Hi, I find that OR doesn't respect sound volumes defined in various sms files of routes. Bird sounds, road traffic sounds, station announcements etc. are played at much higher volume than msts and some trains sound far quieter. Also, when using external view ( 2 & 3 key ) and my train is travelling through a curve sound gets distorted.......like a jet engine underwater or something!! Is there a quick solution to this?

Thank heavens someone else is noticing odd audio in OR. I thought it was just me!
What I note is the engine sound taking on a "thrumming" effect when in any view other than cab.IBM XT i386; 512Kb RAM; 5.25" FDD; 1.4Mb FDD; 5Mb HDD; VGA 256-colour graphics card; AdLib soundcard; DR DOS 6.0; Windows 3.0 -
Odd audio is a regular occurrence for me. Frequent distortion of sounds when encountering AI trains; certain sounds in engine .sms files one day play normal, the next day play almost continual (compressors/spitters, things like this); and a couple other oddities.
I just hope for the best each time I fire the darned thing up!Neil

I thought it was only me! Good to hear that it is not just me. Odd sound behavior seems normal now! LOL
The only things I have really noticed, and that stand out, is the inside (cab) sounds seem muffled, but the outside sounds penetrate louder, like the bird sounds and automobile horns. Outside (ext) sounds seem OK.Comment

I brought this up over on Elvas Tower. The idea was to let some outside sounds into the locomotive, but the sound level is too loud--probably because the sound designer was calibrating it for a steam locomotive with only a semi-enclosed cab. The answer would be to allow an OR-specific line in the .eng file that defines the outside sound volume level permitted into the cab. It's probably on the OR team's improvement list, but not a high priority.Comment
