Exciting discovery re: AP 52 soundpack

Now, firstly I would never expect Richard to be able to retro-fit whatever it is, but I love the fact that it is included in this soundpack.

What's included I hear you say?

Well, let me tell you. Whilst test running my reskin of D1062 today I ran it with my modified DT Mk1 coaches with 'enthusiast at the window' camera view. When I opened up the throttle I was amazed to be treated to the aural delights of some Maybach music!! I switched to the cabview, and that behaved excactly like the cabview normally does, very little audible engine sounds. Back to camera '5' and yep, still loads and loads of thrash from the front coach window. THIS IS WHAT I'VE WANTED FOR SO LONG!

Anyway, having investigated the soundpack config files for the AP 52 pack I noticed there were sounds numbered in the N series (N1, N3, N4 etc.) that played BOTH (inside and outside) then there were specific duplicates called Nx Cab that only showed to play INSIDE. I think this is the difference we have from the other packs. The only problem is I don't have anywhere near the though capacity to figure out how to retro fit it to the other sound packs. Imagine, quiet cab inside, headout of cab thrash AND headout of coach window thrash - that's the reason I'd included the view primarily. I will add a video shortly to demonstrate.

On a side note, whilst attempting to tweak the Deltic soundpack I noticed that from the '5' view on my carriages the engine thrash suddenly became audible from around 1025RPM having been nothing. Shut off again, and it dies to nothing, but keep it above those revs and you hear the engines working away.

I believe the sound pack simulates the 2nd engine powering up once as you set power above 50%. Might explain what you are hearing?

Further to this, after extensive testing on GCR but with lower gfx settings to record video - The 52 and 55 sound packs gave full outside sounds for the window hanging view - the 20, 31, 37, 40 and 47 packs did not. I can only presume the half on/off sounds for the Deltic were a resource issue running in very high resolution.
