A random collection of my smaller mods for cab sound occlusion and route bloom reduction.
09 Oct 23 - Some mods now compatible with TSW4 (See below)
Sound:
Bescot_BPEF40cabvolume : Balances the in cab audio on the Boston MBTA F40ph. In the default loco the audio practically went silent when you had the windows closed. TSW2/3/4
Bescot_BR155cabvolume : Balances the in cab audio on the DB BR155. In the default loco the external and motor audio practically went silent when you had the windows closed and was drowned out by the sound of the trailing wagons. TSW2/3/4
Bescot-BRO-PRESS155cabvolume : Balances the in cab audio on the PRESS BR155 (Bremen). In the default loco the external and motor audio practically went silent when you had the windows closed and was drowned out by the sound of the trailing wagons. TSW3
Bescot_BR182MRCEcabvolume : Balances the in cab audio on the HBK (MRCE) DB BR182. In the default loco the cab was drowned out by the sound of the trailing wagons. TSW2/3/4
Bescot_BR182RTcabvolume : Balances the in cab audio on the Rapid Transit (Traffic Red) DB BR182. In the default loco the external and motor audio practically went silent when you had the windows closed and was drowned out by the sound of the trailing wagons or DoStos. TSW2/3/4
Bescot_Class700AWSVolume : Increase volume of Class 700 AWS, Internal rail joints, and air brake sounds. TSW3
Bescot-CoreUSfreightcarsounds : Balances sounds on the US freight cars (tested in SPG & HSC) NB. Some freight cars are not set up to play flange squeal properly which at the moment I cannot change, I decided to remove flange sounds back to default as some Euro wagons use these sounds and they're not really compatible. TSW2/3/4
Bescot-HSCES44cabvolume : Balances the in cab audio on the HSC ES44 so that the cab is better sound insulated from the prime mover when the doors and windows are closed. As you open each window and door the external sounds increase in volume. TSW2/3/4
Vision: (For TSW3 and TSW4 only)
Bescot-TSW3-BLK-Bloomreduction: Reduces the high bloom in the Bakerloo Line route to match the more recent DTG standard (bloom scale changed from 2.5x to 1x)

The CoreUS mod made all of my european freight car flange sounds a deafening 1 second loop.
Ye. DTG use the US core freight sounds on stuff that wasn't meant to be like that. I guess pull the mod from the dlc folder when using euro stuff.
Can you please fix the bloom/over-driven gamma of the Horseshoe Curve route with a mod like this?
Done :) Bescot-TSW3-HSC-Bloomreduction.pak
Thank you, sweet Jesus! You made HSC driveable!
You're welcome!
Thank you very much for the BR 155.
Thanks a Lot for all this Mods !
Great job for the BR182 for Rapid Transit. Do you think you can do the same for the BR 182 MRCE for Hamburg-Lubeck? Thanks for yours mods.
Yes, I'll do that soon. I have looked at the MRCE version, and although you hear the lok running sounds better than the RT version, I also think the wagons behind are too loud inside the cab.
Thanks. I'm rediscovering the BR 155 and BR 182 with your mods :)
Glad you are enjoying the mods, The MRCE version is now done :)
I've already tried your mod, great. Thank a lot.
RTBR182 cab volume mod : very good ! Great
one thing I've noticed with the f40 sound mod is that at notch 8 with windows closed, there is no engine sound at all in the cab. other notches work fine, but it disappears at 8, so all you hear are the track sounds made by the passenger cars
I've just tested that again, and can't reproduce sorry - it works properly here (TSW3)
Probably cuz im soo used to playing with all windows open and the f40 does get real quiet with windows all closed. Btw, what exactly did you change with the us freight pack? Was it just volume reduction so it doesn't sound like you're hearing the freight cars in the cab?
CoreFreight, well I actually increased volumes of the cars, and this week I went back to the default flange squeal as DTG changed something in the core which made the flange sounds very odd at low speed.
