Is that possible to have a Simsig Hong Kong ?

In relation to Yuuji message, I noted he attached a file. How do you access this file or view it?

Assuming you're using IE, right click and open it in a new tab or window. If you're using a different browser then it should have a similar/same option, albeit possibly differently worded.

It certainly does sound like an interesting idea and something a little bit different and I believe that someone I know would have a keen interest in it themselves too however of course if there is a problem of needing to actually go to Hong Kong to do the research then, sadly, I can see it not happening unless seriously cheap flights and accommodation could be found/arranged. Still, certainly an interesting idea!

Living in HK myself, whilst I would love something like this I can't help thinking it would be a tad boring as there is not a huge number of things to do really. Most services run along dedicated lines with little or no interaction between them. OK the Airport Express and Tung Chung lines do share some track between Hong Kong & Kowloon; between Tsing Yi & Sunny Bay and Sunny Bay & Siu Ho Wan not to mention the Mainland stuff sharing the Hung Hom - Lo Wu line. The busiest time would be getting things out onto the system for the morning and evening peaks and back again afterwards. Each line has it's own depot except I think the Ma On Shan trains which get serviced at Fotan depot on the East Rail line.
The KCR East Rail line (I know it is now all MTR but I still call this bit the KCR) Hung Hom - Lo Wu does use 4 aspect signal heads but more often than not there is only a separate blue light lit to indicate automatic train control is in use. Also the Ma On Shan line from Tai Wai to Wu Kai Sha is the only railway here that runs "wrong line" i.e. drives on the right.
All in all it is a fascinating system out here that runs flawlessly for the most part, if there ever were a simulation of this I'm sure I could fix that quite easily... :P

Thanks Uk, i'm using IE8. It will not allow me to open/read the file. Do you know the setting to fix it?

TIA

Yuuji,

Could you please email me the track diagram or, if it's large, an extract from it? That will give me a better idea of how practical it will be to build a simulation from it. Once we know that, we can see if there's a developer able to take on the work.

My email is < clive AT SimSig . co . uk >.

So... given that this post is already two years old and I didn't heard of any progress, does this mean the SimSig developing team has already abandoned the idea of making a sim for Hong Kong?
