No need to change NJT horns.
Not sure why the acela bell neeed to be changed when it's direct recording from the Acela. Nice to see doppler on the cab car bell though.
It sounded nothing like the real Acela. The bell sound I've mashed together from the ACS-64 is much more correct than what was present in the game. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ak39OnmbE44&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE&t=15
ill give this a go about to do a livestream 5/3/23 on my you tube chnanel with it lets see how it is and ill give my comments after that
after doing the livestream with it sorry to say but dovetail did are very good job with the horn and this one sounds off
The Acela horn was taken from a real K5LA Hybrid. Same with the Metroliner cab car which had audio taken from a real cab car. While I'll agree Dovetail did a great job on the audio on the Acela, this simply changes out the audio to be correct to the prototypes.
yeah i understand but the bell is nice know but the horn no sorry good try know it would be nice just to have the bell i think a split between the mods m ite be the way to go with this as a OG of TSW i think it would be nice to see this happen as some of us want to see a split in choice
is there any way to get the cab car sound changes without the acela ones?
Can you add a doppler effect to the Acela's bell??
Can you please separate the files? i just want Metroliner
hoping for this too!
theres no dopeler for the bell
I attempted to add doppler to the Acela's bell, but after a few attempts, I found it wasn't something I was going to add. The Metroliner cab car was edited as it was a much easier thing for me to add. As per the mod description, the Acela Express has no added bell doppler and has the audio cue remain stock.
the ACS-64 horn doesn't sound prototypical.
Do you have a better horn recording that you own the rights to? I'll happily include it in the mod if you do.
The ACS64 horn isnt the best, but the other ones are amaizng! Keep up the great work!!!!
The ACS-64 horn is currently a work in progress, I forgot to list that when I last updated the mod. Thank you!
the door audio on the Acela needs some light shed on it, the doors are wayy too quiet compared to how it really is in person (alot of air hisses and that stuff), and the chime and stand clear annoucement is quite low, maybe this can be an additional sound mod for the Acela?
+also to mention while in the interior of the train, the doors literally have no sound to them, the only barely audible sound is exterior, quite a letdown, DTG.
I believe someone was working on an Acela sound mod. This mod is only focusing on horns and bells and is not a dedicated sound mod, so the things you mention in your comment are out of the scope of this mod.
Do you plan on making this mod TSW4 compatable? The game currently crashes when I try to load with mods installed.
This mod has been tested under TSW4. It works fine but I currently am not willing to support it until modding is properly fixed by Dovetail.
The default ALP-46 interior horn sounds great, but the exterior sounds like the horn valve is only being pulled halfway. On the contrary, the exterior horn for the multilevel sounds perfect. Is there anyway the external horn sound for the ALP-46 can be changed to sound like that of the multilevel? It just sounds underwhelming in my opinion.
is it okay with you if i use that metroliner horn and bell for my amfleet pack? i've rebuilt all the cues so the bell now has its doppler, among some other fixes.
