This is the Metro-North P32AC-DM & Shoreliner Cab Car Comprehensive Mod Pack V1.0 for TS2016
In order to utilize this freeware sound & physics upgrade, you must have purchased the "Metro-North P32 AC-DM 'Genesis' Loco Add-On" pack available at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/258655/
This is a freeware pack; in no way is it to be used for commercial purposes. You are free, however to use the sound & physics enhancements found in this pack for personal use if you so choose.
THIS IS BOTH A SOUND AND PHYSICS UPGRADE PACK.
The main purpose of this pack is to make use of the proper horn and bell sound files that were somehow overlooked by DTG in the beta test process, introduce authentic Leslie RS2M horn sounds (exterior and cab versions) and authentic bell sounds (exterior and cab versions).
This pack also replaces the door sounds and adds brake release sounds.
From a physics perspective, this pack introduces new weight and tractive effort values to give a more realistic operating feel.
Included is the signature JohnS brake fix.
Technical specifications:
1. GE P32AC-DM (GE 7FDL-12; 3300 GHP; no HEP)
a. Starting tractive effort of 62,000 lbs (275.8 kN) up to 14 mph
