Inside and Outside Sound The Same - Can This Be Fixed?

[FHRob]

The sound level inside the CN SD-70 cab is the same as the sound outside.

How do I adjust the cab sound so it's lower, i.e. muffled?

Thanks,

Rob

I'd suspect a cab occlusion problem.
Compare this engine's blueprint's cab occlusion node to one that worls correctly.

I checked the SD70 Cab Occlusion.bin file against another that works correctly, and it appears to be the same.

This is what the file shows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<cBlueprintLoader xmlns:d="http://www.kuju.com/TnT/2003/Delta" d:version="1.0">
<Blueprint>
<cCabOcclusionBlueprint>
<Occlusion d:type="sInt32">-2400</Occlusion>
<OcclusionLFratio d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="00000040E17A843F" d:precision="string">0.01</OcclusionLFratio>
<OcclusionRoomRatio d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000000000E03F" d:precision="string">0.5</OcclusionRoomRatio>
<OcclusionDirectRatio d:type="sFloat32" d:alt_encoding="000000000000F03F" d:precision="string">1</OcclusionDirectRatio>
</cCabOcclusionBlueprint>
</Blueprint>
</cBlueprintLoader>

Any other avenues to pursue?

Yes. I wasn't talking about the cab occlusion blueprint, but about the occlusion node in the engine blueprint, which may or may not refer properly to the cab occlusion blueprint.

Here's what I found in the RSC\SD70Pack02\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD70\Default\Engine\SD70ACe_bnsf.bin:

<BlueprintSetID>
<iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
<Provider d:type="cDeltaString">RSC</Provider>
<Product d:type="cDeltaString">SD70Pack02</Product>
</iBlueprintLibrary-cBlueprintSetID>
</BlueprintSetID>
<BlueprintID d:type="cDeltaString">Audio\RailVehicles\Diesel\SD70ACe\Cab\SD70 Cab Occlusion.xml</BlueprintID>
</iBlueprintLibrary-cAbsoluteBlueprintID>
</CabOcclusion>

Let me know if you need any other information.

The CN engine has exactly the same reference, so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
Try the usual: restart the game, verify local files, etc.

Some locos sound the same inside and out while others don't.

The problem here is the sound level inside the cab equals the sound level outside, both loud.
