 turbo I can get this bus up too 150 miles per hour 💀

[manic osprey]

Yk those show trucks, gonna have a "show truck" config with some of the most random crap that you have ever seen 💀

Got the offroad suspension done too

[frigid sparrow]

speed

[torn imp]

game needs more things like this. there used to be 2 schoolbus mods but they're way outdated now

[peak pond]

Why are the light overhang things so long

It looks so strange

[manic osprey]

The ones on old amtrans are longer 💀

[peak pond]

Weird

are they long like that on the rear too?

[manic osprey]

yes

[peak pond]

Really weird, but eh who cares

[manic osprey]

.

also a option for no "lashes"

[amber spruce]

Girl nails be like

[manic osprey]

say ong

[frigid sparrow]

short

[peak sparrow]

Extremely common on both buses and trucks

[drowsy cloud]

I’ve seen something like it on trucks but buses not really

[peak sparrow]

American buses have them

[drowsy cloud]

Proof?

[torn imp]

i live in america, i've never seen a bus with mudflaps on the front bumper

[peak sparrow]

Huh, might've been a false memory

[torn imp]

even if they did, what’s even the point lol

mudflaps are to prevent the wheels from throwing dirt behind the vehicle

[solar crow]

Sorry, I've added you by accident.

[peak sparrow]

They lower drag

And also for aesthetics

[ionic pollen]

cause these buses reverse very fast

[hazy surge]

yep, even normal SUVs have something like that

[snow mist]

The mud flaps in front of the tires are because dirt and mud and stuff gets thrown forward as well as backwards

If there’s enough stuff it’ll kinda bounce off the road and onto the front of the vehicle

[manic osprey]

^
especially if the vehicle is lifted

[frigid sparrow]

interesting

[pine obsidian]

Is there going to be a gasoline option?

[peak sparrow]

Who in their right mind would make a huge bus gasoline

That would be hella inefficient

[pine obsidian]

it would be an interesting concept

it exsists

[peak sparrow]

Exists but isn't mass produced, because it's an awful idea

[pine obsidian]

https://www.blue-bird.com/buses/vision/vision-gasoline-bus

i feel like its actually really widely produced

[peak sparrow]

Lmao

So far they only sold 5000 of them

In the entirety of the US

[snow mist]

I though it was mandatory that school buses run on diesel since it doesn’t burn as quick as gas

Ok In several states but not all of them

After the Carrollton bus disaster

[paper hearth]

I thought all large vehicles run on diesel???

Like bus, lorry, etc

[peak sparrow]

Americans wanna do everything different bro

Even at the cost of having an idea with awful execution

Take the Ford Triton V10 as example

Inefficient gasoline V10 in huge heavy duty vehicles 💀

[manic osprey]

As of March 13, 2019*

[peak sparrow]

I wonder why they stopped celebrating its sales

[manic osprey]

🤷‍♂️ idk maybe because of a sandal they had 💀 + they have social media pages now.

[manic osprey]

here in the US it depends on the state required specifications and on federally required specifications

-August 7 2023- Offical post on their facebook reads:
"Cleaner buses for all: whether your district is ready to drive #electric, or a propane or natural gas bus better suits your needs, we are here to help. #BlueBird is the leader in low- and #zeroemission school buses with more than 20,000 #propane, natural gas, and #electric powered buses in operation today."

20k out of the 180k or so buses currently on the road. It really does show that many of companies and districts don't have the funds to buy or operate alternate fuel school buses.

[paper hearth]

America, the place where horrible ideas are superior.

[manic osprey]

We sure do love it here in America!!
(we do not)

[ionic pollen]

cng buses are really nice

better ride quality and less noise than diesels

[sly briar]

will there be an electric bus?

[empty flume]

Nice IC RE

[amber spruce]

Any other progress?

[manic osprey]

I have been sick for a while and I am just betting back to working on projects again.

[manic osprey]

Grip all

Standard tires

[surreal reef]

lovel

[ionic pollen]

nice

[gleaming plover]

We needed more heavy utility vehicles in beam ong

[manic osprey]

A lot of progress on the body

[manic osprey]

engine

[torn imp]

Happy to see this being worked on again, got scared it was cancelled/forgotten about

[manic osprey]

just have to do a few more materials

[amber spruce]

S O O N (maybe)

[amber spruce]

Damn the lights resolution

[manic osprey]

512x512

Per light

[timber trench]

Will having white roofs and stuff like striped bumpers be part of the skins included or will they be selectable parts

[manic osprey]

I haven't got to that point yet.

[solar crow]

Looking good!

[peak sparrow]

Will there be different variations of it, or only the current one?

[amber spruce]

Idea for long nose version

Could reuse the Pessima MKII headlights

[lapis sage]

dude this looks sick

good job mate it is looking really nice

[manic osprey]

I already have plans for a long nose version, I mean if it was in "the other game" I will make a version of it in beam.
Like the Photon "3300" and "FS-65"

[manic osprey]

thanks

[manic osprey]

Ill have to make lore friendly brand replacements for the Freightliner, International and others but that is for after the RE is done and when I start work on the Type C.

