    That's a serious Bus, would love to take a trip on it sometime just to stand in the bendy bit as it goes around a corner. It would be what, 40 feet long? *wild guess*

    ...actually the Super Golden Eagle (built for Trailways by a German firm) were about sixty feet long.

    The one interesting thing is in spite of their extreme length, they actually had a better turning radius than a standard 40 - 45 foot bus.

    We used to have 55 foot bending buses here in Portland but they were built by Ikarius of Hungary and suffered from numerous quality control issues. Also due to the ADA, they had to be lift equipped and the only place to install the lift was at the first rear door which meant the driver had to lock the parking brake, get out of the driver's seat, and go back to operate the lift, a very time consuming process that often resulted in buses being very late. The whole experience soured our transit commission on this type of bus so bad that they won't even consider looking at other (and better built) models. There are also "low rider" versions that use a simple extendible ramp instead of the more complicated electric/hydraulic lift.

    Meanwhile in Seattle to the north about two thirds of the fleet are articulated buses, including "trackless trolley" versions.

    It was actually more fun to stand instead of sit in the bending section as it also articulated up and down so the bus could negotiate hills.

    Our light rail trams also are articulated but the turns and grade changes are not as extreme as a bus deals with. The articulated section is also longer than on a bus (and doesn't have the "squeezebox" look) as it contains the car's centre wheel bogie.

    Awesome. A lot of the trams in Melbourne are articulated, just not around our neighbourhood because tourists love to ride the old cast iron bone shakers for some reason so we aren't allowed to have them :lol:

    Complaint about bieng conned.

    Just bought Interjection booster for M5 SSS textures... And It's indeed called M5 Textures, but it certainly is NOT they use V4 UV's!! I only got it for M5! OMG It's even said in the description that it's all for M5 and Hitomi, yet what is supposed to be M5 is V4. I'm so pissed off.

    ...while the new trams are more comfortable, the old ones have more character. I used to ride these daily when I lived in New Orleans Uptown as I lived less than a half block off of St Charles.

    Fig. 1 A St Charles Streetcar. When I lived there in 1977, the fare was fifteen cents as the transit system (buses included) was still operated by "Public Service", the local electric utility. They were built in the 1920s and are total beasts being built from solid steel. If anything smaller than a bus or large truck tangled with one, the streetcar usually won.

    Fig. 2. The old "hood looking North on Napoleon Ave (Google Screen Capture). The building in the foreground with the overhead door used to be a fire station when I lived there (I believe now it is a restaurant), the building next to it is the apartment house I lived in, and the intersection just beyond the building under renovation (which used to be a popular bar for Tulane students) is St Charles. This short distance from St Charles was the difference between paying about 800$ - 1,000$/ month (in the late 70s mind you) and 150$/month (for a nice two bedroom flat).

    Pay phone calls back then were still only 5¢, so the old saying "It's your nickel" had a bit more meaning.

    The old green trams might be atmospheric but get real hot - unbearably mind bending hot - and don't cool down so locals avoid them on a warm day. The new Trams are kinda stealth transport, real quiet and camouflaged looking, but the aircon doesn't work so well most of the time for some reason, prolly the heat :) eta yes same ol' gentrification round here, except we are being built out by skyscraper apartment blocks rather than conversions.

    You can't lock the M5 UVs ?

    You set the uv set on each body part, but every texture on that body part must be the same UV. It's the very important SSS Strength textures that are V4UV instead of M5 for M5. Thus you get distortions and breakages in your textures. It's the same as using a V4 UV Diffuse texture on a character with M5 UV's selected. It goes horrible.

    I attached pics of the SSS M5 Strength textures (which aren't made for M5 UV at all, they belong to V4 UV, which doesn't make sense) in this thread http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/14101/ raising the issue.

    To my knowledge you cant have textures on an individual body part different UV's to each other.

    Oh I see, M5 model and V4 maps. Everything DSON seems to default to V4, perhaps a NVITWAS apocalypse is imminent :lol: You can always return the maps hey :)

    True, and it would be my first return. I'm very disapointed that it is falsely advertised, that it passed QA team and that it's hand painted beautifully along side the accompanied M5 UV'd related textures, yet it was done using V4... How could you miss it? Its so darn obvious. I've got the first Interjection as well, which supports M4, V5 and of course V4 and its brilliant! Yet M5 is left with incorrect textures, which has been sold for quite some time now.

    Aw. Bet is some kind of SNAFU, The returns thing goes real smooth, is there a sale ending? Takes a day or two to get the credit.

    Well it's 30% off atm... I sent a query to the PA of the product and also filed a bug report. So I'll see if a fix will be made withing the 30days, else I'll just go the refund. Hitomi is really no use to me, and all I wanted it for was M5... I already have V4 from the first interjection pack.

    Complaint: IHOP (International House of Pancakes) Restaurants are only in the US. All 50 states and Washington D.C. This would actually make them the National House of Pancakes. When I pointed this out to the day shift manager, I was told that the food items were the "International" part. You know, Belgian waffles, etc. I still find this misleading. McDonalds is more properly international and they don't even use it in their name.
    Non-complaint: I like to eat at IHOP and Hardees mostly, although I like to spend an hour in the morning with an elderly gent having coffee at McDonalds. Then off to Hardees for a bracing breakfast of artery-clogging goodness. My big bro gifted me with $50 IHOP GC. Now added to the $25 IHOP GC and $25 Cracker Barrel GC I got $100 of free food for Christmas. Score!! :cheese:

    gargle blaster mouthwash? minty fresh?


    :idea: a dish washing liquid might be better to break down the oil into oblivion molecules.

    if living cells just constantly divide, does that mean the first cell is still here?
