why dose not the DC sound work for me?
how do u install the 717? it says i have missing assets for the 700?
will this get a class 707 varient?
Hi, to make this soundpack did you use my sounds from my Class 707 journey video? If this is the case I’m more than happy for you to use them, but just to confirm? Thanks in advance
Awesome work with the patch makes the train driveable, just 2 things i noticed is the DRA voice about restting the DRA does not always sound when its reset and also after passing a neutral section i lost some audio that never came back after passing the neutral section.
This is brilliant work, but is anyone else experiencing some sounds not functioning, like reverser and PBC notch? dug into the proxy files and it should be working, along with some other redundant sounds that are not in function.
Top work to all involved!
I had been working on my own patch although not nearly as comprehensive as this one, I was focusing more on getting the numbering to work reasonably accurately as out of the box this was all over the place!
I had separated out all the different number lists for each individual type of carriage (401xxx, 402xxx etc etc all the way to 412xxx, and corrected a few errors amongst them) and created separate bin files too so I now have 2x PTSO, MSO 1 (without toilet), MSO 2 (with toilet, not required for 8 car), TSO (again not required for 8 car) and finally the pair of TSOW’s at the centre of each train (1 with accessible toilet and 1 without).
As such I had a unit number with coaches 01-12(01-03,06,07,10-12 for 8 car) in the correct order, sadly writing a script to get all those coaches to be from the same unit was a little beyond my capabilities. My patch didn’t make it to publication (I guess the mod’s on this site knew this was coming so fair enough!)
Since the release of this patch I have redone all of the above to work with this patch and would be happy to my work to be incorporated if there is interest.

Can one tell me what “Added neutral section functionality” means?
Essentially, Neutral sections are short sections of overhead lines that aren’t powered. So when a train goes through that section, it is briefly unpowered.
Love you guys for this, thank you!
What can I say….. this has turned a sows ear into a silk purse!!!!!… Brilliant work guys!!!
Finallyyyyyyyy
The devil works fast but the guys at ATS work faster
Thank you, now I can drive the 700 without wanting a lobotomy.
Thanks for this amazing EP, are you still working on the Voyager sound mod as that sounded way better than the default and AP version
Can I say how much I love you guys working this fast for a mini EP 🙂
