    So I downloaded the P42DC update pack from Railworks America which is now working. I still have the default engine sound equipped to it. How can I replace the built-in sound with the realistic GE7FDL16 prime mover sound? I tried copying and pasting the P42DC Empire Builder sounds over there to no avail. When I overwrote the default sounds on the Empire Builder P42DC with the Railworks America engine sound the GE7FDL16 replaced it with no problems. I must be doin something wrong.

    I'd suggest looking in the .bin file for the loco's and seeing how the sounds are called for and configured, editing the one that's *wrong* to suit.

    Okay I gave it a try but still no luck. Maybe I'm still doing something wrong.

    What does it tell you when you try to become a member?

    Something about not being authorized or to that effect. I attempted a second time and was successful.

    That's what I'm dealing with now. The engine sound is still unchanged. Might have to reinstall this DLC and start over from scratch.

    Now I've ruined the Welcome to Miami scenario. Deleted the CSX C40-8W accidentally and after putting it back on the map as the service 1 train it won't move and as a result I can't do the scenario. I did fix the engine sound though.
