Switzerland Rework Discussion

[alex62]

will there be trolleybus like the one in Geneva?
and transport to geneva or from geneva to put at the repair station for the trolleybus ?

two price images on this site https://lactudegeneve.ch/trolleybus-vanhool-exquicity/ during a delivery of a trolleybus and the third image taken from google image

Trolleybuses would be interesting to see, especially as loads. We don't tend to get a lot of over-the-road vehicles as loads, so I think they'd be greatly welcome in the mix.

We have many cities in-game that feature trolleybus catenary, but no trolleybuses to use them. I get that programming the pantograph interactions is probably difficult and very low on the priority list, but I do hope it gets figured out at some point; it'd be great for immersion and making each city more unique.

@oldmanclippy Seems that no one knows where Guess 6/9 #7 is... - i´m quite sure they will bring some new screens in the next weeks

I'm trying to find a location from this photo, but no luck so far
Maybe i should try to find it using these buildings, if someone here is from switzerland, help would be appreciated

The building in the background does not fit into the landscape very well, it looks more like a mod.

Maybe i should find the map of rest stops or parking spots for buses, trucks or something like that

It does look like outskirts of a city that was expanding in the 1970/80s, and it just sort of stops there, and fields begin. Seen such things many times.
And the terrain is flat-ish so definitely north of the country. Northwest Zurich, perhaps?

It's not perfect, but I've found something:

Looking at that, it seems plausible even if lots of liberties are taken. The location would be this spot, and here's an aerial map with some of the landmarks that match the screenshot:

1) Road bridge over something in a trench, this matches the screenshot quite closely.
2) Apartment-style buildings (this is an agricultural research lab IRL, and don't really look like apartments)
3) A plot of land. It's a coach park in the screenshot, whereas now it seems to be being transformed into a retaining pond.
4) Segregated pedestrian/cycle path, this does look very similar to the screenshot.

Overall, not totally convinced that this is it, even if there certainly are some strong parallels.
