This is the Siemens ACS-64 Traction Physics & Sound Upgrade Pack Update for TS2016 (Horn Quill & Motor Update; 6/30/16).

In order to utilize this freeware sound & physics upgrade, you must have purchased the NEC: New York - New Haven Route Add-On avaliable at Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/258643/

This is a freeware pack; in no way is it to be used for commercial purposes. You are free, however to further modify the enhancements found in this pack for personal use if you so choose.

The purpose of this pack is to allow the player to run the ACS-64 in either Boost Mode (6400 kW) or Continuous Mode (5000 kW). It also corrects the E-bell sound so that there is doppler effect.

2016 one-year anniversary update: Replaced default horn with new, higher quality horn recording.

2016 mid-year update: K5LA horn quill added. Details below. Motor sound pitch timing has also been updated; this is preliminary and will be improved upon in the future.

Parameter Change Log (most recent update):
1. Quillable Horn added courtesy of Matt Gorres (OpenRailer90 on RWA). Function is the same as the Pacific Surfliner F59PHI; hit the N key for the quill.
2. Low speed motor sound adjusted. High speed sound adjustment to come at a later date.
3. Numbering range adjusted (600-641, 643-665, 667-670).

IMPORTANT; Install Instructions; REMEMBER TO ALWAYS CREATE BACKUP FILES TO REVERT TO INCASE THE INSTALLATION DOES NOT WORK AS PLANNED!

1. Open the following directory: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\Assets\RSC\NewYorkNewHaven"
2. Then open the "Railworks_ACS-64_Traction_Physics_&_Sound_Mod_Update.rar" file.
2a. Before proceeding to step 3, make sure your "RSC" folder is NOT set to "read only". You can change the folder settings using the properties function. IF the "RSC" folder is read only, the files will not overwrite existing files when you attempt step 3.
3. Drag all three file folders ("RailVehicles", "Audio", & "InputMappers") from the .rar in step 2 into the directory you opened in step 1. Overwrite if asked.
4. The installation should be complete. Run TS2016 to check.

Thank you for downloading and installing.
Enjoy =)

Same download link as above.

In summary, I've updated the ACS-64 with new idle sounds and a dynamically functioning motor blower sound, which cuts in / out at about 4-5 mph. In addition, the Amfleet coaches receive a dynamically functioning brake squeal sound, whose volume and pitch are controlled by the intensity of the brake application.

I plan to similarly update the AEM-7 mod and HHP-8 / Acela mod with the Amfleet brake sound and also apply updates unique to those two mods. Stay tuned! I'm really excited to share these updates with you guys *&!welcome!&*

OOPS! Sorry about that. I don't post very much so I'm not expecting any PM'S. Also this weekend I just checked the file library and not the forum. But thanks anyway.