[peak sparrow]

What production years does this thing have?

Looks like it would be from the 70s to currently

[timber trench]

If you make a life friendly long nose what would it be based on

[peak sparrow]

"life friendly"

[manic osprey]

Most modern north American school buses are still based off of 50 year old designs

80s Ward

90s amtran

2000s amtran

2010s IC Bus

I am trying to capture the same kind of slow evolution feel that the real buses have.

Plus I mean the IC bus RE has really been looking the same for 30+ years

And to answer your question the model i'm working on rn is supposed to be 2018ish - current

[peak sparrow]

I see

[amber spruce]

Lol covering the text is useless cuz it keeps peeling off

Btw any chance for a prison config?

[manic osprey]

definitely

[solar crow]

I love that you’re using the Photon brand name from ROR, really dope. You making others too? Like a 3800 or some visions?

[manic osprey]

Yes

I helped make the OG RoR Photons back in the day for my friend Jasper.

[woeful moon]

Yoo

IC re?

[empty dock]

Or the "SBCV"

[manic osprey]

Yes

[empty dock]

You should honestly do the FS-65 last since there is already a thomas one

[solar crow]

It needs to be redone tbh, it’s outdated asf

[empty dock]

I mean the OC made a Thomas Body for the H-series not that long ago, so maybe

[solar crow]

Ngl the H series bus doesn’t crumple like I thought it would, it’s harder to dent unlike the rest of the van

Must be a jbeam thing

[empty dock]

Yea

[upper cedar]

This thing's looking awesome, I love it!

[solar crow]

How much do you think you have left to do? Like when do you think they’ll be ready for release?

[manic osprey]

Maybe around the end of this year. 🎄☃️

What needs to be done:

• Chassis mesh (Frame and suspension)

• Interior (interior design, dash mesh, seat mesh, small detail parts)

• Mirrors (Crossviews and more Body mirrors)

• New Rim models

• Polish (Bugfixes, Fixing model errors, Remodeling placeholder models, Fixing sounds, Fixing and replacing textures, tuning look and feel.)

• Configs (Parts, Components, Thumbnails, Info and PC files.)

• Wipers (because Rortify and JonF will come to my house and break my computer if I don't)

[solar crow]

You should add working wipers too, there’s already a mod that does just that to most vanilla cars. I like driving in snow and rain in beam

Idk tho you’d have to jbeam those, which would probably be a little difficult

[manic osprey]

I have done it before in RoR so ill remake that mechanism

[solar crow]

Some of them should be out of sync like irl, on older buses anyway

[manic osprey]

yes

the question now is

top mount

or bottom mount

lemme make a mockup

[solar crow]

All of the above, if you’re making all different buses

[upper cedar]

I'd go bottom mount, since most school buses tend to follow that

[solar crow]

Fs65 top mount, bluebirds and IC bottom mount, flat nose buses pantograph bottom mount

That pantograph wiper system might be complicated though.

Cause you’d have to do the linkages between each arm, connecting it to the blade

[solar crow]

Thin this out and flip it sideways

[solar crow]

Ngl this doesn’t look too bad tbh. Reminds me of euro buses

[manic osprey]

its just a mockup not the actual model im using

I think I like the bottom mount better

just fits more

[covert flower]

Is this a school bus or are there other versions of this being released

[solar crow]

There’s gonna be more different buses

From IC to Bluebirds I think

[manic osprey]

If my memory isn't mistaken this should be the mech

brb gonna put it in game and test it

[solar crow]

Screen record it

[solar crow]

Noice

I love the engine sound too

[solar crow]

Believe it or not, school buses run on all sorts of fuel. Gasoline, diesel and even propane.

[paper hearth]

Why do you have to reply to something 2 month ago.

[solar crow]

I like reading, there wasn’t a need to have an attitude about it tho

[solar crow]

W

[paper hearth]

Ah Photon like in chemistry

[manic osprey]

[WIP] [Free] Photon Rear Engine Buses [90s - Current]

[jagged scroll]

(just here to have it be put in my follow thingy rtehhaha, love this)

[turbid sentinel]

Just like the buses I rode to school
Well, almost. The ones I rode were like cabover trucks with the engine in the front

[torn imp]

I already love this. Like seriously, I never thought i'd be excited for a school bus.

Also, that engine sound in the wipers video is SO good

[solar crow]

Ong, the finished product would be well worth the wait

[manic osprey]

Thanks!

[dense crown]

I'm very excited to see this once it's finished. Loving the progress and the design of it.

Will the overhead flashing lights be functional once it's finished? Any stop-arms or crossing-arm additions?

[manic osprey]

Glad to see so many people are excited for this!

One, Yes.
Two, Yes.

[dense crown]

sweet! 😄

[torn imp]

You're very welcome! One question though, what does the engine sound like while accelerating?

[peak sparrow]

Like an engine going up in rpm

[torn imp]

Well I assume it’s a fully custom blend, and I’m just curious as to how it sounds

[timber trench]

Bottom mounted is better trust

also I can’t wait to scrape the front and back bumpers on steep intersections

[dense crown]

West Coast USA map? lol

[timber trench]

not necessarily

It probably would but

There’s so many map mods I have that would probably work

[paper hearth]

This is a body on frame vehicle right?

