I would love a lot but really much that I would never know how to thank you if you could add 2 lines of the Rome Metro in Italy, I talk about Line A (Anagnina-Battistini) and Line B (Laurentina-Jonio and Laurentina-Rebibbia), in this case the third one is the line C, but it's automatic, so you can't drive. This would really be a dream for me. You're the only company that has been able to satisfy me with the best train game on the market, I love you. I hope you can take this advice. Train Models for Rome Metro Line A:MA300: These are modern trains that have been in service since 2010, built by CAF. They are sleek, air-conditioned, and equipped with modern safety features. Train Models for Rome Metro Line B:MB100: These older trains have been in service since the 1980s. They have a classic design and are iconic to the Line B experience. MB300: These are newer trains introduced in the late 2000s, built by CAF. They are similar to the MA300 on Line A in terms of design and features, offering a more modern experience. Another thing that is one of those that I love the most are the sound announcements of the next stops (for example for the Rome metro they say "Prossima fermata:Policlinico, treno per,Rebibbia,next stop,policlinico,train to,Rebibbia) I really hope you can add all the realistic announcements recorded by the stations and on board the trains.I'll tell you the last bit more, the ad system works in this way, the train leaves and after a little leaving the stop announces the next one like:"next stop,policlinico,train to,Rebibbia", while arriving at the quay of the next stop says: "arriving at,Policlinico, right side exit" and when it remains stationary and the doors open it says: "Policlinico,train to, Rebibbia" obviously says everything in Italian and consequently in English.You can search also for youtube videos. I also attach photos of the trainsUn nce.ins. nce.s
You're going to have to give us some more detail. May I suggest looking at the pinned thread at the top of this forum about how to make a good suggestion: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/matts-advice-on-tsw-suggestions.86336/
Detailed Proposal for the Inclusion of Metro A, B, B1, and Roma-Lido Lines in Train Sim World This proposal aims to introduce the metro system of Rome into Train Sim World, covering lines A, B, B1, and Roma-Lido, with a focus on engaging gameplay, realistic driving challenges, and an accurate reproduction of the infrastructure and trains. Why would this proposal be interesting and fun? Rome is one of the most iconic cities in the world, but its metro system has never been represented in a high-quality railway simulator. The gameplay would not be limited to simply driving a train but would offer a variety of unique challenges: Frequency Management: Tight schedules and heavy traffic, especially on Lines A and B. Variable Conditions: Lines with tight curves, challenging gradients, and different types of tracks (tunnels, elevated, surface). Diverse Trains: From the classic MB100 and MB400 to the newer MA300, and the upcoming Hitachi Rail. Urban and Suburban Scenarios: From tunnels under the historic center to the Roma-Lido, featuring open-air stations and unique landscapes. Additionally, adding the Roma-Lido would allow players to experience a line that blends metro and suburban railway, including traditional railway signaling elements. Details of the Proposed Lines Metro A (Battistini – Anagnina, 18.4 km, 27 stations) Opening Year: 1980 Scenario: A heavily trafficked line with tight curves and short platforms. Highlights: Narrower tunnels than Line B, affecting driving. Quick travel times with high frequency. Some tourist stations like Spagna, Ottaviano, and San Giovanni. Operating Trains: CAF MA300 (since 2005) Hitachi Rail (from 2025) Necessary Licenses: CAF for MA300 Hitachi Rail for new trains Metro B/B1 (Laurentina – Rebibbia/Jonio, 22 km, 26 stations) Opening Year: 1955 (modernized from 1990) Scenario: The oldest of the Roman metro lines, with wider tunnels than Line A. Highlights: Higher commercial speed compared to Line A. Elevated sections between EUR Magliana and Laurentina. Dual-level tracks at Bologna station, a unique feature. Operating Trains: AnsaldoBreda MB100 (1987, still in service) CAF MB400 (since 2010, adapted version of MA300) Hitachi Rail (from 2025) Necessary Licenses: AnsaldoBreda (Hitachi Rail) for MB100 CAF for MB400 Roma-Lido (Piramide – Cristoforo Colombo, 28.3 km, 