Sky Tram System Version 3.8

An All-Mesh Cable Tram System for up to four riders with cable supports and Bullwheel ends. It comes with 3 types of stations: a single A tram, a single B tram and a double A & B Tram station. The stations have a call button so you can call a tram to come pick you up at any station too!

A great system to place over your amusement park or scenic area to allow riders to see your whole sim from the comfort of a Sky Tram smoothly gliding over it all using "physical" motion which is very smooth. (not the non-physical motion which feels like little steps)

The system requires you to place the two bullwheels with cable supports in between for your Sky Tram to move riders from one bull wheel to the other. (the cable supports are not required if you want to save prims for example from one mountain top to another, across a valley)

A typical system will have two bullwheels, one at each end with cable towers between them. You will place those objects and then touch points on the bullwheels and cable towers to create a cable route for the cable rezzer to follow while quickly and perfectly rezzing the cables for you. You will then touch all the points again using additional HUD buttons for angles and additional touch points for the tram. And last you will set the apparent speed of the cables using the texture tab in edit to speed match the cables to the tram for a more realistic look. You can change the colors of the tram too either manually or using the built in random color on rez system. The system can use the included (or home made) stations to stop at along the way if desired.

The cable support towers can be raised higher using the included Sky Tram Cable Tower Extension bases. The bases have 15 rock face textures which allow you to set the texture to better fit the surrounds. The tower extensions are fully modifiable allowing you to stretch or shrink them to fit. You can also apply your own textures to them.

THIS SYSTEM CAN CROSS SIM LINES, if you want to see an example of a three sim Ski Lift - teleport to sim VOSS and ride the ski lift there. I made it for the Lindens back in 2008 and it is still running dependably today. You can make a 10 - 50 sim tram system if want. NO extra steps are needed. Just lay out the route and cross sim lines as much as you want as the system uses GLOBAL WAYPOINTS which view the entire grid as one single sim. If your Cable Placer gets lost coming back to you, it has a built in locater system that IM's you ever 30 minutes to tell you were it is at so you can retrieve it. (the cable placer returns in a straight line from the last point it rezzed at)

The tram car has regular sits for both male and female and also cuddles for up to two couples. (4 riders total) Each seat can have a couple cuddling or up to two riders with the choice of two different sits for each rider. You can change sit positions by touching the tram car and clicking the "back" button to the root menu then select a different sitter position. The seating order is: female, male, female, male - for up to four riders.

The HUD Buttons include:
- Save Waypoints List
- Chat - to play comments to riders about your area(s)