[solar crow]

All school buses are body on frame

Technically they’re body on truck chassis

[paper hearth]

So the body can separate from the frame in a crash then

[solar crow]

It’s supposed to be that way for safety reasons. Might not look that way but it does help lesson deaths

Same with the black lines, they’re called rub rails. They keep the body from collapsing

You’ll find a similar thing on roofs of vans and SUVs.

[solar crow]

Plow it into a wall at max speed 😈

[manic osprey]

Bet 😈

Pick one

meh im just gonna pick the very powerful

[solar crow]

W

[solar crow]

I love how realistic the suspension acts

Also you know you can press alt+ left right arrow keys to slow down time

[manic osprey]

Ahh

[peak sparrow]

Bus chassis and truck chassis are nowhere near the same lmao

[manic osprey]

💀

Freightliner 106 and a Freightliner 106.....

😐

Durastar and Durastar

95% of the chassis components are the same, you can take a Freightliner 106 power train and slap it in a c2 and Vice versa.
Scrapped school bus powertrains and usable components are usually salvaged, sold, reused as medium duty truck parts

The IC AE is literally just a chopped TerraStarr

[surreal reef]

meow

[surreal reef]

omg

[manic osprey]

woof?

[surreal reef]

.

[manic osprey]

Anyways I was explaining how school buses just used slightly modified medium duty truck chassis.

[surreal reef]

they are

[manic osprey]

yes

[woeful moon]

Why'd u choose an IC re for this?

Can u make this livery for it cuz this is an re

And a nywaterway livery

Both with transit style windows

[peak sparrow]

May have been confused with Euro buses then

[empty dock]

The 1st Generation IC CE hood was gonna be a new look for the 4900

[manic osprey]

euro and american transit buses don't use medium duty truck chassis

[peak sparrow]

That's what i was referring to

[solar crow]

You gotta do this one sometime too. Put it under the Gavril name

[solar crow]

That bus looks good.

[turbid sentinel]

Maybe with a skoolie config

[manic osprey]

No no they are too tall 💀

[solar crow]

I see.

[amber spruce]

Girl from Tinder: I said 6.2 feet not 62

[solar crow]

You must be making all sorts. Is there gonna be a Wayne in this little project 👀

[manic osprey]

EC72 :3

[jagged scroll]

man ngl i cant wait for this and dummiesmans bus to release, i LOVE this, glad to see more bus' in beamng

[solar crow]

You should definitely do a early 70s B700 version too 👀

I’ll literally pay for one if I have to

[upper cedar]

my man got legs

[jade sky]

Prison Bus Variant

Police Variant

Ambus Variant

[sturdy pumice]

Man, how can American buses look, overall, SO old? Especially School Buses. They look the same/replicate technology from the 70s.

This is a Brand new low end brazilian Citybus, that can, and usually are used as school buses

[fathom path]

Tbf a lot of these examples are pre-2010

[sturdy pumice]

It is body on frame, front engined, its axles are leaf sprung and so on, but still looks fresh

[sly briar]

does this look old to you? i mean its a 2024 model, so of course it doesnt.

[sturdy pumice]

If you take the front clip off, it looks exacly like a 1970s school bus

If you don't look at the hood, it is, basically, the same design

[sly briar]

ehhh....

[woeful moon]

No

R u European or something

[sturdy pumice]

Nope, Brazilian

[woeful moon]

That's why

They look completely different

The CE is boxier

[sly briar]

its doesnt look old at all

atleast like

[woeful moon]

@manic osprey

[torn imp]

he's right you know

[sly briar]

2005-2010

[woeful moon]

R u in moco boys gc

[sly briar]

now thats old as hell

[woeful moon]

Cuz Barry kicked me from it

Cuz he had a tantrum

And then he added u

[sturdy pumice]

Like, this is a 1970's Brazilian bus. A simple one

[sly briar]

yeah looks pretty 70s to me.

this is a 70s american school bus

[paper hearth]

A bit curvy

[sturdy pumice]

This is a bus made by the same manufacturer, in the early 2000s

I'm showing city buses here, because we don't have purpose made school buses (because it actually, makes No sense, to make a whole new design just to carry children)

[sly briar]

now THIS is the average transit/city bus in america today.

[paper hearth]

Same over here on Vietnam

[sly briar]

the transit buses in america usually look newer than the school buses, atleast in my city.

[torn imp]

true

MBTA uses them

[sturdy pumice]

This is a modern "high end" Citybus, from Brazil

[sturdy pumice]

that unit was made this year

[peak sparrow]

Here in Sardinia the newest buses are Iveco Crossways

And Irizar i4

[sturdy pumice]

Let's not go to coaches, because it won't look good for America either lol

[sly briar]

nah nah nah

it will

[solar crow]

We have these types of buses here in Mexico.

But they aren't too common.

[sly briar]

2024 model coach.

in america.

