How to change the Led signs on the R38,R40S/M,R42,R44,R142 and R143?

Any one mind answering this question

Sorry I don't get into the forums too much lately as I've been busy with life. But to answer your question, I think you might need a rule of some sort for the display signs. I know that's the case with the German Desiro Railcars. I'm sure Magicland can help you with this as I think he's the creator of the subway cars.

I know that this isn't a direct answer to your question, but hopefuly this will get you in the right direction to solve your problem.

Good luck.

Do you have photoshop, or a .tga editor? In the content manager, if you choose edit the file in explorer, you will see a couple of folders. Open the one that says sign01.tga for the side destination sign and one of the walls is the front destination sign depending on what train you want to change. After you change it, save it again as a .tga file.
 
If I remember right

I think I know what is wants, yes there is different route signs built into these cars the only thing is you can't change them in the normal manner using change destination command.


If I rember right it is part of the car number. try this

Check the car number on the side of the car
Use the ? to call up the car properties
Now check what the car number is in the properties, if I have remembered right you will find it has a extra digit at the start or end, this digit can be from 0 -9 there is 10 different destinations built into these cars,

You can also change the car number as long as you keep within the correct group and add this extra digit back in the right place for the destination.

The Low V cars are even more intresting when you change them the lamps on the roof at the ends of the cars also change between Red, Yellow, Green, White and none.

Hope this helps

That was the way my cars originally worked. I believe they've all been updated to support scripted route selection (which can be set by the user in Surveyor, or automatically changed by rules which can be included with a route). The cars he's inquiring about weren't built by me, and as such don't have advanced features like that.
