Title: EMD 567 sound file and GE generator???
Post by: ON28 on June 23, 2026, 10:25:21 PM

A friend was over for ops so I cranked up the Proto BL2 with the RP EMD-567 ULT file. Ran the engne until it cycled through the generator startup. He immediately commented that it was the 'whoop' of a GE generator, and a late model one at that. I had no idea until now, but checking some videos, he was right. I wonder who put that file together, and how to get the correct sound in there?

That would be the compressor, not the generator with the whoop sound, and the whoop compressor is definitely GE. I've never noticed this before but then I've probably not run anything long enough to trigger the auto playing the compressor sound.

 You could load a new compressor sound to the LM but you'd have to control it manually with a button and disable the automatic compressor playing in the sound setup. It's been a long while since I've had my RP stuff out so I don't recall exactly where that is. I always though building the compressor sound in with the prime mover sounds was not the most brilliant idea.