[sturdy pumice]

This is a Modern Coach bus from Brazil

[peak sparrow]

Bro these are public transport buses lmao

The ones i posted are used for public transport

[sturdy pumice]

Makes sense. I connected the Irizar one to a Coach, because Irizar uses the Same design language on its coaches

[peak sparrow]

Yeah but Sardinia uses intercity buses

Sardinia also still has a few restored 1980s Iveco 370 Dallavia with 1million km in service

[sturdy pumice]

But yeah, our modern Intercity buses are very similarly designed. For an Intercity bus, it is old fashioned, with its front engine layout

[sly briar]

this is a 2015 model. most average coach bus in murica.

[peak sparrow]

I don't like American coaches, they have goofy proportions

[solar crow]

We have this.

[sly briar]

i think they look the best imo

uh-

theres also this in america.

[sturdy pumice]

This is painfully ugly, but looks fresher than the average american School bus lol

[peak sparrow]

Irisbus-Iveco Magelys, introduced in 2007 and still looks very modern

[sly briar]

looks goofy

but yeah modern.

[peak sparrow]

I love it

[sly briar]

american buses usually keep the same design for a LONG time.

[solar crow]

Exactly my point. It looks like a school bus, admittedly.

And these are the facelifts.

[peak sparrow]

It's produced to this day with Iveco marque

[paper hearth]

My discord jeep dying

[sturdy pumice]

Let's forget about the rear doors. This is a 90's Brazilian bus that could, and probably was, used as a School Bus

[paper hearth]

My country school buses

[peak sparrow]

One of the best buses Iveco has built, 1993-2007 Iveco EuroClass, a mix between an intercity bus and a luxury coach

[sly briar]

this is a 2023 model. it was introduced in 2007. ITS THE SAME DESIGN FROM WHEN IT WAS INTRODUCED IN 2007.

[peak sparrow]

Hear it roar

[paper hearth]

The M2 series haven't change for a while now.

[fathom path]

If it ain't broke..
There's not much reason to redesign these. They're built for a specific purpose, not to look pretty or really even be that comfortable. The interior of a school bus has barely changed in 50 years 😛

[paper hearth]

You give.really do need to give them seatbelts tho

[sly briar]

we actually do have seatbelts lol

[paper hearth]

I heard some states don't have

[sly briar]

my state does

[manic osprey]

They all look like they are from the 70s cause the designs are literally from the 70s.
School buses have hardly changed in the past 50 years.
But they are starting to change with the new EV brands,

[peak sparrow]

Another 80s success here was the Iveco Poker by Carrozzeria Orlandi

[manic osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NkJ509-YpUo

[peak sparrow]

BYD

[sturdy pumice]

But, let's be honest, why a standard american Citybus, maybe with just the front door, isn't better suited as a school bus? The school bus seating configuration would be the only real change

[sly briar]

build your dreams

[peak sparrow]

I wonder if it's trustable

What a goofy name for a company

[sly briar]

we actaully do have city buses with only 1 door

theyre called suburban buses

or somethin'

[timber trench]

Much more expensive

More maintenance

[manic osprey]

My local area runs BYD K9MDs

[timber trench]

Harder to clean

[sturdy pumice]

But why not use them as a school bus?

[manic osprey]

they seem reliable

https://en.byd.com/bus/k9md/

[sly briar]

not sure

see look 1 door

[peak sparrow]

Here in Sardinia for in-city transport they use these shuttle buses called Karsan Star, a Turkish brand
I like to call these "The Fridge"

[manic osprey]

Those are becoming less common

[timber trench]

School buses are absolutely barebones buses designed to be able to handle bad roads, dirt roads, highways, and everything in between at a low cost where they are Easy to maintain, there’s not much more you can do to make school buses better for what they do

[sly briar]

uhh, we use school buses as city buses, not city buses as school buses.

[manic osprey]

This

[peak sparrow]

Some cities use the Bredamenarinibus Vivacity, which i personally find better looking

[sly briar]

omg thats looks so goofy what the hell

its so tiny

and goofy

i love it

[manic osprey]

Looks kinda like an alien but I like it

[peak sparrow]

Its made for small city transport areas

[paper hearth]

BYD? Haven't heard of them

[timber trench]

My American town is too small for public transit for the most part

[peak sparrow]

Breda Menarini is a quite notorious brand that makes and used to make trains, trams, and buses

[timber trench]

We have a few buses what look like the school bus h series mod

[sly briar]

we actually take regular 40 foot buses (or whatever that is in metric) into regualr neighborhood roads that are narrow lol

sometimes

in my city atleast

[peak sparrow]

Some public transport companies here use the Irisbus-Iveco Arway, an intercity bus

[sly briar]

we also got these

barely any cities in american have them

but we do have them.

