Track Joints Sounds

[OTTODAD]

Doing some tests running an ICE-3 in the Wuppex-11 can not hear the Ttype.dat Railwaves track joints sounds in the cab and Shift-1 view but can in the #5 passenger view.

The same when driving an Acela Express in the NEC-4

Any ideas what the problem is ?

Tested the default Ttype.dat in ORTS and still can not hear track joints sounds in any view except in the #5 passenger view inside cars.

Noticed something else, high-speed testing the Horseshoe Curve route in ORTS. Maximum speed appears to be capped at 223 mph, my high speed Explorer being capable of speeds up to 2000 mph !

Otto,
Track sounds work on the routes we've tested. I just ran a test last night. Since you can hear them in the #5 view, I'm leaning towards something in the sound config or Ttype file configuration that's preventing them from being heard in other views. You may want to check the OR log file to see if there are any errors or warnings.

Regarding not being able to go 2000 mph, that's "realism" in the physics code. At some point in the future, you will be able to "override" it to allow you to reach unrealistic speeds.

Have tested the default Ttype.dat track joints sounds in the USA1 and they are barely audible compared to their volume in the #5 passenger view.

I am using the more realistic RAILWAVES track joints sounds, like many others do, their creators web site now having been closed down !

Attached it their default SMS called by the Ttype.dat, distance set to sound every 60 meters and below is the ORTS log.
