(RELEASED) Official Thread for SIR North Shore's New Tech Trains

[coneyislandDFNQ]

Thanks, that's on my list of things to do actually.  All of the downloads are now .7z form and it really cut down on the size.

I'll send you the interior LED panel tonight. I have your email already.

Try changing the wall texture of the R143 to a new one; I noticed that in the texture it already has, you can see part of a seat and railing

Take a look at this picture I uploaded to Flickr to see what I mean: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66557704@N02/6097865450/#in/photostream

I have fixed it dont worry i will upload a pic soon

[pitor160]

i dont know if this will help in anyway , but today i confirmed that the r143 can be programmed into any line and have all of the routes programmed in for automated announcements just like their cousins the r160 . Before i only thought they had the M and the L . im uploading the vid i took of that and ima post it here .

Not to be disrespectful but weres the vid

[F train fan]

I just finished driving the V train and got me wondering if you guys are going to make a R179 V train
in the meantime before we even know what is actually going on with the orange M train line it is not
meant to be mean in any way shape or form it is just a suggestion

I agree, I'll believe it when I see it.

Just because it isn't done doesn't mean it's not possible. BTW, SIR, I haven't been able to check the trains lately, but do they have curved roofs?

[coneyislandDFNQ]

Yes for the exterior.

Havent gotten a chance to upload it . Basicly i asked the conductor at 8th ave if he can change it to another program besides the L and M and he said he only knows one code so he put up the J to broad st and said the 143 works just like the 160 when putting up the route program [enter in a Code and itll put up the program u want]

I guess you never heard of the term, "pics or it didn't happen."

I could almost literally say anything and would you believe it?

Ok Take your time to upload

[nelson3001]

also there are a few things i noticed while testing:

This train contains a FIND system while their real life counterpart has a strip map

This train contains metal ends by the cab while the real life counterpart has like a light grey wall paper [IDK what its called]

Also on the back of the exterior LED sign [Thats the inside] , is another screen which has a Led display which shows Information like [Access a ride phone number , bus info , metrocard info, etc.] unlike in the 160 where it has been replaced by a picture .


i think updating this would make the train better and more realistic.

But overall great job.

Thank You I noticed that too. Also instead of having the regular storm door I saw the cab door on both ends of the first car.

I have heard of it. But when it comes to computers, this is pretty much possible.

Heres the 143 J at 8av on the L. Look at the car number if you dont believe its a R143

R143 J train at 8ave Manhattan

I've asked this before but would anyone like to modify the R143 exterior to look more like an R143? I'm very satisfied with the way it sounds now and I'll add more versions of the R143 in the future like the R179. I would like to move on to creating a new Siemens R179 but I want to release a new exterior for the R143 first!
