Steel Pack MP15DC Sound Issues

Unread postby rjbucolo » Wed Aug 15, 2012 6:49 pm

I am unable to get the horn or bell sounds to function (both inside and outside of cab) for the MP15DC supplied with the SteelWorks pack. Anyone else have this problem? If so have you been able to fix the problem?

I do not hear the radio in it as well but I do hear the horn and i think the bell i have not tried the bell to be honest

Edit 1: I was wrong I get none of it either. I checked the website and there is a link for the sounds to hear the radio but it has expired so I guess I am SOL.

Edit 2: I just looked in the folders for this engine and all the files are there so I guess it is just a matter of installing it proper or there is a problem in the coding

The good news is that I now have the horn and bell sounds for the MP15DC switcher which was included in the Steel Works Pack. The Fix? Purchasing, downloading, and installing the MP15DC locomotive pack from Britkits. I am somewhat disappointed since I had thought of this as possibly a solution to the problem a while back. But since there was NO mention in the Steel Works Pack of the need to purchase the MP15DC locomotive pack in order to obtain the missing sounds, I never followed through. I don't necessarily mind having to purchase an additional download but I do mind that no mention of this requirement was made in the Steel Works Pack or on the BritKits web site. It is possible that I missed a notice somewhere but I don't believe that I did.

Sorry I did not get back sooner to you guys. Have you got the updated version of the steel pack? The one with "wet" windows. I have just removed the EMD folder (with the re-painting version of the MP15 in it) and run the steel works MP15 with all the sounds working. If you have got some sounds there I am not sure what the problem is. Check in the Audio folder that all the sound files are there. The Cab sub-folder is where the horn , bell and radio files are.

Yes I have the updated version with wet windows and the audio files are there. They just do not work for me :(

I have never had any problems with your stuff before, and I am very happy with all your products that I have purchased. So if it it just no sounds from 1 engine, I consider myself very lucky to have your products.
