This question may have already been asked. Does anyone know if there is a way to make AI Trains sound a horn or whistle? If someone can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.
Thanks!

Great question, but have no idea. Always wanted AI trains to blow their horns/whistles at a grade crossing. *!rolleyes!*

It could be done for stopped trains in sidings or stations, placing the sound generator in the scenery. I wonder too if it would be possible to load such a sound item as a child object and trigger the sound some way.

Could always do a distance triggered one shot. Or Lua triggered horn blowing.

To addon to this thread, why are AI locos virtually silent when passing the player train? Specifically passenger commuters that run in either push or pull config. Is there a remedy to that also?

If there is pushers I cant hear anything, I can hear the lead units though.

My pushers have sound but it doesn't come in out go out very gradually, it kind of pops in close to the unit.

That's because whatever soundpack you're using doesn't have proper attenuation distances set up with curves against distance.
