Class 378 Capitalstar Soundpack
21st November 2019This soundpack will make the sound on the Class 378 by DTG more realistic aswell as enhance the braking and accellerating physics. Included is a scenario for the North London Line.
A preview is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZphPvMVQPo
You need to enable EFX in the Settings > Audio, otherwise this Soundpack is utterly pointless and will not sound good.
Installation
1. Install the Class 378 DLC via Steam
2. Install the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 375/377 Soundpack
3. In the downloaded file, you will find a *.rwp file which needs to be installed with Utilities.exe found in the Train Simulator main directory (steam/steamapps/common/railworks).
Please note these other things
– When you install this, the Southern Class 377 will also get new ‘Joint’ (sound when driving over railway joints) and ‘Flange’ (sounds when driving into a curve) sounds
– The passenger view does not feature a cab occlusion meaning that it will sound like being outside when in passenger view
Changelog
v.1.1:
-fixed a Bug that caused the Cab Air Condition do be audible in other trains
-fixed missing rolling sounds if you had the AP Track Enhancement Pack installed
I am finding it quite tricky to install, so if anyone could help me that would be great.
There are more elegant ways of doing it, but this works for me – use 7-Zip (or similar) to unzip your downloaded file, then do the same for the “Class378_Soundpack_v11” RWP file found within the unzipped file, open the unzipped Class378_Soundpack_v11 file, copy the Assets file and paste (or drag and drop) it into your Railworks folder and overwrite files when asked to do so – it should then be installed. Copy the Content file into Railworks if you want to use the scenario.
PS. Just to make it clear, the now discontinued AP 375/377 Sound Pack MUST be installed for this to work – as mentioned further down, it does not work with the current AP 375/377 Enhancement Pack.
does it work with the new 377/379/387 EP?
Will this be updated for the 375/377EP since the 375/377SP is no longer available
I’ve followed all the instructions to install (in fact I reinstalled everything!)… but I also get the “failed to load tracks.bin” error. When I bypass this with F2 and Cancel there are NO sounds at all for this train – inside or outside for the career scenario (which I believe come with NL/GL). With your included scenario the error doesn’t appear BUT still there are no sounds whatsoever for the driver train! I’ve wasted an hour on this instead of playing, so now I’m giving up – unless you can tell me what’s wrong?
OK so I thought I’d try again. This time I’ve gone as far as uninstalling the 378 and the NL/GL routes in Steam, reinstalling them, validating game files and installing the Ap EP and this sound pack again. But exactly the same occurs… here are no sounds from the player train.
Forgive me… I just discovered that one of the requirements for this to work is a SOUND pack – not ENHANCEMENT pack – from AP which is no longer available. I would delete my other messages if I could. Sorry again for not being aware there was a difference.
Hi, incurred an train derailment and AI collision after getting to first station after the timed arrival at Willesden:
Screen Info: 08:06 Stratford – Clapham On longitude 0.117075 and latitude 51.46514. Stratford – Clapham Jn longitude 0.16946 and latitude 51.4655.
Was running very nicely until the above message.

Please update this patch to use the new AP 375/377 EP as the soundpack is no longer available and so this patch won’t work for anyone that didn’t buy the sound pack before it was taken off the market.
Hi, I do not have a .rwp file in the download.
When I installed this the sounds were not applied.
?
This soundpack repare the bug sound of the open and closing doors
?
which bug is that?
Hi there, will this be updated to support the now released AP class 375/77 EP? Thanks 🙂
Gives me a error – unable to load file – tracks.bin 🙁
I’m assuming you’re attempting a career scenario? Due to the modifications the game recognises this as ‘impure’. Its way of telling you is to throw up a Tracks.bin error. Press F2 and then cancel, OR double tap backspace to ignore this. You will not receive Career XP for completing the scenario.
Does this work with NLL/GOBLIN?
Sounds are pretty cool indeed. I have to say though the acceleration after applying this is way too powerful, like double the real thing. Pulling away in power step two is equivilent to step four in the real thing. The braking is accurate enough though. Worth it for the sounds, but I have to use P1, P2 only. Thanks 🙂
Thank You 🙂 what are your sources on that though? I checked the accelration with the speedometer. They should be correct now. Before they accelerated way to slow
