PS3 engine, squealing brake sounds and horn question.

Did you do a feature or factory reset?  Does the engine have speed control?  If no speed control, you won't get the squealing brakes.  G

the squealing brakes sound doesn't sound when I slow the train to a stop or when I use the brake button. I've scrolled thru the menu and I've chosen "auto" but it doesn't seem to matter. 

Try this:

   Menu/Sounds/Accent Sounds and set it to 100%

If that doesn't work, do a Feature Reset:

   Menu/Advanced/Reset Engine/Feature Reset, select the engine and press the thumbwheel twice.

If neither of the two solutions above yield a positive result, contact MTH regarding the possibility that a newer sound file may be available for your engine.

Also I noticed in the instruction book that it says ps2 trains will have different horn blasts when you hold the horn button down for different lengths of time. "Again mine is a PS3,"  but when I hold the button down it doesn't matter how long, it's always just one blast. 

That's not all that unusual. I have a few PS3 engines that also don't have a "tail" on the horn or whistle.

I've noticed on the soft keys that there are two other horn/whistle sounds and I like the way they sound, is there any way to incorporate those sounds in with the horn button so they play with depressing the horn button? 

Unfortunately, there is not.

This and a whole lot more is all in “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition!" This book is available from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at OGR’s web store!
