First off, I know pitor160 PMed me about an R143 strip map a while ago and to be quite honest, I forgot about it until I saw SIR's post. I apologize for that.

Now that that's out of the way, I've got around to making one. I know it's not exactly like the ones on the real R143s, but I've never been on that particular train type and you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find decent pics of the strip maps on the net. Also, I don't know if you wanted a .png file or a .bmp one so did both.

You're welcome.

Wow, that looks excellent Lance! Thanks for making one so quickly and I'll make sure to add your name to the credits. 

Thanks Lance I will be implenting them today on the R143

Check your email.

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 unlike in the 160 where it has been replaced by a picture .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.

Thanks for the feedback! That's exactly why I numbered this version 8.9 instead of 9 because I wanted to add in the LED info box, change that metal part but I think the R143s are due to receive FIND systems in the near future. I also want to change the color of the R143 interior so that it is more sterile like the R142As. Right now it's just a modified R179 (M) train.

Also if possible would any like to create a texture for the (L) strip map? I can't get a solid picture of it without the poles in the way.

That's a good idea, I'll update the files soon so that they are .7z to reduce the sizes. And don't worry about it, it's no rush!

It's just a combination of the sound files as well as the exterior files. OpenBVE development in 2011 is much further than it has been in years and it's now able to handle higher detailed sounds and objects as you already know. If anyone's pc/laptop can't handle the NTT files whether it's due to file space, old graphics card or slow internet, the only sound advice I could give is to not download it.

R143 V8.9 Released! It includes new sounds, a tweaked train.dat file and a new exterior. There are a few changes I would like to make before I release version 9 and I also want to check out Pito's R143 first as well and see what he's been working on. The new panel by Mr. Railfan has not been completed yet but when it is, it will be released with this R143.

Download is on the first page.

It was supposed to be, but the R143 is going to have a new panel so it may take a bit longer. And since the (D) was released, I thought it would be nice to have an updated (D) R179 along with the rest.

hey (SIR) or anyone else...im a huge fan of openbve but im not as active
i do have a question though: the R179 has the exterior and the sounds like the R160, the only difference is the panel
if someone could tell me if thats true or not...that would be great

Well, there are no big differences except the route icon in the CBTC screen and the fact that it says "R179A" on the panel instead of R160, so I guess you could say it is sort-of true.
BTW, SIR, since the R179 already has working interior LED's, will you also (if it's possible) make them synchronized with what station you are at, as long as you are driving the right route? Like, for example, if I was driving the (F) train and I was just at Kings Hwy station, it would say that the next stop is Avenue P, and so on, instead of just always saying that the next stop is Parsons Blvd. Just a suggestion...

The real R179 will most likely be another rendition of the R143 & R160 so that's why it seems so similar in OpenBVE but when the real R179 design is released, I'll definitely change it up.

Also, I would like that feature more than anything subwaytrainoperator but it's only possible through a plugin like DJ Hammers mentioned which is an area that I have no expertise on. I used to only develop new sounds for BVE4 trains so actually developing trains for OpenBVE is still new to me right now.

The next train due for an update will be the R143.

Yes they all have the hissing sound it's just that all the R142s don't sound the same.

Very nice improvements! However, is it possible to get clearer R142 recording. The motor sound, especially the first two notes, seems to contain a lot of static noise.

Sure, I can get that done.

so will the new version of the R142/A contain the blinking yellow light and a find display

Not on my version but mostly likely Bstyles R142 will have that.

why does the R179 Q bombardier sounds like the R143

The R179 is a fictional train and there should be two versions of the Q train. One with the R143 sounds and 1 with the R160 sounds.

If my computer gets restored I will send you an animated file to copy from which entails the code for animating signs with the font and correct colors. Give me a week or 2.

Nice, I was going to use your <6> train as a template for the animated signs but that will work too!

The final version of the R142 has been released and features new interior textures! Bstyles' R142, when released, will be more advanced and realistic. For now, enjoy! 


Updates are a little slower because of the summer time but I do plan on adding more lines to the R179 package.
