How to make passenger cars screech and squeal when stopping?

[markyisri]

I've been wanting this effect for some time now, I tried dzug.zip from the file library but it didn't help.

Hi,
Try these two from uktrainsim.com :

UKTS_2807 (Bogie Coaches Enhanced Sound v1.12)
UKTS_3824 (Modern Coach Sounds)

They both include brake squeal when coming to a stop. The first is for jointed track and the other is for modern welded track.

Cheers,
Ged

Thanks, slipperman!

Will give these a try and report.

It worked perfectly. Thank you so much.

Update: After trying these with some Amfleets, and comparing them to videos, it seems that the screeching only comes on at 2mph or less, while in real life it happens at a much higher speed. Is there a better method of handling this?

Hi markyisri,
One of the big (main?) attractions of MSTS is that the user can change almost anything! Sounds are defined by .sms files and all you need is the knowledge to make the changes you require. I am, unfortunately, not able to help you, but I'm sure there are many who can.

On the other hand, why don't you start "playing" yourself? Just backup the file/s you'll be editing first, so that if anything goes wrong (it will!), you can easily restore them to their original state. Make a written note of each change you make, so you can back-track if necessary. The Steam4Me site has a tutorial on .sms files.

Cheers,
Ged

IMO some of the best freight sounds are to be found in the package of sounds available to members at Tiger Trains.
Two of the options Number 1.sms and Number 3.sms have excellent squeal sounds. Others have slow rub, refrigeration, etc.
Great free package, but you gotta join, and believe me the purchase price of content is budget worthy and excellent for the price!
You should join and support them, if you can. There's a sale on now for Canadian Thanksgiving.
The Canadians are thankful they are not Americans!!
