IRT Bronx Express Posted January 16, 2011 Share #226 Posted January 16, 2011 Folks, ignore the fact that I said I can't make Orange LEDs at this point. I found a very easy method to create them with NO coloring done at all. This process only took 3-5 minutes, thus eliminating unnecessary work and stress. As promised, I finally present the Orange LED signs. Bx4A extension to Pelham Bay Park Bx4A extension to 3rd Ave - 149 St I will now be able to start making requested signs that were not made at this point due to RTS CNG's time restrictions and the fact that he's at college now. I have a list in Notepad, so I don't have to worry about which is which. Enjoy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionFlyer Posted January 20, 2011 Share #235 Posted January 20, 2011 Can you hook up a flipdot sign for another member? 144 STATEN ISLAND 144 via RICHMOND AV Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. I made the sign, but for some reason, it keeps coming out very slow, no matter what I do: I make my signs in GIMP. When I preview the animation it looks amazing. Truly a flipdot sign. But when I save it, it comes out slow for some reason. So if you want to see how it should display, download Microsoft Gif Animator. It's free. If i can figure out how to make these faster, I can do a lot of true flipdot signs requests. I anybody knows how I can make these faster, please let me know. Any other request I can do right away.:cool: I can do this one today If you're still taking requests, I have a couple: Frame 1 4 SANTA MONICA 2 ST Frame 2 4 via S MONICA BL and the second: Frame 1 534 MALIBU PCH-TRANCAS Frame 2 534 via P COAST HWY via POINT DUME And here are the timetables for your reference: 4 534 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe it takes 2 hours for you. Overkill, I'm telling you. Also... Wow you do this much different then I do. All I do is fill in the dots one by one (according to what the letter, number, or symbol is), and some copying and pasting (if I have the letter or number made already). It usually takes around 30 minutes to do. Your signs look GREAT:tup: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly how RTS makes the flipdot signs using the Luminator MAX scrolling, but his comes out slightly faster (he animates it with Photoshop I think).

My fonts are always ready and I just paste them on the LED template, and center the destination minus the route number. :tup: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriston Lewis Posted January 26, 2011 Share #250 Posted January 26, 2011 Seems interesting, any info about it? :tup: A few RTSs that came in around early 2000 have TwinVision LeDot signs installed, a bit of a hybrid between flipdot and the brightness of LED. Before the advent of orange LEDs, these signs were one of the few places to see extended readings (along the likes of "B41 via FLATBUSH"). They were also installed on the Vikings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
