Class 158 Sound Mod

Thanks, and same. At the end of the day, I am my own customer for this. TSC is a place where I can share this kinda thing O_o

how do i start it

You probably installed it incorrectly. If you're on Steam, the instructions are given.

I've installed into my directory - common\Train Sim World 3\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype\Content\DLC, but shows no signs of working. Pretty sure I've done everything right.

Try putting an exclamation mark at the start of the file name. I know this mod works, and works for 30 other people who haven't said anything. You might have a conflicting mod... but 4 days after release?

Nope. Still nothing. Not a clue as it's the only mod installed, and it's a fresh install, from yesterday.

m; Try putting it in Paks not DLC ive had issues like that and thats usually the way i solved it :)

It's not his faut lol

That sound was not implemented by dtg i believe.

All three have engine sounds. But for whatever reason, the idling sound for the Cummins one is quieter than the Perkins one. The next versions will come at some point in the near future.

No, there is literally no engine sound, you can hear nothing inside or outside. Even when you increase the throttle, it's silent.

I just tested it so I know this isn't true

I'll even send you a video if you want??

No I don't want you to send me a video. It works for 170 other people.

I don't see why you're being rude..? Literally just asking for a little help for a mod you uploaded...

We're done here. I gave you my response. I literally said a new version is coming SOON. If that's not good enough for you, what am I supposed to do? Fix your computer? I can only replace the mod with something else which works... which is coming SOON. I've said this already. The fix is coming... soon.

My apologies, I skipped over it, however you never stated 'fix', then you started to be rude, and now you're continuing.. I've been very reasonable.
Dear me..

Oh you fixed it, wasn't so hard was it??

it’s when working in multiple. The rear units do not emulate the sounds that the front is making. No engine noise for sure.

But I’ve un-installed it anyway as there are many inaccuracies here once again.

1. Track joints are very ‘in your face’ and are not recorded directly off a 158. They’re the same as used for the 166 and even then weren’t the best quality of sample.

(Original track joints are nice, accurate, correctly subtle and balanced well)

1a) - DSD and AWS sounds might be a recording of the modern versions but actual quality is clearly a bad sample rather than a decent microphone being used to capture true sound of these.

2. Running sounds aren’t as good as original as once again. The original was recorded using high tech recording equipment off an actual 158 unit and are truly wonderful representations of the real life stock.

3. Real life cabs are not noisy, they’re much quieter than this.

4. As mentioned, when working in multiple the rear units engine sounds are missing.

Therefore I deleted the mod and like most of these sound mods, The audio for this unit has been balanced really well in house, with the sounds provided by AP. The professional audio team have done an amazing job and doesn’t need to be messed around with by amateurs.

A good try, but definitely not an improvement or one for replacing the default sounds on this occasion.

It is still WIP but it's produced to match real cab videos of the Class 158 which you can find easily online. Sure the exterior running sounds aren't recorded from a Class 158, but as stated in the changelog, I need to go and find one first which costs nearly £100. Thank you for your feedback, but as far as what I do with this mod, you don't get to say what I can and can't do. I can try and fix the bug for multiple working at the very least, but your comments must stay on-topic.

Right now I am working on the 1972 Tube Stock and so the improvements you've asked for will come a bit later if that's alright? A great deal of real audio building goes into these mods now as you can tell with the 395. Give it some time. If it says "Work In Progress"... it really is. Audio is time consuming and expensive. I'm a full-time engineer and this stuff is free for you, so construction goes a long way for improvement.

I can improve the samples for AWS, but DSD/DVD is on the mark. Track joints? Well they can be replaced, but the DTG ones have to go in my view. No content is being cut, if you understand. Over time, this mod will develop - requiring patience and onboarding. In the hands of the editor (me), I can do almost anything I want including what you want too.

Boom, AWS sample and engine concurrency fixed. You should be able to hear up to sixteen Class 158 engines at the same time.

how do i play i need steps

I'd certainly like to. I'm updating the 1972 Stock at the moment

Сan you do this mod for class 323?

No need. the 323 is actually accurate as they are one of local units

Don't get me wrong, the 323 could be better because VVVF but it's already very good

It's still over a month away

feels like it lol

feels like it lol

i wonder how the new audio sounds

Not compatible with TSW4 yet

does 158 have a release for the new audio yet?

The perkins mod would change all the engine sounds to perkins

Yes I understand, I'm just not sure what the new sound mod does, all sounds including the engine change to cummins?

I don't know. I've not done anything deliberately nor touched anything related to bridges

Thanks for responding, no worries if this doesn't have an obvious cause.

Out of interest I was testing something else in my setup by driving an 801 down the ECML earlier and happened to pass a 158 service on the slow lines. As I did so the 158's sound appeared as if it was inside the Azura's cab, which was a bit weird, that doesn't normally happen with the default sounds. So something is a bit odd with the ECML route, but who knows what.

It is what it is, not the end of the world to take the mod out unless I am specifically driving the 158 on the MML.

That has nothing to do with the sound mod, but rather the game itself. I think there is a bug with cab occlusion when going under a bridge. Tsw4 brought tunnel reverb back and for some reason, the 158 has an audio "bug" I guess where going under a tunnel causes the external sound to be heard.

Correct