[peak sparrow]

In Italy double deckers are used for tours

[sly briar]

we have double deckers tour too

[peak sparrow]

(I don't know what brand this one is)

[sturdy pumice]

Still Barebones, can go over unpaved roads, cheap to run, since it uses truck engines, transmissions (although mounted in the back) and axles, cheap to buy, and are still Way more modern

[sly briar]

that dont look that modern to me

but hey maybe its just me

[peak sparrow]

It has a weird logo i never saw before

[timber trench]

You don’t get the point

School buses aren’t supposed to be modern

[peak sparrow]

If anybody knows what brand this is tell me lmao

[timber trench]

Plus that doesn’t look as safe to me

Such high center of gravity

[peak sparrow]

Most buses in EU aren't that tall

[sly briar]

i mean

[paper hearth]

Sad truth but no buses or coaches are safe.

[timber trench]

Either way school buses are built perfectly for American roads

[sly briar]

buses in america arent as modern as semi trucks in america lol.

[timber trench]

And are perfect for what they do

[peak sparrow]

US longnose buses will still have the engine entering the cab so it's not like you spare much safety

[sly briar]

they dont

they really dont

[timber trench]

We have euro style buses but they are all more expensive

And hard to maintain

Cost more to run

[paper hearth]

Aren't all buses the same? Just the body looks a bit different?

[sly briar]

i mean

[paper hearth]

Amd engine placements

[timber trench]

Harder to upfit into school buses with all the regulations needed to be met

[sly briar]

The new bluebird vision propane have the 7.3l v8 from a ford f350 so...

[solar crow]

And what is wrong?

[sly briar]

high center of gravity = flips easily.

[solar crow]

I see.

[timber trench]

A bus flipping over that has no seatbelts equals bad

[solar crow]

Were there such cases?

[sturdy pumice]

Man, Mechanically this is a Truck

[timber trench]

no

It’s a bus

silly

[peak sparrow]

Its not

[sly briar]

under that body he means

its a truck

[peak sparrow]

EU bus chassis is nowhere near a truck lmao

[hidden wind]

It looks like a IC RE oh wait it is

[timber trench]

ok but

not a truck

[hidden wind]

the detail is insane on it

[paper hearth]

How about this

[sly briar]

does yalls buses be using manual transmissions? american buses havent used manuals since the 70s-80s.

[paper hearth]

Yeah, they still do

[peak sparrow]

A coach i really like is the Irisbus Evadys

[peak sparrow]

Public buses here use Automatic, most Tourist buses use 12 speed manuals

[sturdy pumice]

And, I mean. I'm from Brazil. We make 99.9% of all buses that drives here. Not a rich country. But we are not stuck in the 70's/80's and 90's.

[paper hearth]

I haven't seen an automatic bus in my life irl

[sly briar]

thats crazy

ive never seena manual bus ever/

[paper hearth]

I have been on newer Hyundai buses and coaches but not yet see a automatic

[peak sparrow]

Here in Sardinia, the drivers who drive these most likely have good muscles because of the non-synchronized manual transmission lmao

[sturdy pumice]

This is a brazilian, front engined bus frame. Basically a truck frame with the front axle moved back, and with no cabin. And this is the same frame from this bus

[peak sparrow]

I question why did they opt for front engine on a cabover bus

[sly briar]

(i think) this is the only mercedes bus america gets.

[peak sparrow]

Iveco here recently showed the new Streetway

[paper hearth]

Have you guys seen the new Hyundai County?

[sly briar]

thats new? goddamn.

[peak sparrow]

Never seen that

[paper hearth]

Old design looks like this

[peak sparrow]

There is also the new Iveco E-Way, which looks out of a futuristic game

[sly briar]

it just looks facelifted lol

[sly briar]

this

[paper hearth]

Pretty much

[sturdy pumice]

It depends. On big cities, the rear engined City buses are mostly automatic, although the front engined ones are mostly manuals. For the Coaches, it depends from the frame manufacturer and the coach size. Scanias and Volvos are basically all Opticruise and I-Shift (automated manuals). Mercedes, on the other hand, sells some coach frames with manuals but optional Powershift transmissions (automated manual too), but their high end frames are Powershift standard. Small cities, usually have their city bus fleet made of mainly front engined buses, so mostly manual too. Although, until the 2000s basically all buses and coaches were manual, apart from some automated ones (but they were rare, since their shiflogic usually wasn't very logical, and they usually burnt more fuel)

[peak sparrow]

Lmao they managed to make the old design look newer than the new design itself

[paper hearth]

Ask Hyundai XD

[peak sparrow]

Irisbus had made a small appearence in the US, only for Las Vegas transit

[paper hearth]

Our old Ford Transit vs New Ford Transit

[peak sparrow]

They were made in 2004, and were hybrid diesel

[sly briar]

2024 model in america

[sturdy pumice]

same model in Brazil

[paper hearth]

Yeh, kinda suck we don't have the redesigned

[peak sparrow]

Now that i think about it idk why Irisbus only made an appearence with this futuristic hybrid bus in the US and then that's it

[solar crow]

Us neither.

[peak sparrow]

Interior looked pretty futuristic for 2004 too

[sturdy pumice]

Truck maintenance cost. Cheaper to build, easier and cheaper to maintain

[sly briar]

if you didnt show those top lights, i would think thats 2024

[peak sparrow]

I also found this pic of another Civis, supposedly still in the US

Nevermind

I see the text

[sly briar]

no wait

that probably is america

[peak sparrow]

Then why are the ads in Spanish

[solar crow]

Because the US has Spanish speaking people.

