Engine Sounds
F25 – Engine Sounds
You can turn the Engine Sounds On/Off by pressing the F25 button. Pressing it
once (enabling F25) will cause the Engine Sounds to shut off. TheWhistle/Horn
and Bell sounds will still be active, however. To turn the engine sounds back on
press the F25 button again (disable F25).
Additional F Functions
F14-F16 – Idle Sequence
Pressing F14, F15, or F16 twice (toggling on then off) will trigger an Idle
Sequence if the engine is not moving. These vary from engine to engine and may
include things like checking the coal load, checking the water level, using the
Alemite grease gun on the drivers, etc. When triggered, these will run through the
sequence that varies in duration.
NOTE – The engine must be sitting still in order to trigger these
F17 – Extended Start-Up
If your engine is shut down or you've just applied DCC power pressing F17 twice
(toggling it on then off) will start the Extended Start-Up
sounds. This is very similar to F3 except you will hear the crew talking back and
forth about getting the engine ready to run.
F18 – Extended Shut-Down
If your engine is already up and running you can play the Extended Shut Down
sounds by pressing F18 twice (toggling on then off). The Extended Shut Down is
very similar to F3 in that the engine will ultimately shut down, but in the case of
Extended Shut Down you will hear the crew talking back and forth about how
the engine ran, time schedules, etc.
F19 – Labor Chuff
To force the Labor Chuff sound in a steam engine, press the F19 button once
(enable F19). As long as F19 is enabled the engine will play its Labor Chuff
sounds. To set the sound back to Normal Chuff press the F19 button again
(disable F19).
F20 – Drift Chuff
To force the Drift Chuff sound in a steam engine, press the F20 button once
(enable F20). As long as F20 is enabled the engine will play its Drift Chuff
sounds. To set the sound back to Normal Chuff press the F20 button again
(disable F20).