13 stations) Opening Year: 1924 Scenario: One of the most unique lines, with suburban railway sections operated with metro trains. Highlights: Surface tracks with varied landscapes between the city and the sea. Possibility of express services with few intermediate stops. Traditional railway signaling, distinct from the metro. Operating Trains: MA200 (old Metro A trains, out of service) CAF MA300 Hitachi Rail (from 2025) Necessary Licenses: CAF for MA300 Hitachi Rail for new trains Trains and Technical Differences CAF MA300 (Series S/300) In service on Metro A and B. Interconnecting structure with 6 carriages. Modern design with internal information displays. Maximum speed: 90 km/h. CAF MB400 (Series S/400) Modified version of the MA300, adapted for Metro B. Improved traction system to handle wider curves and higher speeds. Maximum speed: 90 km/h. AnsaldoBreda MB100 In service on Metro B since 1987. Classic structure with independent carriages. Older technology compared to MA300 and MB400. Maximum speed: 80 km/h. Hitachi Rail (new trains from 2025) Designed for Metro A, B, B1, and Roma-Lido. Better energy efficiency (-10% energy consumption). Capacity for up to 1,204 passengers. Maximum speed: 80 km/h. MA200 (historic, Roma-Lido) Former Metro A trains adapted for Roma-Lido. Outdated technology but important for preserving the line's history. Maximum speed: 90 km/h. Balancing the Proposal for Train Sim World How to make the proposal realistic for the game: Start with a baseline line (Metro B) with MB100, MA300, and MB400, then expand to the others. Avoid overly long routes: focus on one line at a time. Add realistic scenarios: tight schedules, variable weather conditions, signal management, and switches. Don’t overdo the initial trains: start with MB100, MA300, and MB400, with future expansions including Hitachi trains. Possible Future Expansions: DLC 1: Metro C (non-drivable but beautiful; players could manage its traffic or simply ride it, with interchange at San Giovanni station with Line A). Overview of Trains Currently in Service on the Metro Lines of Rome, Focusing on Differences Between the MB100, MB400, MA300, and New Hitachi Rail Trains MB100 Electric Multiple Units Introduced: 1987 Manufacturer: AnsaldoBreda In service on: Metro B and B1 Main Features: Non-interconnecting carriages. 1980s aesthetic with functional but basic interiors. Older traction and electronic systems compared to later models. Maximum speed: 80 km/h. MA200 (Metro A and Roma-Lido) Entered service: 1990 Manufacturer: Breda/Firema Main Features: No interconnection. Automated but with recurring technical issues. Maximum speed: 90 km/h. MA300 Trains Introduced: 2005 Manufacturer: Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF) In service on: Primarily Metro A; some transferred to Metro B and Roma-Lido in Cotral livery. Main Features: Interconnecting carriages. Modern design with clean lines and large windows. Equipped with passenger information systems and surveillance cameras. Maximum speed: 90 km/h. MB400 Trains Introduced: 2014 Manufacturer: Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF) In service on: Metro B and B1 Main Features: Similar to MA300, with interconnecting carriages. Updated design with improved interiors. LED lighting and better readability on destination displays. Maximum speed: 90 km/h. New Hitachi Rail Trains Expected introduction: 2025 Manufacturer: Hitachi Rail In service on: Metro A, B, B1, and Roma-Lido Main Features: Modular design with interconnecting carriages. Advanced energy efficiency (-10% energy consumption). Capacity for up to 1,204 passengers. Maximum speed: 80 km/h. Conclusion The metro system of Rome, through the introduction and evolution of the MB100, MA300, MB400 trains, and the upcoming Hitachi Rail trains, has shown a continuous commitment to improving passenger experience, integrating advanced technologies, and increasing the comfort and efficiency of the service. The inclusion of the Rome metro system in Train Sim World would offer unique challenges and a variety of urban and suburban scenarios. With different trains, intense traffic management, and a mix of tunnel and open-air lines, this project would be fun, realistic, and appreciated by players. If this happens, I will be forever grateful. Before I die, more than anything else, I want to see a simulator of the metro systems representing my hometown. If you want I will share some detailed images of the trains.
