Here is the fictional announcement package for Main-Spessart, created by Tokio.
Special Thanks to Mor
We work together and he helps creating the texts.
Included Services:
always in both directions:
RB Full Service: Aschaffenburg - Gemünden
RB Aschaffenburg - Heigenbrücken
RB Gemünden - Lohr
RE Gemünden Heigenbrücken
The voices have a natural quality, and the texts have been updated to ensure a uniform and recognizable announcement for future announcement packages. I also updated some effects.
The announcements are now (and in the future) always arranged as follows:
An announcement when leaving the station (a short greeting).
An announcement before the next station (with informations! These announcements can be up to 2 minutes long at large stations, so play them in good time).
As always: the announcements work best with the external program Soundpad.
It is available on Steam (full version is needed, which I can really highly recommend).
Soundpad is easy to use and offers a clear interface.
Installation and how to use my announecments:
With Soundpad, the announcements are very easy to insert, and they are activated with hotkeys in the background.
You create a category (a service) in Soundpad in the left column. E.g. "Niddertalbahn". In this service, you insert subcategories for each service.
Simply copy the sound files from the ZIP download into the respective service. The announcements are ordered according to the correct sequence for playing.
In this image, you can see how I did it.

In Soundpad settings, select a hotkey for "play next file," e.g., Num-8.
Now you can easily play the sounds one after another with your hotkey.
I wish you a lot of fun with my announcements. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write them in the comments. :)
Disclaimer:
The idea of using soundpad for the announcements was not my idea.
I'm not claiming anything here. Manny inspired me.
I created the files myself, invented the text (credits to Mor) and edited the audio.
Anyone who wants to use the announcements is welcome.
Play sounds in voice chats in high digital quality. Add sounds or music to your microphone signal so others will hear it, too.
A wondrous mix of steep gradients, scenic hillsides and swooping turns come to life in Train Sim World 2: Main Spessart Bahn, a timeless freight-heavy and passenger-laden corridor through the heart of the German countryside.
