Sound issue on ORTS with the TMT SC44 Charger

[Komachi]

Alright so I got the SC44 charger installed and everything, testing it with a set of superliners on the DRGW Green River route, ORTS X4334 and have also tested on the release 1.3 and still have the same issue, where when throttling up at random times and at other seemingly random points, the sound of the engine just stops.
It goes silent with the motor sounds, and doesn't come back until you change throttle positions.
Is this a known issue, and is there a fix for it?

Additional note, upon serious inspection it doens't appear to be random, instead seems to be isolated to the engine idle at 38% and 63% throttle positions, will have to have a look at the .sms file.

I've had that happen with some of BLW_ZT equipment, not knowing sms files, or even being able to correlate it to rpm, could never figure it out.

[Komachi]

Yeah, I'm confused myself too now as well. Sound files are in the folder as they should according to the .sms, so not sure what the deal here is.

I bought the Charger units, but I haven't really tried them out as of yet. Unfortunately, I find plenty of "bugs" of some type in just about every .sms file that comes out, no matter who makes them. I've spent endless hours trying to fix problems--sometimes I can, but many times the problem is deep in the innards of the .wav files themselves and those can be nearly impossible to fix. When I get some time, I'll look into the Charger .sms file.

The other issue is that people are still learning how to make .sms files for OpenRails. Eventually OpenRails sound capabilities will far surpass what MSTS can do--a good thing--but even the OpenRails source code for sounds is still a moving target. MSTS is still essentially stuck back in 2002 insofar as sound capability, so the future is going to belong to OR when it comes to sound. Sadly, too, it seems like a lot of the best sound file makers for MSTS/OR have left the scene.

I already asked Steven West for an update to sounds a few days ago, he has a lot of stuff on the go right now so it will be sometime down the line.

Alright thanks, sounds good to me! Thanks for keeping up with this, it's HIGHLY appreciated. Outside of this issue I've been LOVING the Charger's!

Do, we by chance have a update at htis point on how much 'further down the line' this problem is going to be corrected?
