Having trouble finding a sound file

[frliss]

Hi all,

I've downloaded the Indiana Railroad SD70M Pack File# 90301. The readme file tells me to alias the sound to my favorite sound file. However, the eng. file has the following entry:

Sound ( "..\\..\\ETLW_Sounds\\EMD_710G_V2\\Alias\\EMD710_c ab_K5LAR24.sms" )

I have searched the file library and can't find the file ETLW_Sounds.

I would appreciate any help locating this file.

A post at some point indicated these were in beta and unreleased. It seems some uploads are mistakenly aliased to them inadvertently.

Thanks for the info.

I Found it!

NS Dash 9 Loco Set 2 File# 90273 (ns_ge_power) when unzipped contains three files, one of which is ETLW_SOUNDS.

Basically, it's sitting in the library without a file number. If I didn't download ns_ge_power I never would have found it.

Does it contain EMD 710 sounds, or is it only GE FDL sounds?

It is the GE FDL sounds only. The EMD 710 sounds haven't been released as of yet, nor have a few other sound sets that are still in beta mode. When they are released, it will be well worth the wait as they are some of the best sounds I have heard in ORTS to date.

Thanks, Shawn. That's what I remember

No worries. For now I have been using this sound set here in the library. Comes with various sounds of the 710 series, including the G3, G3A, G3B, and G3C.
mlw_710g3abc.zip

Which for these, according to the internet, EMD 710G3B is recommended for the SD70M units.

I use what Shawn suggested above. They sound pretty decent overall, and it's nice that multiple variants were included. Very interested in the ETLW sounds, as I know they will be high quality!
