Class 385 Sound Mod

The Class 385 is here in Train Sim World with an all new sound enhancement mod!

This train is among ScotRail's most prized rolling stock. It's spacious and decently comfortable. A total of 3/4 AC motors are mounted to the driving cars of the train. Here, I was able to capture the sound of the inverter's signal. Hitachi's AT200 definitely deserves better audio quality than what fell out of Rivet Games' build. So me and Raphael took it upon ourselves to just redo all of its traction sound mix:

Completely new traction sounds

• Recordings from the Class 385: https://youtu.be/T4O5WQO9hyk
• Extensive sound mix built by both of us separates interior and exterior audio
• Hitachi AT200 inverter recordings mixed to match the frequency spectrogram almost exactly
• Separate interior and exterior rolling sounds and track joints
• Improved exterior rolling sounds will come at a later date

Reworked horn

• Reproduced by ear to provide a more accurate warning horn
• Separate interior horn will come at a later date

Tailored safety system audio

• Corrected sounds for AWS and Driver's Vigilance Alarms

Softer recordings

• New recordings for the mechatronic passenger door system
• Random selection of passenger door alarms
• Separate exterior and interior aircon recordings
• Random selection for tread brake release sounds

Known issues

• Inverter never sounds offline
