StudioPolygon E400 MMC Îlle de France Mobilitiés - Transdev LCM livery (Fictional) & custom GPM HOF file. 1.1

Fictional IDFM Transdev livery for SP E400MMC with GPM Hof

This is a fictional repaint for the Studio Polygon Enviro400 MMC DLC Pack, specifically the LHD Low Height Dual-Door model at 11.5m long.

It is worth noting that this bus will not work on GPM routes 11, 11s, 17 and 17s due to the low-bridge at Bievres on approach to Gare de Bievres.

There will probably be some spelling mistakes and incorrect translations, please blame Google Translate for that since I do not speak French.

For the intended experience, use the model listed as IDFM 400MMC 11.5m for Left-hand Drive (E40D/Voith) which should be listed under the Manufacturer [SP] Studio Polygon 400MMC (IDFM Spec) as this will redirect the bus to use some custom scripts which have text in French (via Google Translate (for the HANICS int. LED Displ. system) and for the custom SPID (Int. LCD display system) textures.

The repaint was made mostly using Krita and Paint.Net with some symbols © Îlle de France Mobilitiés, Transdev Group, StudioPolygon and the developers of the Grand Paris-Moulon DLC. Many texture assets are from StudioPolygon and the developers of GPM DLC (GPM texture files located at OMSI 2\Addons\GPM) for the vehicle livery while some HOF file symbols are from Wikimedia Commons and are © Îlle de France Mobilitiés and are supposed to be compliant with the IDFM design guide but during testing, the symbol spacing is clearly non-compliant, this will be fixed in version 1.1 .

Unfortunately, due to the way the StudioPolygon (and also Masterswitch Studios) buses read HOF files, no audio announcements will play, this is because SP and MS buses read information from the timetable instead of from the HOF file itself which would be fine on other maps, however GPM uses a custom Audio Announcement formatting in the HOF file so that announcements can play for both the Destination and the Next Stop, unlike the vehicles included in the base-game which can only play the Next Stop announcement.