[sly briar]

probably somewhere like puerto rico or somethin

[peak sparrow]

Apparently according to wiki, it could both be optioned with a Cummins + hybrid or a Iveco Cursor + hybrid

[sly briar]

speaking of puerto rico, this is a bus in san juan, the capital of puerto rico.

[peak sparrow]

..and out of my knowledge, apparently they were used as Trams in Italy too

It looks to be a really versatile platform

The legacy of the Civis was not lost, as Iveco in recent years introduced the Crealis

[solar crow]

School buses haven’t changed design much because of how safe they are

[sturdy pumice]

But how much of their safety come from anywhere other than the seats?

[solar crow]

Believe it or not, compartmentalization isn’t as safe as people say it is either

Compartmentalization doesn’t work when the bus is sideways

In terms of safety, most states require lap belts on all new school buses. The tech that’s in your car is also implemented in the bus as well, but that’s at district discretion. Meaning they decide what’s on the spec sheet

[jagged scroll]

I honestly love the feeling of being in a big bus with no seat belts, even if in a crash i die, just the gforces are cool

[sturdy pumice]

But it still doesn't explain why the bodies' design is the same as in the 70's

[jagged scroll]

cost

[solar crow]

The black lines on the sides for instance, they’re also part of structural safety. Without those, the body can collapse during a collision

[jagged scroll]

it's the same for seatbelts

[solar crow]

As I said, they don’t need to really change the design because of how safe they are. School buses are one of the most safest transportation systems on American and Canadian roads

[sturdy pumice]

So the body is SO cheaply built that those rails are the only thing keeping it together?

[solar crow]

🤦‍♀️

[jagged scroll]

no, it's just really big, thin, and long, so it naturally creates weak points

[solar crow]

The rub rails are there for the structural integrity of the bus, just like how SUVs and minivans have lines going down the roof

[sturdy pumice]

So you are saying that to be safe, a bus need to look more like this

[solar crow]

Precisely

[sturdy pumice]

And less like this?

Let's pretend that the silver bus doesn't have the other two doors

[solar crow]

Take the bluebird for example, they’re pretty much framed like a house

[fathom path]

Like this

[solar crow]

My phones not sending crap

I was trying to send just that

Lmao

School buses might look like unsafe giant rolling yellow twinkies, but I can only count a few instances where a bus crash took the lives of everyone onboard

[peak sparrow]

EU buses hold impacts well too

[solar crow]

EU has different laws than the states and Canada

[sturdy pumice]

Well, I don't think they are unsafe. But they don't look a lot more safer than any other bus (if we don't consider the seats)

[solar crow]

Normally kids don’t stand and hang on by a roof handle

[peak sparrow]

This was a head-on with the van going 130kmh on the wrong way and the bus 90

[sturdy pumice]

But this is a Euro Bus. Everyone spects them to be safe

[solar crow]

Watch this, it might help you understand. https://youtu.be/6pT8AL4n3Ow?si=lwsTyHfOgSQLPU7m

[sturdy pumice]

Yeah, I understand that. But what school buses have inside of them that makes them safe, is not related to their body design

[solar crow]

I’ve said this three times now, the body design hasn’t changed over the last 5 decades because it doesn’t need to

It’s really not that deep tbh

Until you actually ride or even DRIVE one, you won’t actually understand

[sturdy pumice]

I mean, Bus design in general didn't need to change, but it did, almost everywhere in the world.

[peak sparrow]

It's normal for it to change

Nothing can truly stay entirely the same

Yes you can hold some details, but never entirely

[solar crow]

EU has stricter laws when it comes to public transportation, school buses aren’t for public transportation. They’re for kids. They’re built for kids and the drivers behind them.

[peak sparrow]

We have School buses too, but in some areas they are rarer than public transport

In most areas*

[solar crow]

Now I agree that there is some things that need to be changed in bus manufacturing, for starters there needs to be a driver airbag in the steering wheel, to protect the driver. The driver is at a much higher risk from a fatality because of the lack of an airbag

I know there’s some semi trucks out in the EU with driver airbags, I think Volvo and Man do it I’m not sure

Or was it Scania

[solar crow]

Looks like a smaller version of every city transit bus in the EU

It also looks extremely top heavy

[peak sparrow]

They're surprisingly stable

They're called Midibus

[sturdy pumice]

Like, If you paint this thing School Bus Yellow, put inside "School bus seats", and other things like the retractable stop sign, that front bumper bar and other things that can be fitted in any bus, It would be AS safe as a traditional schoolbus

[peak sparrow]

They're a class between minibus and normal sized bus

[solar crow]

Interesting

[peak sparrow]

A 1990s Cacciamali schoolbus built on an Iveco Daily van chassis

[solar crow]

We kinda have those as school buses, but they’re called Type B buses

[sturdy pumice]

I mean, almost everywhere, school buses are, well, normal buses, that carry children

[peak sparrow]

Most common schoolbuses here are these, still built on a Daily chassis
Tho they are considerably a lot taller, making their proportions look wonky

[solar crow]

And then we have the Type A, which sits on a cutaway cab van

[sturdy pumice]

In the US a School Bus, is basically built to be just that

[solar crow]

You just figured that out?

