Harry Posted January 1, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 1, 2008 I see them everyday. I would say at least 3 out of 10 that I see are stuck on the wrong station stop. I would guess the is aware about the it and working to resolve this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdotny Posted January 2, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2008 I think the has been working on them when the R160s return back to the terminals and/or yard. By the latter end of the work week, many of the FINDs get stuck. Some of them are not the FINDs, but the TV screens. I've seen 8882 with correct FINDs, but the television screen static at Broadway Local via Whitehall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted January 2, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2008 Ya, its been a problem since day one for the MTA. But the computers on the trains are running on Windows.... But, I don't see many cars with the FIND messed up. The cars I get into usually have it working ok, or at least working but showing the wrong stop instead of it being frozen.

sebbieprops Posted January 2, 2008 Share #8 Posted January 2, 2008 I must say that every time I've been on the R160, the FIND has been functioning properly. Must be my luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Toasty Posted January 2, 2008 Share #9 Posted January 2, 2008 The one time I've been on an R160, this FIND was working fine. As of now, it has a 100% success rate IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted January 2, 2008 Share #10 Posted January 2, 2008 In the past year the FIND success rate of working has gone up. Not ot mention the LED bullet at the front of the train is always working now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
error46146 Posted January 2, 2008 Share #11 Posted January 2, 2008 eh, the FIND works sometimes. i've been in trains where the FIND was stuck. also, i think they should put the R160's on lines that have many stops, such as the F and R instead of the N, since the N doesn't really have that many stops, and then you see the blank spots on the FIND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINDGuy Posted January 2, 2008 Share #15 Posted January 2, 2008 It is true the FINDs in the Kawasaki cars do not have the most uptodate software on them. We are waiting for NYCT to approve the software change. The FINDs right now have a memory leak and that is what causes them to freeze up after 3 to 4 days of being powered up. NYCT should approve the software soon so we can update the signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

error46146 Posted January 6, 2008 Share #18 Posted January 6, 2008 they should make a special version of Windows for stuff like this (trains, vending machines, etc), instead of using Windows NT. i doubt that Windows NT was designed for running a train program all day long so maybe that's why it freezes up, instead they should make a windows that is designed to do the same thing all day long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The program has a memory leak in it, so thats why the maps freezes up after a few days of it running. You can thank the wonderfull techs at Kawasaki for this.

Harry Posted January 6, 2008 Share #20 Posted January 6, 2008 The FIND needs Windows ME to function correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
error46146 Posted January 6, 2008 Share #21 Posted January 6, 2008 The FIND needs Windows ME to function correctly. they would never use Windows ME for the find maps. it's not NT-based! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
