Coupler and Coupler Crash Sounds (F3)
There are two ways to use the F3 key.
•
As your engine is about to couple up to a string of cars, press the
F3 key to trigger the crashing sound of engine coupling. Use the F3
key again as the engine moves out to trigger the same sound as the
slack is taken up in the cars.
•
Use the F3 key in Neutral to produce uncoupling sounds as you
disconnect cars over uncoupler magnets. Press the F3 key once
to produce the sound of the lift bar and coupling pin being raised.
This also arms the uncoupling sound effect. Press the F3 key again
while moving or in Neutral to trigger the sound of the coupler knuckle
opening and air-lines parting.
Sound-of-Power™
Your steam locomotive will produce labored Chuffing sounds under
acceleration and lighter Chuffing sounds under deceleration but only if CV
3, or CV 23 and CV 4, or CV 24 are set to non-zero positive values. The
level of labored sounds is proportional to the values for these four CV’s, and
how much the throttle is increased or decreased.
Under acceleration, the Chuffing sounds will be more labored until the
locomotive has achieved its final speed where it will then produce standard
sounds appropriate to its throttle setting. Under deceleration, the engine
Chuffing sounds are less labored until it achieves its final speed where it will
again produce standard steam sounds appropriate to its throttle setting.
Note:
If your locomotive has two sets of drivers, you will hear two sets of
steam Chuffing sounds that will go gradually in and out of synchrony.
