    I have the AHS Eurostar and the AWS Sound in the Cab only plays for about 1 second and it can be missed
    Is there a way to change it so it plays until acknowledged?
    In the CabSound.proxyxml I changed
    <IsLooped d:type="bool">0</IsLooped> to <IsLooped d:type="bool">1</IsLooped>
    but that has not made a difference

    Any thoughts please

    Without having checked that, I'd say simply replace the sound file with a longer one.

    Looping it would mean it stays on until the next green signal.

    Always clear cache after editing proxyxml files, as they are cached in the blueprints.pak.

    The AWS it is a warning sound which on UK locos continues to sound until cancelled
    On the AHS Eurostar the length of the file makes no difference.- I changed the file to one off a UK Unit.
    It stops after about 1.5 seconds even though it has not been cancelled.

    Not sure what to change to make it play longer

    If changing it to looped and swapping the file don't help, it's in the engine script. Which is compiled. The only thing left to do would be to contact the developer and ask for a patch.
