Class 158 Sound Mod

Perhaps the GOAT Sprinter, the Class 158s and 159s are a regular appearance for those travelling around Wessex, the Midlands, Northern England, Wales, and Scotland. This sound mod is Work In Progress, but ready to be put out there as my time for sound this Spring has ran out.

There are three packages which you can choose from for your personal preference. All three options will provide you with new interior and exterior sounds regardless of the engine:

All packages:

• Detailed running recordings for the exterior and cab boost the mechanical feel of the train
• New interior track joint recordings clear the Class 158 of default Train Sim World sounds
• Horn recordings, with the same setup as the Class 395 Sound Mod, smoothly differentiates the inside and outside
• AWS, DSD/DVD, and PRM standard door alarms capture the likes of the Sprinter
• Added the whirring of fans to the interior when the engine is powered on

Cummins:

• Nothing is added nor taken away from the Armstrong Powerhouse engine sounds you already have in Train Sim World
• New recordings will be saught in Summer to make the audio more complicated

Perkins:

• An entirely custom sound set which makes the engine audio as complex as with the Class 166 for Train Sim World
• Unique engine, exhaust, and hydroviscous drive sound effects apply inside and outside the train with dedicated recordings
• Unable to change physics

Mixed:

• The random chance that a car will use sounds of either the Perkins or Cummins power is 50/50 as a technical limitation
• Adds variety to the driving experience, but also trainsets with mixed sound sets
• Both the Perkins and Cummins sounds are volume balanced and attenuated effectively in the event of mixing
