Looks so nice!
Did you plan to make a way that side branch indicator can be changed to accomodate to the map ?

Already did multiple variations, it'll be controllable just as a destination display.
Re: [WIP] Paris RATP MF77 metro
So... You prefer a rolling destination display instead of the 2-destination light indicator?
It would make it more flexible in the simulator (capable of showing a lot more destinations), but it would not be like how it is in reality.
For those who do not know; these trains are used in Paris on line 7 and 13. Line 7 has two branches on the south end. So when these trains run southbound, this indicator shows which destination this train will go to (Marie D'Ivry or Villejuif Louis Aragon). When the train runs northbound, the display is dark (as the only northbound destination is La Courneuve, so all trains go there and displaying the destination is not needed).
Line 13; same story, ony here the branches are on the northbound trip.
Currently, I have created a system where you can have 6 sets of destinations (6 sets of "both destinations dark", "top destination illuminated" and "bottom destination illuminated") for each map. But as with this system, it would still only be realistic to use one 'set' at the time, each specific train can only run on one line.
If I change it to a rolling destination display, a lot more destinations can realistically be shown. However, this is not like the real MF77 trains, who don't have that as they do not need it (lines on the Paris metro no not share tracks, so trains are always running on the same line, and therefore showing just two possible destinations is often enough).
I have no strong preference. A rolling destination display would be easier and more flexible.
@HexxOP: you are the creator of the 3D model, I am just converting and programming it. You decide.

From a personal point of view, I think it's perfect as you implemented it.
It's nice to have it works the same way as in reality (but with enough flexibility for the sim), especially as today it's a function that is only on the 77.
