GE 7FDL16 Dash 8/9 Enhancement Pack

The sounds for browsing the page is a nice touch to the website, I like it!

I have noted that the HUD throttle has been changed to a combined throttle. It starts when the game loads at a default -8DB instead of idle. Also the throttle is very sensitive. Even a quick key stroke will take it from idle to notch 4. It would be nice if the sensitivity was reduced.I have the in game sensitivity set to about 10%. I do like the pack I also have the one foe the ES44 as well.

Which locomotive specifically has the sensitivity issue?

Using the CSX Dash 8-40CW YN2 on NS coal district with 30 rock cars.. I don't think that this should be affected by the pack. A common script folder was added to the Dash8-40CW folder.DTG>Miami>Railvehicles>Diesel>Dash-8 40CW

It is caused by the pack. I believe a sensitivity control on the VirtualThrottle got wonked. I have looked into it, and Kevin is working on a fix.

Thanks' guys. Love the sounds.

It also seems to cause the RPM's to jump between notches, instead of gradually rising. (On the Miami C40-8W) Still having problems with the Penn Coal Dash 9. I don't have any interior prime mover sounds.

[ZekTheKid]

The Donner Pass Dash 9 will be supported in a future update correct?

I'm not having any of these issues. It all seems very smooth to me. In cab sounds are fine here.

I can duplicate the missing prime mover sounds in cab.

I will add that I managed to get a quick drive to work with the Penn coal dash 9. Only thing that seems to be missing is the air apply and release.

EDIT: When I eventually made a heavier brake application, the application sounds started playing but they wouldn't stop no matter what I did.

TS is so interesting. Theory has it that we all have the same program but we see such different results. I think often we need to go back to NVidia settings and other things outside of TS.

This is another serious enhancement to TS2017 making the sim more immersive. You just can't help but get into the great engine sounds and the horn. Nice job again guys. Very professional.

Thanks, Buzz!
Others, the Miami is a bit of a problem child at the moment.

Yeah, I just gave it a go, many funky things happened. But it also does not work with the light fix in the library. I can't release the brakes using the keyboard for the PC dash 9.

Never mind, there's that new headlight flare included anyway.

I agree with Buzz, this set (and the GEVO pack) really create an all new immersion factor for this game. What really sets these sounds apart are the realistic RPM and loading behavior, and of course the distance counter. I'm sure most of the bugs have to do with wonky things that RSC/DTG has done with the locomotives. Thanks for releasing these, guys.
