Sounds on the horizon

--- Quote from: KPack on October 11, 2016, 05:09:40 PM ---In conversations with Tim I've learned that Ring Engineering has many new high-quality recordings in their possession, and that work is beginning to create new prime mover files. This will be welcome news to all of us diesel users, as the current Railpro prime mover files leave a lot to be desired.
Confirmed upcoming releases (no idea on release window...could be a while):
-GE Evolution 12-GEVO (for ES44 series) (already in beta, but got put on the back-burner to focus on hardware...HC-2 revisions and CI-1)
-GE Evolution 12-GEVO-T4 (for ET44 series)
-GE 7FDL-16 (Dash 9, AC4400
-EMD 710-G3B (SD70MAC, SD70, SD75)
-EMD 710-G3C-T2 (SD70Ace)
Unconfirmed but hinted at:
-EMD 16-645 Roots
-EMD 16-645E3
-EMD 16-567
These take a while to do, so I wouldn't expect them to be released quickly. However, it is nice to know that we have some good, high-quality sounds coming our way. From what I've heard of the GEVO beta the rest of these recordings should be awesome.

It's been almost a year since Kevin first put this up. Anybody heard about any more (or updated) sounds? I've got several SD70s, CSX seems to like them here in Florida, and the current EMD 710 sound file kind of tones down at about 50% throttle. At 100% the compressor and pop-off is louder than the turbine. I set it up to manually notch to see if it's just my hearing getting older, but that ain't it.
Just wondering,

William Brillinger:
Some of these sounds are part of the current crop of beta tests.
KPack:
You'll like the new 710-G3B! In fact, you'll like all of the new sounds that are coming out. It's what we've been waiting for!

PatP:
Sweet! Glad to hear it.

Hopefully there will be a few Alco sounds in the upcoming release.
