love that sound.

Avatar of Gulfcoast_aviation™

This brings so much life to an incredibly dated sound set. This is a must for all GP7/9 drivers in sim! I'd love to see this converted to be used on the E and F units in a future mod!

Avatar of CentralJerseyRailfan

They will not be supported because they use a different prime mover type. 12-567 dual is what the E8 has

Kommandant 16 Sept 2021

I suggest using the sounds from the TruRail Simulations CNW E8. As far as I know, those are the only dual-567 sounds out there for TS.

More precize:
The audioblueprints there load the Geo from Donnerpass. If Donnerpass is not present, then the body model of the F7 is not loaded. Taken out it's ok .

I have the Clinchfield addon. The sounds seem to work on my F7, but the B units are not showing up for some reason. TS2021

dosent work for me with the NH gp9s if i use them with this mod they turn invisible .

Avatar of Kommandant
Kommandant 16 Sept 2021

This is a common error if you do not have the correct "SoundEmitter" file. You will want to make a set of folders called Audio, then Markers. In the Markers folder, drag and drop a SoundEmitter.geopcdx and its associated Textures file from some asset you already have. Then change the line of code in your EngineSound.bin, and you should be good. For whatever reason, the pack references a file from Donner Pass, and the game engine can't find it because you probably don't have Donner Pass.

I am using the HSC Addon for this sound mod and now the loco wont show in game its invisible but with floating coupalers. This is also true for my other F7's. Does anyone else know how to fix this because the sounds are nice but it would also be nice to have a visibale locomotive. Also the cab shows but not the exterior body.

Avatar of PhUnKi_Ro0sTa

Was wondering, could it be possible to have on the earlier F7s/G7s (Horseshoe Curve/Clinchfield) a Leslie A200 or equivalent horn?

Avatar of CentralJerseyRailfan

They will receive the correct horns in a future update.

Avatar of AverageSCPSLEnjoyer

How do you activate the quill of the M5?

Avatar of CentralJerseyRailfan

Not quillable atm, would be too much work to do so. I may consider adding the quill to only railroad specific units that actually had M5s like maybe Western Maryland, Western Pacific, Baltimore & Ohio, and Chesapeake & Ohio

I was having the invisible locos too, it was something related to Donner Pass route and the FL9. If you don't have both of them locos invisible.

Hello, thanks for your work on this pack. I have run into one issue with the B&O Mountain Sub stock and I thionk it's releated to the braking scripts those locomotives use (the brakes done by Mike Rennie). My issue is that when releasing the brakes or putting it into lap there is a sound effect that playes repeatedly very quick. As far as I can figure out this is because the way the braking system works you can see the brake status moving rapidly back and forth between Apply and Hold Lapped, or Release and Applt depending on what you're trying to do. This seems to be triggering the "AIR_TrainBrakeRelease.wav" and "AIR_TrainBrakeApply.wav" repeatedly at a very higher frequency of repetition creating a loud sound pretty hard on the ears.

I tried copying over the sound effects mod to the B&O Retro Pack F7s and had the same issue...I think it just comes down to tweaking how the train brake sounds are triggered for these specific locomotives but now I'm getting beyond my knowledge level.

Thanks again for this great sounds pack, hopefully this is something that can be worked out.

Very nice sound mods. However, FL9 (NH) shows and drives, but no loco sounds at all, and I have to use F2 key to overcome "tracks.bin" file missing at the start of existing scenarios.
I am not yet very "file editing savvy", but if someone were kind enough to share how-to-fix instructions I can do it. I use TS tools regularly, Notepad++ whenever necessary to see what's inside, and I've been know to occasionally use the "serz" file.
Thanks in advance to any kind souls out there.

Indeed there seems to be little typo in the EngineSound.bin for the FL9. The file references to "CentralJerseyRailfan\16-645BC_SP\Audio\RailVehicles" folder, but the proxyfile actually is located in "CentralJerseyRailfan\16-567_SP\Audio\RailVehicles* folder.

After adjusting this, the sound works for me. Only one problem I do not understand - once the Roots Blower sound starts playing, it does not stop playing in external view. In Cabview, the sound is fine.

We need on the HSC/Clinchfield/FRC F7s, WM BL2, and B&O retro pack a Leslie A200/Wabco E2 horns.

I just tried it with the new DTM's F3. Great job. However I get some strange sound effects when releasing the brakes. Tbh I only tried one of the included Wasatch scenarios, with the UP F3, haven't tried any of the others yet.
At any rate, thank you for sharing this with us.

Awesome sound set, like night and day! I'm having one small issue, which is that on units equipped with them, the dynamic brakes seem to be completely silent. Does anyone else have that problem? Is that by design?

Competely aware of this issue. Dynamic brake fan audio will be implemented in the future.

If you don't mind me asking, when will you be reuploading your other enhancement packs? I know you said you took them down to see how they behave with TS Classic but I personally feel like at this point you would probably know what the differences are, if any, and there dosen't seem to be much with the game anyways. So when will you be putting your other enhancement packs back online? I really miss them.

I think this soundpack is causing a problem with the brakes on the F3 in the Santa Fe pack, they scripting for the brakes works at first but after the first set and release the scripting just cuts out and the brakes will neither apply nor release

If you have the UP F3, just take the script file from that one and put it in the ATSF one, and replace it.

I just have one problem, the horns are a little to quite for my liking and I would love to hear those great sound file abit louder. Do you have any advice on how I could turn up the volumes.

I downloaded the latest version of this mod a couple of weeks ago, and overall it's great! But I'm in the B&O F7 Blue Grey and its horn is not very loud in external view. I'm not even sure if this mod applies to that F7, but please consider making the horns BLARINGLY loud at 100 yards in external view. Too many DTG locomotives have terrible horn sounds in external view, in that you can hardly hear them at all when they should instead be extremely loud. Thanks!
