What's the opinion on the trial so far? I personally prefer the white blinds, as they stand out more in the distance.

Overall opinion is that the white blind does look better than the amber. We had only 1 complaint that in direct sunlight it was hard to see, but the amber ones are just as bad in certain conditions and when we put both buses together there was no difference. Would like to think that when the order goes in for this years new vehicles, white blinds all round will be on the list

Ah, makes sense... should have looked closer and I would have realised!

How did you make the third one? Is it on a 144x19 display, or 144x17?

btw, the destination sizes GNE use normally for the fronts are either a 144x19 or 160x19 with/without Colour RN

I can't seem to get the font from the third one on the top row? I'm using 144x19

144 x 19

144 x 19

Mine only displays these fonts when in 144x19 mode... if I want to do the usual-looking scrolling font on the bottom row, I have to put the top row in to 10 pixels height rather than 9.

So do not fix anything and then super x should give you normal super x font which is what is on option 3 top row.

In sign config, make sure you have selected all fonts to use for that sign and also what size are you saying to use as the route number as sometimes that has an effect on the wording

Mine's different to Tom's. It just does the same bold font. I've done what you said, but nothing's changed...

Literally just ticked the 'super-X' box...

Certainly! I don't know why mine's different to Tom's though?

I gave up on it months ago when it made my fonts go weird or something like that. Decided I wasn't that interested and uninstalled it!

There was an issue with one of the HELEN updates which was doing that, we are currently using version 3.3+10, which version are you using, but do not understand if Tom is using the same version to be honest.

3.2+3... I think, but that's the one the link is for? I'll see if I can find a link for 3.3+10, but thanks for the information!

Quite interesting the amount of stuff you can make on there! Indeed one local company is using my screens so I see my own work every day

Hi, I'm about five months too late, but here's the link that I used.
I've included some 'forum-favourite' routes as an example of what you can make!

Good lad! Liking the 71 display

You get used to it, trust me....

Could anyone upload HELEN on here? Just I tried to download it from Hanover's website but I need to register and some of the required fields are obviosly there to make sure only people working at bus companies download it, for example one was depot name, while another was company.

Apologies for bringing up an old topic, but does anyone have a download link (that works!) for HELEN? Thanks

Doesn't look like it's available on the website any more. Looks like they now have a customer area, which I imagine you have to log in to for the software download.

Hi I'm chris, new to the site and hope that someone is able to help, I'm interested in using the hanover helen software and it is something
I'd love to try as I collect model buses and would like to be able to change the destinations over - having them in the correct
font and format, would anyone be willing to let me buy or gift a copy of the software please, I've been after it for a
while now and it really would help me a great deal, look forward to hearing from you, kind regards, chris.

Hanover have stopped distributing this for free via their website, so I'd rather that you didn't distribute software via the forum, for which you most likely don't have a licence to do so.

Facebook, email, etc, is another matter, and I couldn't care less what you get up to on any of them.

The thing that I've got is not necessarily software but you do the stuff in Microsoft Paint, perfect for model buses etc. If you drop me a PM with your email, I'll send you the file.
