K5HL Hornsound Mod: BNSF ES44C4 & NS ES44AC - Cajon Pass & Horseshoe Curve

Description

MODDERS NOTES:

  • HORSESHOE CURVE: The bell sound samples have been replaced with the samples from the CJP ES44C4 due to the overall better sound quality.
  • HORSESHOE CURVE: There may appear to be some wierd issues regarding this specific horn such as the end hornsound file not playing when sounding it off too quickly, or the start and end hornsounds having a slightly higher doppler pitch than the loop sound when viewing the locomotive when it is travelling at speed in free camera view. Rest assured, this is not due to the mod itself, rather due to the way Skyhook scripted the sound cues of the horn.

This mod aims to replace the default hornsounds for the Cajon Pass ES44C4, and the Horshoe Curve and Norfolk Southern Heritage Livery ES44AC locomotives, to a more accurate sounding K5HL horn (recorded by me), the standard horn that these locomotives have in real life.
