RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Re: HC Simulator and Windows 11
« Last post by Espeelark on June 24, 2026, 01:14:21 PM »
Yeah - sorry about that guys!
I had typed up a response (saying I didn't have a C:\ProgramData option) and posted it, to only then see that I did indeed have that C:\ProgramData option - DUH!  ::)
It was late, I deleted that post (almost instantly) since it was false. Didn't think it would help the historical record to have incorrect information posted. I'm amazed that Tim saw it before I deleted it!
Being as late as it was, I told myself I'd deal with it tomorrow (today).
So, suffice it to say, I did find that "RscLoaded" file just as Tim suggested, deleted it, and HC Simulator now appears to start up and run fine. I have not fully put it through its paces yet, but, I'm optimistic! If anything changes, I'll report back.

Yeah, the compressor seems to be from a GE.  I believe I told Tim this in the past but nothing came from it.  I would prefer to have the compressor from the 567 file placed on the GEVO and 7FDL-16.  It's worth bringing it back up to Tim again.

I'll need to give the 645-12 another listen.  I like the 567 ULT even though it is definitely stack heavy.

I've avoided using the 567-ULT file because while it was recorded from a 567 (as covered in previous posts) it's more focused on the stack sound than the track level sound. Thus, the whine/drone commonly associated with a 567 notching up/down is subdued. I'll have to check it again for the compressor whoop, never noticed it.

I've been using the 645-12 ULT file - nice "stack talk" and you get the whine. I believe I saw somewhere that it was recorded from a SW1500.

Compressor, yes. Thanks, I have yet to do any work with sound files.

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.

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / EMD 567 sound file and GE generator???

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?

Edit,Ok,  so for some reason Espeelark went and deleted his post that I was replying to (I wonder if that feature might need to be turned off ). I'll leave my post for the time being for posterity.

Tim,
I don't have a C:\Program Data option. See below.

Yes you do, I can see it right there in your screen shot, right under Program Files (x86).  There is no space in ProgramData.

Ok, backing up a step, perhaps your not familiar with this and I'm confusing you. Windows gives storage devices a letter for easy use, with C being the nearly always the first boot/system device. On a storage device you know you have directories/folders as you can see on your screenshot. The path to the ProgramData directory is then C:\ProgramData. This is what you would see in a terminal / command prompt. With Explorer that path is shown in two pieces, the device (C:) and the current directory / folder you are in at the top and all the files and folders in the directory underneath.

So, the C;\ part is not shown in the bottom part of the explorer screen, so you are not looking for c:\ProgramData in the bottom part but just ProgramData. I hope I haven't made you more confused.

Thanks Tim.
I don't see that file. Here's what that folder shows:
any other ideas?

Yes I do have an idea, your in the wrong HC Simulator directory ;).  c:\ProgramData, not c:\Program Files is the directory you needed to start in so go to C:\ProgramData\Ring Engineering\RailPro HC Simulator and you should find what we're looking for.

sorry, in 11 they took it out of the easy place.

Control Panel >>> File Explorer Options
that will bring up a small window with 3 tabs
the middle tab will say VIEW
in there you will see all the options you used to be able to get to easily...
