Did anyone say Alco cab units were needed?
Did they say that a stylized version using default MSTS controls would be better than nothing?
Did they demand the Alco style selector for dynamic brakes?If you demanded any of the above then this may be for you:Alco's – image 2 It is part of as project so is not available yet. Looks cool at night:Alco's – image 3 -------SamSpade--------

RE: Alco's

Looks good! I've been using the early "Pre-Train Artisan F7" cabs that came out figuring they were different enough from the F7 cabs.Looking forward to several of your releases!GH

RE: Alco's

sorry for that, once in a while (not too rarely, rather often) I do press on too many wrong key buttons. Not exactly a fan of New Haven but attracted by its colorful scheme, and it makes sense to drive on NEC.Guys don't worry about sanity-not sanity, just pack it up

RE: Alco's

Guys,
This cab has now been released! It is part of the NALW New Haven PA package. Should be up in a day or two once Nels processes it!------Chuck Schneider---------

RE: Alco's

fine pack, there's a little problem with sound inside the cab which I guess is about to be fixed... but the pack is fine (I posted a pic/two in loco design forum).
...keep 'em packing up...

RE: Alco's

Alex,
I just downloaded the NH-PA pack and then did a clean install of MSTS and then installed the PAs from the downloaded copy.... no problems what so ever.... One other guy has reported this...
Try and figure out for me wether it is all the NH PAs or just some! It will make it easier to fix if you can....------Chuck Schneider---------

RE: Alco's

I"ve been working on a small project for a month or so and it is starting to get a bit closer to completeion. Would your new cab be availabe for use in a new engine? Still only about 50% complete.Alco's – image 18
If so I would like to swap some e-mail with you for some techinical pointers.

RE: Alco's

I have no idea how to go about it, and I don't want to make a big deal out of it so I'll just wait and see what happens...
...on the other hand I want to take it for a ride across entire NEC but not before I could hear some good sounds from within the cab

RE: Alco's

Sheesh! Not really! As there are over 600 downloads and you and one other gentlemen are the only ones reporting the problem. I installed a clean copy of MSTS and installed the PAs to that so I could see if it may be some file I have on mine but you wouldn't have on yours... Guess what it worked.... Maybe you have a bad/corrupted copy?????? Try removing it and re-installing it! If that doesn't work re-download it and try that?? I don't know what to tell you at this point....------Chuck Schneider---------

RE: Alco's

<<As there are over 600 downloads>>600 Alco sound packs ? ok I'll use F7 sounds, I wanted original because I know what it was about (could hear it from outside and it was good), and then you guys spent time on sounds so not to use it is like having that time spent for nothing... never mind though.
The point is: WITH sounds or withOUT, keep 'em packing

RE: Alco's

Alex,
600 models of the New Haven PA downloaded (includes the sounds)...
I don't know what the problem is on yours with not cab sounds.....
I suspect you have a bad download as there is only one of two of you reporting this problem....
As I said I tested it on a clean MSTS install and everything worked fine... So I can't see anything wrong at this point....
I would suggest very strongly that you delete the package from your hard drive and re-download and re-install it....
Have Great NHRR Day!------Chuck Schneider---------