[paper hearth]

I don't think this thread is not the Photon anymore xd

[sturdy pumice]

The point is, why US School buses are dedicated buses while everywhere else they are just normal buses?

[peak sparrow]

Some bus coachbuilders in the 90s liked to overdesign their buses...
Well, they looked modern for the time I'll give them that

[sturdy pumice]

I agree, maybe that would be a better topic to be addressed in the Forums

[peak sparrow]

I'll stop

[solar crow]

YOOO the photon looks 🔥

[brave thorn]

US schoolbus design is a joke

Don’t look different from 1970s

[jagged scroll]

doesn't need to be different

it's perfectly safe as it is

[brave thorn]

Yes

But they look outdated

Compared to other buses

[jagged scroll]

eh, fair enough, I prefer the 70s look over today

[brave thorn]

Alright

[manic osprey]

y'all gotta chill out

[solar crow]

People when other countries do things differently: 😧😱😡

[solar crow]

Same

[upper cedar]

it's literally a bus 💀

Looks don't really matter much for a rectangular box with wheels

With a sole requirement of "move people"

[solar crow]

I’ve said this yesterday like 10 times. They don’t need to be redesigned because of how safe they are, I mean it’s a school bus, what do they want them to look like? A Ferrari?

That’s like if I said why haven’t double decker buses went from two floors to three

Doesn’t need to

[peak sparrow]

I can understand styling on tourist buses, but school buses don't need styling

Tourist buses do somewhat need styling because i doubt a tourist company would do well with Multipla-shaped buses

Unless you're a Spanish company called Ayats...

[amber spruce]

Can we stop arguing over buses?

[solar crow]

No one’s arguing though, we’re having a discussion about why American school buses don’t change design 🤷‍♀️

[hidden wind]

can we keep it on topic to the photon

no other buses

[fathom path]

A little unrelated but it's showing there, are the walls thick enough?

I was digging around and found the handbook for the one I'm modeling, but 2.625in per side also seems a bit much lol

[torn imp]

this is awesome, i love this

do you think you’ll end up making a version with a split windshield?

[solar crow]

All flat nose school buses have a split windshield.

And all bluebirds do as well

Thomas and IC are the only ones who don’t do split windshields on their conventional dog nose buses

[sturdy pumice]

I'd say that any type of bus should have split windshields. A 33 ft² laminated glass panel is VERY expensive, so cutting it in half helps a lot.

[solar crow]

split windshields create a small blindspot, thats why theyre not as common anymore except for bluebird

[sturdy pumice]

At least, here in Brazil, is is kind of rare for a bus manufacturer to offer a single piece windscreen as a optional, let alone as standard. Citybuses, School buses and Coaches are all split windscreen, apart from some coaches owned by "crazy companies"

[sturdy pumice]

No way that blindspot is big enough to be really dangerous, spevialy on dog nose buses, where the hood creates a huge blindspot.

[fathom path]

It looks like they're going to do a split windshield

From way back in the thread:

[sturdy pumice]

makes sense. Although a single piece windshield looks better, specially on more modern designs, they are really unpractical

[manic osprey]

i can fix super easy as i haven't done much on the interior yet

[torn imp]

Ah okay

[viral pewter]

I mean my school bus irl has split windshield, and it's (I think) a 2015 Thomas HDX

[solar crow]

Mhm, all flat nose buses have a split windshield

very helpful to the conversation, thank you

[solar crow]

You’re welcome

Although I did that so the post didn’t disappear

[torn imp]

what

[solar crow]

Apparently you don’t know how the forums work

[torn imp]

what do you mean by “disappear”

[solar crow]

Over time, a forum if left inactive for a period of time. It gets hidden from a thread. So think of it like bumping

Also for future reference, maybe consider not being rude

[torn imp]

so instead of just saying “E” why don’t you say it’s a bump/saying it so the thread doesn’t disappear

[torn imp]

i wasn’t trying to be rude, i apologize if it came off as rude

i just got out of the gym and i am really tired

Maybe because they don’t wanna loose the thread? I’m glad they did cause I was looking for it

[peak sparrow]

Just keep the follow button on

Or if it unfollows, follow it again

[empty dock]

Hence his message. It also helps people look/discover it

[peak sparrow]

No a bump does indeed not help in any way other than to annoy

[solar crow]

Why is it whenever someone does something, you have to always put your two cents into what someone does? You are the rudest person I’ve seen in this server

If it annoys you so much, unfollow the thread. Let people bump things because it helps us find these threads again.

