Prototype GP9 sounds for Locomotives that use the EMD 567-16 cylinder non-turbocharged Prime Mover. By Ron Furto.
These sounds are correct for GP7, GP9, GP18, SD7, SD9, SD18, F3, F7, and F9 models. Beta testing by John Means.
Includes
#EMD 16 cylinder "567" inside and outside prime mover sounds.

#Custom horn, bell, dynamic brake and traction motor sounds. Custom inside cab airbrake sounds.

#Some sounds included are default but slightly altered. All my custom sounds use the RF prefix,
Any files without the RF prefix are default.

You will notice that the engine does not rev-up when you advance to the first notch. This is intentional to match
the prototype.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These sounds were intended to be used with MSTSbin. Installation of MSTSbin is not required for these sounds to work.
Using different sound files for the same type of locomotive in a multiple unit consist helps to eliminate the echo
effect that MSTSbin users experience. I am releasing two different EMD non-turbocharged sound sets, each using
completely different engine sound files. This set was taylor made to work together along with my GP7 sound
set ( rf_gp7_sound.zip ). These play very well together especially if you run just 2 or 3 units in a consist.

INSTALLATION
Unzip to a temporary folder. Copy and paste or drag and drop the enclosed "SOUND" folder into the engine folder of
your choice. Open the engine file and scroll down past the lighting section and look for the line for engine sound.
Change that line to read "RF_GP9eng.sms". Then scroll down to near the bottom and find the line for the cab sound.
Change that line to read "RF_GP9cab.sms". I would highly recommend that you make a backup copy of your engine file first.
OR
You may want to place this "SOUND" folder into your common sound folder and alias any engine to it.

VERY IMPORTANT
I would suggest that you edit one line in the engine file of any locomotive aliased to this sound.
Open the engine file and scroll down to you see this line "DieselEngineMaxRPMChangeRate".
Change the number on this line to 35 and save your changes when you close.
