Feature Custom Horn Sound Design Feature In Tsw In Near Future And A Second Suggestion

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. So, I have a suggestion in which I think it would be awesome for you guys to add in the near future in TSW either 5 and above. Adding a feature called Custom Horn Sound Design along with the other features you guys have that are already in the game such as Livery Designer, Photo Mode, and the new Consist-making feature I believe? and many others. This feature, Custom Horn Sound Design is a feature where basically you have the ability to create your own horn sounds by putting each single air horn sound note together and making them sound into a complete horn, basically to create a chord which then creates an air chime or chimes. The way how this would work is, to my knowledge and understanding, there will be as many air horns there need to be in order to make a complete horn sound and so each air horn sound will produce a different single note and basically you have the option to choose which ever note it produces either if it's a major or a minor note, then once you choose your air horn notes, then you put them together and basically make it into a complete airchime horn. If you want to make a K5LA or a K5LAR24 or Narrow Font and etc, you can make that by doing exactly that by adding however many air horn notes you need to make it sound like a K5LA once you put them all together and once you put them all together, then boom it becomes a airtime K5LA. This goes for every type of horn whether it's K5HL, K5HLL, K5HLA, K5LAR24, K3LA, and many others. Note that all horn sounds can sound however they want to in this feature. Once all finished then you can put your custom horn on your locomotives and the locomotives can be any locomotives that are out there such as locomotives from the Commuter trains such as MBTA, Metrolink and many others, and freight's such as CSX, BNSF, and NS and many others.

I honestly think this would be a cool feature to add in the near future since you guys also have other features such as the Livery Designer, Photo Mode, and others and I just feel like that as apart of that, there could be a place for a custom horn sound design thing as well as part of the creation. Now of course we will still have all the defaulted horns and stuff from the creators of the game but if people too want to make their own horn sounds, they certainly can as well. This feature by the way would also be compatible for all and on all platforms such as PC, PlayStation, Xbox and whatever other platforms that Train Sim World is played on.

Second Suggestion: I think it would also be cool if we could have where AI trains can blow their horns at each railroad crossings they pass through, doesn't have to be all but at least some, just you know, to give the drivers and people who are on the roads or on the street or at the station, to know that there is a train approaching. Also will there be people on the roads and on the streets as well? Because I think this would also be another cool thing to see as it will make the game feel like more you know reality and stuff.

Thanks.

 

Programmatic horns is a very interesting feature idea. You'd need base sounds for each tone, and some sort of "muffled" modifier for when you're in the cab. I don't know enough about horns or sound engineering to know if this would actually work, but it's certainly a new and creative idea.

 

Ah, yes that is true! And yeah, thanks!
