So the sound files finally became available today and I grabbed both the scenario pack and soundpack to test it all out.
First to get out the problematic side, it seems Railworks is being stubborn for me, so I was getting the "Cant load Class 37 BR Blue", when loading the 3 scenarios, to fix this its nessessary to go into the editor and toggle under the RSC asset list the class 37 pack then place the Class 37 BR blue, save then try the scenario again. Its a odd consist load problem which isn't solely reserved to just your scenarios Matts, but its just something to be aware of and for anyone else getting the issue to.
Onto the good!
The sounds...just incredible, I don't know how you do it or get it to work so well but you really do have it on the money when exshaust beat, GWR ticktock and clank. What I notice a great deal as these sound packs have been release is how you capture all the sounds of the steam locomotives in question in each soundpack, the GWR locomotives especially have a wide varient of sounds which have been added to the locos to a excellent standard.
I honestly think the video doesn't do full justice (not intended as a negative comment), when you get these sounds installed and drive the locomotives you are immersed into the sounds of these GWR locos. From having to use the small injector for brakes which has the correct sound, to the hiss of the boiler to the chuff beat which has a lovely bark and sounds just like what I've actually heard in person next to these machines, it just brings it to life for me and I really have you thank you Matt and the people who have helped you achieve this, the small prairies and its bigger brother and the hall sound excellent. Also to add to this the feature with cutting off the regulator which triggers to clank (which is very GWR loco sounding) really is a great improvement and in my own opinion should be something as standard for any new steam locomotive addon from now on.
On note of the Hall, while I believe your first release of the hall soundset was really good, this new set improves on that and really does make it sound outstanding. I really cannot get enough of these new sounds for these excellent freeware and payware GWR locomotives, thanks to Karma also having the cab for the prairies with the model and sound, it now feels equal to payware product and I thank you for doing these soundsets for freeware locos as this only encourages freeware loco creators to create more, with your soundsets freely available and premissions asked any freeware developer is going to be able to have atleast a equal or close soundset for there creation by the time you have finished with your long list of locomotives.
I recommend this to anyone who loves GWR locomotives and steam in general, you will get immersed into it and lose time like I have just going back and forth with the locomotives and listening to the exshaust beat as you run through the country.
Here to the next soundset release, keep up the good work Matt.
