    After my Rant in the ongoing Thread about "Improving Sound", i want to suggest a constructive solution to create high impact with low effort. Its about the missing Flange Sounds, which are not implemented on most of the newer dlcs from DTG.
    Beside the fact not even a Modder can take action due the soundfiles not existing, its a mistery itself why such a characteristic sound of railroading has been forgotten / cutted away, or for what ever reason not been included. This is a serious immerison braker and has to be patched.

    So now to my suggestion, which i called low effort since DTG actually modeled those sounds very well in the past ;).

    1) Adapting the existing Flange sounds of the Class 314 to the Class 313:

    2) Adapting the existing Flange sounds of the ECW Class 377 to the L2B 377 & 387:

    Since the Flange Sound of the ecw Class 377 does exist, but just not has been included in the London Commuter Class 377, they dont even have to create a new sound. So it can also be adapted to the 387.

    Same for the 314, the existing flange sounds are superb, so all DTG has to do is adapt it to the Class 313, which has currently no flange sounds.

    I really hope they look into that, so with this patch we would have at least 3 Trains covered and my annoyance about DTGs "vision of TSW" lateley can become less.
