Quick note related to the external floor indicators

You may have noticed that in certain buildings, outside floor indicators are present only for the service/freight elevators. I removed such indicators from those places because in some copies of the simulator from early 2018, external floor indicator disappeared (I remember experiencing this bug when I was working on Marketing Square in April 2018. However, because this issue was fixed in a different copy of the sim, the indicators were added (as usual) to the newer buildings since then.

Anyways, some buildings (excl. mods) still lack such indicators on at least one floor (apart from one or more service elevators, if present), so let me share the reason why:

1. Transnational Office Plaza: This building is simulated to be built during the time when external indicators weren't greatly used in real elevators (at least I still leave the parking elevators' external indicators intact).
2. Marriott Marquis Interchange City: Intended to be like certain EPL Kone elevators in real world.
3. Marketing Square: Intended to be like some older Hitachi elevators in real life, which lacked external indicators.
4. Skyscraper School (V3) (Matrix Building): Intended to be like the real school building which also has outside indicators only for Elevator 7.
5. Apex Beach Hotel (Bridge elevators): I thought I would make them look like some elevators in the United States that lack such indicators, according to what I have seen from some real elevator videos.
6. Apex Beach Hotel (Parking Garage): Intended to be like a real-life mall with the same Mitsubishi fixtures, which also has outside indicators only for the service elevators, and only the lanterns for the passenger ones.

However, because I recently added destination dispatch to Skydream Tower and Simulation Tower, external indicators will not be added to the DD elevators, mocking the appearance of such thing IRL. Additionally, I also recently recently instated such indicators to the passenger elevators in all three buildings in Tennerland Complex, which will be available in the next release of my IP.

Note: Older versions of buildings (including mods and discontinued places) will not have these indicators added. MelvinMan10 (talk) 13:44, 26 October 2024 (CDT)
