Head Out Forward Front

[rlkimbal]

I am disappointed the the cab sounds disappear when I stick my head out the window to get some fresh air. I would expect to hear the bell and horn as well as the engine sounds.

Since I got no replies, I figured no one else was having the problem. I then tried it with a different consist and got all the sounds with this train. The problem, therefore, seems to be with the first .eng file, not OR.

I'm 99.9% sure it's loco specific. I'm not an expert on the files, but I believe there is a place in the sms files that dictate what sounds are here in and out of the cab. So your thought that it's based on the .eng file is correct, but it's the specific sms file that controls the external sounds for the engine. Someone that knows more about those could probably provide you more details and even possibly a way to get the internal cab sounds to play outside of the cab.

Check the relevant .sms file to see if the camera is activated.

I have experienced this on some sessions since the November 15 update. When I start or resume the activity the sounds are fine and then later the external sounds are very muted. If I save and then exit and resume things are fine again. I don't update every week but this is the update I noticed this happening. This has happened with a variety of engines.

Same problem outside engine sounds go away after awhile, does not seem to be engine specific. even with default engines only when running openrails by the way..........and that's all I run great work openrails team if only could get this sound problem fixed.

The fading sound problem is discussed on the Elvas Tower (www.elvastower.com) forum "Railroad Simulations->Open Rails->Maybe it's a bug", starting with "Disappearing Sounds in X.1870". It is worth following the comments there.
