Create: TrainSounds
TrainSounds enhances the Create mod with dynamic engine sounds for various train types.
About this Mod
🚂 TrainSounds
TrainSounds is an immersion-focused addon for the Create Mod that brings your rail network to life. No more silent electric locomotives or generic steam huffs—TrainSounds introduces dynamic, speed-reactive engine audio and advanced fleet management tools.
🔊 Dynamic Audio Experience
- Speed-Sensitive Pitch: Engines roar as they accelerate and hum quietly at idle, with pitch and volume perfectly synced to your train's actual velocity.
- Multiple Engine Types: Custom sound profiles specifically designed for Diesel and Electric icons.
- Intelligent Logic: Electric sounds only trigger when a live connection is detected (via PAW), adding a layer of realism to your electrified lines.
🛠️ Advanced Carriage Management
Control your train like never before with the dedicated Management Interface.
- Per-Carriage Toggling: Enable or disable engines on specific carriages to customize your train's power profile and soundscape.
- Interactive 3D Preview: (Exclusive to Create 6.0+) View your train in a beautiful blueprint-style menu. Use your Right Click to rotate the model and the Scroll Wheel to zoom in on specific details.
