Krellnut said to me this week that nothing we do is perfect

and I meant it. I know my sounds aren't perfect, but I try to make them sound as realistic as possible. I love the WIP light Doc, If that can be done without to much work, and added to our existing pack. What you've achieved with lighting in this game is nothing short of amazing.

You're a good one to talk! You're pretty darn amazing yourself there krellnut.

yeah dude! I dont remember where I got it but I've replaced a few of the loco's on the C&O Allegheny route with CSX SD70MACs. Pretty awesome, I still need to purchase the SD70ACe pack so I can have that one too.

These sounds are absolutely amazing. One thing I noticed; I swapped some of these engines into an existing scenario and sometimes it sounds like the sound playing inside the cab is a far higher throttle position than what is sounding outside. e.g. inside it sounds like run 5 or 6 when I'm actually in run 2. Sounds correct from outside.

[Machinist]

That's because I fully tested the sound pack, only thing I noticed is that the in cab sound was exactly the same of outside (same rpm, at the point you was not able to distinguish when you was in cab or outside). Nicely Krellnut reduced the in cab sound 10% (muffed a little bit) compared to outside, nothing else. The amazing thing of sounds (beyond kick off the jet engine effect) is that you can hear each engine individually. If you have 3 coupled each other, in the middle engine you'll hear the engine you are riding louder but also will hear a lot of the engines at front and rear of you. If you are mixing different engines with different RPM maybe when you go outside you'll hear more of the other engines close, and you may notice a difference in RPM. I'll check this, anyway...

Actually, up_8677 is right. I just tested them all, and helper-g is the culprit. I'll fix it right now, and put the xml here, and then send it to Hawk. I hope he can put it in the pack. Thanks for pointing it out.

Here is the fix. Just one number was wrong. Sorry about that. Install to: Assets\WJ Sound\SD70\Audio\70-Helpers\70g-Helper.
Say yes to overwrite.

[Machinist]

Anyway I'll include the fix in the Expansion Pack, so those who download the Expansion will get g-Helper fixed.

Doc.

The file in the library has been updated with the new xml as of today at 8:33 AM - EST

[up_8677]

Thanks for the quick fix!! You guys rock!
