    Automatic Horn Sounding at Crossings

    Hello, I did a search and came up empty. The last two routes with the 1995 Amtrak Southwest Chief has an annoying Auto-Horn sounding at Grade Crossings. I seem to remember this feature being available in the early days of OR, but there was/is a way to turn it off? It blows the horn way past crossings, a simple thing we can do when we feel the need.
    I find it annoying, is there a way to silence this? I did a search also in the Game Sounds Folder, as well as in the Sounds in the Routes Folder, but no luck. I have it traced maybe to " at_sig_us_a.wav ", possibly???

    Information about AI traffic blowing horns is in the manual >>> Section 10.16.5 AI Train Horn Blow

    Link to current manual http://openrails.org/files/OpenRails-Testing-Manual.pdf

    AFAIK --- player train horns are not automatic...the user has to blow them. So maybe I don't understand your question???

    The actual crossing signal has an automatic warning horn that blows?? Never heard that one before...wouldn't surprise me.
    If that's the case -- sounds like you are on the right track --- trying to find the correct wav file -- perhaps find the sms file and see what's in it.

      He's probably running in autopilot all the time.

        SIR,

        In activities folders there is a folder for "OpenRails", in that folder is an extention to the activity file, where you can delete the "Auto-Horn Sounding"...or you can just delete the "OpenRails" folder if the only activity in it is the 1995 Amtrak Southwest Chief.

          if you run in Autopilot mode...the horn will automatically sound for player train. If you speed up the simulation, the Horn sounding get off as it doesn't speed up.....FYI....

              Thank you for that! I thought maybe my Senility was finally catching up with my mind! :-)
              All should be good now.
              I see different folders sometimes when looking through an activity or rolling stock, but not knowing what a lot of the jargon means, I am hesitant to Delete it or sometimes install it.
