Great work!! Is this performance/memory friendly now using the vanilla train?

Yes, it should have no performance impact at all; as I remade the sign textures with the same quality as vanilla.

 

For those using @Ash_735's vehicle pack, his remastered textures are also higher quality than vanilla, so it should be fine even with the modded train.

 

The reason why the modded train triggers the taxi bug is due to the exterior texture having a very high resolution (2048x2048, compared to 1024x1024 from Ash's vehicle pack and only 512x512 from vanilla), because the decals look pixelated when viewed up close.

Mod changenotes

• Reuploaded the whole mod on Nexus Mods due to the site's very sensitive security checks which mistakenly flagged the preCE version as "potentially unsafe" for no reason

Hey,

I love the mod, especially the signs they look really good and the audio is fresh as heck!, I also decided to use the "vanilla train" you uploaded as the clean trains were a bit too much for me!

Also not sure if this is the place but I wanted to say that on Vauxite Street Station, there is a flipped sign. I haven't seen it anywhere else yet so far, just thought I should mention it :)

That issue is present even in vanilla. So it's not a texture problem, but rather, a texture mapping mistake.

This should be reported to Various Fixes as they are the ones who fix issues like these, make sure to provide a screenshot with vanilla textures like shown above.

Great work! I do wish that the signage had a little bit more wear. The black looks too clean to be situated in a gritty and grimy city. 

 

Majority of the signs are clean though in vanilla; my adjustments are more focused on the font and background. I can revisit the textures to try adding more detail to them.

Mod changenotes (GTA V version 2.0)

• Added subway train textures. Unfortunately, due to changes in the subway train model, some textures were remade from scratch; others cannot be ported over and is now missing
