Help!

Those clever folks at RSC have lately added a soundtrack to TS2014. I mean that "music" (using the term very loosely) that monotonously moans away while I'm making menu choices, etc.

Please tell me there's some easy way to gag it (such as pressing ESC to get rid of the equally annoying °overture° accompanied by unnecessary images).

I shout again, Help!

Go to Settings -> Audio and set the "Background Music" setting to off.

Yeah... I really miss the old train's shunting sounds.

yea...they shall be missed

Somebody probably has them in a old version of RW. This is like the IRS e-mails. They are probably recoverable. Anybody know off hand what this gizmot is called?

The funeral dirge is Kuju\RailSimulatorCore\Audio\UI_FrontEndLoop.wav

Replace with any .wav or .dav., or change the reference in Kuju\RailSimulatorCore\UIAudioControl.proxyxml.

Krellnut's Wagons sound pack v3 comes with a replacement, it is a SD40-2 emgine sound I think.

And that's all I really wanted or needed to know. Thanks CrimsonKing!

That's not an option for me. I don't know if I'm the only one having this problem: about 25% of times I have no sound at all in TS2014. Only way around it is to exit and restart the game.
When I get to the main menu, if I have no music I know straight away the sound isn't working. If I turned off the music, I would have to wait until the route and scenario have finished loading.
So I just used Krellnut's replacement for the music.

Actually, its a pair of SD70's I caught one day unattended.

I have Steam Engines for my startup sounds.

Enough already! One useful and appropriate answer to my question + lots of superfluous chatter. Would that serve as a definition of an on-line forum?

I'll post as much superfluous chatter as I feel like.
Your approval is not required.
FYI, when you start a thread it doesn't belong to you, you lose control of it.

So how about that world cup eh?

So now I can't gripe in my own thread? What is this, TrainSim?

Gripe away. Griping here is different than griping over there. They get mean. We stay lean.
