P42 horn end sound won't play

Having a problem with the P42DC horn end. No matter if it's the default sound, or a modification, the end does not play in the P42. I checked the PROXYML and it is set correctly, but still no end sound. Very frustrating. Has anybody else run into this problem?

Thanks

Weird. And annoying. Who should I write? RSC? Or does g-trax still support the genesis?

Wrote to RSC this morning. I'm posting the letter here just for reference.

Dear RSC.

I am writing this short letter to notify you, and seek help regarding a couple
of problems I have encountered while using the DLC P42DC. First, the horn end
sound will not play. I have checked the PROXYML file, and found it to be
correct and the problem persists weather I use the default horn, or a modified
horn. (I have tried 2 from other people in the community and 2 that I made
myself) It is a frustrating issue and I would appreciate it if it was looked
into. The second problem I have, is that every time I save the scenario and
leave the game, when I come back, the train goes into emergency, and stops.
Another annoying problem. I do enjoy using the product, and it is an excellent
model!

Thanks for your time,

Nathan DeFayette


We'll see what they say...

- is the sound file itself correct? Mono and the correct frequency (can't remember which) ?
- does the engine blueprint correctly reference the audio blueprint?
- does the audio blueprint correctly reference the proxyxml file?
- what happens if you replace the horn end sound file with something else (like a bell sound)?

The sound file is correct. I don't know about engine or audio blueprints. I haven't tried swapping the sound.

Some problems have been reported with the whistle (actually associated with the "horn" control variable) in my Consolidation, but my blueprints and sound files are all OK too. I wonder if there's a bug in the core software related with the "horn" control variable.

It seems to be only on the P42 though.
