Wonderful engine.Just a shame you need to keep re loading scenarios to get the sound back. No news lately on any fixes?

something else Ive noticed is that when you apply the brakes the ejector comes on and uses lots of steam, this is a great feature, But it is automatic even in pro settings, would make things interesting if you had to manually use the ejector to release the brakes.

It's not automatic - Bulleids and many other locos (including V2s etc) have combined Brake/Large Ejector handles (in real life) so in-game the 'release' position takes the place of Large Ejector, which we have tried to replicate with the sounds. Note the Small Ejector is there too!

I do not know if this will help in your situation but I have noticed that if the sound is "playing up" if I change view to say 3 for instance ( for a short amount of time ) and then go back to the loco the sound may resolve it self.

Give it a try and if it works it beats having to continue from a save frequently.

Maybe that is more your system related performance? My sound hasnt cut out in ages, not I just get lag <_<

Hi, possibly not related but have you seen the recommended settings for nvidia thread? clamping the video card to 0 frame prefetch seems to cure some lags and keeps things in synch

Will have a look. Also amended the chuff xml file values as suggested earlier in the thread and will be giving that a try.

My system should be up to the job - Quad core 4GB ram, X-fi audio card - 968mb graphics.

[chrisreb]

I don't know if was coincidence but having adjusted those values in the chuff effects file I just did a run with no sound droput at all.

What a wonderfully relaxing beat these angines have. I could not hear it in the Pines scenario for all the racket from the Black 5. Been running the 2 part Paddington to Didcot Railtour with the Tangmere.

Oh Wow! I didnt know that, there we are see, you learn something new everyday! thanks for the info mate, I guess it comes from only driving GWR locos and industrials that you get used to the ejectors

Once again, a very nice model, in fact I have been more happy with this model than a lot of the other models I have bought for railworks! there's something about the machine that makes it a pleasure to drive! EVEN for a GWR man

It still wont beat the pannier 6435 in second valve when I was playing with it tho got told off but it was fun (Real not in simulation) lol
