Outside Engine Sounds Missing

[Captain Tom]

I run some E-7 and E-8 locomotives that the sounds work perfectly (both inside the cab and also outside, as in a run-by). My problem is that on some locomotives that I have downloaded from this site, I cannot for the life of me get the outside sounds to work. Inside the cab sounds are great.

I've carefully checked the .eng files on those that work and those that don't - they are identical. I've checked the "common.snd" folder and the requested sound files are there. The sound directory has the regular files as well as those preceded with an 'x" - meaning external sounds. The .sms files are in the identical same place as are the .cvf files as well, although I don't believe that those have anything to do with this problem.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!!

I have had similar issues in the past and found that the sound file path I was requesting from the common.snd folder was missing 1 character in the .eng file. May carefully look over the file path just to make sure something is not missing.

Thanks trainmanaustin! Hadn't thought about that possibility. Will check it out tomorrow!
