The 158 Man
Member
Hi all!
Before I start, let me say two things: -
1) - This post is not trying to say that the horns included in the current versions of the two 158s we have for BVE4 aren't any good.
2) - There seems to be three main catergories for 158 horns;
- Can't be bothered/clapped out. This seems to be the most common among the various fleets, and is included with the newest version of the 158 for BVE4 (Oovee?).
- Half-heartedly shrill. This is included with the TrainSimCentral version of the BVE4 158.
- Full-on, in your face (deafening on the outside) shrill. This type of 158 horn used to dominate the TPE fleets, and has not yet been released by anyone for BVE.
Now, I've produced some alternate 158 horns of the high-pitched/shrill variety with some recordings I made. I've been using them on BVE4 over the last couple of days to test them out and I have to say, they sound excellent (if I do say so myself!)
Now, if anyone would like copies of these to try them out or whatever, please feel free to get in touch. You won't be disappointed!
I am also quite prepared to let someone else host these sounds in a zip file on their BVE Website if required, providing I'm credited and they are not to be re-used without my permission etc etc.
I'll leave you with this..........
