I have SP9800's wonderful new cast P3 horns, and I want to put them on my SP dash 9's. I backed up the original d9horn1/x_d9_horn1.wav's
and I copied the new cast p3 wav's over them and I fired up the game.
But I still got the default horn. What did I do wrong? It works with
the gp38/40/60's but not the dash 9. I heard about sometimes you had to change the .sms file. Anyone know how to do that. And once again, thanks SP9800 for the excellent horn.

RE: Trouble Changing Dash 9 Horn.

Check your .eng and .sms files. Your sounds might be aliased to the default Dash-9. If so, all you need to do is look for the horn-sound filenames and remove the aliasing path (so that only the filename itself is between the quotes).
