Also, in Rijndam 1985, the first "directions" don't make sense in the M1/M2 activity.
It says:
At Noorderpoort uncouple car 5223 and stay with car 5223.

The thing is, the AI doesn't do it and if I uncouple it manually the 5223 car has a train number of F10016, so the train can't go anywhere.
BTW the car number might be 5233 I don't remember. :|

I have checked it; it is a mistake in the instructions; it should be "at Ketelplein" instead of "at Noorderpoort".
You drive the full consist to Ketelplein, there you uncouple one car and drive it to the depot.

Another thing is that in the Rijndam 2016 activity Line M1 (5500), the last "instructions" say to go from Molenwijk, to Molenwijk??? I think it's suposed to be Molenwijk to Panbos.

A second mistake with that activity on the "third instruction" you're suposed to arrive at Molenwijk at around 8:01:15. You arive (more or less) 8:03:30.

Those things you can easily change yourself. Just open the .act file; you will find the activity briefing at the top of the file.
Rijndam 2016 is not planned to recieve any more updates; it will be replaced by Rijndam 2006 in the next release.

One thing I would like to do, is make '1988' and '1994' activities with Rijndam 2006; 1988 with trains from Noorderpoort to Monument/Ketelplein & Rijnland Hospital with no line numbers, and 1994 with line numbers and the city loop completed (M1 Molenwijk-Noorderpoort, M2 Monument-CS v. Natl. Opera, M3 Rijnland ZKH v. Garenmarkt). Did the MG2 trains have line numbers after 1994?

In 2018 the SG2 type trains don't have not in service destinations (Niet Instappen, etc) Bug or Feature?

I had not noticed that before; in Rijndam 2018, I only use the SG2 on the museumline, where using the destination display isn't really needed.
I have just added it.

About the MG2; I have never seen them with line numbers. I think when the ABCDE numbers were introduced, the MG2's where already gone. Before ABCDE, the RET called all north-south lines "Erasmusline" and all east-west lines "Calandline". But that was only shown on station signs, and not on the rolling stock.

In real life the MG2 trains didn't have line numbers (iirc the line numbers were introduced in 2009, while the MG2s were withdrawn in 2002)
In Rijndam however, line numbers are kind of needed to differentiate between the route of M2 & M3 (via Natl. Opera/Garenmarkt).
Although not really necessary on the MG2s, as I'm planning on using the Emmegees only on line M1 (Molenwijk-Noorderpoort)

In my activities, there will be 43xMG2s & 50-ish SG2s, with the SG2s mainly on lines M2 & M3, and the MG2s on M1

They were withdrawn between 1998 and 2002 when the MG2/1 and SG2/1 replaced them. And SG2's are now no longer in service since 2015.

Actually that's between 199(9) and 2002 - The MG2/1 entered service in May 1999 ;) And yes 50% of the SG2/1 fleet was used to replace remainder MG2 in 2002 (there's a good reason why it all went like this) another 50% for reinforcement. The MG2 however remained as spare for a few months after withdrawal from regular service in the summer of 2002.
