Ev type metro

Description
### DESCRIPTION ###

The Ev metro cars were built by the soviet MMZ company, based on the E type (the V marks the Hungarian version - Vengrija) in the 1970s.

I scripted the metro car according to official documentations, as long as LOTUS could handle it. I made 5 individual repaints for the cars - those cars were IRL part of a train. The majority of the sounds and models were originally made by the Metrostoi team, special thanks to them for letting me use their work!

At this moment the couplings sometime don't work properly (usually what happens is that EP2 only works in the first car at brake failures), the UAVA and autostop are not scripted, the mirrors are not working because of LOTUS bugs.

I haven't touched the map and the metro cars in the past several month, and to be honest I'm starting to lose my faith in LOTUS as in general, so I publish my projects. If I work on any projects, I'll update them in the steam workshop.

### NON-DEFAULT HOTKEYS ###
The hotkeys below are the ones needed to operate the train properly (at least the brake definately):

AirbrakePlus;
AirbrakeMinus;
AirbrakeEmergency;
HandbrakePlus;
HandbrakeMinus;

EV_door_open_right;
EV_door_open_left;
EV_door_latch;

DIGITON10_play;
DIGITON10_prev;
DIGITON10_next;

"ThrottleBrake" axis is used in the train as well as "Brake" (the latter one is used for the air brake leveler).

### CHANGELOG ###
2023-04-23: Added third rail support. Doors are now working correctly via couplings.

The car is set as a metro car/U-bahn car. In the game select window there are vehicle type filters, maybe only trams are selected and that's why it's not shown.

"I've downloaded it but I can't see it as an option in the vehicle selection"
I have same problem, I cannot choose the railcar, because it's not in the list.

The name of the object. It just says "-/-".

Sorry for the late answer. What do you mean by there's no name?

Is it meant that there is no name?
PS Very nice vehicle! :)

Ive solved the problem with the invisable bogies. Just activate all 3 options for "reduced meshes" in the graphics options. Then everything works fine.

The funny thing is that the couplings (and thus the door control) worked fine for years, it only misbehaved in the last few months... But I have to check that of course.

There are some parts which are set to be only visible in F1 view (cab controls) to somewhat lower the polygon number, that's the case with the bogies as well (they are not visible from the cab). However this should not be a problem normally, I'll check that too.

The train is set as an U-Bahn, if only trams are selected in the vehicle selection (it can be set with pictograms on the left upper corner), it won't show up. Are all types selected in the new vehicle window?
