new LAWO display

Unfortunately i have to make a totally new display for the ARC bus, because the bus has LAWO display which has only LED lights. For this reason first i try to make lights in the cfg file with different name for every LED lights. There is the result:
The question is that how many lights can i make? Beacuse with this solution i need minimum 1200lights (front, side, rear display) in the cfg file of the modell.

Wouldn't it be better to script the displays (if there was an option to show pixels in blocks of three or four for flip-dot and on-off for LED and just make the letters aligned) rahter than make a separate object for each LED?

There is no flip-dot, just LED.
display in bigger picture
As you see there is only LED-s and i tried the texture version but it looks so stupid. With the light object it looks much more beautiful.

Yeah, I know it's LED only.

What about the text textures, like in the MANs? Still, it seems to be rather stupid - no offence - way of scripting a display.

Apart from that I guess this will be an awful lot of work, I doubt that it'll have a positive effect on the performance.
I don't know anything about scripting, but couldn't you try to set the display texture as bright as possible (so e.g. also in the night 100%) and then use a font for LED?

I made your version too, but i think it's not the best.
So i continue the first version on the other hand would like to test how many lights can the game manage and how changes the FPS.
front display Of course it's a very very slow work, but everything for the quality

Is it possible to use a text texture as light and night map? If yes, problem solved, I think..

Text-textur. (Font contains only characters from 1-0, no space and others, this couses an error)

You don't have to set the texttexture as light or night map - just set the material's emissive color value (in the x file already) to white!

Thanks! Looks much better now.. Like here? https://omnibussimulator.forumieren.com/t3326-night-texture

Exactly like that!
