No external sounds any more

[Hannes44]

Since the introduction of the "definable sound attenuation factor" I don't hear the external sounds of the locomotive any more. I tried different settings but neither with 100% nor with any other value I hear external engine sounds. Please some ideas? I installed the 1.2 version without any updates and there the external engine sounds still work correctly. Btw. the log file shows nothing soundrelated.

I inadvertently introduced a bug that I have already removed in release x.3804.

[Hannes44]

I'm sorry to say, but I'm using x.3806 atm, and there are no external sounds of the locomotive. I hear the wind, the track sounds but not the external sounds defined in the eng file for the specific locomotive.

[csantucci]

You don't hear the external sounds of the locomotive when you are within the cab or outside of the locomotive?

[Hannes44]

When I'm outside the locomotive; steamers I drive mostly with headout position.

Works here, both with head out and with camera 2, both with % of sound set to 0% and to 50% in Audio Options window. Tested on Dash9.

I'm really at a loss there: all sounds of my loco still work flawlessly with OR 1.2.3766.
I reinstalled the original MSTS routes and everything works without a problem in OR 1.2.3806. All external sounds are there, Dash, Goelsdorf 380. But not only my locos external sounds don't work with 3806, I've got some Czech locos and I think Polish and Russian ones that don't work either. Atm I don't know exactly which locos didn't work, I have to install some of the routes again and test them.

[csantucci]

Looking at the code change I did it's hard to me to think that some locos work and other don't. However, if you have a specific loco that doesn't work, provide me the link to download it and I'll check.

[Hannes44]

I sent you an email with one of the offending locomotives.

[csantucci]

Thanks Hannes,
I found out that the culprit is not my change, but the change intervened with x.3802. With that change every line below ORTSRigidWheelbase ( 900mm ) is not read. And in fact you will notice that lights are no more lit, because lights are defined after that line.
I will open a bug report and signal this in the ET forum, because this was not my change. If temporarily you replace such line with
ORTSRigidWhellbase ( 900mm 0mm ) everything works.

[Hannes44]

Thank you very much! I could have found that, because for the other 2 locos concerned I had inserted the Wheelbase line at the same time.

Fixed in x.3808.
