Curious question

[trainlover2923]

The way Open Rails has been evolving here lately...I was wondering when we can get some good sounds for gevos and EMD710 ( all types )? Most of the sounds for those locomotives are dated ( 16 years or older ) and more or less designed for MSTS. Like I said just a curious question

Here's a not very helpful response..... someone mentioned a while back that there was a testing program currently in the works for new loco sounds. I'm not sure which ones specifically... (possibly in relation to Nash's releases?)... I'm drawing a bit of a blank on the details but hopefully someone can fill them in for me.

That's what current grade payware is for. Have you heard of it?

If your referring to Trainsimulations GE ES44AC sounds those are less than par since they follow an FDL sound not a GEVO since those are two totally different motors and sounds. And as for their EMD710 that's more or less 1 size fits all. Cause a SD60 has a different pitch compared to a SD70 and a SD70 has a different pitch to a SD70ACe. And now since EMD has brought out SD70AH-T4 with it's JJ prime mover again different sound and pitch. I am not a wizard on how to make sounds by any means but I do know my motors. Like I said in my post at the beginning just a curious question

Please don't get him started on his rant about how he can pay for everything he owns. Haha.


I was the one that mentioned there are sound files in beta right now for the newer locomotives.

Honestly, I still use sounds from MLW/Anthony Wood on the EMD 710 and GEVO sounds, as they are the best ones available in my opinion. I believe he developed those for the early ORTS, 44k sounds, things I have not much a clue of, but they, as far as I'm aware, didn't work well, if at all in MSTS.
