Presenting the Amtrak P42DC sound mod

Unread postby Amtrakker » Wed Mar 04, 2015 1:55 am

So after tinkering for what seems like ages now, I've finally got something going! !!*ok*!!

Here's a taste:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnIuuVeGEJM

Some info about it:

-I worked the sounds so they'd work with FanRailer's physics mod. The NC locos rev at 900rpm, and that all familiar HEP generator roars away while the lead units rev unrestricted.
-I changed the engine sound, the horn, and the superliner bogie sound. The bell is from the P42 sound pack already on the site.
-the sound isn't perfect, for example in a non-HEP locomotive, revving up sounds as if the HEP generator is being switched on. But I think it's a definite improvement over the original sounds.
-I don't know how close it is to being finalized, but I wanted to post my progress and get feedback.
-I might take a stab on working on brake sounds as well as acceleration chug from that 7FDL engine, but that's for the future.

Hope you enjoy!

I will eventually add this to the Miami P42DC, But I haven't purchased the route yet. From my understanding the sound files are exactly the same as the RSC/G-trax P42, so it shouldn't be a difficult conversion.
