    Continuing sound issue

    First, I apologize since I have posted on this issue before but continuing research has not given me an answer.

    I have a number of SLI locomotives including the BN pack, Scenic Sub (I), Seligman (I), The UP and SP AC44 packs, and the BNSF/MRL and UP Ace packs.

    The horn in the cab view is extremely long... in some cases up to 6 seconds for every press of the spacebar. The issue is only in the cab view. External sounds are normal. The problem is only with the horn.

    I have also tried switching out horns that I know worked in OR but got the same result with those locos.

    The horns in question work OK in MSTS and the issue is only in OR.

    Additionally, the newer SLI releases such as the Green River UP add on pack and the NS pack for horseshoe curve work fine. This makes me think that there is something about the cab sound configuration that is causing this rather than on OR bug.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue and did you find a solution?

    Thanks

    Yes, Basil. I have also experienced this.
    I'm using X 1779 at the moment but this is an anomaly that occurs in every version of OR.

    It is also dependant upon which loco I am operating; the latest BNSF units provided with Seligman 2 don't display this glitch, yet (as you've mentioned) the BN units and those that come with Scenic and Scenic 2 are affected.

    The horn sounds within the cab can run from a couple of seconds to about 5 seconds (depending upon loco) but, when the horn is operated from the external '2' or '4' viewpoints, the horn sounds only for as long as the Spacebar is pressed.

    It's a glitch which has never really concerned me as I treat it as just one of those little oddities that, for me, don't play an important part in the overall operational aspects of OR.
