the standard msts track sounds are horrible and completely unrealistic... is there anyway of changing the sonud file or replacing it to make it slightly better?

thanks

Hi
The file your looking for is 'ttype.dat', which is in the route folder.
However I still haven't found one I like, and it depends what sound regions the route author has put in.
Dave Corfield routes are very well covered BTW.
Cheers
Jon

Try this site http://www.railwaves.com/ but if you want to see a review before you buy read the reviews on the home page i have the sounds and i think they are excelent well worth the money.

Before I go any further let me firstly say that Railwaves sounds are excellent. The trouble is that they are for old style jointed track, not continuous welded modern stuff. So, perfect for places like the West Highland and small rural routes but not for routes like Dorset etc.

There are also 'Modern Coach Sounds' by Jeff Ashton / Mark Williamson - although these work with rolling stock rather than a route, it has a nice welded rail ring effect, and a nice flange squeal when slowing to a halt.