The cabvolume mods are done by changing occlusion volume mixes- cabs have sound occlusion and without the mixes it would mean external sounds play the same volume inside the cab as outside. You want to strike the correct balance which DTG sometimes don't as they copy/paste them across different DLC - you can edit these mixes with UassetGUI editor and spend some time fixing them to control the internal volume of each external sound. Each stage of a door or window opening adds a mix - there are 10 levels of volume in total.
The sound of Bescot-CoreUSfreightcar is great, just what was needed! Good balance, nothing sticks out, everything is fine, thank you!
may i request a single .pak with all the fixes for the bloom?
With the F40, I don't notice any difference (to the engine) with or without the mod (TSW 3). In both cases, the engine is very quiet with the windows closed.
How much did you change it? Or is something not working right?
Not so much the volume of the engine with the F40, more the bogie running sounds and wind noises at speed - you couldn't hear them inside the cab. Might be a bit subtle unless you wear headphones.
Hi
I only install the BR 155 mod. now i have a BR185 sound in the 155. this is a little bit strange. :)
Sry nothing to do with your mod.
on HRR the Timetable DB 87100 make that the 155 sound like a 185
Great work. Without your sound rebalancing mod, the RT 182 is unplayable with the silent sounds. Why has DTG not fixed this yet, who knows.
is it possible to make the noise volume of cars 10 percent louder? Bescot-CoreUSfreightcarsounds
Thank you again for your work.
Small question: for the BRO PRESS BR155, is it possible to turn up the sound of the cooling fans because you can't hear it at all in the cabin? Like the other mod you did for the BR 155. Thank you in advance.
can you increase the in cab volume of the UP SD70ACe? it seems too quiet for a "thundercab" unit. if it had the isolated cab it might be accurate as default but it is not.
Didn't buy the DLC sorry man
Ebic update
I'm sure you'll do somethin with da AWS sound on your own ebic mod but I'm a bit deaf for high pitch tones and can't hear the AWS on the 700. Not sure why they made the joints so quiet either
I've got some excellent recordings of the joints for the 700. Some really hearty steal sounds that make the diaphragms rattle and gears rumble
Noice, look forward to that - I'll change/delete this mod when you've got that far. Was gonna ask a favour re the 313 but you don't take DMs.
Actually you reminded me I should go to the 508s and that to do the 313 from scratch
Ye, not much longer for the 508s. I went up there yesterday - such great sounding units with character. Tried the 313 an was reminded how clinical it sounds. Was wondering if you do for me, a cue for brake squeal and flange if you got time.
Could you please do a one pack of Bloom Reduction please?
Yes, at some point. I keep forgetting.
Been having some issue with mods not playing nice with TSW4.
up until the updates recently pushed out, all was okay with your mods.
But after installing / uninstalling several different mods it turned out the two sound mods.
BR 155 Increased Cab Volume (RSN) and BR 155 Increased Cab Volume (BRO)
Had TSW4 in an endless loading screen, I also uninstalled Core US Freight Cars Better Audio Balancing.
I will reinstall this one and see what happens. I will update this post if the mod is working or not.
I do have screenshots if you would like to see what I am seeing, I can put them in Google Drive, or upload them here.
That's odd. Are you on Steam? All TSW4 files work 100% for me. I'll check again when I'm at home though. You should be able to attach screenshots here.
Yes, I'm on Steam, and I have four screenshots, there could also be a mod conflict, unsure if that is so or which one.
Just try the traffic red version on its own please. Id forgotten that the BRO Press Blue one hadnt been updated for TSW4.
Reason being, is that at the time I didnt own BRO and couldnt test it. it was built with info given from another player
Images removed to un-clutter the thread. things have been worked out.
Okay that is working okay, :) the life of modding, I do appreciate all y'all do, just an FJI CSX and Norfolk Southern Safety Vest Update also caused the same issue, already sent a message, to the author. and you can remove the images if you wish, or if you like I can. so it does not clutter the thread.
No worries. I can't delete your posts so I'll let you do that :)
okay, I will remove them so they don't clutter things up. Should not have said and asked that here, apologies.