[peak sparrow]

Unfollowing the thread would mean I can't follow in case the actual modder shows any progress

[peak sparrow]

I express my own opinion as i am free to do so, because i think that bumps are unneccessary; The modder can very well "bump" the thread himself with info or pictures when progress is done. I do not mean to be rude when i point out the shenanigans Beamcord does. Not to mention, the thread is on hold.
If that makes me rude, you haven't seen anything here yet

If i bother you, you are free to block me

[quaint stump]

there is a reason why theres a big red box saying that the thread is old on the beamng forums
yes, its for the people to not bump old threads, this mod is on hold, theres no need to even bother messaging in this

bumps simply do not help in any context

[peak pond]

the only bump you need is the creator posting something new, if there is something to post, he will post it, you do not need to keep up to date unless the creator is posting something

bumping helps no one, and just makes people think "oh the thread is highlighted white, maybe the creator posted something new" just to see somebody who said "bump" for no reason

[manic osprey]

Welp... the update broke the sh*t out of the photon.

https://tenor.com/view/funny-burn-fire-flame-run-gif-22635986

If I have to redo a bunch of stuff on it why not just start over instead of spending days fixing it, I could be spending those days rebuilding it from the ground up to be better.

Bad news: back to square one 💀

You can compre the photon to this CE I'm working on for another game.

Wayy more detail

imagine putting the CE in beam and calling it something like wentward c series

or something

[amber spruce]

Hmm Quandale Dingle edition?

[solar crow]

Will it support EU plates?

[amber spruce]

Probably the front but maybe not the rear

Cuz there wouldn’t be any space other than the rear bumper

[solar crow]

Makes sense, then.

[amber spruce]

Also Quandale stands for long nose

[solar crow]

Nice.

[bronze sphinx]

Oh, so a Type-C bus?

[amber spruce]

Yea that

[bronze sphinx]

This being an RE means it's a Type-D, a size up

[amber spruce]

that

[drowsy cloud]

Photon monorail😎

[solar crow]

RE just means rear engine, has nothing to do with the sizes at all. FE means front engine, and yeah these flat nose buses can have either a front or rear engine. Depends on the spec

[bronze sphinx]

Yeah, I meant that RE buses are always Type-D, but that Type-D buses come in FE too

[ripe robin]

[rocky wadi]

It would be great if more people made busses like these

We really need a Thomas C2

As a lore friendly bus

[ionic pollen]

nah we need an euro bus or coach fr

[knotty pendant]

https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/1157304609329651813

[ionic pollen]

that's asian iirc

we only have the wentward eu12 and the neuplan buses and the capsule

and two of those are based on the dt40l and the capsule is a futuristic concept

[solar crow]

Euro buses are boring, they’re all the same. But a coach or double decker would be dope.

I would love to see someone make a Neoplan Skyliner

[desert sable]

classic double decker bus 😭

[ionic pollen]

bold opinion especially if compared to american buses

would love a vanhool double decker

[manic osprey]

I actually thought about making a vanhool double decker for ror a few years ago.
Mostly Because of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO1_vE1GZII

[hearty patio]

Make for beam instead

[ionic pollen]

been on a vanhool dd a bit more modern when I went to the UK, really confortable, the luggage compartment was also interesting, it had a little door for the driver to access while loading the luggage

[charred solar]

Vanhools would be cool

We seriously need a quality double decker other than the capsule

[solar crow]

We definitely need one of these classic routemasters

I think ror had a mod but it was god awful

[charred solar]

Something newer would be nice

But the routemaster is better than nothing ig

[charred solar]

It was one of those automation mods

[solar crow]

Agreed yeah, but it’s more likely that this gets made than anything else cause British

Between you and me, neoplan is better than vanhool

[charred solar]

Yeah I agree

It would be nice to have Alexander Dennis Enviro or Alexander ALX 200 and 400 and 500

[next lily]

ahh nice, can you make them universal with the T-series?

[manic osprey]

I will think about it.

[charred solar]

Is this the transit variant

if so it looks siick

Can't edit the post for some reason... But development has continued!

[manic osprey]

I am replacing this dashboard with a more boxy dashboard.

• Remake Jbeam.
• Remake side rails.
• Remake dashbaord.
• Replace the tires and rims with the new ones I have already. (Old ones broke during the T-series remaster.)
• Fix or Replace my janky lua scripting for the doors and lights.
• Make seat models.
• Finish the body.
• Release a early beta?

Looks really great

I like its "special" back of the bus

What type of doors Will it have ?

[chrome copper]

ok

[knotty pendant]

Looking good. I've been waiting since the release of the Wentward S3 for a rear engine flat nose.

[manic osprey]

Ah flubb it I'm redoing the whole body, the topology is just awful.

and while I'm at it I am going to make it look a little bit more like a IC RE.

[remote urchin]

Is this thing gonna have more engine options?

[mental zephyr]

ICRE

[granite belfry]

Is the a ICRE?

[sour root]

idk how i never noticed this
we need a new re bus, bc we have a conventional, an fe, but were just missing an re
i dont count dansworth because its not based on a irl brand

plus im pretty sure that mod is outdated atp

[void fox]

i think its roughly based on the first gen bb tc2000

very roughly

[sour root]

cant quite tell

[random wave]

mmm the resemblance is there

[void fox]

I have a working version of the dansworth bus by a plane guy on the beamng forums

no textures missing
