With the Sacrafice of the Bell of course . I found the Loco I wanted the second horn for and went into the sound folder , found the Bell file and wrote down the names of it , Then I went into the loco that I wanted the second horn to be and found the horn file . I renamed the horn to the exact name of the Bell and copied over to the Loco and now when the bell comes on instead of the Ding ding ding you now hear Hooooooonnnnnnk ! Thanks for reading and if you want I will upload a tutorial on how to do this to the File Library .Southern Pacific will live on forever in the hearts of the Red and Gray Railfans Shane Palus smp1151@sbcglobal.net
Shane, I'm not sure I understand. Why would you want 2 different horns on the same locomotive anyhow?Regards, Dan Zollner - 3DTrains http://www.3dtrains.com
Or like I explained in the MSTS forum . I am starting to use this for my Detectors . They aren't prototypical but when I go to Tehacahpi next time I am going to record some then I will Make them prototypical.Southern Pacific will live on forever in the hearts of the Red and Gray Railfans Shane Palus smp1151@sbcglobal.net
> I'm not sure I understand. Why would you want 2 different horns on the same locomotive anyhow? I would like to have a second "alternate" horn on a locomotive.The reason: Each and every one of Finnish locomotives has two separate horns. And all locomotives have similar horns (I keep remembering they are by Typhoon).The primary horn is a high-tone horn, and it is most frequently used: ('---' for long 2+ sec blasts, 'o' for rapid short blasts)--- Train approaching (crossing warning, general warning)--- o Passing (as a reply to hand signal that allows to pass a station without stopping)o Pulling (when switching: starting to pull cars or move forward. Otherwise as a positive reply to a hand signal)o o Pushing (when switching: starting to push cars or move backwards.)o o o Line a switch (as a request to switchtender to line a switch - rarely used today)o --- Kicking (attention, about to kick cars) The low-tone horn is most frequently used in switching.o Stop signal received (in switching: as a reply to stop hand signal or radio instruction, when stopped or about to stop movement. Otherwise as a negative response to a hand signal or radio instruction)o o Reduce speed signal received (if needed, as a reply to hand signal/radio instruction "reduce speed". During brake test as a reply to 'Brake test complete' hand signal)--- --- --- Threat of Danger (as a signal of a threat of danger, or an accident about to occur, or one that has occurred and when assistance is needed - a lot quicker this way than by using a radio) Both horns can be used simultaneously to give the Public Alarm Signal (for example: chemical spill). Both horns are engaged and series of two-second blasts are given for a duration of one minute.
